On the completion of our
stock-taking, we find many odd
lots of stuffs in broken assort-
ments which we will move out
at low prices.
1t is a well. known fact that
Muslins are as high in price
now as they were three years
ago. Before this advance we
bought largely of many stan
dard brands and shall open
our spring business in muslins
and sheetings at remarkably
low prices, such as were pre-
vailing during the great stag
nation in these goods.
A Hill bleached 61 per yard.
42-inch pillow Muslin SC per yard.
45-inch pillow Muslin Sc per yard.
"a Sheeting, linen finish, tic per yard.
1o4 Sheeting, linen finish. 19c per yard.
On Wednesday morning we
shall place on sale 5000 yards
As inch Bleached Muslin, fine
enough for underwear and
heavy enough for pillow cases
and sheets, for 8 cents per
yard. The same quality as
we shall sell for l2a cents
when these are sold. Muslin
buyers will find our prices
very interesting.
Last fall we ordered direct
from Belfast, Ireland, a splen-
did line of Table Linens and
Napkins, They are in fine
grades of exquisite patterns
with napkins to match. and
the qualities are far superior
for the money than we have
ever offered.
Cream Double Damask. 75c, 81 and 1925;
yards wide.
Bleached Double Damask. 81, s1.5o and
50; yards wide.
Bieached Double Damask SLIPS and 2; 21
yards wide, for extra wide tables.
A large lot of Remnants Of
Table Linen in lengths from
ii to 8 yards long, 3S cents to
81, or about ] off the regular
price by reason of being a lit
tie soiled and rumplcd.
Our Blanket season has been
large stock-taking reveals
some lots that have been over
looked and some that are
slightly soiled. We shall offer
these to late Blanket buyers
at a'great reduction in price.
All of the Handkerchiefs
used in our Christmas decora-
fions are sorted up and pla ced
on the counter for a quick sale
at much reduced prices. They
are embroidered and in colored
borders. Soap, water and a
fiat iron will make them good
as new.
The 12ac ones are now
for 25c.
The Csc ones are now
for SOC.
The sc. ones are now
for 10c.
Remnants of Laces in black
and white-beaded garnitures
and narrow trimmings in silk

stock-taking results and much
below regular prices.

of several such received in the past. We
are sorry to have any appreciative sub
scrlber to miss copy of the paper, since
to many it is like weekly letter from the

we are very glad to replace it. Last Sat
urday morning we should have received
more than a dozen exchanges, weekly
papers from the south of Middletown, and
but one came. Some came in the evening
mail. others on Monday morning, and
part of them not at all. That fault was in
the mails on the railroad, the postal mes
sengers. 1t frequently happens that the
Wilmington papers do not reach US in the
evening, going south to be returned the
next morning. This is not complaint but
an explanation of how papers are not de-

A Remarkable Deer Drive.

A large buck deer was run al
most into Colfax by Mr.. J. III. Nc
Neely on Wednesday, which being
closely pressed swan Red river
near the lower limits of our town
corporation. Landing on the sand
bar il took to the woods on the
Rapides side, in plain view of fifty
persons, who watched the noble
animal as it made graceful bounds
across the bar. -Four of the hounds
swan the river after it, and sever
al of our young men also crossed
over and followed in the chase.
The deer was finally killed in Cane
river about FIVE miles from Colfax,
having led one of the most remark
able and exciting chases ever
known in this section. It was
jumped in the hills of Grant parish
several miles east of Colfax, and
running into the river bottom it
traversed tho corn and cotton fields
of Mrs. Calhoun, j. III. McNeely
and DIR. Kelly, and crossing the
river it ran through a considerable
portion of Rapides and Natchi-
toches parishes. Thus the hunt
extended over three parishes,
most unusual thing to occur in
single drive OF a few hours, and the
deer must have been seen by more
than a hundred persons in it's re-
markable run.
