TO THOSE OF YOU WHO DO AND TO OTHERS WHO SHOULD TAKE
A PRIDE IN YOUR HOME, YOUR TOWN AND COMMUNITY:
If yon are a home owner or if you are not. you feel a deep interest and
pride in your various churches, in your splendid schools and in your good
friends and noivhboi . You—iho most of you—are helping to organize
and maintain a busin ss league. What is this effort and exp- nse for if it
is not to assist in budding up and keeping together the interest of your-
selves. your friends, y >ur town and your community?. Now isn't this—
with general conditi as they art a duty that you canrot afford to
shirk—but.are rather proud to assist in?
Sometimes, however, often perhaps, you forget that the m rehants and
business men of your community are a greatly needed factor in upbuild-
ing and maintaining any community. Their aid and influential support
are needed and depended upon for dinost every undertaking or charity
that presents itself—and these men respond freely and liberally, always
putting up for the common good. Most of you appreciate tiiis fact, but
smu - ci' you li.iv not givt n it thought, and have, therefore, not given your
home rv'rchanls lb<- go >y will and substantial support they need ami de-
serve and must, through necessity, have to render you better service. Some-
times you do your trading in the largi r towns end cities and ven the cat-
alogue houses get some orders from you—and as often disappointment is
your part of the transaction. Now isn't it much more pleasant and profit-
able to let your home merchant have this business when he can supply
your wants and in most cases he can. You know your merchant and he
knows you. Therefore, your interest and his are mutual. He under-
stands you and studies to please you and not for the one transaction only.
And when your purchases are made after deliberation with the aid of your
home merchant and his assistants in your interest, as wi ll as his, you
know exactly what you have and the price you have paid and any mistake
can be quickly and easily corrected.
Il is a well-known fact that the larger the city or town the greater the
expense the retailer or distributor i put to sell his merchandise—with the
consequent higher prices that h > is compelled to charge in comparison
with the smaller towns. And thi. appli- s < ,specially to the dry goods bus-
iness and kindred lines. Is it no then, if only the business end of the
proposition is considered, good busines to slay with your home merchant.
As dry goods distributors, we carry first-class merchandise, all marked
in plain figures—that all can understand. We try to follow the market
downward, when it is going down, and do not mark values up w hen values
are tending upward, as it is at this time. We give you the best prices
possible and always values. It is our desire and we strive to give the
best service we can command. This you deserve and must have. If you
fail to get this, let us know. We want your business, we n< - d it, ar I if
we haven't it already, we will graciously thank you to tell us why.
We know we can please. Keep your dolars with home-folks.

E. W. Turner, of Turner A Briscoe,
rice farmers, stated to Th-- Tribune
this morning that his apprehension
for tlte safety of the big rlee crop al
Collegeport is about over.
"We are now getting a satisfactor)
flow of water and are using every
gallon of it to the best advantage. 1
now feel confident that we will pull
tlte crop through."
"We have." he continued, ’nine
binders at work cutting tin- older rice
and the work on the warehouse i
progressing rapidly."
Turner & Briscoe have 7.000 acres
in rice at Collegeport, 3,000 acres o
which is safe and now being harvest-
ed. The chief concern after the
scarcity of water set in. has been for
the 1,00 Oacres, but now that the crop
is getting at least 50.000 gallons a
minute, witli an early premise of
more, it is a safe forecast to say the
crop will be saved.

bales of strict good middling cotton
were sold by I. I). Mayberry to the
Border Gin, one for 17 cents and the
other at 16 1-2 cents.
This is the highest priced cotton
that has been sold in the valley this
season, and although tin- classifica-

both were carefully picked clean cot-

Murray, state gin inspec-
tor, is in Buy i iiy looking over the
gin plants for the purpose of seeing
that everything is in good shape.
To the Tribune he expressed con-
siderable surprise in running
across" such a town as he found here
and unhesitatingly told ns that Bay
City is by far the best town tn the
Coast Country with the possible ex-
ception of Corpus Christi. He
very favorably impressed with
way Bay City is laid out and
broad streets.
' But," said Mr. Muriuy, "the great-
est surprise 1 found was tlte Rugele)
gin plant, which I consider llrsl-cluss
in every particular and ns good and
as complete as cun be found in Texas.
In fact, the Rugeley plant has but few
equals in the state and not a one any
better that I know of It is the clean-
est and best arranged gin plant I have
ever seen and such a report will be
sent to tlie department."
Mr. Murray will spend today

In a letter to Senator Sheppard. D

says that Its proposals would bring
a strong protest.

Senator Sheppard "I have recently I
had here a very reliable banker from -
