finest carpet-rooms in Ohio, and one of
those clear, mellow lights, which is nee
essary to show a carpet in its true light,
and show just how it viii look when laid

no need of carrying oar Carpets up stairs to
show them, the light being so much SUI
perior down in our Carpet-room. Come
and see for yourself. This firm have just
replenished their stock of Jamestown AL
pacas with many new and beautiful de-
signs. No goods in the market equal to
