inquiry cheerfully and
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 shownj 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.
SPECIA.L:
Just received, another case of Summer Corsets,
which we will sell for 35 cents, would he a bargain
for 75 cents.
Special drives every day this month. Look out for
bargains.

San Antonio, Aug. 28.—The de-tails
of the shooting affray that oc-curred
twenty miles from here yester-day
morning reached here to-day. Al-bert
Cox and William Uhr, two prom-inent
fanners of that locality, quar-reled
a few days ago about the owner-ship
of a calf and Cox used pretty
strong language against Uhr. The
latter did not resent the insult at the
time, but yesterday morning he armed'
himself with his Winchester, and, go-ing
to where Cox was working in the
field, he shot him three times, his
death occurring a few hours later.
Uhr tearing the consequences of his
act, then blew his own brains out with
the gun.

Fort Worth, Aug. 28.—Last
night was the quietest ever known in
police circles in this city. But seven
arrests were made and none of import-ance.
The negro opposition to the negro
evangelist, Griffin, have not materaliz-ed
their threat yet. They had sent in
a petition to the city council asking
that body to put a stop to Griffin’s re-vivals
and threatened to take the law
in their own hands if the city did not
interfere. Their charge against him
was unlawful meetings. On account
of the broad nature of the charge the
council took no action. For a while
things looked black among the negroes
and an outbreak seemed threatening.
Griffin is a negro of radical opinions
and heavy speech and his followerers
are as enthusiastic as the opposition
are bitter. The whole affair has ap-parently
blown over.
Several manufacturing projeots of
large importance are being discussed
seriously by capitalists. It is fair to
predict that a cotton mill is only the
initiatory to a manufacturing epi-demic
here.

Weatherford, Aug. 28,—Duputy
United States Marshall Bob Moore
and Will Evans, who captured the
three Brawley boys in the Indian Ter-ritory
near Ardmore, yesterday morn-ing,
brought them here this morning
and they were lodged in jail. These
are the three young men who cut and
beat young Henry Erwin at a picnic in
this county some days ago, an account
of which was wired you and published
in the Constitution. Erwin is still
alive and will probably recover.
The proposition of the Texas Coal
and Fuel company to deliver coal for
consumption in Weatherford and with-in
a radius of five miles, has created a
lively feeling and greatly encouraged
enterprises of every character here. It
will be a saving in fuel of over $3,000
per month to the city.
Six bales of new cotton were re-ceived
