Cotton at 8 To 9 Cents is too low. We cannot afford to sell it all at that, but some of us will have to sell some of it. If you can buy your goods at prices in proportion to 8 to 9 cent cotton, you can afford to sell enough to buy what you need. I have just returned from New York where I bought the largest and best stock of reliable merchandise I have ever had; and best of all, I bougt it at the lowest prices of the season. Some of tne merchants say that they are not going to buy any new goods on account of the low price of cotton, but \ think if I buy new goods and get them at lower prices, that they will sell belter than oid goods. Things move along so rapidly nowadays that people who say “it can’t be done” are always be ing interrupted and surprised by somebody doing it, and I find the people who do things are the beople who succeed, and 1 know that you will want new dresses for your wife and children, so 1 bought a big stock of DRY GOODS. The new suit that has been promised must be bought, and everybody wants the latest CLOTHING. To mention all the things I have in stock for you would take all this paper, so when you want anything in general merchandise, you will find it he.e at the lowest price for which it can be sold; Wath this space for prices next week.
