and substantial firms in South

Killen, OF Dawson. The junior
member Of this firm, Mr.. J. A.
Horsley, has just returned from
the city of New York, where he
spent several weeks in the judi
cious selection Of his goods, and
he is therefore prepared to meet
the wants Of his customers iii
every particular, whether as to
quality and style Of goods or
price. Mr.. Horsley has grown UP
right among the people Of Terrell
and is known to be thoroughly
honest and as merchant has no
superior in the country. He has
just such a stock OF goods as will
please everybody and be certain
therefore to give him a call. The
genial Frank Clark is now associ-
ated with this firm and will al
ways meet his old friends with a
smile. Try him.

Meeting at Dover.

A protracted meeting has been
in progress this week at Dover,
conducted by the pastor, Rev. P.
S. Twitty. 1t was expected that
the Rev. Sam Jones would be pres
ent this week to aid the pastor in
the meeting, but was prevented.
We do not think, however, that
our friends at Dover have cause
to feel any disappointment 50 long
as they have Brother Twitty to
preach for them. We regard him
as one Of the very best preachers
we ever heard, and take him every
day, one with another, we don't
know but what he is the BEST.
The JOURNAL has many good
friends in the region round about
Dover and we are always glad to
know of their pleasure and sue
cess.

MAN-HOW TO MANAGE HIM.

.O.-
How shall you manage your husband"
will tell you, M dear, II can;
He's really wonderful creature,
That trouble some animal-Tnan.
Yes, really wonderful creature,
Inconsistent and dreadfully queer,
But you'll soon know the secret by learning
The MODCs oPEKANDI, my dear.
If he stays ont too late in the evening,
Partaking of supper and wine,
Don't prove him q base fabricator,
When he comes, by asking the time,
For he surely will tell You the town clock,
When it struck he had counted II over
Just three times, before it had done,
III didn't, just call me a dr0vcr.'
And then if his hat in the morning
Is smaller by far than his head,
DON'T think by the merest allusion,
That his lordship went tipsy to bed.
But rather regard the occurrence,
4 phenomenon puZZlingly queer.
With strange look ofmysiitlcation
In your eyes, if he's watching, my dear.
And don't fail TO sew on his buttons,
And mend all his clothing with care,
Don't tease him for money for shopping,
Don't frown when he acts like bear.
Don't tel him too often my deary,
That your head is aching with pain,
Lest he whisper way down in his bosom.
%, wish / was single again.
Don't tell HIM that Mary, the housemaid,
And Ann The obostreperous CO ok.
Refused to receive your suggestions,
With even so much aS look.
Don't tell him how very annoying,
You so OXEN have found it to be,
To be told 70 get out ofthe kitchen.
And don't come i bothcrin' of men
Bnt always seem cheerful and happy,
And always look pleasant and gay,
Than frown there is nothing more potent
For driving ones husband away.
And thus you must ever keep striving,
You Will find an excellent plan,
For whatever yOu do, dear. remember,
That your husband is ONLY man.
