Mr.W.T. Emony,of New York
Will be Here. Hundreds of Shoppers will be at the Emory Mill Remnant Sale.
At pa.m., Saturday, June , 1906
Mr. W. T. Emory of New York, agent for a chain of Eastern and
Southern mills, will open his well known sale with Mistrot Bros. &
Co. The crowd will nil every aisle and possible bit of standing room
in the store and eagerly buy the thousands of bargains offered at this
sale. For several days the store will be under Mr. Emory’s direction
and pile after pile of mill remnants will be on display. A Mill Rem-
nant Sale is a great event to shoppers who appreciate real bargains.
These sales have become famous throughout the Union. There is not
a large city in this country but has the Emory Mill Remnant Sale.
Mr. Emory has a large collection of photographs showing department
stores from the Atlantic to the Pacific where bis sales are held each
year, and stated that these sales, while showing some sensational ad-
vertising features, are founded on perfectly sound business principles,
and that none but Representative Houses get his sale. He also made
the following explanation of how such sales are possible:
“In the first place,” said he, “I will state that none of the textile
mills have yet discovered a plan to avoid making remnants. There has
never been a loom made yet that would invariably weave a perfect
cloth. The mill remnants come from the result of this imperfect weav-
ing. If a piece of cloth, say fifty yards, is being woven, the operator
cuts out the imperfectly woven piece and the good piece left goes to the
remnant pile, the piece being one yard, five yards or ten yards. None
of these slight flaws make any difference to the user, but it prevents
the mill or factory from filing the goods at profitable prices. The
great mass of mill remnants secured for this sale consist of new goods
direct from the looms and are offered at mill cost. None of these cloths
can be sold by the manufacturers as full pieces as they are wanting in
length.”
..GOODS WILL BE SHOWN AT THIS SALE..
For many days from the Utica Mills. Lowell Mills. Southern Mills.
Mohawk Valley Mills. Fall River Mills. North Adams Mills.
You will feel the enthusiasm in the air the minote you enter the store. Green Tickets will be every-
where, and not one but points to a bargain out of the ordinary. Whenever Mr. Emory opens his
Semi-Annual Sale of Left-Over Pieces and Lengths from the mills, he confidently expects to monop-
olize all the business in that particular way. Nothing else will satisfy him.

LaGrange, JUX.Y 5.
A freight engine was derailed in
the Katy yards Friday night. By
the next morning, however, “she”
was moving over the rails as usual.
Mrs. Frank Rosenthal contracted
a severe case of oak poisoning at
Cedar Creek last week while gather-
ing ferns. Under the attendance
of Dr. Moore she is now convales-
cent. __
Dr. Frank Kent of San Antonio,
specialist in diseases of the eye,
ear, nose and throat, will be in La-
Grange July 12 and 13. Office
with Dr. Knolle. Examination
free. _
The Journal man not being
present at the Handel Recital Fri-
day night, received a “write up”
of the affair, but it was unavoida-
ble crowded out. As it will keep,
it will be published next week.
At the barbecue at West Point
Thursday, the Seniors and Juniors
crossed bats with the West Point
clubs, both coming out victorious.
West Point has always “put it all
over” the locals in former years,
but the tables, it seems, have
turned.
While “feeding" the large job
press Friday afternoon, the editor
suffered his left hand to be caught
between the reception board and
moving jaw of the press, very for-
tunately, however, not resulting
serious. At first it seemed that a
shower of stars fell, but as no bones
were broken, the injured member
was at once attended to and the
work of printing continued.
Card of Thanks.
The thanks of the undersigned
are herewith lavishly extended to
those who supported me in the
recent contest, and the courtesies
that were shown me while laboring
to secure one of the prizes and
honors offered by the Houston
Post, are most gratefully acknowl-
edged. Words are inadequate to
fully express my appreciation, but
to one and all I beg to extend my
sincere thanks.
Jeannette C. Alexander.
A Correction
In the card of thanks published
for Dr. J. T. Carter and Wm.
Neese last week, tne compositor
erred in the name to whom thanks
were extended. Instead of Henry
Baur the name of Henry Brau
should have been inserted. This
correction is made in justice to all
concerned.
The editor and wife acknowledge
with thanks foreign “Carte Postals"
from H. C. Schuhmacber and wife,
dated at Bad Ems, where Emperor
William declared war against the
French, August Heintze dated at
Flensburg, and P. L. Artman, da-
ted at Paris, France.
Judge L. W. Moore has called a
special session of the district court
to meet on July 30th, for the pur-
pose of sentencing the negro John
Boyd who was given the death
penalty for committing Tape upon
a respectable white woman at
Schulenburg last summer.
The Casino's monthly ball last
Thursday night was highly en-
joyed by a real large crowd, and
until the small hours the dancers
kept merily on.
A Sad Death.
The citizens of our little city
were much shocked Monday morn-
ing to learn of the sad death of
Miss Elise Willrich which occured
at the residence of her brother-in-
law, George Schaefer. Miss Will-
rich was but twenty years of age,
a lady for whom every one enter-
tained a high regard and for whom
a bright future had often been pre-
dicted. She was the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Otto Willrich, born
at Bluff in December 1886, and
possessed a charming disposition,
which endeared her to all. Her
sudden demise, although not entire-
ly unexpected, was a shock to her
friends, and the sympathy of the
entire community is extended to
the surviving relatives.
On June 19th, last, she came to
LaGrange to attend the Summer
Normal, tffie attended the first
day but as she was ill remained ab-
sent the second tfay, and suffered
from swollen tonsils. Although
medical aid was solicited and lov-
ing hands administered to her
every want, the approach of death
was apparent and as the illness fin-
ally culminated in blood poison,
she passed away Monday morning
at 4 o’clock. The remains of the
beloved young lady were conveyed
to the Lewis cemetery at Cedar
and there intarred. The cortege
was very large. Peace be with
her. ____
The Colquitt club of this dty
now numbers 150. The committee
is still out soliciting names and by
□ext Saturday there will probably
be 300 names enrolled.
County court is in session since
Monday, and considerable business
has been disposed of.
