Success is the Onlij Final Test of Superior Quality.
Qii article with little merit may succeed for a time, hut not for a long time. The tact that Ahncv, Price A Bell are doing business on a Cash basis,
buying and selling for the Almighty Dollar, place them in a position to handle all Merchandise at an advantage: and the further that all
articles sold by this linn, prove to be as represented, has gained for us a reputation for honest and square dealing, which, we arc proud to say, brought to
our establishment a patronage second to none. We do not hesitate to
Boast of Our* Stock of pall and Winter Goods,
Which were bought as heretofore, for the Cash, and will be sold accordingly, at a living profit. We can't sell at cost, and exist. Neither can any other
firm. But for the money, we can give the patron one hundred cents in Merchandise for every dollar spent with us. We are reaching out after trade, and
having adopted a Strict CjlsIi Business from the beginning, and extending
Eoi'al Courtesies to ONE and ALL and Special Privileges to NONE,
We can, will and do give the consumer the advantage of the many bad accounts carried by an establishment conducting a crcd
Give the firm of Abney, Price & Bell a trial purchase, buy from us for the C;ish, and our word for it, it will be a money saving
red it or long-tiine-pav-business
investment.
OTJR STAPLE ^UsTUD FANCY GROCERIES
Are fresh and unadulterated, and we don't mind telling you how we established our claim as the largest sellers of Staple and Kaney Groceries in
this section. We commenced to sell reliable Groceries at prices that has never been heard ot betore. I lie public soon realized what a trade bonanza
it had at its door, and were not slow to grasp the situation. To-day not only the people ot Bastrop, but those in theradias of many miles, know of the
superior selling facilities of the fresh and pure Groceries sold by Abney, Price A' Bell, and are trading ;it our store w-itii unstinted liberality. The immense
volume of business justifies the low price at which our superior Groceries are being sold. We'd b? pleased to number you among the beneficiaries
of fresh and unadulterated Staple and Fancy Groceries.
THERE MAY BE NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN, BUT PEOPLE ALWAYS LOOK FOR IT.
And they come nearer finding something new in our store than anywhere they look. They not only lind new things, but find everything fresh.
We do not allow goods to get rusty on our shelves. If certain goods don't move fast enough, we put them at a price that will move them. We
feci justified in saying that we can save you modey on your bill any time. It is our aim to sell you goods for a little less money than you can buy them
elsewhere. Come and see ue, and we will do our best to please you in quality and price.
ABNEY, PRICE & BELL.

—We hear of a very sudden death
whicli occurred in Hill's Prairie, 1" ri-
dvy night of last week. I)ora, tiie
10-year old daughter of Alf (iri'Iin,
colored, after picking cotton all day,
eat supper and retired to bed, seem-
ingly in her usual good health. Dur-
ing the night she woke up und com-
plained of being sick. The mother
and child stepped out of the house
into the yard, when the child sud-
denly fell, and was dead by the time
she struck the ground.
—quite a stir in town Sunday
owing to a false report that there
was a case of small pox in town,
liettie Moore, colored, who lives in
a cabin on Judge l)ver Moore's lot,
was suffering from tonsolitis or
severe soie throat, when colored
people reported it small pox. Mar-
shal Nash, daubting the small pox
rumor, went down In person to in-
vestigate, and at once pronounced
the report without foundation. 'J'ho
woraou i now up and doing her
usual work.
The Ladies Heading Circle is en-
tering upon its third year's work with
an enthusiastic pleasure that promises
well for the results. The first meet-
ing was well attended, and after the
vacation so variously spent by the
different members it was indeed
pleasant to meet again and fall in
line for another term of study, and
intellectual advancement.
After a beautiful song, entitled
"That's w here my thoughts are to-
night." by Mrs. W. A. McCord, the
hour was devoted to discussion of the
program for the year on which the
Circle is entering, most of w hich pro-
gram has already been arranged by
t':e committee. When the hour for
adjournment drew near the members
were invited into the dining room
where delicious refreshments of
wafers and lemonade were served,
while genial conversation flowed on
with the fleeting moments and Mid.
II. I). Orgain, the president, as host-
ess, emphasized a fact often proved
in the past that her sphere of action
is not limited to literary circles.
The second meeting was last Satur-
day, and although the furious sand-
storm interfered with tiie attendance
of some, still a quorum was present,
and the afternoon much enjoyed.
The History Lesson skillfully con-
ducted by Mrs. S. J. Orgain, brought
out the important and interesting
features of the chapter on " I he New
Learning," and the members wand-
ered with Thomas Moore into "The
Land of Nowhere," or Utopia, man-
aging however to get back to their
respective homes before sundown.
—The ladles of Hill's l'rairie, will
give a cake and ice cream spread at
the residence of Dr. and Mrs. A. M.
Hill, next Tuesday night, Sept. 1 Oth,
and would lie pleased to have their
Itaatrop friends favor them with at-
tendance. The ladies of the "l'rairie"
know how to make one feel at home,
and all who attend may confidently
expect a good time.

THE 8AYERS RIFLES.
In response to the call of Captain
Jones, of the Say era Kitles, a large
number were present at the meeting
held at the court house Tuesday
night last.
The result of the •::':«> ing was
a howling success, and it is now a'
settled fact that the town of Hastrop
can boast of a Military company for j
the next three years anyhow, and
judging fruin the eagerness of those •
present to take the oath and sign
their name on the muster roll, it
would appear they would juntas
soon taken the oath and serve for
twice three years and longer, if nec-
essary.
After the name of all present, who
come with the intention of becoming
a member, had feigned their name to
that effect, they were then ordered
to line up and take the oath, which
was administered by County Judge
J. H. l'rice. This being accomplish-
ed the measurement for uniforms and
hats were taken, over which W. I).
Cope ofllciated.
At the meeting only about twenty-
live took the oath, anil on Wednes-
day and Thursday the remaining
number required were secured by
Captain Jones and Lieutennnt Jen-
kins, the oath being administered by
the lieutenant as soon as the consent
was given.
Through the kindness of Judge
Price a room on the third floor of the
court house was secured for which
to keep all uniforms and guns, a gun
rack will be built and placed in this
apartment also. The large >ard
around the court house will be used
for drilling, it will be cleaned off and
put in first class order for this pur-
|H)se, aud to this end several electric
lights will be placed over the grounds,
as most of the drilling, in the waj of
practice, will be done at night.
Lieutenants Jenkins and Mi ley and
Sargeant Herrian, were appointed to ^
draft by-laws to be observed by the
company. 1 hey will be read at the
next meeting. Thos. H. I'arks was.
elected secretary and treasury of the I
company. No other business com-
ing up the meeting adjourned siw '
die.
