A PROMINENT MERCHANT WILL
SOON RETIRE.
Quite a Surprise In Business Circles.

As we were about to go to press
one of our citizens approached US
and intimated that Mr.. L. Phillip,
proprietor Of the Star Clothing House,
and one o.. our oldest and most hen
ored business men, had Determined
to retire from business. As soon as
We heard this we hunted up that gem
tleman and upon direct inquiry found
it to be true. MIR. Phillip has long
been identified with the business
of our city and after an eventful ca
reer has established reputation
second to no merchant in the state;
consequently we regret to lose him
from our business circles. However,
Mr.. Phillip will continue to live here
and give his attention to his chill
dren who are now growing up.
When our interview with him was
oyer and we had almost taken our
departure he instructed us to an
nounce in the most fitting manner Of
what he intended to d" and to adver.
tise his SALE Our readers will find
his 'sad'' in this issue and those who
are not acquainted with Mr.. Phillip
can rest assured that every thing h,
advertises will be strictly regarded
and that when he says ''retirement
from business" he means it. NJ
word is necessary to those who hav'
traded with him. Call and see him.

STARTLING STATEMENTS.
An Announcement Of Vast Importance
to the People af Mexico and
the Surrounding Country.

It is fact patent to everybody
that times are hard, that money is
scarce and that prices must be regu
ulated by the condition of the pub
lie purse. The days of fancy prices
and flush purchases have passed and
the business house which recognizes
this fact is the house that deserves
the first consideration of the public.
People do not want to blow. or brag
or talk. They want facts. bona fide
reductions and first class goods at
rock bottom prices. There is one
firm in this city that hopes to gain
the commands and confidence of the
public by d ing what it states it will
do. It is a mltter, therefore, of
special Importance when the Jeweiry
House of J. Nj. Pollard announces
such a grand reduction on the prices
of its g DDS as it does in to-day's S
issue, and the people of Mexico and
surrounding country should avail
themselves of the opportunity and
make their purchases now before
the assortment is broken. 46-1t.
