CARPETS, On CLOTH AND MATING
" Moving season is now nearly here,
when a great many families will change
their homes, and when you take up
your carpets, you will find that some of
them are not worth putting down again,
SO you will have to buy some new ones.
There is another class who have no car
pets, good or bad; we mean
those who will begin house
keeping this spring.. Now it is to your
cheapest. We have very much more
old stand land therefore have a very much
larger stock, in fact. almost double the
quantity of carpets, mating and oil
cloth that we had in the old room. Our
stock is almost entirely new. as we ran
off nearly all our old stock before we
moved. We bought our stock with great
care, and have marked the prices very
low as we are determined to do q big
carpet trade. We have very good in
grain carpets at 25c and CSC per yard.
We have one grade of carpet at 55c
which we will compare with any 65c
carpet any where. We have no extra
expense connected with this department
and therefore can afford to sell on very
small profits. We have elegant light to
show our carpets in, as they are just be-
low the sky-light and you can see exact
ly what you are buying, and you will
not be disappointed when you get it on
your floor. We take pleasure in show
ing our carpets and hope you will call
and examine what we have in that line.

MARRIED ON THE TRAIN.--CUM-
BERLAND, March ia novel we'd
ding took place on the east-bound ac-
commodation train on the B. & o. r.
r. on Saturday evening last as the
train was coming down the seventeen
mile grade at very. rapid rate. AS
1t stopped at Swanton a gentleman
and lady boarded the train. Nothing
was thought of it at the time, but at
the next station a preacher stepped on
the train and inquired of the conduc-
tor if a couple had boarded his train
at Swanton. When informed they
had, he rushed through the car to
where the couple were seated, and, in
the presence of all the passengers, pro-
nounced them man and wife while the
train was going at her best speed.
The couple were strangers to all on
board. The only reason given by the
preacher for the haste was. that the
license was made out in Maryland, and
at the rate the train was going they
would have soon been in West Vir-
ginia, and the license void. The bride
and groom got off at Piedmont and
took the express for the West.

BACK ON A VIsIT.-Mr. VIM. Sieg-
Ter, of Eldorado, Kansas, arrived in
town Saturday evening, on visit
to friends in Berkeley and Pennsyl-
vania, after which he will return
West. He was grieved to find the
home of his relatives IN mourning, and
his sad duty to attend the funeral of
his Einsman, Mr.. Woods, who was
buried on Sunday.
Mr.. Sigler and family now like their
western home very well but life in
the West has its own peculiar expert
ences, and few like it from the first.
They are thirty miles from Wichita,
in a town of 5000 inhabitants and a
good agricultural county. Ofwestern
lands, Mr.. Siegler says, the bottom
lands are rich and in SO great demand
that little or no low ground remains.
The uplands are subject to drouth and
crop failures.
The experience in the West seems
to be a hard time of it for several
years, but the hundreds of fine farms
insure good homes and valuable prop
erty by perseverance and labor. The
greatest difficulty is with those who
have not money enough to hold out.
Men without some money, good
trade or some influential friends, have
no better show in the West than here,
mot as good in fact.
AS to " booms," our readers can
imagine how town stands in the
height of a real estate Is boom," where
brokers' offices and street corners are
lined with eager spectators; and no"
it stands when the fictitious values
have subsidized. The sales that are
made for improvement, location, ano
business are worth more than all the
speculative booms."

was no contest for the offices Of May

candidate for each position. There
were two tickets for Couucilmen-
the old members and the victorious
gentlemen named below. A very
small vote was polled, there being a
total Of only 1876. The following is

whisky, having been run by the anti

fact that under the new law the H.
