ENERGY AND PUSH.
A Few Words Concerning one of
the Most Enterprising Mer-
chants in this Section
OF C0un Try.

This is an age of competition.
Men struggle against each other
in order to gain fame and fortune.
Those who are successful in satis-
fly ing the wants OF the public for
the least money, are destined t.
mount the top rounds of the ladder.
In our own good town of Bolivar
we have ambitious men; we have
public spirited men-men who de
81 re to succeed themselves and who
are anxious to see the public pros
per. Among this class, we desire
to mention the name of Mr.. J. A.
Barrett, one of the leading mer-
chants of Hardeman County. BY
close attention to business and fair
and honest dealing with his fellow
man, Barrett has been successful
In building up a trade Of which any
young merchant has just cause TO
feel proud. No eoun try store IN
all Of Tennessee, or The South for
that matter, presents more at
tractive appearance than his. He
is an experienced judge of goods,
watches the market closely, buys
for cash, consequently CAN offer his
patrons rare inducements. He ca
tiers to the wants of all. The
wealthy can find in his stock hand
some fabrics from which to select,
and those in ordinary circumstan-
ces cannot tail to appreciate the
numerous bargains in his mammoth
stock. 1t was not our Intention to
quote prices in this article, but
Barrett offers such rare inducements
that we ca mot refrain from mem
tioning a few. For instance he
sells best quality Brown Domestic
at five cents per yard. Calico he
offers at two and half cents. BY
special arrangements with the mills
he can sell Jeans Clothing at rock
bottom prices. In Gents Fur
nishing Goods he is the recognized
leader. OYercoats and heavy Win
ter Wraps in endless quantities.
In fact, in every department his
prices are bedrock and his goods
are tip-top.
Over BarretL;s store floats an i'm.
mense flag, upon which is inscribed
the words, Death TO High Prices. >
Beneath The folds of this flag, a
force of experienced statesmen, led
by the invincible Barrett. are ever
ready to attend to the public's wants.
| The first grey streaks of dawn find
the doors of his establishment wide
open, and the mid night oil ire.
quently directs hargain-hunters to
his house. While others sleep,
Barrett has his mind on his busl-
ness, devislng ways to increase bis
trade and please bis patrons. The
public has friend indeed in this
enterprising man.
He has inaugurated q new idea
in the Dry Goods business, and one
that is highly appreciated. Be.
sides furnishing you full value fol
your money ne gives away a hand
some premium. Several months
ago he offered fifty dollar sewing
machine and made such a decided
hit that he has determined to offer
q more expensive and valuable
| prize-this time in the shape of a
handsome top buggy, which is on
exhibition every day In front of the
store. All who spend five dollars
in cash are given ticket, emitting
the holder to a chance at the
buggy.
Another thing Barrett does is
10 purchase country produce OF
every description, butter. eggs,
chickens, beeswax, cotton, in fact
anything raised in the country he
will give you the highest price for.
4 our can't DO better than to sell to
and buy from Barrett. 1w.
