OPPORTUNITY SALE!
What It Is and Why We Hold It!
Manufacturers, importers and wholesalers have been forced to advance their
prices because of the new tariff, and the retail merchant who failed to place
his orders before It went into effect must necessarily pay the higher rates
and, of course, charge more for his wares. Long before the tariff was pass-
ed our orders for fall and winter stocks had been placed. The purchases
have now all arrived and wo want to introduce to you the finest gathering
of bright wares a Gainesville store ever contained, and we'll share our fore-
sight with you by holding a sale, one that will be long remembered.
An Event Filled With Golden
Opportunities For You.
In spite of the higher prices now almost universally demanded for goods,
in spite of the fact that when present stocks are to be duplicated we must
also pay the advanced figures, we propose during this sale to
SELL AT LESS THAIS ANTI-TARIFF PRICES!

The mtn's meeting* at the Y.

a light fall in nearly every part

Woodmen were postponed from
last Sunday until next SnDday at

!<hurch. Too much can not be

institution of Missouri.
Mrs. Smith's brother, the late
Governor Charles H. Hardin, was
the endower and founder of Har-
din College at Mexico, Mo. At

ly known public man in the state.

vised the statutes of the state. He
was continuously in the state sen-
ate from 1860 to 1874, at which
latter date he was elected gover-
nor by 43,000 democratic ma-
jority.

his ability as an orator and lec

"I am glad the people of Gaines
villo will bave an opportunity to
hear Rev. S. A. Steel, D. D. I
was a-sociated with him in Mem-
phis for several y«ars, when he
was pastor of the first M. E
church south. He is a man of
wonderful oratorical power, and
gifted with a vivid imagination,
and possesses in a marked degree
wonderful descriptive powers—in
a word, it will ne a treat to bear
him. H. A. Jones."
"No public speaker has everim
pressed me as Dr. Steel. He is
earnest, forcible and magnetic.
W. H. Kay."
"It gives me pleasure to know
that Dr. Steel will come to
Gainesville. He has ability and
merit as a lecturer, evidencing
in his oratory the Southern "fire"
which stirs the heart.
M. F. Dunn,
Sec'y Y. M. C. A."
"As a lccturer I have never
heard his superior.
W. A. Stuckey."
"He is a 'dandy.'
R. B. Howeth."
"Dr. Steel is one of the most
picturesque aad eloquent speak-
ers I have ever listened to.
H. L. Stuart."
"He carried away his audience
at Georgetown on the pinions of
thought and imagination.
