OUR LOHETA STORE.
PREMIUMS FOR EXHIBITS.
To Our Friends and Cus-
tomers:
The firm of LITTLE &.
SONS has taken a long lease
on a building in Lometa and
expects to locate a store
there.
We have been in Gold-
thwaite 12 years and also in
Hamilton, Texas, 2 years,and
we have made good at both
places. We go to Lometa
with the same expectations.
We expect to SELL STRICT-
LY FOR CASH and to have
One Price and treat every-
one just" the same in every
transaction. We have made
this a rule and we( think it
pays, and we always try to
do our part in everything
that comes up. In fact, we
will treat you right if you
will let us.
We have two large Dry
Goods houses and will have
the third one when we get in
at Lometa. We visit St.
Louis and New York twice a
year and buy our goods a
great deal cheaper by buying
them in quantities. We stay
several weeks in New York
and thus get bargains that
other buyers never see. If
you will visit our stores at
the beginning of the season,
you can readily see why we
can make it pay by buying
in quantities and making
prices that will get the busi-
ness.
We invite everyone to keep
the LITTLE firm in mind,
for they make “Little”prices
and there is nothing too
“Little” in the way of a
mistake that might occur
that we are not glad to
correct. So don’t forget the
LITTLE firm—first at Gold-
thwaite, later at Hamilton,
Texas, and now at Lometa,
where we shall carry as large
a stock as the town will
justify—and that will be a
large one. We expect to get
opened up ready for business
by the first of September.
LITTLE & SONS.

BLAME THE MAYOR.
If your hens refuse to lay,
Blame the mayor!
If you fail to draw your pay,
Blame the mayor!
If your false teeth break in two,
And your food you can not chew,
Blame the mayor!
If the street is never paved,
Blame the mayor!
If your soul is never saved,
Blame the mayor!
If your collar’s torn and split,
And up your sleeve there is a slit,
Blame the mayor!
If* the water mains run dry,
Blame the mayor!
If someone blacks your eye,
Blame the mayor!
If your sewer is not laid,
And your taxes are not paid,
Blame the mayor!
If the weeds grow on your lawn,
Blame the mayor!
If the summer’s cash is gone,
Blame the mayor!
If you have no overcoat,
And Old Winter’s got your goat,
Blame the mayor!
If no coal is in your box,
Blame the mayor!
If your kids catch chicken-pox,
Blame the mayor!
If your Jersey cow drys up,
And you loose your pointer pup,
Blame the mayor!

counties and organize a district as-
sociation. The meeting was held at
the Lunsford bridge on the river
and the families of the carriers ac-
companied them and made a picnic
