STORE
Are Arriving on Every Train!
Our Diy Goods and Millineiy Rooms are crowded daily
with delighted customers. Such complimentary remarks as
these are being heard on every hand: “What lovely goods!”
“Prettiest goods ever shown in Jackson,” etc. In fact, our
store is the chief topic of conversation among the ladies.
What makes makes our house so popular? It is because
we have the class of goods suitable to the wants of the peo
ple. Our goods are all new, not old shopworn stuff many
others are offering, but fresh, bright and attractive. And
above all, are at POPULAR PRICES.
Our Low Pricesj. T@wn Talk!
Our competitors are growling. Some of them have al
ready cried out something like this: “We have had no com
petition before, arid will have none after this season.” Well,
we guess they mean they are going to quit business—can’t
stand competition.
YOUNG MAN, if you want a good suit of Clothes,
for a little money, THE STAR STORE is the place to buy

pair of Shoes, go to The Star—a pretty Cravat, Shirts, Col
lars, Cuffs, or anything else, go to THE STAR, and we will
guarantee that you will like our goods and prices.

Texas for tile lieiiclit of tils

KJiter Hfeurv County Weekly :
1 never could make a speed) iu
school, and ran .nvay from Win. N.
Ne'son the last *on I ever went to, in
I’oitts county, ip the year 1858. Uncle
Hunk, as we boys always called him,
IlHll his strict rules, and every pupil
bad to couie “square to the scratch,”
and no matter if they were “as bio as
a skint mule,” they were sent to school
to him. 1 helped to elect him to the
oillco be now holds. If he is as prompt
in his official duties as he was in the
school room, Henry county would do
well to give him the office as long as
he asks for it.
Now, I never could write a gramati
cal letter, because 1 never studied gram
mar much. So you can call this a lit
tie speech, or a letter just as you like,
if you dou’t see. tit to dump it into the
waste basket.
1 wish to ask three hundred
thinking m< n, from the ages of
30 to 50 years old, to come to Clay
county, Texas, and the adjoining coun
ties, on a prospecting tour—coma and
see for themselves, judge for themselves
and act accordingly. This is what I
claim to the best section of country in
the State for the Georgia farmer who is
looking ahead for his children’s chil
dren yet unb ;rn. Why do I say it is
the best ? Because I have traveled
east and west, north and south of Fort
Worth—not all over the State, but a
goodly portion of it. The black waxy
lands are the best corn and cotton
country I saw, but the corn does
not keep well, the weavil being disas
trous. It is the most disagreeable
country in wet weather I ever saw.
The eastern portion of the State is a
good farming country, hut not healthy ;
the extreme west too dry at present,
but will be a grand country some day.
Clay and adjoining counties lie about
iu the sumo latitude as Ilenryy Butts
and Spalding coutit’es in Georgia, it
being from 800 to 1000 feet above sea
level. Water and health good—water
not as common as iu the red hills of
Georgia. Plenty of good water here,
as pure freestone as 1 ever drank or
used in Georgia, but we have to dig
■for it. About three years ago, when
we settled this place, I helped the boys
dig a well, or spring, as you might call
it, as we only dug three feet deep and
three feet in diameter, and found good
water with plenty of it, the spring sup
plying four families and seventeen
head of horses during the worst drouth
I have ever seen in Texas. Plenty of
good water always found in 15 to 30
feet As to health, there is no local
cause for bad health here. The health of
my family is as good if not. better than
it was when I lived on the red hil’s of
Georgia. My doctor’s hill for wife
and four children for over six years
has only been about sixteen dollars.
I haven’t a word to say against old
Georgia. It is a good old State, but
is like a good old man —its best days
have passed. We have had a mild
winter here to what you Georgia folks
had, from the reading of your paper.
The 26th of December, the 16th of
January and and the Ist of February
were the only three had windy days
we had during the winter.
In conclusion, our county site, lien
rietta, is one of the nourishing towns
of northwest Texas, with twenty four
or five hundred inhabitants, composed
of good law abiding citizens, good olli
ctrs, merchants, real estate men, doc
tors, lawyers, preachers, teachers, etc.
and as good public buildings as I have
seen in my travels. I am no land
agent, not paid to drum for any of
them. Only have an interest in eight
hundred acres, and it is not on the mar
ket, nor won’t be, unless my mind
changes from what is at now. I ask
you old men to come and see if I guess
riizlit. You eighteeu and Lweuty-year
old boys stay with your mammas.
