Rev. W, H. Park, formerly pas-
tor of the Baptist church ot this city,
but now in the sheep business near

wool clipping more profitable than
looking after the iambe of the Chris*
tian fold.
Gaiaman A Co. keep a telephone

The first ot the week the sidewalk
in trout of Moseley Bro.’s new dry

the Gurmn that he had pur-
chased a very large stock which
would soon be 6a the shelve# for tbe
iaspect!on of tbe public.
The Star Storc~was closed up on

, In announcing tbe wedding of
last week I made a mistake. It was
A. Ditmon instead of Detamere.
Mr. Still, tbe master mechanic of
this place, was out riding with his

DASSLUG DISPLAY.
The Hew and Fashionable Goods st Ph.
Slutsky's Jewelry Stan.
Mr. Ph. Slutsky has returned from
the east, anti, as was announced in
the Gazetteer he would do, be has
purchased as fine a stock of goods
in hie line ever displayed in tbe cases
of any jewelry establishment in this
state. This is no exaggeration; wo
have looked over his invoice and
have carefully inspected tbe first in-
stallment which has just arrived.
Mr. Slntzky is the oldest dealer in
jewelry and silverwere in Denison,
and has carefully studied the wants
of the public. No one is better
aware than he that tbe citizens oi
Denison demand goods of tbe beat
quality in all lines, and be has taken
particular pains to meet the demand.
Another thing; he has the confi-
dence of tbe public. They know
that be never misrepresents his goods,
and will not take advantage of tbs
inexperienced to charge more than a
living profit. It is this strict ad iter-
ance to true business principles that
has given him such a prestage and
so firm a hold upon tbe public. But
we started to sas something regard-
ing his new goods. In tbe line of
silverware he has purchased a beau-
tiful line of novelties. Tbe stock in-
cludes nearly everything of utility
and taste: Ice pitchers, undivided
castors, pickle and salad castors,
silver goblets, cream and berry
dishes, butter dishes, syrup cape,
jewelry caskets, toilet sets, vases,
call bells, card receivers, etc., etc. Is
jewelry, we may mention gold
and silver watches for both
both ladies and gentlemen, with the
most popular movements, and at
prices that challenge competion.
Ladies' Chatelin watches in both
gold and silver, of unique designs.
Gents’ chains and ladies' vert chains
—some thing new sod very hand-
some—various designs. Bracelets,
rings, pins, ladies’ sets, gold tooth-
picks, pencils, necklaces, silver card
cases, gold, silver and steel specta-
cles and eye-glasses, etc., etc.
- Oar attention was particularly at-
tracted to a number ot ladies' dia-
mond initial rings. These are a
late production, beautiful in design,
and will no doubt have a ran.
His stock of Rogers’ cutlery is
large, and be carries a complete line
of Seth Thomas docks, repress nl
ing all the modern styles and prices.
These latter goods will be sold on a
very dose margin.
We might go on and greatly ex- ,
trad the last, but what’s tbe ate?
We know oar readers will call to
we tbe brilliant display of new and
attractive goods many of which have
arrived, and others will follow

I. Franklin, dry goods dealer,
made an
and making difficult changes. "The
Flower Girl,” by Bevignini, and
"Robin Adair,” received hearty en
cores, as our audiences have a par-
donable preference lor tbe sweeter
and less classical songs. Miss Crooks
possesses unusual talents as a vocal-
ist and we bespeak for her a brilliant
luture.
Miss Nettie Bennett’s “ Mary,
Queen of ocots” displayed a fine
voice and more than ordinsry' dra-
matic powers.
Tbe instrumental music by Miss
Dixie Hughes was one of the suc-
cesses of the evening, and only a
professional could to do justice to her
splendid execution of the strictly
classical ‘‘Rigaletto De Verdi" by
F. Liszt.
We with pleasure make special
mention of the powerfully dramatic
recital of "The Drummer’s Bride,**
by Miss Addie Jennings. This lady
has not mistaken her specialty, and
we would gladly announce her re-
appearance at an early day.
Male quartettes are always accept-
able and our boys only need practice
to become first among aosatuers, as
they all have fine voices.
Mr. Everett displayed his well-
known skill as an accompanist, and
tne introduction of tbe ‘’Zither,” by
Mr. Frank, filled in a programme
that certainly “does us proud.”
Arlington Concert and Oomody Company.
Billy Arlington and his company
were greeted with a very good house
Friday night, and tbe entertainment
furnished was a-good one. Arling-
ton keeps his audience in a roar of
laughter from the start with his
songs, speeches and original jokes.
Prof. Kelly is a wonderful performer
on a variety of instruments. The
imitation of the dram and bugle ca II
on the concertina was remarksble,
sod he had all the occupants of the
barn yard “talking" through bis
violin as natural as life. Hie cackle
of the hen, crow of the rooster, brav
of tbe donkey, grunt of the hog,
squeal ot tbe pigs—all were imitated
W. Coles’
circus, was in the city last week snd
paid the Gazkttker a pleasant
visit. He requests the Gaxxttkkr
to announce to ita many readers that
W. W. Cotea’ circus and menagerie
would visit Denison on the t6th of
October, snd give two ot the best
entertainments ever given by a circus
in Denison.
A party of thirty or thirty-five
persons, came over from Sherman
Thursday to hear Miss Dixie sing.
We remember seeing N. P. Hopson

Mr. Crooks informs us that his

soo, in a concert to be given as a
benefit to that lady. Thence she

monds in a concert benefit. Sher-
man tenders Miss Dixie a benefit on

tions are making, and she will sing

wishes of the Gazetteer will ac-
company her. _
Fine lot of melons this morning at
Harbison A Hibbard’s.
We direct attention to tbe double
column advertisement of R. G.
Hall’s dry goods and clothing house,
Sherman, which appears in this is-
sue of tbe Gazetteer. Mr. Hall
is koowu all over North Texts as one
of the foremost merchants in his
line of trade in this section of tbe
state. The part year he has con-
fined himself 10 the wholesale trade,
but bas decided to again do a retail
business in connection with jobbing,
and has added s millinery depart-
ment. This latter is a branch of his
business to which we desire to es-
pecially call the attention of our
lady readers. He tells us, and a
visit to his store confirms what be
says, that there is no larger nor bet-
ter selected stock of millinery and
.dress goods in Not th Texas, and he
is confident be can offer such bar-
gains ss will make it an object to
yfoit Sherman. Read the advertise-
assignment Friday to
Messrs. Rohrbough, Moore A Co., of
this city, for the benefit of his credi-
tors. We understand tbe indebted-
ness is small. Mr. Franklin would
no doubt have pulled through all
right were it not that be has been in
very bad health for several months.
He is at present confined to his
room. r _

short, without a moment’s dullness
about it. Arlington, as tne servant,
is tbe funniest fellow alive. We can
say truthfully, that the entertainment
throughout was a success. There is
no solemnity about it. Nothing dull,
nothing sentimental or grave, and no
business there if be
