THE DULL SEASON.

We hear so much talk about the
dull seasons approaching. hard times
coming and all those kind of disa-
greeable declarations and fOrcbodings
until we feel impelled to ask the
question. what makes hard times?
Our answer is. constant grumbllng,
continual croaking on the part of the
people and high prices demanded by
the merchants. As far rs we are con-
cerned we want nothing more than a
fair profit for our goods and are SIX
ing nothing more. We have a splen-
did stock of dress and staple dry
goods, notions, readymade clothing,
ladies' and gents hosiery, hats, shoes
and everything kept in first-class
dry goods house, and everything will
be sold at lowest prices.

HENRY DREYFUss & Son



An interesting meeting of the Citi-
zens' Development Club was held at
the Board OF Trade rooms Tuesday
afternoon at 5 o'clock pursus mt to ad-
journment.
Mr.. W. j. Jacobs, ce-president,
presided in the absence of the presi
dent. while Mr.. G. d. Hicks was call
ed to the secretary's position in the
absence Of that official.
Mr.. w. y. Jacobs, chairman Of the
special committee to ascertain what
could be done to save the Fair
Grounds, istated that the members of
the combination who held their stock
in unison, and which comprised the
majority of stock, had been applied
to and he thught the committee had
assurances that it could be bought
for 80 cents on tia g dollar.
This statement brought out quite
an extended discussion from several
gentlemen, who stated that the com
mitlee must be mistaken as they I'M
derstood that several who composed
the number who owned the majority
of the stock, would not sell at all, if
the city was to become the owner of
the Fair Grounds paid by taxation.
Mr.. j. Henry Shepherd then moved
that the report be received and the
committee be retained and instructed
to make arrangements to take up the
existing mortgages ard buy up this
stock in question.
Quite a number of citizens who
had not been present before were no
ticed at this meeting, the majority of
when signed the constitution and
became members.
On the Fair grounds question the
lines are being drawn, the men mus
tered in and it will soon be determin-
ed whether )ne or two men will run
this town and keep her in the mire of
sluggIshness, or whether the enter
prising citizens have not the control.
Everybody is invited to join the
procession, but those who will not
aid insist on becoming stumbling
blocks will be crushed if this orgsDi-
zation has the power to do so.
The club has made no threats, but
is in no humor to be intimidated by
mere-handful of bull-dozers. aud if
the latter think they can throttle this
new enterprise and progressive move

Development Club, the let then slogan
