ATTENTION!
Our buyers have returned from, the Eastern Markets, and the new
goods are arriving daily.
Sharp advances' in all lines of goods have already forced most of
:.
the merchants to increase their prices. We did not only in a very few
instances. We planed early and well; you reap the harvest.
These unchanged Model prices afford you big savings and better
values than any other store in the entire West and Southwest. We
invite you to come in early arul look over the new goods.

bushels at best, whereupon, a neigh-
bor dickered with him and a deal was
made at 700 bushels, and the owner
was properly secured in the transac-
tion with the expense of the thresh-
ing in his favor. The crop threshed
out 1.047H bushels. The original
owner held out for more and the mat-
ter was arbitrated, giving him one-
half of the amount over what he had
agreed on. This is only one case in
many where the yield has been a grjat
deal better for its owner than was
expected, and it's not a good precedent
to underestimate any crop
good in Texas county.
