Once in a while we oueht to
state the general fact that we
have, ten times over, the lartrcst
and best collection of rich and
novel dress-stuffs in town.
Once in a while we ought to
state the other general fact that
we sell such stuffs at fair prices
at first, and put them down as
the season wanes or they prove
unsuccessful. They are not
economical stuffs. They take no
account of money. But we do
not make them needlessly ex
travagant.
It is proper to say these things
to you right here at home and
to you within traveling distance
f ..- r.. i
oi us. i ou nave eyes to see
with. This isn't the only store
you siiop at. What we say has
tiouuie torce n you nnd ltimpar
tial, and double force the other
way if you find it empty brag
l en times me largest variety
oi ncn new ciress-stutis; not
needlessly extravagant.
Southwest and southeast ot tho center.
Think of that counter of rem
nants and odd-lot dress-stuffs
again.
All the remnants made today.to
morrow go to the remnant coun
ter. The quickest stuffs to go
are tne nrst to make remnants.
All the last-year's stuffs wheth
er remnants or not are there.
All the stuffs coining in for what
ever reason that hinder trade at
the dress-stuff counters go to
the odd-lot counter.
It's a store by itself; and it
makes the rest ot the store
better store by drawing the line
between old and new, between
fashionable and going out, be
tween what you would like if
money were plenty and what
you were glad to get for half or
three-quarters.

Blanket-time; that is, time to
remind you of blanket-wisdom
It isn't easy so close on the
heels of sultry unbearable wea
ther to be blanket-wise in r
minute. Begin a little earlv.
This is blanket-wisdom: No
matter how coarse, no matter
how fine, no matter how thin,
no matter how thick, no matter
whether cotton or wool but let
the blanket be big.
Depends on the size of your
bedstead of course. One spends
a third ol his time in bed un
guarded. Let the blanket be
big enough to lap over sides,
tuck in, and be your nightly
guard. There is but one virtue
in blankets. That virtue is big
ness. We have blankets lor wise
and unwise people; more for
the unwise because mere are
more of them. There are two
sorts of blankets: big and stingy.
Keep those two words in mind
There's a little hint besides
about money. Buy by thepound
The wisest people are apt to
come first. They shall buy at
present for 75 and 80c a pound
and fare extremely well. The
blankets we are thinking of vary
in size and thickness and fine
ness, $3.75 to $10 a pair.
Shortly we shall have to tel
of coarser and finer. We have
both; $2 to $35.

A needed word about Brus
sels and Tapestry carpets.
Brussels is Brussels and Tap
estry Tapestry. We never say
body Brussels for Brussels, nor
lapestry Jirusscls lor lapestry.
That is New York.
Brussels you know all about.
1 apestry you know almost notn
ingabout, except that Roxbury
Tapestry always comes first By
the way we are selling Roxbury
Tapestry carpets for 75 cents a
yard with plenty of latest pat
terns with borders to choose
from the usual price is $1
gets down sometimes to 95 or
90 cents did you ever hear of
75 before?
Let us say an old thread-bare
thing or two for the sake of say
ing better a new one that ougnt
to be known.
Tapestry carpetis an imitation
of Brussels. You may or may
not beable to distinguish between
them when they are on the lloor
You can if you happen to know
the one point in which they dif
fer, viz., sharpness, exactness,
angularity ot pattern, nut ev
erybody knows that the woolanc:
colors of Brussels show through
on the back; and that is the way
in which you probably judge be
tween them. You think Brus
sels shows its colors on the back
and Tapestry doesn't. You are a
year or two ueninu, 1 11c inar.e,-i a
tfcn.n.ilicr's.
are color-printing the back of
lapestry, so that the old way of
distinguishing Brussels from
lapestry is trood-for-nnfliincr
You have got to know more of
both than formerly to nun Un.
tween them. We are mllin.r tW,a
for warning. "Of course you
are thinking, "no decent mer
chant will tell me Tapestry is
Brussels." We w'n't discuss the
question who is decent and who
is not; but the usual practice is
to speak of Tapestry as Brussels.
In New York the merchants all
say "Brussels": so do their snips.
men of course; and, if asked the
question squarely whether the
carpet is Brussels or Tapestry,
they tret out of the hnU-rnlrl 1i.
by saying "Tapestry Brussels"
mcy get onto! it because they
don t dare to stick to it. W,.
maintain that the lying is don
when the lie is betrun.
Brussels is Brussels and Tap
estry lapestry.

Tho third meeting of the Ucuton Agri
cultural Society, from tho Otli to tho Otli
Instant, wns n grand financial success. It
will not only pay nil Us premiums nnd ex
penses In full, but will bo enabled to pay
Its stockholders a dividend. They should
feet proud of this. For tho first time In its
history It was favored with desirable
weather during tho cntlro time of meet
ing. Wo saw decided Improvements In tho
Fair of this year over previous years nnd
with 0 railroad to Benton, their future
meetings will comparo favorably with oth
er Fairs I11 tho Slate. Tho exhibits wcro
larger and some ot them better than for
merly. Tho display ot agricultural pro
ducts depends upon tho condition ot the
crops. This was a very unfavorable year
for somo of tho crops In tho northern part
of the county. Tho npple crop, which sel
dom falls there, is nn inferior crop this
year and tho display ot apples at the Fair
showed it, Tho display of potatoes wns
very small and bo was tiio crop. Squashes,
beets, rutabagas, carrots, onions, tomatoes,
were as largo and lino ns nt any Fair. Tho
cars of corn, tho specimens of wheat, ryr,
oats, buckwheat, barley, could not bo ex
celled. A full lino of mill products wns
exhibited by O. W. Cole, of Hhorsburg.
Tho honey crop was never larger than this
year nnd such largo displays wcro never
beforo seen nt a Fair in tho county. T
largest exhibitors were Daniel Fritz and
Joslah Coleman. Tho praises of tho wo
men In the northern part of tho county
have been so often sounded that It is only
necessary to say that their display did
them credit. Tho bread and cakes and
pics cannot be excelled. Tho pics alono
occupied as much spaco as all other baked
goods Thero was scores of them. The
wines, piescrvcs, jellies, spiced, pickled
and canned fruits wcro almost too tempt
ing to resist. Hero where you never hear
the expression, "good butter," for nil but
ter Is good, the most beautiful rolls were
shown.
The funcy work compared very favor,
able with that seen nt larger Fairs. In
quilts nnd cushions the crazy patch pre
vailed. Specimens of embroidery and
handsome lace wcro numerous. Fine
work on ladles undergarments showed how
skillful tho ladles In that part of the
comity are with tho needle. The work in
wool, hair and nrtiflclnl Mowers were very
fine. Tho display of millinery goods, lints
nnd bonnets trimmed in ribbons nnd fenth
ers and birds, was very creditable.
Tho exhibition of live stock was an im
provemont over last year. The Holslcln

cattle; besides Devons, Guernseys and na
tive stock. Tho horse show wa3 very fine,
The handsomest horses, marcs, colts and
driving horses were to be found among the

the males with greater caro and
tho colts show olf better. Sheep
nnd swine wero not very numerous
and they did not show much caro in
breeding. The poultry display was tho
smallest of all. All tiie faucy breeds
weie, however, represented.
Benton is too far from Hie railroad to
have a largo display of agricultural imple
ments. Thero was only one mowing ma
chine', tho Champion, one broancust seeder,
ono feed cutter, splitter and crusher.

Day and Night
During nn acuto attack of Bronchitis, a
ceaseless tickling in tho throat, and nn
exhausting, hacking cough, afillct tho
sufferer. Sleep hi banished, and great
prostration follows. This disease Is also
attended with Hoarseness, and some
times Loss ot Voice. It Is llablo to be
como chronic, Involve tho lungs, and
tcrmlnato fatally. Ayer's Cherry Pecto
ral affords speody rollof and euro In cases
of Bronchitis. It controls tho disposition
to cough, and Induces refreshing sleep.
I havo been a practising physician for
twenty-four years, nnd, for the past
twelvo, havo suffered from annual at
tacks of Bronchitis. After exhausting
all tho usual remedies
Without Relief,
I tried Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It
effected a speedy cure. G. Stoveall,
M. 1)., Carrollton, Miss.
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral Is decidedly tho
best remedy, within my knowledge, for
chronic Bronchitis, anil all lung diseases.
M. A, Kust, M. D South Paris, Me.
I was attacked, last winter, with n
sevoro Cold, which grow worso and
settled on my Lungs. By night sweats
I was reduced almost to nskeleton. My
Cough was incessant, and I frequently
spit blood. My physician told me to
givo up business, or I would not llvo a
month. After taking various remedios
without relief, I was finally
Cured By Using
two bottles ot Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.
I am now In perfect health, and able to
resumo business, after having been prc
nouncod Incurable with Consumption.
S. P. Henderson, Saulsburgh, Penn.
For years I was In n doclino. I had
weak lungs, and suffcroil from Bron
chitis and Catarrh. Ayer's Cherry Pec
toral restored me to health, and I havo
been for n, long tlmo comparatively vig
orous. In caso ot a sudden cold I always
resort to tho Tectoral, and find speedy
relief. Edward E. Curtis, Rutland, Vt.
Two years ago I suffered from a severe
Bronchitis. The physician attending
mo became fearful that tho disease would
tcrmlnato in Pneumoala. After trying
various medicines, without boneflt, ho
prescribed Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,
which relieved ino at onco. I continued
to tako this medicine and was cured.
