they will be completely paralyzed this,
for We have given special attention TO
the selections of new designs and
patterns. We intend to make a spec.
iality of this line of goods. We have
already received a part of our new
stock, and the designs are all new and
very beautiful, consisting of plain and
figured ingrains with combination Dor
ders and ceilings finishes
Embossed Gilts-etc. The blending
and harmony of colors in these designs
are something wonderful. We have
bought almost double the amount that
We did last year, and by making prices
lower than ever before We expect to
more than double our last years sales.
We are also making preparations for
big paint and oil trade. having
already placed our order for ten bar

EDITOR ADVOCATE: - The following
resolutions were adopted by the Brown
County Alliance at Its regular meeting In
this city yesterday:
Resolved, That We have abundant room
for thankfulness and cOngratulation that
the meetings of the industrial organizations
that met at st. Louis on the 22d of Feb
ruary, 1892, was characterized with spirit
Of patriotism, enthusiasm and fraternity
that foreshadows the ultimate triumph of
the principles that we advocate, and that we
heartily endorse the platform adopted at St.
Louis, and that we give it our unqualified
and hearty support.
Resolved, That, whereas, both old parties
in our last national campaign advocated
free silver in their platforms, have proven
reCreant to said pledges, having thereby
forfeited the confidence of all fair minded
and honest men, and that we heartily en-
dorse the bold stand Of our noble repre-
sentatiVes and senator in congress in de-
Tending the peoples right.
