WHERE CAN PEOPLE BUY CHEAPEST?
This is a difficult question to solve unless you gb about it in the right way. To read the advertisements is rather confusing, for each
Merchant claims he sells cheaper than the other. In our opinion the best way to find out is to compare values. Low prices not backed
up by quality, are apt to prove high prices, and good quality also means high prices at some stores. If you find, a store that sells relia-
ble goods at small profits that's the store which will give you best value. You can only find out by looking. If you do look the chances
are that you will buy at this store for there is every reason why you should. Here are some Low Prices for May. We offer for this
month, all of our $1.75 ladies wrappers at $1.40; all of our $1.50 ladies wrappers at $1.15; all of our $1.35 ladies wrappers at $1; all of our
$1.25 ladies wrappers at 95c; all of our ready made denims skirts neatly trimmed, former price $1.25 for $1; all sizes in ladies sleeveless
vests at 25, 15, 10 and 5c; full line ladies umbrellas and parasoss at prices from 50c to $4; one line dongola button patent tip shoes re-
duced from $1.25 to $1. We sell Scriven's patent elastic seam drawers at 75c pair. One lot men's drawers at 15c pair. We sell the
best under shirt for 25c ever sold in this market, to be convinced come and see them. See us for grain bags, wool sacks, wagon sheets,
and binding twine. We have spent a good deal of time as well as money this Spring rearranging our store, making more room which
enables us to better handle our business for 1899 which promises to be a big one.
Value is the true test of Cheapness.

A Sad Joke.
There are many jokes which cause
more sorrow than joy ; and some of
them are followed by shame rogret
and life-long remorse. The San
Antonio Express gives an instance of
a practical jeke played upon a pupil
in the high school. Her friends so,
licited ner to be a candidate for their
votes as "Queen of tho May." She
yielded to their solicitations. Her
mates promised to vote for her, even
writing her name on slips of paper
and showing them to her, until the
ambitious child's hopes were raised to
the highest pitch. When the hour for
counting votes arrived it showed only
one vote for her. The poor child
laid her head on her desk and cried
bitterly. She went home and was
taken ill. The illness soon developed
into brain fever. Through all her
sickness her heated brain constantly
turned on the cruel joke. Ia a few
days she died. We ask tho young
readers to romomber this "sad joke,"
It is never smart or funny to say or
do anything that may wound another.
Politicians, nowspapers, platforms,
rich and poor individuals, all howl
trusts! trusts! trusts! It seems that
most everyone knows that trusts and
combines are gradually "pressing
down this orown of thorns upon the
brow of the laborer," but few are
willing to bond their best energies to
unhasp the yoke. Gigantic corporat-
ions are not caring how many theor-
ies are advanced, but will continue,
to combine, unless the people vote
and act more and talk less. A casual
observer can see that at the present
rate money holders are combining and
trusts are being formed, it will not be
long before the poor man's chances
for a toe-hold will be slim indeed.
We have only commendation for a
man who honestly accumulates, and
thousands there are, but the fact
should not be forgotten that under-
neath the shabby coat of the poor
laborer there thrills and pulsates
ambitions and aspirations for him-
self and wife and babes, and tho future
is indeed dark and obscured for him
who sees nothing but serfdom for
himself and posterity.—Van Alstyno
News.
accordingly, the better it will be for
thorn in the future—Dodd City
News. We see where you are right,
Bro.
Tho News made quito an improve-
ment in it3 office last week. We
washed our press rollers and hung up
a clean towel.
Tho prosperity of a community
depends not so much upon the wealth
it represents as it does upon tho man-
ner in which its peoplo pull together.
See the point?—Dodd City News.
We are not blind.
Mrs. Edgar of Weatherford, sister
of Mrs. N. II. Burns, left for her
home Monday, after a few day's visit
here.
K. D. Webb says ho has succeeded
in killing 95 per cent of the prairie
dogt, on the land that he has gone
orer. His method seems to bo a good
one and he is satisfied that he can
successfully exterminate a whole
town on the second round. This
seems to us like good work, and does
not look as though tho prairie dog
pest is such a mountain as was viewed
by some peoplo. A little energy
along with common sense will accom-
plish a whole lot in any undertaking.
The Ladomia News has discarded
the patent side and now comes out a
neat home-print paper, says the Loon
ard Graphic. '.Tho patent side is but
a makeshift at tho best, and even a
smaller paper printed at home is bet-
ter, and tho people appreciate tho
enterprise displayed by the publisher.
The above is as true as gospel and
the sooner the country papers convin-
ce themselves of the fact and act
J. II. Moore acted in the capacity
of balif for the Grand Jury this week.
Evan Easter was in from Newcomb
Monday, Ho came in to attend Dis-
trict court but was excused. While
here he made tho News a call, and
informed us that splendid rains had
fallon in his neighborhood, and that
vegetation was growing very rapidly.
He says that he is farming more ex-
tensively than ever before, and will
hereafter make arrangements to feed
everything at home, and «ot try to
market forage or feed stuff, but will
have fat stock at all times.
On account of tho meeting of the
Texas State Dental and Pharmaceuti-
cal Association at Waco, Texas, Tho
Texas Central Railroad Company will
sell round trip tickets at rate of $5.00.
Tickets on sale May 15th and ICth
1898. Limited to May 19th, 1892
for return.
Newspaper work is not learned nl
a day. You might be the finest
orator on earth, yet not competent
to edit a newspaper. You might be a
jurist of rare ability, and still couldn't
tell tho difference between the shoot-
ing stick and tho hr' 6x. News-
paper work is not like a cotton patch,
where anybody who is physically able
can make a srood hand. Theie has
been many a line sawbuck artist
spoiled in trying to make a newspaper-
man.—Austin Tribune.
