Collections received npon all accessible points, and returns promptly made as directed. Care
fnl attention given to the business of correspondents. Letters of Inquiry cheerfully and
promptly answered.
Accounts of Country Banks, Merchants and Individuals Solicited.
It is impossible to run a store with a stock as large
as ours, and doing the immense business we do
without gathering during the rush of the season a
world of odds and ends, broken lines of shoes here,
a stack of odd suits there, remnants of dress goods,
white goods and trimmings, broken lines of chil-drens’,
misses and ladies’ hose; all such must go.
We carry over no goods, and little lots of goods of
whatever character we unmercifully slaughter. We
simply can’t have them in our way, and out they
must go, no matter what they bring. During the
balance of this month we promise you special bar-gains
on the counters every day. We cannot now
tell you what day 'a certain line will be shown, and
sacrificed, but we do promise you that every day
will see the extermination of some one or more lines
at a mere fraction of their real worth. One of our
buyers is already on the market, the other two leave
this week, and by the first of September goods will
be pouring in by the carload, so summer goods
must go, bring what they will.
Just received, another case of Summer Corsets,
which we will sell for 35 cents, would be a bargain
for 75 cents.
Special drives every day this month. Look out for
bargains.

Special to the News.
Dallas, Sept. 8.—A Delphia, La.,
special to the Times-Herald says: Mr.
Flemming, who committed suicide in
Dallas Saturday morning was widely
known along the Queen ar.d Crescent
line and was very popular. He was a
conductor on this road for a number of
years prior to his election as treasurer
of Madison parish at Tallula. It was
suspected there that possibly a short-,
age in his accounts was the cause of
his despondency and self-destruction,
but such is not the case. He turned
over his office and parish funds before
he left here. He owns a large planta-tion
here and is worth about $20,000.
His check book just received with
other papers showed that on the 15th
and 25th of August he put $850 into
the furniture business of G. A. Stow-ers
& Co., of Dallas, of which firm he
was a one-fourth partner.
He wrote a brother-in-law
near Shreveport that he expected to
kill himself. He had been a great
sufferer from hay fever for several
years, and frequently in despondent
spells, would declare he would have to
kill himself; but when he left for Dal-las
he was in better health and hope-ful
spirits, and his friends were all
very much surprised to hear of his
death. An old railroad friend of his
who has known him well, at the din-ner
table to-day said to other railroad
friends, that Fleming was engaged to
a young lady at Vicksburg, that his
love affair had lately been a cause of
unhappiness to him, and that doubt-less
this was partly the cause of the
trouble which led to his suicide. He
was a widower and leaves three chil-dren.
A Close Call.
Joshua, Tex., Sept. 7.—Last even-ing
about 8 o’clock a young man by
the name of Rhodes, in company with
some others, was coming to Joshua
horseback. When about one mile from
here, young Rhodes’ horse commenced
running with him, and left the road
and ran into an old well by the road-side,
some forty feet deep, which had
been dug a year or two ago, and there
being no water in it, it had been
abandoned and covered over with
brush. In the fall the young man got
loose from the horse and caught on
the well about fifteen feet from the
top, thereby saving himself from a
horrible death. He was speedily taken
out and found to have received inju-ries
in the arm and shoulder, but no:
serious. Nothing checked the hors
until he reached the bottom of th
well, where he died before force .coul
arrive to take him out.
