Black & Powell’s Revised Price List.
You will find by looking through this list that you have been paying from 10 to 25 per cent, more for the same articles. On this
alone we intend to build up our business If we can’t sell you goods for less money than our competitors we don’t want your trade.
We don’t claim to sell goods as cheap but cheaper than they can be bought from anyone else. Neither do we meet our competi-
tors’ prices—we let them meet ours. We make the price, we set the gait. Others try to follow, but the one price to all, small prof-
it, quick sale, hustling spot cash system is too much for them and ’tis only a matter of a very short time when they will be lost in
the deluge that is sure to come. We don’t appeal to your personal feelings when we ask for your trade. Don’t trade with us be-
cause you like us; don’t trade somewhere else because yo don’t like us, but trade with us because we give you more for your al-
mighty dollar than you can get elsewhere.

Austin Letter.
Austin, May 3.—The fight in
the house over the University
appropriation mentioned last
■week, terminated yesterday, re-
sulting in an appropriation of $35,-
000 for each year for the ensuing
two years, the vote being 54 to
52. The house had previously
voted down propositions carrying
$75,000 and. $50,000 and $25,000,
respectively. The senate has
agreed tu appropriate $75,000,
and the compromise that will be
agreed upon in the free confer-
ence committee will likely place
the amount at $50,000 or $55,000.
[The opponents of the proposition
slaim that it is unconstitution-
al to appropriate anything out of
[ie general revenue for them am-
biance of the University, and
beaten to carry the matter to
The higher courts for a decision.
The free conference committee
report on the Texas Trunk con-
solidation bill was taken up in the
louse this morning and adopted
by a vote of 62 to 18. The bill
will now be enrolled and presen-
ted to the governor, who will have
ten days in which to consider it.
All the members of the railroad
commission are favorable to the
bill, and it is thought the gover-
nor may letit pass, although there
is some uneasiness felt, he hav-
ing been so handy with his veto
ax heretofore.
^TJifikconfederate pension bill
senate, but it is supposed they ) voters of Texas pay theirpoll-tax,
will dispose of it in the next few j and that the failure of the other
days, or at least before final ad-
journment.
The bill repealing the doctors’
tax is still in statu quo. The sen-
ate has never acted on the house
amendment taking lawyers into
the bill.
A bill has finally passed chang-
ing the time of holding district
court in our judicial district. In
Cherokee county court will be,
held just two weeks later than
formerly.
The anti-trust bill has been un-
der consideration in the senate
several days, and the house will
tackle the subject Friday after-
noon. In the senate the dispo-
sition is to pass the Arkansas
bill without material amendment,
and the house will probably fol-
low7 suit, although there are two
substitute bills now pending in
that body, offered in lieu of the
orginal. The indications are that
the bill will finally pass some time
next week. In this connec-
tion it will be interesting to state
that the dispatches in this morn-
ing’s papers announce the return
to the state of Arkansas of four
fire insurance companies, and
that the people there can get all
the insurance they want.
The house is considering the
senate bill making it a felony
for railroads to give rebate to
shippers. The measure will
become a law, and it is thought
will very materially aid the
commission in enforcing its
rates and preventing unjust
discrimination in the interest
of certain favored shippers.
Every legislature has to pass
upon the question of submitting
a constitutional admendment to
the people making the payment
of poll tax a pre-requisite for vo-
ting. It requires a vote of two-
thirds of all members elected to
submit an amendment, and in
several previous legislatures this
propositi^fhas only failed for the
lack of fT very few votes, but
this time it was defeated by a
vote of 5p-4o 50. Statistics show
out two-thirds of the
one-third to pay robs the school
fund of over $150,000 annually.
There ought to be some remedy
for this.
The ex-Confederates of Texas
are holding a re-union here, and
the town has been turned over
to them. A great many of the
old veterans are in attendance.
This morning while the tw7o can-
nons in the capitol yard were
being fired in their honor, one of
the weapons was prematurely
discharged, and the negro who
was doing the ramming and
swTabing had several fingers
blown off his right hand. The
re-union will last until tomorrow
night.
Sine die adjournment looks to
be about as far away as it did
last week. Nobody knows w7hen
the solons will get through, and
I have quit guessing. McF.
Jacksonville Summer Normal.
The normal will be held in the
Alexander Institute building
June 20 to July 22, this date hav-
ing been considered the most
convenient for the majority of
those interested. State text
books w7ill be used as the basis
of examination, though others
may be used in the course of
study. Expenses for the term
will be very rersonable, the tui-
tion fee being set at $5.00 and
board may be obtained at the
nominal sum of from $8.00 to
$12.00 per month, thus admitting
of no objections along this line.
Prof. J. L. Henderson of the
public schools of Tyler is selected
as conductor and will be assisted
by Prof. Birdwell of Noonday,
Miss Seabaugh of Dallas and
Prof. L. D. Washington of this
place. With this efficient corps
of instructors, splendid location,
small expense, and other advan-
tages, it is reasonable to expect
a large attendance and profitable
results. Make it a point to at-
tend. You will be heartily wel-
comed by our Jacksonville citi-
zens and will spend a few weeks
pleasantly and profitably.
City Election Notice.
Notice is hereby given that an
election will be held in the town
of Jacksonville on the 1st Mon-
day in June, A. D. 1899, be-
tween the hours of 10 o’clock a.
m. and 5 o’clock p. in., for the
purpose of electing a mayor and
six aldermen under our present
charter, to serve for the next
two ensuing years, or until our
present charter dies, should said
charter die prior to the end of
said term.
Done by order of the council
May 3rd 1899.
S. A. Thompson, Mayor.
M. L. Earle,
Sec. pro tem.
To City Tax Payers.
The city council has learned
that the act abolishing the cor-
poration of the town of Jackson-
ville will not go into effect until 90
days after adjournment of the leg-
islature*, and all indebtedness is to
be paid by the old, or assumed
by a new corporation. In short,
we will not be permitted to die in
debt, which is right. Conse-
quently the council has decided to
J elect city officers once more un-
ifier our present city government
long enough to collect the tax
for 1899 and pay all indebted-
ness. The advalorum and poll
tax for 1899 is fully ample to
meet all indebtedness against the
town. And by the time our pres-
ent charter is dead, which will
likely be about September 1st
1899, all tax can be collected and
all indebtedness be paid.
A new corporation to take the
place ol the old is an after con-
sideration, and is for the legal
voters of the town to decide aft-
er the present one is dead.
The City Council.
In accordance with a declara-
tion made by me two years ago, I
will not be a candidate for any city
office at the coming municipal
election. M. L. Earle.
