less money than you can pur-
chase it elsewhere. Why? Be
cause we are leaders in our
line and get the drop" on
competitors in our selections
and prices at which we buy.
Only one way to convince
you. Look around and get
everybody else's prices, and
then get ours and compare
them. When you see our
goods you will realize that
there is nothing else in town
to compare with them at the
same price. A dollar is not as
big as the driving wheel of a
Mogul engine, but it is big
enough to save on a ten dollar
Suit of Clothes.
We are not in business in
this town as beggars for pat
ronage-we do not ask you to
deal with us because we are
THE ONLY EXCLUSIVE DEALERS
in CLOTHING, GENTS
FURNISHING GOODS, &c,
in Henderson. But we do ask
you to compare our Goods,
our Prices, our Methods, our
Manners. We feel that we are
entitled to a liberal share of the
trade in Made up" Clothes
simply on our deserts, and for
having in stock everything in
our line that can be desired, all
of the best material, finest
make and lowest price.
The spirit Of the age tends
to show growing centraliza-
ton Of trade-a drying up of
small dealers whose limited
business compels them to
charge extortionate profits for
ancient and shop-worn goods.
The Successful Merchant of the |
day is the one who has the |
vim and courage to lift his bus
mess out of the range of buck
stering and whose extensive
sales make minimum profits |
possible. The large merchant
can do this easily. The larger
his sales the larger his pur-
chases, and the larger his pur-
chases the lower the cost. We
have the Largest Stock, conse-
we offer you the Larg-
est Assortment; we buy and
sell only the Best Qualities,
we offer you the
Best Goods; we do the Larg-
est Business, consequently we
offer you the Lowest Prices.
Come and see, we are al
ways glad to show our friends
our stock. If your

our claims your intel
igence will compel you to &C
knowledge that the place to

The Medical Profession.

The attitude of the medical profess
sion toward what is known as patent
medicines" is not at all unreasonable.
Thousands of these nostrums are Of
fered to the public every year. Some
of them are dangerous, and most of
them are futile. Swift's Specific Is.
s. S. we are then all glad to say, is
not classed among these nostrums.
1t has overcome the wholesome pre-
JUDGES Of physicians in all parts of
the country, and some OF the strong
est testimonials in its behalf come
from medical men who have used it in
their practice, and who do not hest
tate to endorse it's wonderful results.
This is extremely gratifying, but by
no means astonishing, for every claim
that is put forward in behalf of S. S.
s., is based on a series Of actual ex-
periments extended over a long period
of time.

so much business is yet unfinished
that it is very probable the session
will be extended.
The report of the elections commit

can, will be unseated.

He was sired by Mr. Frank Manning's ROM

CLEVELAND ON FREE COINAGE.

Last Thursday night meeting OF
the Reform Club was held in New
York City. and the event of the even
ing was the reading of letter from
ex-President Cleveland on the silver
bill before Congress. The letter is as
follows:
No. SIG Madison Avenue, Feb. 10, 1891.
e. Ellery Anderson. Esq. My Dear
Sir: | have this afternoon received
YOUR note inviting Inc to attend to-
morrow evening a meeting called Tor
TN purpose of voicing the opposition
of the business men Of our city TO
the free coinage of silver in the Uni
rod States | shall not he able to at
tend and address the meeting, as you
request, but | am glad that the bust
ness interests of New York are at last
70 be heard on the subject. 1t surely
cannot be necessary for me to make
a formal expression Of my agreement
with those who believe that the great
est perils would be- initiated by the
abolition of the scheme embraced in
the measure now pending IN Con
gress for an unlimited coinage OF sill
Yer at our mints. If we have devel-
oped an unexpected capacity for the
assimilation of a largely-increased
volume OF the currency, and even II
we have demonstrated the usefulness
of such an increase, these conditions
fall far short of insuring us against
disaster if in the present situation we
enter upon the dangerous and reck.
less experiment Of free, unlimited and
independent silver coinage. Yours,
very truly, GROVER CLEVELAND.
When this letter was published IN
the newspapers Of the country the
next morning it naturally created a
sensation, as the views therein ex-
pressed are directly opposite to the
views of many leading Democrats.
The politicians at once discussed the
letter as to its bearing on Mr.. Cleve-
lands political fortunes, and the con-
census of opinion seems to be that he
has greatly injured his chances for
the next presidential nomination.
Many persons profess to believe that
he has completely killed himself Po-
litically.
We think Mr.. Cleveland is right, as he
has always been right on great pub
lie questions. 1t may not have been
policy for him to have expressed HIM
self so freely at this time, but Mr..
Cleveland has never been policy
man. He has always had strong con-
victions and the courage to express
them, come what may. We believe
that the future will show his wisdom
in this as events have indicated his
Judgment in the past. He did an
apparently unpopular thing when he
took such firm stand against extrav-
agant and unnecessary pension leg
islation. But who today, in the light
of the ruinous drafts that are being
made on the Treasury, will not give
him credit for his honesty and fore
sight Then when that ringing let
ter of his, advocating the cause OF
tariff reform, startled the country
how lie was cursed and abused for
reckless fanatic. Yet on that very Is
sue, following the lines he laid down,
his party swept the country last No
vember from ocean TO ocean.
Grover Cleveland is a statesman,
and his counsels are wise. He is an
honest man, and his views are enti-
tied to respect. He is Democrat,
and his party will do well to follow
his leadership

ONE of the most important events
of the past week has been a little cpl
sode in which Governor Hill Of New
York and Editor Henry Watterson of
Kentucky are the chief figures. In
the Baltimore Sun of the 18th instant
letter purporting TO be from Mr..
Watterson to Mr. Hill was published.
In it the disguished editor ofthe COW
ier-Jomnal gave some very practical
advice to the ambitious Governor of
the Empire State, Hill was advised
not to buck up against the solid
Cleveland wall, and to bury all ill
feeling, if he had any, against that
gentleman. He was informed that
the people-many of them had their
suspicious that Hill had not acted
squarely in 1888, and that nothing
should be done to strengthen those
suspicious. The letter was one that
any good Democrat might write 10
another good Democrat, even though
il was quite frank and unequivocal.
Governor Hill read the letter in the
newspapers, and at once came out in
an interview. He said he had never re
ceived such letter from Mr.. Waiter
son; that he believed it was a for
gerry; that he regarded it as imper-
tinent and insulting, and so on This
elected a reply from Mr.. Watterson
that the letter was written by him
and that he had mailed it to Govern
or Hill. Here the matter ends, so far
as Hill and Watterson have said any
thing. 1t seems strange that Govern
or Hill never received the letter, but
lit may be only another instance Of
our inefficient mail facilities. But
one thing is certain-the Kentucky
editor gave some very excellent ad-
vice, and we think Governor Hill will
do well to heed it.
