To Keep It Before the People
<vy,
We never tire m telling of the quality and quantity of goods we
sell. Our name is a household word throughout tkis section,
and tke goods we sell are known almost as well as tke firm name.
Well known krands of goods, suck as Hamilton-Brown skoes, Silk
Finisk Flour and tke kest makes of clotkmg kave won for us a
patronage for wkick we are justly proud. Tke fact
That We Sell It tor Less
> '
Is known far and wide and tkis expression is frequently coupled witk tke firm name
ky tke people. It is true. No matter wkat you may want, kow muck or kow
little, we kave it and we kave it of quality and for less money tkan you can kuy it
elsewkere. Put us to tke test, any test, and you will find we demonstrate our motto

Senator Bailey and his adher-
ents have charge of the demo-
cratic convention at Galveston,
and will probably run things to
suit themselves. There was at
once unification of Poindexter
and Colquitt forces, and they
have sufficient strength to con-
trol absolutely, though there will
be some opposition, enough at
least, to make the couvention a
place of interest. Davidson has

as that, not only impairs the use-
fulness of public officials, but
weakens the faith of the people
in their own government. Thatj ton tendon,
probably is a greater , hurt than

hat a man who is commissioned

But the Farmers’ Union has
