There are two or three ways to do business One
the worst way-is to have mercuria prices which
slide up and down the business thermometer accord
ing to the quallbility of the customer That's the
old way, but still largely practiced in our town.
Another way is to sell big article for big price
and throw in whole lot of little things That's
the expensive way flor the customer). Still anoth-
er way is to blow and buster-tell OF things in the
newspapers that are found entirely different in the
a. store. That's not way. There's still another
way, (not largely practiced) to advertise things as
they arttel the TRUTH even if you have to cali cot
ton by it's right name. Use all men alike, have but
one price and guarantee that price whit guaran-
tee that means something, and pay back the mon-
ey, without grumbling when anything proves un-
satisfactory. That's the best way for store and for
customer. That's our way Do you want to trade
at such a store? If You do when you want clothing
furnishing goods hats shoes, make bee line for

The Sign Of Love.

1t is almost as pretty as seeing two
birds making love to watch one young
girl when she is first conscious that a
young mans heart is drawn towards
her. She fushes; she is nervous and
she fits around in a quick sort Of a
way exactly as the yellow canary bird
does in it's cage when the bird in the
other window trills a particularly
sweet song. It is a good thing, this
old-fashioned love. It keeps every
body young. Even the lockers on find
their hearts growing tender, and some
how every human being, hearing the
love story of someone else, lives again
in the first love that came to her. My
first love was given to agentleman old
enough to be my grandfather. nur-
sed it in silence and never told him Of
the deep affection that I had for him.
To me he represented everything that
was great, everything that was hand
some, and everything that was intel
lectual. The fact that he was nay
own uncle did not interfere in the
least with my love, since it was
spiritual one, purely. The first love
is always spiritual, and that is the
reason why no wise woman marries her
first love. In marriage, little
thought must be given to the material.
The bread and butter of tie future is
to be considered. 1t is impossible to
live entirely upon them.

Texas Prophet Predicts the Millennium
10 Occur In 1898.

The prophet, or Seventh Angel Of
Melchisadeck, as he proclaims himself
to be, was in Bopham to-day and from
the eastern steps of the Court House
he preached and prophesied, predict
ing dire calamities which will be visi-
ted on the world in less than twelve
months.
He said that short while ago he
vas nothing but farmer, ignorant,
uneducated, not even being able to
read. That one day while he and his
father-in-law were ploughing in the
field seven white birds descended and
circled around his head then flew away
to the north; that he watched them
until they disappeared in the distance.
He called his father-in-law's attention
to them, but at first he could not see
them, but just before they disappeared
he discovered them.
When the birds had disappeared the
spirit of the Lord descended upon
him, and that he Immediately knew
that he was the seventh angel and
knew everything contained in the BIZ
BILE, although he had never read it !;
that he was endowed with the knowl-
edge of reading that he dropped the
plow handles and went straightway to
preaching to his neighbors, as he was
told to 20 forth like Noah and to
preach to the world, warning sinners
that the time was near at hand when
the Lord would come, and that the
year 1893 is the time when the world
will cease to be. Then be warned all
sinners that unless they repented and
believed in the Lord Jesus Christ
they would be eternally lost.
He said he was not preaching for
money nor the love of men, but to
save sinners from, eternal damnation.
Several men in the audience took him
to task and asked him questions, and
so many were asking questions at the
same time that the crowd made them
let him alone. He proceeded, prophe-
sying and reading copiously from the
Scriptures to prove that his prophe-
cies would come to pass, and that the
Holy Writ would bear witness to their
truthfulness.
Finally the prophet closed and said
if any one was willing to untarily
give him nickel they were at liberty
to do so, and that it would be thank
fully received. A good many went
forward and gave the prophet nickel.
Though all were sceptical, he gave
many Of them food for thoug ght, as
they gathered in small groups discuss
ing his prophecies and arguing one
with another that he had told great
many truths and said great many
good things. All decided, however,
that he was fake in some respects,
for he had placed the final reckoning
too uncomfortably close. = Dallas

Tillman's Visit to Watson.

WASHINGTON, August 18.-Georgia
and South Carolina Democrats are GU
rious about the conference held yes
terday at Thomasville, Ca, between
Tom Watson and Senator Ben Till
man. It is felt that the conference
was of Importance, and that it was not
friendly visit which the South Car
olina Reformer paid to the talkative
Georgian. Tillman has nothing social
in his nature, and is not in the habit
of going far away from home to make
visits. He always insists on all the
visits being made to him. According
to the Star: 'The conference was un-
questionably political. Tillman is a
member of the Democratic national
committee, but may not be on good
terms with the ruling spirits. He was
at the notification meeting in New
York, and was called for after Bryan
had finished his speech, but he did
not speak. He met Sewall there, but
whether they had a conference is not
known. In some quarters the question
is asked: Did Tillman take message
to Watson from anybody in New York ?
1t is very unlikely. Tillman would
hardly be made the medium Of a mes
sage from anybody at this time. 1t
is at least certain, it is thought, that
he did not take any message from the
Democratic national committee. The
policy of that committee seems to be
to have nothing to do with Watson
and nothing to say to him. Sewall
could hardly have asked Tillman to
carry his greetings to the Georgian.
Bryan, it is thought, would not have
sent a greeting, although he could
have conveyed some pleasant word to
the Georgian. The real meaning Of
the conference may come out IN the
future conduct of Watson. i"
Among politicians well versed in
the condition of affairs in South Caro-
lima and Georgia, it is said that the
conference may have had something to
do with the way the South Carolina

other. They have lent each other
advice and assistance in the various re-
form battles they have gone through
in South Carolina and Georgia. Till
man can dictate how tn c electors in
South Carolina shall vote for Vice
President. The electors were noml-
mated previous to the Chicago and st.
Louis Conventions. They are men
who are with Tillman in anything he
does or may do. They share his ideas
on the general situation. They too,
know Watson and admire him. He
lives just across the river from South

have been followed with interest by

How Bryan Makes a Living.

UPPER RED Hook, N. Y.,-Au-
gust 1S.-On his return from a fishing
trip o-night the Hon. William j..
Bryan gave out prepared answer TO
the allegations made by Senator John
M. Thurston, that Mr.. Bryan was in
the pay of the mine owners. He de-
MED the allegations without qualifca-
tion, and practically invited the Re
publican national committee to make
The charge officially in order that he
might be given a chance to show eX-
actly what his income had been and
from what source it was derived. Mr..
Bryan's statement is as follows:
II have already denied this charge
on several occasions, but the reitera-
tion of it by Senator Thurston, a dis
tinguished resident Of my own State,
justifes NE in answering it again. I
have never, at any time or under any
circumstances, been in the employ cf
any mine owners, individually or COL
lectively, directly or indirectly, nor
have I ever been in the employ or
been paid by any bimetallic organiza-
ton. Aside from my editorial salary
of about $3.50 month, paid by the
Omaha World-Herald, and small
amount derived from the legal pro-
fession my income since my retire
ment from Congress has been derived
from lectures before Chautauquas, ly-
ceums and lecture bureaus, which
have usually paid me fixed sum,
and from contributions made by the
people in the localities where l have
spoken. In some instances have re.
ceived nothing at all. In most places
I have received more than enough to
cover travelling expenses. In only
two instances, 1 think, has my COM
pensation exceeded one hundred dol
lara, and in these instances it was
about two hundred dollars at one
place and about three hundred dollars
at the other. The first platform upon
which I ran for Congress, in 1890, be-
fore I was known politically outside
of my own State, contained q free
coinage plank, and my Republican
opponent that year was an advocate
of free coinage. In the campaign of
1892 I again ran upon free silver
platform, and my opponent for the
Senate, Mr.. Thurston, while opposing
unlimited coinage at the ratio of Is to
1, insisted thathe favored bimetallism.
I wrote the free coinage plank upon
which I ran in 1890, and the free
coinage planks in the Nebraska State
platform in 1891, 1894, 1895 and
1896, and tried to secure the adoption
Of free coinage planks in the State
platforms of 1892 and 1898. | only
mention this to show that my advoca-
cy of free silver is not Of recent date.
Having made this answer to Senator
Thurston's letter I shall hereafter take
no notice of individual or newspaper
comments upon this subject. If the
Republican national committee will
say officially that it believes I have
ever been employed to deliver speech:
es by any mine owner or group of
mine owners, or by any association
supported by mine owners, I am ready
TO make O. statement showing in de-
tail all money received by me for
speech-making.
