No FOOliShlGSS.'

The dull season is approaching
when every one will begin to econo-
mise. This will be practiced by one
and all alike, irrespective of vocation
or calling, and we appreciate the fact.
We also recognize the fact of its inn
perative necessity and are ourselves
prepared for it.
The business man, especially the mer-
chant who does not read and study the
signs of the times is apt to be fail
ure, and as we have too much ambi-
ton in the first instance and greater
desire in the second to keep our fam
lilies from want, we DO not propose to
fail from lack of energy necessary to
bring into practice this preventive.
Therefore we desire to say that we
are prepared for emergencies. Our
stock of clothing and wearing appa-
rel is complete. We can fit men and
boys with every article of clothing
worn, even including gloves, umbrel-
las and walking canes. 1t is our bus
mess to do this, and we can do it
better than any one and for less
money.
Ours is the store to trade with. We
study our patrons interests, and can
satisfy all who give us trial, on that
point.
Try us once and you will call again.
Yours, economically.

The third lecture under the auspices
OF the Caddo Teachers Association was
delivered to very large and apprecia-
tive audience at the 'Grand" on Tues
day evening. The lecturer, Hon. Hen
ry w. Watterson, intellectually needs
no introduction to the public, in ap-
pearance and manner he is cultured
gentleman. His subject "Money and
Morals" was handled with the genious
of deep and broad minded thinker, and
he opened avenues OF thought, that if
followed up will certainly result in great
good, not only to this community, but
to the parish, the state and finally to
our country at large. He is patriot,
scholar, and humorist, and succeed
ed in making his weighty subject, reach
the brainiest, and the weakest of his
audience with force and appreciation
equal to their power of acceptance.
His argument on perseverance is the
only point upon which feel doubtful of
a general good result, but earnestly
hope that it will be seen by every men,
Der of his attentive audience, from
his well taken point Of view.
His humorous illustration of the fact
that If crime be allowed TO escape legal
punishment, it becomes contagious, as
related in the incident OF the three
bank directors who followed each other
successfully in the crime of embezzle-
ment, was lesson most urgently need
