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. Loner before the tariff was pass-
ed our orders for fall and winter stocks had been placed. The purchases
have now all arrived and we 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

On receipt of ten cents, cash or

mailed of the mcst popular catarrh
and hay fever cure (Ely's Cream
Balm) sufficient to demonstrate
the great merits of the remedy.
Ely Brothkrs,
56 Warren St. New York City.
Rev. John Reid, Jr., of Great
Falls, Mont., recommended Ely's
Cream Balm to me. I can empha-
size his statement, *'It is a posi
tive core for catarrh if used as di-
rected."—Rev. Francis W. Poole,
pastor Central Presbyterian
chnch, Helena, Mont.
Ely's Cream Balm is the ac-
knowledged cure for catarrh and
contains no mercury nor any in
jurious drug. Price, 50 centB.
Removes Dandruff,
Stops the hair from falling out,
softens it and promotes the

The usual crowd attended the
Mulkey meeting last night. There
is no farther n«e trying to esti-
mate the attendance. The tent is
packed every night, the benches
oatside are crowded and the street
is jammed and it will be that way
as long as the evangelist stays in
town. He is a magnet whose
drawing power is unknown simply
because no place large enough to
accommodate the people who go
to hear him can be found.
Rev. Mnlkey preached last
night on "Spiritual and Moral In-
ventory," taking for his text II
CorinthianB, 13-5: "Examine
yourselves, whether ye be in the
faith; prove yourselves;" also
Galatians 6-4: "But let every man
piove his own work." He Baid a
spiritual inventory occasionally
was needed by every christian,
who should know exactly how he
stood. Paul exhorted the peop.e
to attend to their own business.
"This means," said Mr. Mulkey,
"that the Baptists of today must
not meddle with the Piesbyterians,
or the Methodists with any other
denomination. Let us be lynx-
eyed concerning our own condi-
tion, but mole-eyed concerning the
condition of others." The speak-
er was in a humorous frame of
mind as usual and kept his con-
gregation in a joyful mood there-
by enabling them to better appre
ciate the great Bible truths which
interpersed his remarks.
At the morning meeting there
were six conversions as the result
of a powerful appeal by Mr. Mai
key.
sunday services.
Large congregations attended
the different churches Sunday
morning, the several ministers
officiating in their own pulpits.
At the Denton street Methodist
church Rev. S. A. Steele of Nash-
ville preached a grand sermon on
the "Holy Ghost" basing his re-
marks on Acts 19-2: "Have ye
received the Holy Gost since ye
believed!" In the afternoon Rev.
Steele addressed a large crowd of
men at the opera house and the
service was one of the best in the
¥. M. C. A-.'*, history.
Rev. Abe Mulkey preached to
the children at 3 o'clock at the
big tent. The mothers and sisters
were there aud the fathers and
brothers were also quite numer-
ous.
At 4 o'clock the Woodmen of
the World unveiled a monument
at the cemetery in the presence of
a large gathering. The services
were very pretty and carried out
according to the ritual of that
grand order. Miss Jennie Lanins
recited the poem, "O, Why
Should the Spirit of Mortal be
Proud," in a very pleasing man-
ner. Rev. C. L. Brooks delivered
the address which was along the
line of fraternity and eulogistic
of the late sovereign, James W.
Boone.
At night everybody in Cooke
county gathered at the tent to
again listen to Rev. Mnlkey. At
least 2500 people were present.
The erangeli8t spoke on "Retri-
bution" and gare a chapter of his
ife as a business man. It was a
thrilling discourse and character-
stic of the man. He kept his
audience in a good humor, but
roasted them just the same. He
will conclude his sermon on
Retribution" tonight.

Mr. Fred Huntley as Kippo,
sang and acted the part to perfec-
tion. He has a fine stage pres-
ence and a powerful voice under
complete control which he uses
with excellent effect.
The tenor of the company, Mr.
Davies, had little to do as Prince
Frederick but did that little well.
He possesses a fine voice and will
be heard to better advantage to
night.
The two comedians, Jack Hen-
derson and George Kunkle are
"immense," and kept the aud
ience in roars of laughter. Their
fun is clean and absolutely free
from anything rough or objection-
able, which is more than can be
said of many comedians. They
are by far the cleverest pair of Inn
makers that have appeared here.
Tho chorus is excellent, richly
yet modestly costumed and exe-
cuted a march in the third act
that literally brought down the
house.
That funniest of all comic operas
"Said Pasha," will be given to
niuht and no one should fail to
attend to hear the most excellent
company.

Amusements.
Opera is something quite new
to Gainesville and the advent of
the Columbia Opera^Jcompany in
"La Mascotte" last night was
awaited with much interest. A
good audience witnessed the per-
formance and highly compliment-
ary remarks were heard on all
sides when the people were dis
persing after enjoying one of the
most pleasing entertainments ever
offered our citizens. Everything
was done so cleverly; the comedy
being absolutely free from any-
thing bordering on vulgaritj, the
music splendidly sung and the
costumes rioh and handsome that
every one departed with regret
When the curtain fell at the end of
the performance.
The title role was assumed by
Miss Ethel Balch, a winsome little
lady with a beautiful soprano
voice, showing evidences of great
culture, and who soon became f
prime favorite with the audience
Miss Katherine MacNeill, the
proprietress of the company, made
a handsome pjinoess and is an ac
cowpiisbed actress.
The civil docket was taken up
yesterday in the district conrt and
after disposing of one case a rest
was taken until this morning.
John and Al Watkins, Tom
Holland and John Alexander of
Era were in town yesterday with
fifty-six bales of cotton which
they sold at the top notch.
B. F. Rook yesterday morning
closed a contract with the oil mill
people whereby he will put a felt
•*nd gravel roof on the new addi-
tion to the seed house. The roof
will cost £1100. Gainesville needs
more such institutions as the oil
mill.
For the benefit of the school
children and the public generally
the Hesperian Is glad to state
that the phys.cians say there is no
longer any danger from diph-
theria. The two cases reported
some days ago have entirely re-
covered.
William Elliott, a young farmer
from Coesfield, was taken 111
yesterday while coming to town
and for a while it was thought he
would die. He was taken to the
home of Frank Liedtke where phy-
sicians attended him and pronoun-
ced him suffering from spinal
meningitis.
"In the Dreamland ot Enid" is
the title of a book of poems re-
ceived by the Hesperian. Joe
Shelby Riley of Enid, O. T , is the
author. Joe shows no great im-
provement as a poet and his
ver es are just as tender and sweet
and original as ever.
The ex-convict with his striped
suit of bed ticking was on the
streets yesterday morning but
mercifully departed on the east
bound Katy. They say his mis-
sion on earth now is to keep man-
kind out of the penitentiaries. If
sucn is the case he could do far
more good if he would abandon
his present garb.
