relativeson the altar Of his country |
for the good Of The cause.
Economy ought to be made acquain- !
ted with the fact that some Of the
Councilmen are getting tired Of that |
kind Of thankless generosity. Scarce
ly two months have elapsed since sev-
eral OF them went down in their p0ck-
cts to contribute in purchasing TWEEN
ty-tive acres of land for the railroad
across the river, while many Of the
taxpayers he speaks Of wouldn't give
a single cent. e
A few years ago the pullback policy
had made Baton Rouge. q good place
to get away from. At that .junctpre
men Of Judgment and liberal views,
while re- establishing the credit Of the
city, went to work zea!ously to bring
about the restoration Of the Capital.
Besides using judiciously, as the Sc
quel has shown, the city's funds, they
spent their own means and time and
succeeded in achieving that consum
nation, the effects of which are visi-
BILE through the improvements that
are going on all over the city, and
not later than yesterday, by the APP
pearance of a railway train opposite
the new Capitol.
Our mechanics find no difficulty in
procuring work from which they are
enabled to give bread to their fami
lies. In fine, the most hopeful feeling,
very justly pervades the community.
And now that new steamer is
about to appear on our great river,
bearing on her wheelhouse, as a COM
pliment, the name OF Baton Rouge,
there is found man who cries Out
against an appropriation of one hun

GENTS FURNISHING
STORE.
CORNER ELM & LAMAR STREETS,


The gratifying results which have
crowned our method of conducting this
Branch during the past season have
served but to "spur us up" in our en-
deavors to continue in our well-doing.
No fancy prices. A small profit on
large sales is quite sufficient for us.
This season as an indication of our
policy, we will offer in this store many
lines of staple Underwear, numerous
brands of Neck Scarls and Suspenders,
and several makes of Hosiery, for the
same prices at retail that other and
smaller dealers have to pay for the same
goods. OURWHITE DRESS SHIRTS
are of our own manufacture, and we are
satisfied with a manufacturers profit
only. OUR FANCY COLORED
SHIRTS are perfect fitting, and are cut
full size in both breast and length mea-
sure, Two collars with every shirt, and
many styles have detached Cuffs. We
are daily receiving choice selections of
New French Goods, embracing all the
Latest London, and New York and
Paris Novelties in Silk Handkerchiefs,
Linen Handkerchiefs, Dogskin Gloves,
Undressed Kid Gloves, Joinville Scarfs,
Windsor Scarfs, Mems Fine Jewelry.
Fancy Collars, New style Cuffs, Fancy
Colored Half Hose, and an endless var
iety of Fine Suspenders.

Boys & Childrens
CLOTHING STORE,
CORNER ELM & LAMAR STREETS.

The variety ofgoods we are now prepared
TO show in this store is perfectly won-
derful, nor is the assortment confined
to two or three different grades, for we
have dozens of styles of cut, scores of
patterns of VARYING and numberless
shades of colorngs in all the varied
qualities of goods, from the stoutest
Tweed to the finest French fabrics. II
is a useless waste of time to be "look-
ing around" hunting for the novel and
nobby styles for your boys. Come di-
rect to our store. We do not show
two or three styles and say, "That's all
we have, madam" but we can show
fifty styles, or more. No matter how
your taste may incline, if you will only
have the patience to look through our
stock, we can suit you, not alone in
quality and style, but also in that i'm
portant particular, the price; there will
be no trouble On that score, for we have
determined to take the wind out of the
sails" of all competitors, let the cost be
what it may. When we say this, we
mean business, and other houses, that
professedly make specially of Boys
Clothing" will this season have to take
a back seat, for if Low Prices and Good
Goods will command the trade, we are
going to command it.

every variety of Fabric and of every con-
ceivable Pattern. Where in previous
seasons we have shown ten styles, this
Spring we offer fifty styles, and, while
heretofore our prices have always been
LOWER THAN THE LOWEST, orr
tremendous purchases this season will
permit us to name such rediculously low
prices that the prices of former years
will, in comparison, seem quite high.
We have accomplished three things this
Spring, which cannot fail to please the
people, viz, we have improved our
styles; we have bettered our workman
ship; we have lowered our prices, which
Joined to the fact that we show an as
sortment from which to select larger
than would be the combined stocks of
all other clothiers in the city, renders
our store the only place in the State
where .ud.t Gus persons can get the best
value for the least money.

them be ever so low, we will sll our
goods for lower price. We have guar
anteed our prices to be the lowest, and
the matter Of cost shall not keep us from

15 can not fail to astonish you in the
