a Complete Establishment.

There are but few towns of equal or
greater size, that have as many large
business houses as Abilene. This state
ment has become and will remain a tru-
ism. And among those that stand at
the head of the list, the firm of Irion &
Armitage is prominent. We enjoyed
the pleasure of being shown through
this immense establishment, and with
the exception of clothing and groceries,
everything that is needed for the COM
plete furnishing of a home is kept in
stock. Queensware, WillOwware, Tin
ware, Stoves, &C.; lamps, sewing ma
chimes, organs, tables, chairs, etc.,
fill the lower floor. The upper floor is
given up to furniture, and all qualities
and styles are represented. Furniture
In sets and single pieces at prices to
suit the purchaser. Irion & Armitage
stand at the head of house-furnishing
firms, and those who contemplate be-
ginning housekeeping as well as those
who are old and experienced in the needs
of a comfortable home, should remem-
Der this fact. The firm will take great
pleasure in showing all interested
through their establishment, and the
time so devoted by the sight-seer wiz
be well expended.

Seemingly Unfair.

From several pOStOfficeS of this coun-
ty comes the complaint that the Re-
FLECTOR is not regularly received.
Subscribers failtO get theirREFLECTORs
for two or three consecutive weeks.
while at other times the papers are
held back several days beyond the regu-
lar time of delivery. These complaints
do not come from one person or from
one post Office, but they have been nu-
merOus and widespread. until it looks
as if the REFLECTOR was suppressed
and Disseminated against because it is
a democratic paper. There is nothing
right, nothing honorable in this course,
which Will meet with the condemnation
OF republicans as well as democrats.
And there is no cause for it. Unusual
pains are taken at this Office to properly
and legibly write all names, and to cor
rectly label all packages. The county
mail is taken TO the Abilene post Office
every Thursday morning, and REFLEC
TOR subscribers should receive their
papers on time each week. The RE-
FLECTOR trusts that it will not have
occasion to recur to this matter again,
but its subscribers very justly expect to
regularly receive their papers, and the
REFLECTOR will do all in its power to
see that their expectations are realized.

Many of our pretty young girls are met
amOrphosed for the time being, from
their captivating beauty into the sinil-
itude OF weH-developed cabbage heads,
and hide themselves accordingly. The
cruel. but not fatal disease will soon
have its course, and faces that are now
distorted out of all proportion will as
sumo their proper size again. Salina
Herald.
The above paragraph contains an in
suit so terrible and uncOmpromising in
its nature that no well regulated Salina
girl can afford to pass it by with impu-
nifty. No condition of things, however
desperate, could change an Abilene girl
into the ''similitude of a well-developed
cabbage head" The perennial beauty
of the Abilene girl is a joy forever, and
AIilman saw her as he wrote:
Beauteous as vision seen in dreamy sleep,
By holy maid on Delphi's haunted Steep,
Mid the dim twilight of the laurel grove:
Too fair to worship, too divine to love-.
Poor Salina, whose young girls are
naught but the ''similitude of well-de-
veloped cabbage heads!'' o, lovely
Venus, thou to whom was given the
golden apple, avenge, through love
stricken Mars, this heinous affront to
the unfortunate fair of degenerate
Salina.
