Young democrats'. Come out to-niglit!
Don’t forget the big meeting of young
democrats to-night.
Read real estate “ad” of Mr. Callaway
the real estate man.
Matters in police circles were quiet as
the grave yesterday.
The total cotton receipts for Monday
and Tuesday wore 504 bales.
Xo police court was held yesterday on
account of the removal of headquarters.
Don’t forget to attend the rally of
young democrats at the opera house to
night.
Business at the court house yesterday
was anything but brisk—there was ac
tually nothing going on.
Business men are expressing them
selves as being greatly pleased with
trade for the last few days.
The Americus Club moved part of its
furniture iuto its new quarters iu the
Hart building, on Forsyth street yester
day.
The streets were fairly alive with peo
ple yesterday. The ladles especially
being out in full force during the fore
noon.
Don’t forget the meeting to-night at
the opera house. Every young demo
crat, and old one too, for that matter,
is expected.
Garnishments are in high favor just
now, and creditors are turning accounts
over to law, for collection, without auy
compunctions.
The police feel rather proud of their
quarters in the new city hall, but say
they part with the old court house with
genuine regret.
The friends of Joe Duckworth, the
rapist, who was lately captured in Flori
da, expect to secure bail for him—so
they claim—in few days.
A large number of Dr. Russell’s
friends have been endeavoring to induce
him to give away his pug; but no body
asks for that “dude” cane.
Improvements are being made about
the front entrance to Clark & Hooper’s
store on Lamar street; the work being
done by the Americas Construction
Company.
A brick sidewalk is being put down at
the corner of Lee and Forsyth street,

HAT STOCK
this season: it is so large and
varied and embraces a full line
of Jno. B. Stetson Hats, Fine
Soft Hats of all kinds, Cru^h
Hats, Derby Hats, Caps for
boys, and the celebrated world-
renowned
KNOX HATS
Trade is brightening up wonder
fully. The rise in the marketable
price of oar home products—the
advent of a new season—the open
ing up of a new stock, all this com
bined with an untiring energy—
an unremitting desire to please—
is making itself felt at the Artesian
corner.
The novelties in china glassware,
and lamps are almost bewildering
this season. The sample rooms of
our best gloss and lamp factories
as well os those of the Importing
China agencies presented a con
stellation of dazzling effects in the
most >'i iu r. nnvut tilV.', heir

KNOX HAT
You know the old adage “Goods
well bought are half sold.” When
we buy staples—we look for tho
best qualities obtainable—when we
buy specialties, we look not alone
for quality, but for the effects that
the finest fancies and the latest
fads demand. In addition to this
we always look for the lowest price
that factories will give, and the
best of it is, we don't stop looking
until we get there on all three
points—quality, style and price.

mid arranged, you will see that . as
our city adds one beautiful store
after another, there is that same
progressive spirit here, improving
with improvements—improving on
improvements—Butler & Berry’s
Artesian comer.
Its not much gossip to tell yotr
that when this new stock began to
come in, it did not find our shelves
empty. Here, there and every
where you could find a few odd
sets of glasses and an odd lot of
dishes—a stray lamp or two—the
last “trade orphans” left of a once
bright lamp family, and we tell you
framdy, we don’t like odd lots, we

lots, desirable as they are, with the
new lines wo are marking up. Its
a question of convenience with ns

see these goods.
