Only Cost Me $3.50.

All my neighbors and friends are going to see
Mrs. DOBSON next week and see the Old Chap
also. He is selling piles of goods, and he tells
me his trade is increasing every week. His sales
up to this time are about 33 per cent ahead of last
year, and if things do not change, if the DOB
son fever is not checked, there is no telling how
much he will sell next year. Many persons are
going to make change next year, and nearly all
that have heard say anything aboutit, are going
to try the Old Chap. They have nearly all caught
the DOBSON fever. They tell me when you once
get to trading there it is very hard to get away,
they treat you so well, sell you goods so low and
never sell you anything that is not good without
telling you, and never, under any circumstances
do they misrepresent anything to make sales
Children can buy there justas cheap as the most
experienced buyer. Well, Jack,

Facts are worth more than theories. An
Iowa correspondent, whom We know to be
strictly ,eliable, gives us the following bit
ofexperience: "1n January, 1880, bought

mare with filly foal eight months old, got

three left. For one Of them--four years
old this spring. have refused $500; for a
yearling, past, have refused $3.50; the
third is certainly worth as much more.'
The writer hereof has seen the original
purchase and all Of the produce. and he
has implicit confidence in the foregoing
statement. The three.quarter blood mare
has been bred each year to an imported

TEACHERS INSTITUTE,

S.lN d,
ALVARADo, TEX, July q, 1888.
AT the close OF the summer normal
institute, held at this place, the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That we approve and ap-
preeiate the action of the last legisla-
ture in making provision for summer
normal Institutes, to be held in each
senatorial district, believing this to
be an effective means of rendering
more efficient the present teachers of
the state. And we would recommend
that, to insure a better attendance,
and to render the Institutes more val
liable, the principals be authoriZ-
ed to issue certificates that shall be
valid for one year in the senatorial
district in which each institute is
held.
Resolved, That we approve the ac-
ton of the state teachers association,
recently held in Galveston, in appoint
ing committee to recommend to the
next legislature such changes in the
present school law as may be neces-
sary to remove what is Objectionable
and supply what is required to render
our system of public schools more
efficient.
Resolved, That we express our
thanks to Profs. J. M. Mcleod, j. M.
Carlyle, p. G. Hudson, Gen. j. G..
Moore, and others, for valuable SER
vices rendered the institute during
the session.
Resolved, That we tender our graft
tude to our Jealous principal. Prof.
Abram Weaver, for his faithful effort
and efficient services in promoting the
interests of the institute.
Resolved, That we express our
grateful appreciation of the courtesies
and kindness shown us by the citizens
of Alvarado during our pleasant stay
among them.
Resolved, That the secretary be di-
rected to furnish a copy of these reso-
lutions, for publication, to the Austin
STATESMAN, with the request that
papers interested please copy.

THE SOUTHERN EXPOSITION.
Arthur Opens the Ball-Immense
Crowds, Etc.

LOUISVILLE, August L. To-day
was a general public holiday, with no
business Whatever. With the first
streak of daylight crowds OF people
began pouring into the city from
were doubled up and then packed,
and by 8 o'clock the streets were so
filled that it was difficult to pass
along the sidewalks.
The president rested well last night,
and was ready by IL o'clock this
morning to take his part in the exer-
cises of the day. The party left the
Calf House in carriages, escorted by a
body of police and local military or
ganizations, and moved by the most
direct route to the exposition build
ings, there being a perfect oyf-
tion the entire distance, the
thousands of people yelling them
selves hoarse as the distinguished
party passed them.
The great main building, capable OF
holding 10000 people, was filled COM
pletely and the crowd was too thick
for comfort. President Duport, of
the exposition, welcomed the preSi-
dent in fitting speech, to which Gen.
Arthur gracefully responded and con-
cluded by starting the vast machinery
and pronouncing the exposition open.
The crowd was wild with enthusiasm
The presidential party leaves fol
Chicago tonight.
The managers of the exposition are
most agreeably surprised at the un-
looked for crowds on the first day
and say there is no possibility of its
not being a grand success.
