will soon be upon US. Two or three
weeks will see the harveSteTS and NOW
ers in the fields Our farmers are real
izing this, and the call for machines is
almost unprecedented. The favoriteS

Those who contemplate purchasing
binders or mowers should look at this
favorite make before giving an order.

trasted the condition of the country in

that the Nation which sins against its

Silks! Silks! Siks!!!!

1t is now foregOne conclusion
that n. + Bishop & Co. carry the
largest stock of silks carried by any
house in this county. Our special
drives in all silk surahs 10 and 20
inches wide at IS and 85c are being
picked up by appreciative customers.
Our colored gros grains at s1.OO are
unsurpassed and our genuine India
silks mot China Z of yard wide,
are especially desirable for summer
and evening wear. Our black
silks at S5c, Sl,OO, l.25, 1.35, 1.5O,
Les, l.S5, 200 and 2.25, beyond any
doubt surpass any other line
shown in Abilene. If you want to
buy good silk and buy them for less
money than you can buy them else
where, buy them of a. E. Bishop &
