der to reduce it, we have decided to
make " horizontal reduction that

positively assert that we shall place
lower prices on Carpets than they were
ever before sold for in Portage County

our reason for this sacrifice in price is
that we want the room for our Fall

Now is your opportunity. You will

purchases in the line of Carpets.
We mention in particular our large

marked on them will meet your ap-
proval ,and cause you to willingly part
with your bottom dollar, if needs be,

of it.: An elegant Brussels Carpet at

7. A. Bennett returned from Georgia Monday
morning. on Erie train IL, accompanied by his
wife, Mrs. Chester Fisher, and A. H. Hine, of
Lincoln Avenue. He reports prosperous sea-
son at his peach farm. The crop was an extra
good one, 10 cars or 5000 bushels being har-
vested. The entire picking was sent to Bos-
ton firm.
Every modern convenience has been secured
by Mr.. Bennett at his farm. In order to expe-
dite matters, he had switch from the railroad
built. extending into the heart of his orchard.
He says he has absolutely no use for the col
ored labor of the South that no dependence
can be placed upon the best of the negro help.
His experience shows them to be an improvi-
dent lot of indolent beings. that will only work
when starvation stares him in the face. Then
they will work few days, long enough to earn
few dollars, and quit to enjoy the usufruct of
| their toll in a profound ina ctivity from which
| nothing but the most pressing necessity can
| arouse them. He says they will work sometimes
| for week or two, long enough to inspire their
employer with the belief that they can be de-
pended upon for the balance of the season, and
| then without any warning or provocation, leave
their job. no matter how badly their services
may be needed. or what the emergency requir-
| ing them to stay.
| He thinks one good white laborer worth a
whole company of the African adjuncts, and to
the fact that he secured white help almost ex-
clusivey he attributes his success with his large
crop this year.
The weather in Georgia has been cooler and
| far more endurable than in Ohio, during the
past few weeks. The crops are in the main well
in season, and promise well, up to Kentucky.
He says that State appears as though it had
suffered water famine for six months. Thai
cotton and corn, which look well up to the line
of that State, are almost without an existence
in Kentucky, on account of the very dry season
In speaking of the railroads of the South, he
said that the tracks and equipment were fully
equal to those in the North, and the accommo
dations unrivalled in any part of the country.
The great drawback to the country is it
wretched system of farming, which Mr.. Bennett
| AYERS belongs to a date so ancient that it sur

This, however, he says is being rapidly dom

capital and energy. The people, he says, are
very anxious for Northerners to go there AM
