TheGreat Sale Of Auction Carpets
 Continues.

To make you realize the magni- tude of the great New York auc- tion sale at which these carpets were bought, we go back to the facts:
 More than 5O,OOO rolls, about $2,000,000 worth of new, perfect carpets, just manufactured, were sold on the block, in New York, by order of Alexander Smith & Sons Carpet O., the great manu- lecturers of Yonkers. This sale was made necessary because of the general dullness in the carpet trade all along. It was sale un- precedented and unparalleled, but it made a market for these goods, and though the manufacturers lost heavily, they were perfectly satisfied to unload. The goods went out to all parts of the United States.
 We were in first-rate condition to take advantage of this sale to the utmost, having a very light stock of carpets here in the store, and so bought generously of the big plums that dropped.
 It is these that are now creating such a great commotion here and attracting customers from all over this region.

 The suggestion made by Rev. J. A. Solandt at the cemetery Memorial morn ing should meet the hearty approval of all. The thought was, that, as in all the larger cemeteries of our towns there are monuments raised in memory of those who gave their lives for their country, so we should place near the entrance of all our smaller cemeteries small monument or something upon which the names of the soldiers could be engraved. Nothing elaborate or costly would be excepted but some simple design, and the expense could be met in some way, we would say not by the soldiers as they have already done all that should be asked of them but by the other persons of the town. Will not every one think seriously of this matter, as were not the soldiers who went from these so called ''back places" just as true to the right, and to their country, as those who went from our cities and larger villages? :? If this be true, then let us see that this suggestion is soon put in- to effect.
