We are indeed very grateful to our friends for their liberal patronage

our appreciation of so liberal share of your trade. We want you to
feel that we are under obligations to you, and that we want to recipro-
cate. Tell ns what to do for you and see how eagerly we will respond
Our store was crowded all day Tuesday and we want to apologize to our
trade for not being able to wait on the crowd as fast and efficiently as
should have been, but Trade’s Day is new to us all. Next time we will
have more help and can take care of your every want.
No. 2618 wins the $5.00 in gold which was offered Tuesday. Ex-
amine your tickets, if you have it send it in. No. 113 wins the shoes.
Save your tickets, they are good for the drawing Tuesday.
We sold lots of goods Tuesday, but we have lots of nice bargains left
and can take care of your wants. Come to see us when in town. If
you don’t trade with us we wont FALL OUT with you, but if you do
trade with us, we will show you that we appreciate it.

DOWNWARD COURSE
Fast Being Realized by Livingston
People.
A little backache at first.
Daily increasing till the back is
lame and weak.
Urinary disorders quickly
follow;
Diabetes and finally Bright’s
disease.
This is the downward course
of kidney ills.
Don’t take this course. Follow
the advice of a Livingston citizen.
E. D. Drew, dentist. County
Building, Livingston, Texas,
says: ‘‘I had a feeling of languor
and weariness and after getting
up in the morning, I could hardly
drag myself around. Dull head-
aches were frequent and there
was a soreness in the small of my
back. I lacked ertergy and had
to put forth an effort to attend
to my work. Knowing that this
trouble was caused by inactive
kidneys, I finally procured a box
of Doan’s Kidney Pills from the
Livingston Drug Co. and began
taking them. They soon brought
about, a change for the better.
My strength returned and the
backache disappeared. I am so
thoroughly convinced of the
merits of Doan’s Kidney Pills
that I heatily recommend them.”

For Congress.
In the proper column will be
found the announcement of C. F.
Stevens of Liberty for the
position of Congressman for the
seventh district of Texas. His
announcement is subject to the
Democratic primaries in July.
Judge Stevens is one of the
ablest lawyers in East Texas, is
an eloqent speaker and a most
affable gentleman of the old
school. While a young man he
was county judge of his county,
Liberty, and a good one he was,
leaving his handywork of a busi-
ness administration of its affairs
as a legacy for others to follow
his footsteps. Judge Stevens is
a fine specimen of physical man-
hood and his mental proportions
are still greater. He is emminently
qualified for the position to which
he aspires. In his address to
the people of the district .Judge
Stevens gives one main thing
that he will use Lis influence to
accomplish, and that is, that he
favors the deepening of the
Trinity, river from its mouth up-
ward so the people along its
course can be reaping the bene-
fits of navigation from the com-
pletion of one lock and dam,
rather than begin at its source,
at Dallas, and work down stream
which will benefit no one till the
whole river is, made navigable.
This is a very strong argument
toward the solution of this im-
portance question that seems of
as great importance to this dis-
trict and this logic will be hard
to explain away. Judge Stevens
has been a lifelong democrat and
asks the suffrace of the voters of
the district. He will doubtless
canvass this county before the
primaries and we commend his
candidacy to the careful consid-
eration of the voters of Folk
county.
Two Firms Change Hands.
Last week T. J. McKinnon
purchased the Livingston Sheet
Metal Works from K. G. Peebles,
and will continue the business
at the same place, which is locat-
ed in the Willis building next to
Brock & Tew’s meat market.
After selling the business Mr.
Peebles accepted a position with
Mr. McKinnon, and will assist
him with his work. Mr. McKin-
non is also an expert plumber
and he will do all kinds of plumb-
ing work in connection with his
other work.
Mr, Chas. Waverley of Good-
rich has purchased the black-
smith shop from Mr. G. G. Rob-
erds, and will operate the busi-
ness at the same place where it
is now loacated.
When it comes to growing and

Yes there are many old towns
in the state that have grown to a
ripe old age and decayed, with-
out ever accomplishing anything,
just the same as some men have
done. However, we do not say
that Center is in this class, but if
you want to see a hustling, rust-
ling business town come to Live-
ly Livingston. Watch the work

see the men excavating for that
new store and bank building,

up that mile of demonstration
road, hear them boost the Trade’s
Day on the 24 of this month, and
hear them boost some more for

‘‘Friendship is nothing than
an entire fellow-feeling as to all
things, human and divine, with
mutual good-will and affection;
and I doubt whether anything is
better than this, wisdom alone
excepted, has been given to man
by the immortal gods.”—-Cicero
We have not heard anything a-

Several of our farmers have po-
