Long circulating rumors about
the impending liquidation of the
immense general merchandise
stock of the chain of stores of A.
J. Wagner & Co., located at Bry-
an, Navasota and Mexia were
suddenly confirmed by the firm’s
positive announcement to that
effect.
The firm of A. J. Wagner &
Co. is one of the largest and best
known in central Texas, having
been established for over ten
years, and their combined stocks
are estimated to aggregate $300,-
000 worth of merchandise.
The liquidation of this merchan-
rl\ dise effects every one of their
stores, and the fact the stock
must be disposed of ’before May
first has led the firm to offer
these high grade goods at retail
public sale.
To accomplish the huge task of
disposing of the $300,000 stock in
the given length of time the con-
cern is bending all efforts and
sparing no expense to thorough-
ly advertise this event, and an
enormous crowd is expected to
attend this public sale. Vast pre-
parations are being made to ac-
commodate the expected masses,
scores of clerks having been em-
ployed and are making important
changes in the establishment to
properly meet the demand. The
entire building is closed and will
remain closed until Wednesday,
April 13th, until 9
the sale will commence.

Rich-
Nothing more interesting nor
unique in forty-two parties has
been given recently than that by
Mrs. E. H. Robinson honoring
Mrs. H. G. Alexander on Friday
afternoon. A very pleasing fea-
ture of the affair was a musical
program interspersed with read-
ings.
After the games a delicious
salad course and punch were
served, and the hostess proposed
such a pretty toast to the hon-
oree and the guests that all rose
with one accord in acknowledg-
ment. . ,
Hand-painted score cards and
excellent candies added a dainty
note to the tables, while palms
and ferns gave the rooms quite
a festive appearance.
Mrs. Robinson entertained
with such grace and charm that
everyone present will retain hap-
py memories of this delightful
event.
The honoree received a shower
of gifts. t / ^

A few good, honest Union men have been persuaded
that Dr. Cox is opposed to Unions. He is and always
has been in sympathy with the Unions, and is the poor
