WHILE everybody is anxious to
see it rain it would be almost too
late to do the corn crop any good.
Old corn is already made and
young corn has suffered about as
much as it is capable Of suffering
already. Cotton is essentially dry
plant, and if it should rain and then
clear off hot right away it would
cause the squares to shed.

It is an established fact that after the Fourth of
July the season for selling
S{U8{{836}{}S@ GOODS
Is partially over, although several months remain
when these goods can be used nicely but chances
for selling diminish somewhat.
We shall endeavor to cOntrOvert this idea by Of
|fering special inducements to buyers.
We have MARKED DOWN the entire balance of Om
Summer Goods with view to close out everydol-
lars WORTH and we are satisfied that we can make
it worth anyones while to call and seeus and real
ize the exceptional values we are Offering
A great many of our customers were surprised
at some
VERY STARTLING FIGURES
that we made lately, they broke the record, as we
meant they should do. Our store is always
crowded with keen, bright and intelligent Gus
toners, and they say it PAYS THEM TO COME.
We have just received another lot Of those nice
vests for ladies wear the price STILL only 10
cents each.
We have also secured the full line of samples of
a very large importer of buckles; these goods are
superior to anything that has been here this season
and the prices we ask for them would not pay the
import duty. They will not last long, so come
early and have your choice.
We have also some new patterns of embroider-
ed fOuncing with Vandyke point, these are very
pretty and cheap too
Wide-awake buyers will find our store full of
Big, Brilliant Bargains
We have got the stock of the season and for the
