iority of our Reading Circles. Now

At some time between this and the

having a meeting Of all the sub

TO DESTROY CHINCH BUGS.
A Central Station for Distributing
Infection Needed.

Reports from various sections Of the
country are to the effect that chinch
bugs are quite numerous and though
kept down by the rains will increase
rapidly when dry weather comes
again. Something should be done at
once toward fighting the bugs. Many
farmers of this county have great faith
in Prof. Shows remedy and are in
favor OF giving it a thorough trial. In
Allen county last week the commits
sioners appointed man to 90 to
Lawrence where he will study care
fully, under Prof. Snow and his at
tendants, the methods used to propa.
gate the disease, and he will then re-,
turn and establish a station at lola fol
distributing the infection. Sub-sta'
tons will be established at Other
places in the county II it is deemed
necessary.
Such a course would be a good one
for Dickinson county. Or, II thu
commissioners would not handle tn,
matter the farmers themselves nigh
send for infection and station b.
maintained in Abilene where the in
fected bugs might be procured by al
easily. 1t would save thousands o
dollars IL the infection is worthy-an,
IL seems to be.

1. Where to Buy?
2. When to Buy?
3. What to Buy?

Are three questions to which the people
OF Dickinson county are giving considerable
thought with reference to the commodities
OF life. We have a few suggestions to make
to enable you to solve the problem as regards
Dry Goods and Groceries.
Manifestly the the best firms with which
to trade are those that employ that wonder
cash and makes thousands OF dollars in dis
counts that the oredit-buying firm never get.
The firm that sells for cash CAN and DOES
sell on much smaller margin than the credit
selling firm. We fill both these essential con-
ditions in the conduct of our business. Our
goods are bought and paid for SPOT CASH
and sold on the same basis. We claim there
fore to give lower prices on all classes ofmer-
chandise than other merchants. Are we not
therefore entitled to your consideration when
choosing where to buy?
To the second question we would suggest
that the best time to supply your various
needs in our lines is when the stock is most
complete. Everyone likes wide variety
from which to select styles. Having just put
in 100000 of Seasonable Dry Goods and
fresh Groceries we believe now is good time
to buy. We will not try to influence you in
what you buy but DO ask tor the opportunity
| of showing you our entire stock before you
invest dollar in Spring Goods.
Have you been in to see us since our re-
opening March 31st, with an entire new
stock? Well, if you haven't, you have hardly
been treating your own interests right. We
invite an inspection-we want every pur-
chaser in this county to come in and see u.s.
We will certainly save you money.
