CARPETS.

We have left number of pieces of
Brussel carpets, from our last years pur-
chase-which have been marked down to
45 cents per yard. The quality is excel
lent and just the thing for those who
want good carpet cheap without refer
ence to prevailing styles. The remain
der of our stock is new and selected with
care both as to quality and styles. Our
sales in this line of goods are very
large which 60 to prove two things:
That prices are satisfactory and the
quality of the goods suit the people.
Our stock is so large as to suit the most
diverse tastes. The purchaser is not
limited to a few patterns, as he must ne
cessarily be when the stock is limited,
and every opportunity is offered to ex-
anime the goods fully. Our ingram car
pets run in price from % cents upward
and in this line our stock is also COM
plete.
Owing to the large sale we have had IN
carpets We have made special efforts to
meet all demands and this department
stands unriyaled Ii the state. We are al
ways glad to show our goods even though
no purchase in the near future is con-
templated. All are invited to call and
look over our goods so that when they do
intend to buy they may know where they
can best be supplied. You cannot fail to
be pleased with our display and will do
your friends service by telling them what
YOU have seen. O. ToRRIsoN & Co.

PRIESTLEY'S BLACK GOODS.

We have just received a lot Of over
thousand dollars worth of the celebrat-
ed Priestley Black dress goods, bought
from the manufacturers agent direct and
therefore as low as any house in the
world-or in the United States, rather
can buy them. These consist of Silk
wrap Henrirettas, Silk warp Melrose,
Silk wrap Drap D'alma, Silk warp Grape
cloth, Silk warp Half mourning, Wool
Grape, Wool Venetian, Wool Biarritz
Cords, Wool Surah Twills, Wool diagonal
Cords, Wool Drap D'alma, Wool Mel
rose, Wool Panama, Cashmere De Linde,
81 inch Nuns Serge, Alys cloth, & etc.
The superiority of this brand over most
all other makes, lies in the fact that the
goods do not wrinkle nor spot from get
ting wet; the manufacturer guaranteeing
not only this but also that any dress not
giving entire satisfaction to the owner,
in regard to wear, may be returned to Us
for exchange. 40 SCHUETTE Bros.

DO NOT BE DECEIVED.

Certain dealers in the city are claiming
to sell the best Fodder Corn at S1.25 per
bushel. 1t is easy for them to say that;
but the B. & W. Corn is acknowledged
by farmers who have tried all kinds to be
the best, and challenge these parties to
furnish proof that their Corn is the B. &
". from the tide waters Of Virginia.
Genuine "B. & W." Corn cannot be sold
for any such price and if they claim theirs
to be the 'B. & W." they are knowingly
misrepresenting the facts. Both myself
and agents are selling better Corn than
theirs at S125, though for the 'B. & W."
we ask $50. Farmers have been warn
ed in Farmers Institutes throughout the
State against White Horsetooth Corn Of
Kansas or Missouri. OF two
things | am confident: First, there is no
genuine "B. & W." Corn being offered in
the city except by myself or agents.
Second, there is no Corn being offered
that viii compare in quality with that
we are selling at S1.25.

THERE is no fact more generally adver-
tised than that communications designed
for publication must be accompanied by
the writer's name. Otherwise, the letters
go into the waste basket. But such
communications continue to pour in. It
is an easy thing seemingly to understand.
that publishers Of papers insist upon
knowing who their correspondents are

EDITOR PmOT:-In last weeks issue
you say that the last amendments to the
fire limit ordinance left the ordinance as
it was last year. This is a mistake. The
difference between the ordinance as it
now stands and the one of last year is
about as follows: Under the present one
no building, (within the fire limits not
even private stable, can be built with
out being covered entirely by metal or
brick; any wooden building moved any
where within the fire limits, must be COW
cred in the same way; buildings for press
ing or storing hay cannot be built within
said limits, and must be covered as above
when built anywhere. All of the above
was either allowed in the old ordinance
or was left to the discretion of the board
to grant permission for same or not, upon
petition of resident owners of the block
in which such buildings We're to be built
or changed. At present any wooden
building enlarged to the extent of fifty
per cent. or more must be covered with
brick or metal entire-old part and ali.
But the greatest change for the better is
that now the board has no authority to
grant or deny anybody anything in re-
gard to building within the fire limits,
but the mayor and city fathers must
themselves abide by the provisions of
tins ordinance as long as it stands as at
present. If future boards viii enforce
same as strictly as the present one will,
great good will result to the entire city
through even this ordinance. T..

YESTERDAY opened quite cool and in
the afternoon threatened rain. This did
not prevent a large gathering of the old
soldiers, who rarely fail to do honor to
their dead comrades. The procession
was an unusually large one and quite
well arranged. The exercises at the GEM
etery were opened with prayer by Rev.
Mr.. Bossard, after which Mr.. Torrison
delivered a brief address, quite appropri-
ate to the occasion and in a manner which
would do credit to practiced speaker
Nature has endowed him with magni-
open air speaking.
The address by Mr.. Anderson was
lengthy one and in beauty OF diction and
flowers of rhetoric happy effort. The
subject matter, however, is open to criti-
cism and naturally leads to the inquiry
what the purpose of q memorial address
is? There is no disposition to do Mr..
Anderson injustice and possibly an I'M
favorable position where the address in
its continuity could not be followed is
the cause Of unfayorable Judgment. But
to Judge from fragments it was the most
bitterly partisan and sectional address
ever delivered before an audience who
had reason to expect the exclusion of
such things. The elevation of Lamar to
the supreme bench, the stufing Of ballot
boxes in the south, the presence Of rebels
in the halls Of congress, the suppression
Of the negro vote in the SOUTH the IN
loyal spirit still pervading that section,
vouched for on the personal knowledge
Of the orator, and the iDgratitude exhibit
ed toward the old soldiers. have been dis
cussed SO much from the political forum
that it would seem in keeping with pro-
priety to exclude them from an address
on Memorial Day when partisanship and
sectional hate should hush their discord-
ant notes in the presence Of the dead.
II such addresses are to be feature of
Decoration Day then is it well to discon-
tinue its observance. One cannot con-
ceive Of an address more Inappropriate;
full of denunciation OF traitors and of
northern people who sympathize with
traitors; burdened with political rancor;
and burning with the Fiery gospel of
hate. a conservative republican would
deprecate the bitterness of the speech, if
avowedly spoken In the interests of a
party, was it delivered in the heat of a
political campaign.
Mr.. Ostonfeldt spoke for about an
hour in German. The audience listened
to him attentively. After firing their
volleys over the graves of the dead SOL
diers the line of march was taken toward
| the city.
