THE ROCKDALE REPORTER, Thursday, August 26, 1920
Special New York Purchase
Of Fine Dress Silks
se-
Our buyer, while in New York, was fortunate enough to
cure a big lot of plain dress silks, in all of the popular shades,
at price concessions which enables us to pass on to our cus-
tomers a remarkable bargain in most desirable silk fabrics,
for autumn wear. We suggest that you take advantage of
this price concession at once, as we are not sure of being able
to obtain any more of these materials at the
price.
$3.00 Silk Taffettas
$3.00 Silk Georgettes
$3.00 Crepe de Chines $1.95
$3.00 Silk Messalines $1.95
To make this offering doubly attractive, we have decided to
include with the above silks, all silk fabrics of the same kind
and quality, from our regular stock, and knowing that the
supply will be quickly exhausted at this extraordinarily low
price, we again suggest that you give this your early attention

BRANCH PROPOSED TO S. AND R BUYER BACK
Meeting of l>elegale* at Htarne to
Koute Began Branch l>ow n the
I. A G. N. Kailway
A meeting of fifty delagates
seal from points along the I. & G. N.
from Taylor to Palestine, was held
Tuesday of last week at Hearoe for
the object of arousing interest in the
proposed .vauonai Highway from
Washington, D. C., to El Paso, Tex-
as.
Tht War Department has recom-
mended an extension of the Bankhead
Highway, which extends from a point
near Texarkana to Washington, D. C.
This proposed extension will connect
El Paso with Texarkana and will be
known as the Regan Branch of the
Bankhead Highway. Present plans
would be for the road to branch into
three divisions at San Antonio, as
follows: One to Corpus Christi, one
to Laredo, and one down the Southern
Pacific through Del Rio and on to
El Paso.
A temporay organization was
formed at Hearne to serve, it might
be said, as "boosters” of this High-
way, to arouse the interest all along
the 1. G. N. and to get the route to
conn, by way of Longview, Palestine,
Rockdale, Taylor, Austin and San
Antonio.
The following officers were elected
at this meeting:
President—H. C. Meyer, of Rock-
dale.
Vice President—J. W. H or lock of
Hearne.
Secretary—0. D. Baker, of Gause.
Assistant Secretary and Treasurer
1 —Mrs. F. R. Pugh of Hearne.
! The Executive Committee consists
I cf W. O. Newton of Milano; W. A.
Wiikerson of Hearne; Fred H. Graves
; of Rockdale; Paul Schultz of New
Baden; L. M. Rasberry of Easterly;
A. H. Thomas of Gause and F. S.

BANKHEAD HIGHWAY FROM EASTERN MARKETS
No Material Decline in Any of The
Dr> Good* Line*—Decline W ill
Be Very Gradual
Frank Young, buyer for the Dry
Goods Departments of the Scarbrough
& Hicks Company, returned Saturday
evening from a three weeks stay in
New York and the Eastern markets.
When asked as io cwwiinmi m ~
market, he said that the man who
would venture to make predictions as
to what would happen in the dry goods
line, belongs in the same class as the
man who makes weather predictions
in Texas.
There is no material decline in
prices in any of the dry goods lines,
and conditions would seem to indicate
that the decline, when it comes, will
be very gradual. There is no surplus
of merchandise, although there is no
shortage, as there has been. Labor
is asking higher wages, and manufac-
turers art closing down their plants
rather than make up merchandise at
a high price, which may have to be
sold later at a loss.
If this condition continues for any
length of time, with the usual Fall
demand for merchandise, a shortage
ty again be created, which .. •<>
mean a stiffening of prices. On the
whole, prices are still about the same
as they have been for the last sixty
days.
Mr. Young stated that owing to the
tight money market, the Scarbrough
& Hicks Company was able, to secure
some exceptional values in merchan-
dise, from manufacturers who needed
money, and had to sacrifice their
-docks to get it. These bargains will
according to the customary policy of
the Scarbrough <6 Hicks Company, be
distributed among the patrons of the
establishment, and will be duly an-
nounced through the columns of The
Reporter.

of the- exact age
of Hon. Pat M. Neff has arisen I will
thank you to print the following
Since right after the Civil War up
to a few years ago I lived but a few
miles from the house in which Pat
M. Neff was born and. which was oc-
cupied by his mother until recent
years. 1 lived in Coryell County ancf
the Neffs lived ju*t +hr- line
in McLennan County. I was at the
home of Mrs. 1. E .Neff, Pat’s moth-
er. frequently.
Distinctly do T remember that I
was at Mrs. Neff’s home in the
spring of 1872. Little Pat, as his
mother affectionately called him.
was then about six months old and
just beginning to catch hold of things*
to crawl. 1 remember it so distinctly
because Pat Neff is just a few months
older than my o’dest son, J. W. Ja-
cobs of Dallas, who was born in May,
1872.
So I am very positive that Patt
Neff was born in the latter part of
the year of 1871. My son, whom I
have mentioned, though younger than
.Mr. Neff, was not in the second draft
either. Respectfully,
MRS. MARY L. JACOBS.
