Christmas Week
Bargains!

IL, perchance, the Christmas gift you
received was a sum Of money, we can Of
fer you immense opportunities for its
profitable investment, IL you inspect our
assortments this week-and as early as
you can make 1t convenient, for the best
bargains won't keep.
Our store is full of BaSgains. We can't
undertake to describe them, but mas
much as we gave no room in our holiday
stock to the myriad of gimcracks (Which
many stores offer with the idea that the
shopper at Christmas time will invest In
things which would not be marketable at
any other season., what we Offer now is
as desirable aud attractive as IL was be-
fore Christmas.
A good many things naturally suffered
in their appearance from the rush and
handling of the Christmas trade. Such
regular goods as hosiery, underwear,
linens. blankets, fine dress goods, gar-
ments, furs, gloves, and handkerchiefs
received more overhauling than ordinary,
and while they are not i'm the least dam
aged, we feel the advisability OF marking
prices way down on lots of these things.
Our reputation Is for new, fresh, choice
goods in appearan ce as we'll as in any
other quality, TO say nothing of the bal
ance of useful and pretty fancy goods.
all these must be cleared up before the
New Year.
Our magnificent Christmas trade left
comparatively little Of any one line, but
an early call will secure immense oppor-
tunities for a few excellent bargains in
almost any department.

TIE LOTTERY NO NOR ..

The withdra wal Of it's demand
for a new charter by the Louis
iania lottery is one of the fri
umphs of the fifty first Congress.
The card published yesterday
by John A, Morris was sur
prise not only to tie State of
Louisiana but to the entire coun-
try as well, and today celebra-
tons of Joy are announced in
many parts of America.
The public may reasonably
Judge of the value of a lot terry
charter when it is understood
that the State of Louisiana was
offeren an annual payment of
81, $50, 900 for a f: anchise to ex-
tend for twenty-five years. In
addition to this enormous cost,
the expenses of conductingit can
hardly be estimated; and when
all these sub sides and expenses
shall have been substracted,
those who own the lottery must
make their millions before the
miserable dupes who invest their
money in lottery tickets can re-
ceive anything. It has been the
most preposterous swindle of
this generation, and had Louis
lana been permitted to fight ont
the battle and yielded to the de-
bauchery of the lottery leaders,
the name of the State would
have lisped with scorn by every
honest citizen of the Union.
Politically, the issue has done
great harm in Louisiana. Both
of the political parties have been
split in twain; it is now hoped
the ia :tional difference in both
parties will b reconciled and the
campaign will end i'll a square
fight on old party lines.
The country at large is To be
congratulated on the successful
removal Of this great evil from
our midst.
