My Goods are Bought to Sell
In a town where there is close competition; therefore the selection
is right, 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. Othei 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.

and with Matagorda bay via Caney creek
on the west by dredging the inside chan-
nels four feet deep and loo feet wide.
This plan is deemed worthy.
The entire system of inland draft nav-
igation of which San Bernard river will
be a part can be achieved at a total cost
of $450,000, including the purchase of
the Galveston and Biazos canal. The
total improvement can be obtained to
better advantage in a lump contract
than by singling out the projects. The
system as a whole is recommended.
Mr. Hawley will prepare a bill based
on Captain Riche’s reports appropriat-
ing $450,000 for the entire system, ai d
he will do all in his power to have the
work provided for in the nex rivers and
harbors bill.
From the foregoing it will be seen
that Capt. Riche estimates the cost of
constructing the coast canal and Improv-
ing the streams from Galveston bay to
Matagorda Bay at $450,000. In like
manner the cost of connecting Sabine
Lake and Galveston Bay is estimated to
be $240,000, and the cos' af connecting
Matagorda bay and the mouth of the
Rio Grande river is estimated al $600,-
000.
Thus, for $1,290,000 all ti e streams
from Sabine lake to the mouth of the
Rio Grande can be improved, and a ca-
nal too feel wide and 4 feet deep can
be constructed along the whole coast of

—Constable Wtlhe Pearson, of Pledg-
er, brought in John White, whose com-
plexion is black, anil lodged him in jail
Thursday. John is in trouble up to hia
chin, having been convicted in Justice
G. R. Brown’s court of disturbing the
peace, and as the jury assessed his punish
ment at a fine of $100, and the costs
were $23.95 more, John must have dis-
turbed all the peace in his precinct. By
the time be worksout $1 23.95 at 5° c<mis
a day we hope that John will be bo.h a
wiser and a better man. We learn that
John was convicted Tuesday, slipped off
the chain which was fastened around his
waist luesday inght and escaped and
after an all-day chase was re-captured
early Wednesday night and was then
chained by the neck till next morning,
from all of which circumstances it is in-
terred that John's guard should have an
alert eye and a ready gun.

Comes from Dr. D. B. Cargilc, of
Washita, I. T. He writes: ‘-Four bottles
of Electric Bitters has cured Mrs. Brewer
of scrofula, which had caused her great
suffering for years. Terrible sores would
break out on her head and face, and the
best doctors could give no help; but her
cure is complete and her health is excel-
lent.-' This shows what thousands have
proved,—that Electric Bitters is the best
blood purifier known. It’s the supreme
remedy for eczema, tetter, salt rheum,
ulcers, boils and running sores. It stim-
ulates liver, kidney and bowels, expels
poison, helps digestion, builds up the
strength. Only 50 cents. Sold by Boul-

—The wild geese are coming from
the bay out to the adjacent prairies to
graze on the tender young glass, and
parlies at Matagorda told us that a him
ter who takes a good position about
sundown by any of the shallow ponds
in which they roost, can I avc plenty of
sport shooting them on the wing as they
fly over him, as they fly low at such
times. Or if he is a pot hunter and
wants to get a large number, he can
wait till enough have come in to cover
the pond, and then rake their heads
with a heavy charge from both barrels.
A pair of rubber boots enables one to
wade a II over these ponds to recover the
game killed.

The improvement of Chocolate bayou
can be effected by dredging a four loot
channel too feel wide from west Gal-
veston bay across Chocolate bay to lour
feet of water in the bayou, The im-
provement is recommended.
I'he improvement of Clear creek can
be effected by dredging a channel four
icet deep and fifty feet wide across the
bar at the mouth of the creek tn Gal-
veston bay and continuing same across
Clear creek to four feet of water in the
creek above; Cost, $to,ooo. Improve-
ment recommended.
The improvement of the mouth of
Oyster creek to create a channel availa-
ble for vessels drawing about lour feet
of water can be --ffccted by the construc-
tion of two parallel jetties, assisted by
some dredging, at a cost of $290,000.
Such improvement would necessitate
the closing of the Galveston and Brazos
canal on each side of Oyster creek, and
would be of small commercial utility as
compared with an improvement which
would give a light dralt sheltered chan-
nel between Oyster creek ;At.l Galveston
Eay on one side and Biazos river on
the other. The plan Captain Riche pro-
poses is to clean out and enlarge the
Galveston and Brazos canal to a depth
01 four feet and too feet wide, to dredge
a four foot channel to be carried above
the canal, and to remove overhanging
timber; cost, $65,000. This would in-
volve the purchase of the canal at an
additional cost of$5o,ooo. I’he improve-
ment is deemed important and worthy.

improvement.
With >egard to Caney creek, Captain
Riche reports that there is ample depth
above the mouth of the creek, but the
mouth is obstructed by a bar or shoal

The improvement can be effected by

-This sum is a mere bagatelle for Un
de Sam, who is accustomed to spending
six to ten times as much on a single har-
bor, having spent over fix millions at
Galveston alone.
The construction of such a canal
would give the Texas coast country a
direct barge hau* from all points .on the
Mississippi river and its 57 tributaries,
and by means of the new Chicago drain-
age canal, from every point on the Great
Iztkes. The old town of Matagorda,
hav.i.g direct water connection with
such points as St. Paul, Minneapolis,
Chicago. St. Louis, Kansas City, Pitts-
burgh) Cincinnati, etc, etc., wou’d again
become a lively and important trading
point, and the strip of cattle pasturage
lining the Texas coast for 30 miles in-
lirnd, having the cheapest transportation
factiities to be found anywhere, will teem
with population and industry.
The cost of this great work is - o small
in comparison with the resulting benefits,
that congress will not hesitate to under-
take it, and we confidently expect the
next rivers and harbors bill to pr< vide
for this work.
