We have, however, some few remnants, odds and ends in all departments, any of which we will close out at very low prices. Should you need anything aud write us for a remnant, we will scad you the nearest thing in remnants answering your needs, and give you the privilege of returning it if you do not consider it a bargain. This week we will make our first trip to cities looking for special bargains in Parlor Suits, Bedroom Fur? niture and Embroideries and White Goods.
