The demand often brings the supply.
It is so in this case. Having heard
rumers among the ladies of the need
of another dress maker I responded
to the urgent request of my friends
and have decided to operate an es-
tablishment at my place of business.
I will be ready for the trade by
September 1st, and will appreciate all
the patronage which you see fit to
bring my way. Get your orders in
early as we can give better satisfac-

we have to rush the work.

and expect to put out some as artistic
creations and ideal costumes as was
ever shown in Sulphur Springs.
Give us a trial.

Farm In Fine Condition.
County Judge Patterson and Com-
missioners-Attlesey, Alvis, Wood and
Junell visited the County, Farm last
week and report everything in fine
condition there. Judge Patterson says
it will make between 2,000 and 2,500
bushels of corn, that the cotton is the
best he has seen in the countyjandtbat
the pea crop isj'heavy and fine. He
and Commissioner Wood counted 85
full grown bolls on one stalk of cotton.
It begins to look as though the (pountv
Farm might become at least sel£-sus-
taining after awhile. Up ’till the
August term of court last year more
than $3,000 had.been .transferred from
the general fund to the County Farm
fund to maintain it. Up until the same
time this year only $1,000 had been so
transferred, and $300 of that has been
paid back by the farm since then.
This makes the farm cost the county
something like $2,300 less this year
than was expended on it up to the
same time last year.
We are glad Superintendent Plem-
mons is succeeding with the Farm and
trust that it may yet be made self-sus-
taining.
Mack Elected Secretary.
F. W. Mack has been elected secre-
tary for the Commercial Club, assum-
ing his duties last week. Mr. Mack is
an enthusiastic believer in the won-
derful (^resources of Hopkins county
and the possibilities of Sulphur Springs
and has the knack of impressing pros-
pectors with the fact that we have a
great county and a prosperous and
live town. We are pleased to see him
take hold of this work; for we feel
sure he wiil make good.
Hotel Moved.
I have sold the Tennessee Hotel and
have moved to the residence recently
occupied by Prof. Witt on Gilmer
street, just one block south from
Boyd’s corner, and will continue in
the hotel business. I will also be pre-
pared to take care of a number of
boarders.
Will be glad to have my friends and
former customers call at my new place.

Commercial Club News.
G. W. Childs and A. O. Wells of
Beau mont, are in the city. They came
to the Commercial Club rooms and
were fully informed about our city and
county. They are here with the view
of buying homes and becoming cit-
izens. liiey are highly pleased and we
are pretty sure that they will become
citizens.
Mr. Wells is a coal man from Da-
kota, and he pronounces the new lig-
nite coal from the new field of a very
fine grade, in fact the best he ever
saw. Messrs. Childs and Wells will
have many others to come here from

W. C. Johnson of San Antonio, call-
ed at the Club rooms today. Mr.
Johnson is here to buy watermelons
in car lots, but as the season Is about
over, he informs us that he will not
pe able to secure a single car. This is
certainly good for the county as the
buyers from all over the State come
here to buy our different products.
George Landers of the Brinker com-
munity, brought to thq Club rooma
today a cluster of English walnuts,
and they are certainly beautiful and
interesting. Mr. Landers has proven
that they wiil grow here to perfec-
tion. He has three trees that are full
of the walnuts in clusters from eight
to fourteen in a cluster. We want
every one to do like Mr: Landers.

New York City, Aug. 11.—Jlr. Aus-
tin M. Bailey, Sulphur Springs, Tex.
Dear Sir: I received your letter this
morning. I am glad you are doing so
well with the summer suits and pants.
Cut off one-third of the price on all
the last and let them go. Unlo&d the
house of all summer goods regardless
of prices. I bought seven hundred
boys’ suits today worth from $3 to
$7 each, which will be there in about
a week. When they get there run
them at $1.65 per suit and give our
customers the benefit of the bargain.
I am getting some of the greatest
values this season you ever saw, and
we can convince any man in Hopklfia
county that the Big 4 Store’s motto,
“The Price is the Thing,” will save
them money: I bought another fine
clothing cabinet today. Have you re-
ceived Alfred Benjamin’s clothing?
How is the prospects, and have we
had rain there yet?
I will be hopie Sept. 5th. Write
me the news. Sincerely yours,
Dave Meyerson.^
