DISTR-K I <OI IIT OPENS
MW TERM OF <’Ol It I
(Brownwood Bulletin,)
The May term of the Brown coun-)
ty District court was opened Monday
afternoon with the empannelling of!
the grand jury and the charge of the^
court.
I he charge of the - • va _
louching Tor the most part th • duties
and authority of the grand jury. The
jurors were cautioned not to cause
a waste of time of farmers and oth
ers by requiring them to come to
town too frequently to appear before
he jury, and to proceed with the work
before them with the greatest possible
dispatch. "If the officers have'done
their duty you won't have to remain
•n session long," said the court.
The petit jury for-this week ua
selected, the court excusing all but
sixteen of the jurymen to allow them
to return to their crops. The peculiar
farming conditions existing just now
worked a great hardship upon the
court in the selection of the jury,
but Judge Goodwin was as lenient as
possible and is arranging to accom-
modate the farmers to the fullest ex-
tent.
The docket for the present term i«
rather a heavy one, anil will lie taken
up at once.
Real Worth vs. Low Cost
If you asked your butcher for
a porterhouHo steak and he handed
yon a cut of the flank and said,
"This doesn't cost as much and
is just as good," you wouldn't
believe him, would you?.r
Yet the" butcher'a statement
1b just as truthful as an asser-
tion that-inferior baking pow-
der* made of alum or phosphate of
jiijne are afl’jrood-as Dr. Price's,
which is made from cream of
tartar.
Alum is a mineral acid salt,
declared by many medical authori-
ties unsafe to use in food.
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Pow-
der is ns pure and wholesome as
.the'grapes in the vineyard, from
which cream of tartar is derived.
The only .reason for using such.
Hiibstitutes as alum and lime
phosphates is because their oOst
is less to the manufacturer.

( qttnn Damaged by Exposure.
„ (Brownwood Bulletin.)
Cotton jyhich ha- been held ny
Brown county farmers at their homes
hm- been coming into the local com-
pre- recently as a result of the high-
er prices, and when opened a majority
of the hales show the effect of being
exposed to tie weather during the
winter.
Very few of the .farmers .who held
cotton at their homes took the prtv-
i a ut ion to .store it under shed- to
protect it from the rains, and it seem?
that evyn th- simple precaution of
turning the bales over after u rain
has been neglected. At any rate the
c impress people find that many bales
are damaged to a depth of from four
to six inches, which means an enor-
mous loss per hale. Farmers who
j rre accustomed to holding their cot
| ton might learn a lesson from the .
many of them, who hold ten to twin.
1 ty bales each season, would save th,
cost of constructing a light shed to
; protect the cotton from ram.

is a Very Busy Time
—with most people but we must sell goods and to sell goods we know that now the price must be right, in fact we must
offer you enough inducement to get you to either come yourself or go to a little trouble to get the goods. We leave that
up to you. Some of our competitors are still sore because we came to Coleman and some still try to tell you how we
run our business, when the truth is he don-t know any to much about his own business and should be trying to run that
end of it instead of trying to run ours for us. Not long ago some one tried the hfld-up on one of our customers, tried to
charge him 75c forVelva but it didn’t work. We sold the syrup, and that fellow told our customer that if we sold Velva
for 60c we would skin him on something else. Now that person or human, if it was a human ought to come around and
see how we run our business before he tries to. tell some one who knows more abdut our style of business in one minute
than he could ever learn. Read this:- Now we haven’t anything against our competitors and don’t care hoW much
they talk if they will tell the truth, and the next time some one tells you we use leaders and will skin you on something
else you just remember, that when you trade here satisfaction is and must be yours. Read our prices it mav be you
can afford to stop work one half day or so to save on your purchases.
