preaching.

In every cline the seasons change,
and now that Spring. beautiful in floral
grandeur, is near, it behooves merchants
to come out in their usual style to an
nounce clearing out sales, for various
reasons given. DESTINATIONS announce
ments in glowing style, wanting room
and endless other means are resOrted to
to draw guileless public on the stated
devise. Selling off below cost to make
room, in order to catch trade. This old
beaten path has been used so often and
hence has become stale. The fact is, the
season is over, and while quite a large
supply of goods remain undispOsed of
and why should these be not? 1t is the
legitimate "modus Operandi' for all
merchants TO dispose of surplus stock
and yet not sacrifice and make an I'M
sophisticated public believe that they
have been possessed of a great touch of
lberality on a sudden, saying goods
given away" etc. This is parody in
the manner of doing legitimate bust
ness by strict business men.
However, good sound arguments and
reasoning with sensible people will al
ways convince, anu lnus IL Is tndI l..
WolfsOn comes to the front and an
nounces to his many patrons that the
time for taking stuck has passed by. A
large quantity of goods in all the various
branches in his establishment are I'M
sold, his marks of cost and sale are so
near alike that very little can be made
in reduction of prices. Yet results will
tell every time, and fair dealing has
been the chief factor in the success in
the race for trade among the business
men in this country. Mr.. Wolfson
found that he can dispose of limited
amount of stock at low figures, but will
not sell below cost, for il means ruin, he
will not give away goods for the same
reason, but will dispose for cash at such
figures as TO offer bargains unpreceden-
ted to his patrons, as well as to enable
him to make room ior the increasing
spring stock, clothing, hats, furnishing
goods, and everything in the way Of
ladies dress and fancy goods.
These late winter offers will only
hold good for a very short time,
and having heretofore kept good faith
with his patrons and the people of
Southwest Texas, they will find it to
their interest to come and see for them
selves. Mr.. Wolfson means just what
he says, and now is the time for cheap
and low bargains in everything. l-2-Gt

The habit of administering quiniHe in

lie reform. Not only the public, bnt
professional men have adopted, not Who'll

tute for the Vrrncions alkalOid. The cOnSe-

eventually failing to produce any appre-
ciable effect, except the doses were in
creased. \ course OF the liItters, pcrsis-
tently followed, breaks up the worst at
tacks aud prevents their return. The
evidence in favor OF this sterling specific
and household medicine is of no amhigu-
ous character, but positive and satisfac-
tory, and the sources whence it proceeds
are very numerous.

Hon. A. H. Longlno for Congress.

A correspondent Of the Pearl
River News proposes Hon. A. Fl.
Longino, as a compromise candidate
for Congress from the 9th district,
and the suggestion is one likely to
meet with very general favor. Mr..
Lon2iEo is one of the finest types of
Young Democracy-talented, popu-
lar and ever loyal TO the party-com
manding the entire confidence of the
people, and in him the sovereigns of
the 9th district would have a leader
Of whom they might well feel proud
We learned, while on the coast q few
days ago, that there was a decided
inclination among the people in that
section to ignore all of the anneunc-
ed candidates and concentrate upon
a new man to their liking and that
Longino would probably be that
man. The delegates in Jackson and
Harrison have been appointed, but
are free and uninstrucIed 10 act as
they please, and this gives strength
to the opinion expressed. Hancock,
Green, Perry, Marion and Jones will
probably go to the district conven-
ton on August 18th, likewise free to
act as they please, and il MIR. LOngi-

The Duty OF the Hour.


We now have IL IN our power TO
vote the saloon uut uI existence.
Its continuance in Our midst must
rest upon us. In this country where,
the citizen is sovereign, we can
SHIFT the responsibility upon no
other power. Let us, therefore, or
g hnize, unite our energies, and ban
ish this curse from our homes, from
our society and from our land. Let
us prohibit the licensing, by law, nj
those places where seeds Of crime
poverty and distress are sown.
But" says one, prohibition docs
not prohibit the sale of whisky" TO
this We reply, you could not more
severely condemn the men engaged
in this traffic than to say what you
have said. BY this you say they
will disregard government, violate
law and skulk behind trap doors
and blind tigers" IN order to carry
on the business of sowing the oceds
If crime and death, for few dollars.
You give the strongest reason why
this class of men should be bound,
hand and foot, by the strongest fet
tiers that can be forged by the law,
and made to bend in submission to
its mandates. You present a forci,
ble argument why the law abiding
citizens should wage unceasing war
fare against this class of law break
ers. Laws prohibiting theft do not
prevent every one from stealing that
which belongs to his fellow man, but
without such law we would have
nothing we could call our own with
any degree of certainty. Our prop
erty would be at the mercy of others.
Laws prohibiting murder do not re-
strain every man from taking the
life OF another, but who would live
IN Mississippi if our laws prohibit
ing murder were repealed? 1t is as
much our duty to prohibit that
which which leads inevitably to
crime as it is to prohibit the com
mission Of crime. Government has
no right to license public drinking
saloon, and authorize the erection Of
such temptation in the way of good
citizen, then provide punishment for
the commission Of crime while under
| the influence of this dark "beverace
of HELP which it has tempted him
to drink. The law should not
license n man to sell whisky to Il
sober citizen until he becomes ha-
bitual drunkard then punish him
for selling to him whom it has per-
mitted to ruin. The law should not
license men, for money considera
ton, to sell that which DESTROYS rea-
son, produces Incidence, begetS con
tentions, incites crimes, debauches
manhood, cripples labor, absorbs
capital, curses homes, fills asylums,
Peoples prisons and brings want and
distress to society.
The principles of justice, upon
which our government is founded.
and the welfare of the people who
constitute that government, forbid
the continuance ofthe licensed dram
shop in our midst. They demand
that the pestilence that "wasteth at
MONDAY" be banished from the WAYS
wherein men walk. Therefore let
the people rise in the power of that
sovereignty winch is theirs, and
crush the monster whose fetid
breath poiSons the atmosphere in
which we live. Prohibit the saloon
wage war upon aicohol-the enemy
Of mankind. Decide now upon
which side to draw your lance
There is no middle ground. The
battle must be fought; the victory
must be won.

Public School Notice.

On the first Monday in August the
County Board of Education will meet at
the Court House for the purpose of divid-
ing the county into School Districts. This
is very important, tedious and trouble
some duty, requiring much patience and
study. The points TO I've kept in view 10y
this Board arc-(lst), that each school
district shall contain at least IL square
miles; and (2ud), ut least IS educable
children, i. C., children between the ages
If 5 and II years. Of course q school dis
trict may embrace larger territory than
II square miles and more edneahle chill
dren than 45 but these are the minimum
numbers according to the new School
Law of lSS6.
Again, the school districts for the white
and coloIcd children must not be the
same. The districts may be co-teFminous;
but identical. / hope the County Board
leach in his own district will study the
! district thoroughly, both geographically
and geographically lin this distriCling
point of view); aud when they meeI each
other on the LIST Monday i'll August they
will he prepared to work together intelli-
gently, efficiently and promptly in this
! difficult task.
