THE AMERIOUS DAILY T1MES-RECOK DEE: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1891. CARPETS! RUGS! MATTINGS! Some Beautiful New Styles Just Added to the Larue Stock on Hand. \ You have heard a great deal about the advance on Carpets in consequence of the McKinley bill, and the half has hardly been told; but my opposition to a protective tariff leads me to do all that I can to lessen die burdens it imposes, and I am determined to sell vou Carpets AS LOW AS YOU EVER BOUGHT THEM, REGARD LESS OF THE TARIFF. To enable me to do this I sdl for CASH, and at MUCH SHORTER PROFITS than I could do on a CREDIT. I will take great pleasure in showing my Carpets to everybody. J. J. O-RANBERRY, AQ-T. T. M. Alien. T.

There being bnt tout wards In the city, It of course follow* that two of the fpor will be honored with more than one rep resentative, when there are ilx alder men. We believe this to be equitable and Just, and that Its acceptance by the primary will be fuUy Indorsed by tbe people at the polls.

In tbeM cold snaps tbe waterworks office will have frequent visitors to In quire wbat to do In tbe osm of a freeze, They usually come after the freeze has occurred, when the pipes have burst and tbe cold weather has played havoc generally about a man’* premises. It’s like Making a stable door after tbe hone has been stolen. The ‘’stop-aad-waste" ii a contrivance placed on the service pipe ' on a man' premises for the purpose of onttlng off the water from his bouse In ease of an aeddent or a leak.. It takes a long time to send to the waterworks offioe, and then there la no body ther* at night, when most of tbe damage Is done, so that every one should know where the “stop-aad-WMte” Is. There is one on the plaee Mmewhere. On a cold night every one should tarn this off. Tbe waterworks care for tbe pipe from tbe street mala to the corpo ration cock at tbe onrb, but bare noth ing to do with leaks beyood that point It Is of value to every one to observe this.
