The New WAY,

Mr.. George Dullnig has adopted a
new system of business, as fully ex-
planned in his circular published in
this issue, that is of mutual advan-
tage to the merchant and his GUS
toner, inasmuch as it saves the mer'
chant much labor and trouble, afford
ing him better protection, and it pro-
tects the customer by preventing mis-
takes that may occur in the rush of
businkss moreover, it secures the
lowest cash prices for all he buys. If
cash is paid in advance, further dis
count of two per cent is allowed. This
is the Allison Coupon system; in
coupon books are issued valued at g,
S., SO and $50, being accepted in pay
ment. The result is that in buying,
all the coupon holder has to do, is to
pay in coupons, and business is facili-
tated.
A LIGHT reporter has tried the sys-
tenn and finds that it works admir-
ably in every way. TheLIGHT there
fore recommends its readers to read
Mr.. Dullnig's advertisement care
fully, and then to give it a trial, be-
lieviDg it will give them satisfaction.

The Boss BoSSiSm.

81 saw yesterday" said working
ing man to a LIGHT reporter, "a scene
that 1 did not expect to see in this
city. An Englishman has the con-
tract for excavating the cellars of the
new buildings, at the corner of Market
and Navarro streets, and a number of
white and colored men are employed
there. The boss foreman is colored
man, who acted in way the negro
drivers were said to act in slave days,
and ordered and abused both white
and black men about in way that
excited indignant comments from by
ISLANDERS. The white men were ask
ed "why do you stand this ?'' and
the significant reply was, "our fami-
lies must live and our teams most be
Kept up, but one day that "fellah''
will strike the wrong man and there
will be trouble"

For Bigamy.

Mrs. E. r. Williams and two daugh-
tiers, from Orlando, Fla, arrived in
the city yesterday in search of her
husband, E. r. Williams, who she
had heard was here, married to an
other woman. She investigated the
records and found that r. G. Will
liams, a conductor on the Arkansas
Pass railway, had taken out license to
marry Rosa l.. Hughey, in October
last. She said that was the man and
before Justice Heron swore out war
rant for his arrest on the charge of
bigamy. Williams is not in the city
and it is thought is in Fort Worth
or Waco.

To My Friends and Patrons:

I wish to notify my customers and
friends in general, that have adopt
ed the "Allison Coupon Check Sys-
tenn" in my retail department.; 1t is
a great improvement on the old pass
book or credit system, possessing the
following advantages to customers,
WILT gives the merchant no chance
to commit errors in the hurry and ex-
element of business; it prevents that
oft occurring error of having the bills
of one party charged to the account of
another, and gives general feeling
of confidence between the merchant
and his customers. The books in
question contain coupons to the
amount of 81, S., SO, and $40 respec-
lively. They are comprised of a series
of perforated checks ranging from D
cents to 81 in value. When the GUS
toner makes a purchase, the book is
handed to the clerk who takes from
the book, checks to the amount of the
purchase, and no charge is booked for
the goods. When the book is issued,
the name of the customer is inscribed
on its face; the customer in turn signs
a note for the value of the book. The
note is kept as record, and this is
all the bookkeeping that is done. A
discount of per cent. is allowed if the
book is paid for when issued, besides
allowing purchaser the benefit of net
cash prices on goods. A more thorough
explanation will be given upon in
quiry at my office, retail department..
Very respectfully,
Lift GEO. DULLNIG.
