And you will have the chance of seeing the most gorgeous array of
EVER SEEN IN GAINESVILLE.
We Make No Promise
Tnat we do not expect carrying out to the letter.
Advertisidg impossibilities and absurdities is con-
trary to our style of doing business, and is only
calculated to bring into disrepute and ridicule
those who indulge in that abominable practice.
We Do Promise
To show you the newest, ireshest and cleanest
stock of
A FEW DAYS MORE
The same low prices that we were
the sole originators of in this city
will be within your grasp.
A FEW DAYS MORE,
And you will see the monopolies
and high prices crumble one by one,
and we will cause the crumble by
our One-Price Casli System.
We Thank You, One and All
P
And point with pride to the near termination, of
this, our first business season in your midst. That
it has been fruitful of much good a casual look
at prices to-day and those that existed before our
coming will satisfy anyone tdat competition is the
life of trade, and we at all times court "honest"
competition when not coupled with trickery and
deceit.
DRY GOODS, CLOTHING, BOOTS AND SHOES,
TRUNKS AND VALISES, CARPETS AND RUGS,
All bought from first hands FOR CASH, SOLD FOR CASH, and if this does not justify us in the assertion that we can, will and sell lower
than all others then accuse us openly of deception. Respectfully,
CORNER CALIFORNIA AND RUSK STREETS.

ltive:
Why is a bustle like a cranky
politician? Because it is always
sat down upon and is known to be
a wire-working institution.
Mr. Blaine says there never
was a time when England did not
get what she wanted from the
Democrats. England ran against
a good Democrat at New Orleans
once and got a great deal more
than she wanted. On several
other notable occasions also the
Britishers have been badly treated
by sound Democrats.
The cotton growers are passing
resolutions denouncing the out-
rageous advance in the price of
cotton bagging made by the trust
and calling upon congress to pass
laws regulating trusts out of exis-
tence. Perhaps the cotton grow-
ers can tell Mr. Blaine whether
trusts are private affairs with
which the president has noth-
ing to do.
President Van Horne, of the
Canadian Pacific, takes pains to
declare that the president's policy
of retaliation will hurt American
railroads much more than Cana-
dian railroads. If this be true
why should #the Canadians object
bo strenuously to the enforcement
of it? It is hardly possible that
they are actuated by sympathy for
suffering American roads.
YOB FLOATBB—COOKE AMD GRAYSON
JESSE MURBKLL,
OF OOOKB COUMTY.
While General Harrison is rest-
ing a lively row has broken out
among the Republicans of Indiana.
Judge Wm. P. Edson in a public
interview accuses the Harrison
leaders of having deceived and be-
trayed him, and declares that the
nomination of Gen. Hovey lor
governor was secured by the sac-
rifice of his friends and by trick-
ery, treachery and clap-trap. He
says farther that the nomination
will contribute to the defeat of the
state and national ticket. The
chances of Harrison winning in
Indiana with a united party were
bad enough, but with a divided
party they are utterly wiped out.
McKinley's speech in Georgia
was an able argument against in-
ternational free trade, which no
party in this country is contend-
ing for. But he rather overdid it
in his argument on the benefits of
a home market, and not only inti-
mated, but proved, if he proved
anything, that interstate tariffs to
protect each state's home market
would be a good thing for this
country. There was nothing in
his speech, however, to prove him
wiser than the framera of our con-
stitution. Their provision for a
strictly revenue tariff may be
evaded by Mr. McKinley in tariff
legislation, but he will have to get
the consent of the American peo-
ple to a constitutional amendment
before he can put a stop to free
between the thirty-eight
territories of the
Union.
Coaplalnts Against Lumber Rates.
St. Paul, Minn,, Aug. 28.—An
adjourned meeting of representa-
tive lumbermen of the etate and
legal rerpeeentatives and officials
of the differant railroads was held
at the office of the state board of
railroad commssioners this after-
noon. The meeting grew out of
complaints made principally by
Minneapolis lumbermen that the
schedule rates for the transporta-
tion of lumber operates against
lumber interests of Minneapolis
and in favor of the Wisconsin
mills. At the meeting the com-
plaints of the lumbermen met
with consideration by ihe railroad
men to an extent that induced the
opinion that the difficulty could
be settled better outside of the
railroad commission than in it.
Hence, an agreement was reached
that the lumbermen and railroad
men should each appoint a com-
mittee to meet and try to adjust
matters satisfactorily. The ap-
pointment of the committee and
the time and place of meeting v. ill
be made later.
As Aged Couple Killed by Lightning.
Greenfield, Mass., Aug. 28.—
Deacon Loveripg, aged 90, his
sister and housekeeper, Mrs.
Richardson, aged 87, were instant-
ly killed by lightning about mid-
night and the farm house, barns
and buildings were burned. The
scene of the tragedy was in the
town of Gill. The neighbors not
far distant saw the flames of the
burning house, and hurried to
render assistance. The old man,
who had been the deacon of the
village church for fifty years, was
found sitting in a chair dead. His
sister's body was burned to a
crisp.

Jefferson, Tex., Aug. 28.—Hon.
J. H. Culberson announced him-
self to-day as a candidate for ^dis-
trict judge of the district against

long experience and is known to
the people of this district. He

berson.
A Camp-Meeting CUted.
Tuscola, 111., Aug. 28.—Nearly
2000 people were in attendance at
the camp-meeting at Newman to-

caused here to-day by the receipt
of a bulletin stating that Gen.

gret were heard on all sides and
the event was the topic of the day.

pepsia, and kindred ills is ihe
famous California liquid fruit

To the Public.
On Monday, September 3, 1888,
I will open in Gainesville a school
to accommodate a limited number
of young people of both sexes.
My object is to provide those
who cannot affird the time and ex-
pense required to attend distant
high institutions, and those who
cmnot secure such particular in-
struction as they desire—opportu-
nities for doing thoroughly good
work in a few branches.
Teachers not engaged and those
wishing to lit themselves for teach-
ing are especially desired. It is
hoped that the school may develop
in the future into a teachers' train-
ing school, which is at present the
special need of North Texas.
I do not wish to receive as pu-
pils boys and girls who will find
their proper place in the ordinary
grades of the public schools.
The instruction will be largely
individual in character, thus
affording earnest and ambitious
students more favorable conditions
than are possible under the cus-
tomary class methods
In the matter of studies, prom-
inence will be given to English—
read'ng, composition, literature
and those auriliary studies that
contributed to give a ready com-
mand of good English, whether
spoken or written; also arithmetic,
book-keeping, algebra, geometry,
Latin and Greek, and such other
branches as teachers, or those pre-
paring for college, or the profes-
sions may require.
Terms, $5 per month payable in
advance.
It is earnestly requested that
those who contemplate entering
the school will let me know at the
earliest opportunity their inten-
tion of so doing.
Pupils from abroad will be
afforded every assistance in secur-
ing proper boarding places at
reasonable rates. Respectfully,
Thos. F. Hughes.
