A s ever .before, is protecting the
interest of its customers in securing
low prices, if they are t* be found
on high class goods and saving
money to our customers by holding
the prices down to the very limit on
every article we offer, but prices are
to high at the very best.
Our fall stocks are beginning to
arrive and will be complete within

do not disappoint us in transporta-
tion.
Our sales of ST AK BRAND
Shoes have steadily increased for the
last fourteen years and on Curlee
Clothing for the last ten years and
the biggest incrsase has come in the
last ten years and the biggest increase

won the democratic nomination
for governor of Texas in the run-
off primary held Saturday, over-
whelmingly defeating former
United States Senator Joseph
Weldon Bailey.
The ejection was a landslide
for Neff from the first. Taking
the lead on the early returns his
margin had grown to 75,089
votes over the former senator
Sunday morning, and as returns
continued to come in predictions
were freely made that his ma-
jority would reach 100,000 votes.
On the latest tabulation the
figures were: Neff 245,448,
Bailey 18#,«.i41.
It is difficult to predict the
total vote at this time, hut it will
probably run between 42.).(XX)
and 475,(XX), or approximately as
large ¡us the first primary when
the total vote for governor was
ii round numbers 450,000. lhe
estimate is that there are about
1,««),(XX) qualified voters in
Texas.
In the race for lieutenant gov-
ernor the vote up-to-date stands

The result in Burleson county
showed that Neff carried the
county by about ¡1 to 1.
In the precinct officers run off,
the following was the result:
Precinct 1, Caldwell-Deanville,
Kagsdale defeated Struwe by
about ll- votes
In pre •♦net No -1, Cooke*

MeCaslnnd by about fi* votes.
In precinct No. 4, Lyons-
Somerville, Kd. MatejowSky de-
feated R. H. Flanagan with a
majority of about 45 votes.
Hon .1 W. Bailey has issued a
statement bowing to the will of
the majority and saying that he
made his tight for what he be
lieved to be pure democracy, but
t'ne democrats of Texas have
spoken and he is through.

The Nations Strength
Emerson says: "The strength of a nation is
not in the number of its battleships, nor in the
number of its forts, but in the intelligence, thrift
and industry of its citizens.*'
Its true, too. America today has the intelli-
gence and the industry. Will she also add the
thrift? A good deal depends upon you. Are you
saving money? Are you in the thrifty class? An
account with this bank will not only add to the
Nation's strength, but will also strengthen You.

to compel a general clean up and
It should be enforced, and will
be upon the arrival of the repre

Ladies' Ready-to-Wear Now
Being Exhibited at
Our Store
While we have already received quite a good
many ol our new fall hat , vet our shipments are
not all in by a good deal, and we 'will be receiving
new hats right along for sometime, irom New York,
Chicago and St. Louis.
We are still featuring the "Fisk" and "ELZEE"
lines ol pattern hats, and these oid well established
lines need no comment from us but in addition to
these lines we have added two new lines which we
believe are going to make quite a hit with the ladies,
on account ol the popular prices. These lines are
the "Lady Duff" at $4.75, and the ''Paige" at
57.75, and both are New York pioductions, and
every hat is made of silk velvet, and the most of
them of the Lyons velvet quality, which has been
prohibited in hats at these prices, on account of the
high cost, tor sometime. Come ir; and see the hats,
they will speak for themselves.
We are receiving almost daily, yes almost every
train, new things iu ladies ready-to-wear, New
coat suits, new coats, new skirts, new waists, new
sweaters, new petticoats, etc.
We do not have to tell you that our prices are the
best to be had anywhere in the state, if you are a
regular customei ot this store, as that goes with-
out saying with those who are posted.
