ranged that no trouble is seli-ct- exper
ienced by the customers in

better man to be found in business
anywhere than Mr, Holscn
beck and bis wide awake
clerks and they are ready to
meet the wants of all the people of
this section at a small advance on
the cost of goods. They have
Studied the situation and know
that exhorbitant rates for inferior
goods will not save business men
from bankruptcy. Once they securo
a customer they do not “skin” him,
but seek do keep him by giving him
good goods at the lowest prices. Our
worn i'j? it, they will succeed. One
price and that the very lowest; no
second hand goods, everything fresh

FROM JAMES.
Editor Headlight;— We never
see any thing in the c damns of the
ranch appreciated Headlight those
days (since Alex Smart has quit
writing) from our pleasant little
city. Wo regret exceedingly that
said A. S, is about to let us be left.
This makes us a little jealous of our
town's reputation and tempts me
this time to your readers a few dots.
Wo always look forward to Monday,
knowing that on that day our high
ly prized County paper will make
its appearanco, and when we open it
aud find locals from Clinton, Had
docks, Round Ork, etc., wo wonder
why this part of the good old Coun
ty is not there too. It cant bo that
wo are behind any of these places in
intellect, energy or neighborhood
news. Ours is a thriving little vil
lage, we often see Clin Ionites, Mor
tonites and other “ites” coming here
to “take the train’’ or do a little
trading, notwithstanding they’ have
a train and stores of their own.
Sometimes they prefer our railroad
and send for our nice little Doctor
ail the same. Wo always have a
kind welcome for our friends, and
flatter ourselves that the inhabitants
hero are both hospitable and social.
To this the ubiqitous “tramp” will
assent. Last, but not least, our lit
tle school which began last week is
flourishing, and having secured the
services of Miss Kate Sn'pcs, •her
patrons fecled assured that their
children are in competent hands.
She is a young lady of accou plisli
inent and great amiability and has
already gained the confidence of the
paronts and t ho love of her pupils.
No place of Its size in the eomitv
can boast of a nicer school building
than James. It is an ornament to
the village-—but more anon.

V ben a hundred bottles of sarsa

and pimples on her fat e and neck.
She took three bottles of B. B. B„
