Therein no virtue in rain boasting. It profits a man nothing to declaim loudly concerning the things
which he has not and th« merits of those things which he has if the same shall be worthless. The public may
be temporarily deceived and humbugged by the itinerant sharper, but a reputable merchant cannot afford to
Practice deception upon the public with which he is identified, the patrons upon whom he relies for his support,
t would therefore be the height of folly for an established house t) make fa'se representations with intent to
deceive. .When we advertised wraps and cloaks at 50 per cent, discount from the regular market price, that
is fifty per cent, cheaper than they could be purchased elsewhere, the people believed us because they knew
that whatever I^ewin Bros. & Co. advertised could be relied upon and the result has been a heavy run upon
that department of our establishment, and immense sales of wraps and cloaks of all sorts. Our stock, how-
[vevejf, was enormous and we still have plenty left which we are offering at the same discount from the regular
market price, 50 per cent. If our word is not sufficient you have only to see to be convinced.
We desire to call special attention to our dress goods and dressmaking pepartments. The ladies of
Gainesville and of all the country adjacent who have patronized these departments of our establishment will
bear us out in the statement that tne most perfect satisfaction has been guaranteed. The most convincing
evidence of tne truth of this statement is to be seen in the growing popularity of our dressmaking department
and the testimonials of our patrons.
In novelties we lead all competitors. No other house can approach us 1 this line.

P. S.—Gentlemen will find our stock of gents' clothing and furnishing goods the largest and most com-
plete to be found anywhere in the city. Give us a call. LEWIN BROS. & CO.

Notwithstanding the great
amount of mud and slop that has
greeted us in Gainesville for the
past three days, on'y sixty-six-
one-hundredths of an inch of
water has fallen here during that
time.
Steps must be taken to increase
the retail fall trade in this city, or
else a large number of our retail
merchants will undoubtedly ex-
perience some very trying times
much earlier than might be an-
ticipated.
The passenger train due in
Gainesville at 2:30 p. m. was some
ten hours late yesterday, the de-
lay being caused by the baggage
car jumping the track near Mc-
Gregor station on the south divis-
ion of the Santa Fe.

Capt. Schopmeyer says he
heard of numbers of individuals
in Kentucky, while he was there
last week who had lost everything
they owned in betting on the elec-
tion. Among these were men who
were quite wealthy before the 6th
of November, but are now penni-
less.
Cnpt. Schopmeyer says that he
paid particular attention to the
growing wheat along the line
which he traveled last week while
en-route from Ashland, Ky., to
Gainesville, and that everywhere
he found that crop to be in an ex-
cellent condition and in abundant
quantities.
A large dog belonging to R. C.
Johnson of East Gainesville, sup-
posed to have the rabies, has been
enclosed in a cage by Mr. Johnson
in order to keep the animal from
doing any barm and at the same
time allow the observers to behold
the strange freaks of the dog while
undergoing spasmodic attacks of
hydrophobia.
These chilly rains will prove
quite severe on live stock exposed
to them. Farmers should build
sheds and places of shelter for
their cattle and horses if they ex-
pect them to get through the win-
ter safely and at a big saving of
expense in the way of lessening

A prominent merchant of this
city put an advertisement in Sun-
day morning's Hesperian and he
says that on Monday a goodly
number of country people called
at his store and asked for the
goods he had advertised the day

of these customers live as far
out as Woodbine.

What Gainesville desires most vegetables. There were apples of
just now is a definite settlemet ot
the trouble between the rival com-
panies contending for the Ard-
more coal fields and a rapid de-
velopment of an abundance of
coal said to be in the mines in-
cluded in that territory. Liqui-
date your controversy, gentlemen,
and bring on your dusky dia-
monds.
A Chocktaw Indian in from the
Chickasaw nation got full of fire-
water last night aud undertook to
dress the town up in warpaint,
when he was checked in his hos-
tile career by the police officers
and placed in the calaboose. As
the two police officers who had
him in charge were carrying him
to the cooler, he yelled out to
persons meeting them on the
street: "Clear the way and give
these three gentlemen room to
pass by."
Farmers complain of trusts and
monopolies but, Lord bless you!
there are no worse monopolists in
the country than farmers when
they have half a chance. The waj.
they are cornering on wood these
days is enough to make Jay Gould
green with envy. The calm d—n
you take it or leave it alone man-
ner in which they ask three dol
lars for about ten or a dozen sticks
of wood, the under sticks general-
ly rotten, is enough to bring con-
fusion to the cheek of a mule.
The ladies of the First Presby-
terian church will have a lunch
next Tuesday and Wednesday
nights the 27th and 28th. Con-
nected with the lunch will be the
tables of fancy articles suitable
for Christmas presents. Each ar-
ticle will be marked in plain fig-
ures so that everyone may see for
themselves the price without the
trouble of asking. As these lad-
ies seldom call upon the commun-
ity for assistance we bespeak for
them & liberal patronage. This
fair will be held in the Hemming
building, northwest corner public
square.
Capt. H. E. Schopmsyer re-
turned Saturday evening from
Ashland, Ky., for which place he
left here on the morning of the
7th inst, to accompany the remains
of his nephew,H. E. Hyman, the
young man who fell from a bicycle
on Dixon street tbe morning of
the 6th, killing himself almost
instantly. The captain says the
entire city where the unfortunate
young^man had^resided previous to
his coming to Texas, was oast in
gloom, in fact no death had oc-
curred for years that caused so
much publio sympathy by the peo-
ple of Ashland, a^Ute pad, Remise

every Kind andeiee, oranges, lem-
ons, and grapes. There were
boxes of dates, prunes, figs. Long
rows of uabbage, turnips, potatoes,
beets, radishes and oixionB were
arranged tastefully along the
shelves on the outside and here
and there were large buncbeB of
celery which gave a crowning ef-
fect to the whole display. The
show windows were filled with fine
canned and bottled goods of the
rarest imported brands.
"Come in, gentlemen. I am
busy now, but I will wait on you
directly," said Tom Williams.
And he was busy. The house was
filled with customer-*, the greater
half ladieB. Four clerks were
waiting on them. They bought
quickly, departed, and other cus
tomers came in.
"He enjoys a good trode, don't
be?" remarked the gentleman
with the reporter. "Yes, he en-
joys a good trade. But look, he
keeps everything." Great sacks
of almonds, pecans, English wal
nuts and half dozen other kinds of
nuts were stacked up ready to ^be
sampled. A small boy standing
by did sample them. But what is
the UBe in trying to name them.
You could see apricote, citrons,
egg plants, evaporated peaches,
pie plants, barrels of grapes im-
ported irom Spain, pailed macker-
el and cod-fish. You look around
you and bright, fresh eatable
goods meet your eye everywhere.

lasses, maple eymp,aqd honey.

cery line you do .not Jceep, Mr.
Williams?" .."Not if j, ,know it.
If there is £gything, th%t my cus-
tomers wapt no.mMtor how oostly
or rare, I get it."
As was said before, Mr. Wil-
liams has a eood trade and he de-
serves it i<. He is a man of
thorough business qualities. He
has been raised here. The peo-
ple have known him .from child-
hood and have confidence in him.
He not only keeps what the trade
wants, but he sells it cheap, gives
full measure and honest weight.
He is selfi-made and has blilt up
a prosperous ^usins^s purely on
merit.
