Comps Show

Has come and gone. II drew q larger
crowd than ever attended similar perfor-
nance ut this place and we believe gave gen.
eral satisfaction. The menagerie presented
several new features, of which the most no.
table was living hippopotamus' Madam
Zuella's performances in the circus were also
something decidedly new and sensational.
The show in short was "a big thing"

The Reason Why.

San Marcos offers superior attractions to
the buying public is the completeness OF
the immense stocks of goods carried by her
various merchants. The close and constant
competition everlastingly waged by her am
bilious and enterprising dealers has brought
prices down to the lowest figures possible.
San Marcos has well earned the reputation
of being the best general market between
San Antonio and Austin, and her merchants
are glad to have the opportunity to prove to
the surrounding country that they are con-
stantly duplicating the lowest prices offered
by either of the above named towns. Now,
on the eve of the best trading season ever
known in this country, San Marcos announces
to everybody that she is going to do her best.
If any town in West Texas beats her, it will
have to buckle down to business. The stocks
of goods ordered for the fall trade go far
ahead of anything ever known in the past,
and they are going to be sold, without the
shadow of doubt If any man believes
that these goods are going to fade, rust,
mold or rot. on the hands of the merchants,
just let him visit San Marcos this fall.
Every department of business is repre-
scented by more than one house. The pres
sure of competition is sufficient protection
to the purchaser The stranger will find
dozen men, or more, dealing largely in gro
ceries about the same number carry dry
goods, while several merchants handle
hardware. Three of them deal in it ex-
tensively. If you want furniture, saddles,
harness, croskery &C., there are several
immense stocks from which man can make
his own selection without being compelled
either to pay the price asked by one dealer
or 90 without. If prices at one do not suit,
he can 90 to another. The man who offers
the best bargains is the man who sells. IL is
pick and fling, for the best and cheapest
The impulse given to business by red hot
rivalry in all its departments will always tell
in prices, and in the quantities of goods sold.
The time honored saying that competition
Is the lie OF lTdue - IOuANANiJ
in San Marcos. The man who believes he
can get as good bargains in dry goods, gro
ceries. or furniture in town where the
prices are controlled by single dealer In
dulges very expensive delusion.
But the man who knows anything OF BUS
mess needs not to be told that goods always
viii, and always must be sold cheaper IN a
town where one man can't control prices
The business men of San Marcos are equip
ping themselves for a big trade this fall and
If heavy stocks of goods at low prices vii
count for anything, they viii getit They
are going to work for the trade They are
going to work early and late They are
going to work ha-d, and they ask those who
have been m the habit Of going to Austin

ARKAN sAs GIELs ON DUTY.

The temperance wave rolls on its triumph
ant course through Arkansas, and the papers
from that State that reach us by every mail
tell us of the closing of liquor saloons in all
directions. As usual, little of the ludi-
crous occasionally shows itself in connection
with the spirit of social reform that is so
strikingly developing its power. An instance
is mentioned in the Pine Bluff Eagle, which
relates: "The New Year callers yesterday
took new departure in this time-honored
custom and, without exception, resolutely
abstained from drinking wine at the various
houses at which they partook of refreshments.
The young men are certainly to be con-
graduated upon this fact" The con-
gratulations certainly appear due to the
self-denying young gentlemen of Pine Bluff
until the admiration excited by the practice
of virtue in spite Of all custom is damped by
the conclusion of tae Eagle encomiums, which
informs the reader that "it is true the young
ladies assisted them very materially in re-
manning true to their pledges by placing moth
ing stronger than coffee before them to tempt
their appetites." Noble young gentlemen! The
fact, in simple English, is that if the wearers
of cravats and boots would have liked a
drink of egg-nog or old rye, the girls ,oere bound
not TO let then, hare Il. 1t is to the determined
girls and high-principled matrons of Arkan-
sas that is mainly due the wondrous change
that promises to renovate society in the fine
State of Arkansas
