Notice To The Farmers!
1 enjoyed a liberal patronage last year, for
which I am very thankful.
I am still doing business at the same old site
and would be glad to see all my customers back
again this fall and as many others as feel like they
could share their patronage with me.
Further Spurns
All who believe P. A. Shield
has been defrauded out of the
democratic rcminitxn, hold up
your hands.
I
I am also in the marketfor cotton; will buy I
either before or after it is ginned, and will make |
it to your interest to see me before Ginning or
Disposing of your cotton.
Very Respectfully,
T. KimbeK,

HARNESS
Do you know good harness
when you see them? Some peo
pie do and some do not. All of
our leather goods are bought
from a house that puts out
nothing but FULL STOCK
stuff and we do not hesitate
to guarantee every piece of
leather sold. We buy them
right and we combine low pri-
ces with the very best quali-
ty.
?
FURNITURE & RUGS.
I "*
We have a nice line of Rock-
ing Chairs, some real values.
Boys, why not remember your
mother on her birthday by
making her a present of a nice
chair or rug. She will appreci-
ate this; try It. . Price some
of our "complete house-keep-
er's outfits" next time you
are in our | store. You don't
have to go nor send to the cat-
alog houses for cheap furni-
ture. We have it right here at
home at prices as low as the
lowest.
Down. All who are willing to
submit to such procedure hold up
your han'ls.

More Attractions tor ihe Fair
Jack Fletcher has just return-
ed from a trip in North Oklaho-
ma which was made in the in-
terest of the Fair association,
and says he has secured a half
a mile of shows including a big
steam swing, Fair attractions,
Camp big show and J. F. Rogers
Big Wagon Show will probably
be the largest, while a big list of
smaller shows are booking for
this date, the Millex Bros Car-
nival Co. and J. L. Slaughter's
Shows will be on the ground.
Oct 1 the Dallas News issued
a Silver anniversary edition, it
having been twenty five years
since this journalistic enterprise
was launched at Dallas, Like
every thing else the News un-
dertakes, it was complete, and
was a fair ind ex to the progress
of Dallas, Texas and the News.
I
Though it is pudlished in Texas
it is the most populor of our ex-
changes. Visitors to this office
who drop in to look over the dai-
ly papers almost invariably ask
for the News. Whatever may
be said of the ils editorial views,
it never supports them by dis-
torting the news in its columns.
A New Finn for Blair
The Ford Dry Goods Company
has opened a business in the
building recently occupied by
Mr. F. L Carpenter's grocery
business. This new firm is re-
ceiving a nice line of dry goods,
shoes, clothing, etc and promises
to be a valuable accession to our
town. You will hear further
from them through the columns
of the Progress next week.
The Broom Factory
The man engaged by Judge j
Huling to take charge of the |
broom factory proved incompe-
tent, hence was discharged. The
machinery is of the best and
with a competent man to super- j
vise the work Blair will put out
as good brooms as can be had.
Thd Judge has advertised for!
a man. As soon he can be found
things will begin to hum.
An Appeal to Stockmen
Don't fail to enter your stock
just as soon as possible. Don't
wa it until the first day of the
Fair for it will be almost im-
possible to take care of it prop-
I erly at this time, this applies to
' the race entries as well. Mr. E.
E. Snodgrass has the entry book
and you can see it at any time.
A Cat. of the Fair can be had for
asking, get one and enter some
exhibits help to make this the
best Fair of this country.
We are in receipt of a ccjry of
The Balance Wheel, the organ
of the Missouri Anti-Prohibiticn
Association, and it is unneces-
sary to state that it is full, not
only from cover to covrr, but
from top of first page cover to
bottom of last page cover of the
rankest misrepresentations. It
gives in large bold faced type
the statement of a drummer,
that where there were both dry
and wet towns on the same road
he never stopped at the dry
towns as he could not sell e-
nough to pay his hotel bills.
That fellow was evidently a
whiskey drummer. This is a
fair sample of its contents.
False Hair
Again the question of the
source, supply, and use of false
hair is attracting attention. A
writer who recently visited a
German fair tells us that he saw
scores of young Jadies and girls
in their teens have their long
flowing tresses shaven from their
heads for the paltry sum of 20
cents. This, says the writer is a
most lucrative business as the
the hair of these fair German
lasses commands the best figu res
in the market.
This is but one side of the
question. The practice of ex-
huming Chinese corpses to se-
cure the "cue" of the deceased
celestial has become so prevalent
that the Chinese authorities are
taking steps to stop it. This
hair is chiefly used to make
rats and o^her accessories of
hair dressing.
This trafic in hair and its
substitutes is hygenicallv dan-
gerous and esthelically revolt-
ing.

We Have Prepared for the Fall Trade
by increasing our entire stock and we thank the peo-
ple of Blair and Jackson County for their apprecia-
tion of our efforts which have been shown by their
most liberal patronage. We believe in keeping an up-
to-date store, a store full of good serviceable goods,
and have found out that is what the people want.

Some people have been kicking at the little truths
we had in die paper. Just put on our shoes
and carry about 600 people from January to Oc-
tober and see if you would get your back up when
they don't know you whenpay-day comes. But
we are well satisfied with the way most of- our
customers are paying their bills—doing fine. Of
course we are not getting much dry goods trade
as we haven't got die humbug sign.
