My Goods are Bought to Sell
In a town where there is close competition; therefore the selection
is rijr’.t, the quality right, the variety right, and the price right to make
them move off easily and rapidly to make room for the new goods con-
stantly arriving to keep the shelves full. Othe, merchants come and go
but Bolton stays right there year after year, doing a steadily increasing
business, which shows that he is liberal and square with his patrons.

The farmers of the United States have
long needed a good work on swine, a
practical, concise and common-sense
book without any padding or humbug
about it. They liavi it in the form of
No. 5 of the Higgle Books called higgle
Swine Book. It is profusely illusna'td
with photographs direct from life of the
different breeds of hogs, etc., etc.
Much attention is given to western and
eastern practices, in the disease ol hogs,
especially to cholera, to feeding, breed-
ing, butchering and the carving ol meats
for home use and market. There are
144 pages printed on the best paper and
bound handsomely in < loth. Some
breeders have thought it was not possi-
ble to make a good photograph of a hog,
but the score or more of handsome en-
gravings made directly from photo-
graphs will go far to dispel the illu .ion.
All the leading breeds are shown and
briefly discussed 111 the text. See an-

The schooner Empress, of Trespa-
lioios, was in port taking on a cargo
of merchandise on Monday. Dur-
ing the past few years 'I'rnpalncion
has grown much in importance and
in cnnseqtieno figures large'y in our
trade territory.

er Jerome Kearby left on Tuesday

Lavaca will he put in direct touch

On Stindy last
tween e ght and nine acres of cab-
bage which promise to b.tng fair
returns, provided we have no kill-
ing frosts. Mr. Pitman’s brothers,
who were here from north Texas a
few weeks ago, offered him 1 cent
a pound for cabbage f. o. I>, here.
This is a better price than the com-
mission dealers generally pay. A
number of other farmers in this
country have planted good-*iz<-d
cabbage patches,
Port Lavaca has among its list ol
growing industries one that attract*
little notice but is nevertheless im
portant in its way. This is the rub-
ber clothing factory conducted by
Geo. Clair, a Greek, whose place ol
business is on Commerce street.
Here Mr. Clair and his family have
been diligently at work the past s> v
eral months making slicker suits for
sailors. The fishermen say that the
rainproof clothing made at this fac
tory is far superior t > any they can
obtiin from even tbe largest manu-
factories in the cities, and the cow-
boys are equally well pleased with
these home-made slickers. I’he
superiority of these suits con*ist* no-,
only in the making, but Mr. Clair
has a secret process of applying,lie
rubber to the cloth, which is better
and gives longer service than ant-
other. Some of the large slicker
makers have offered Mr. Clair a
handsome price >or bis secret process,
but he prefers to keep it f ir his own
use, and will probably build up an
extensive business here.
