Light Special:
Floresville, Texas, Nov 6.-The cleo
ton, which was very quiet. save two
small rows which did not result in
any one being hurt, passed off quiet
ly here last Tuesday. the voters going
OF the polls orderly, casting their vote
and departing. As the saloons were
all closed and only very few pri-
vate bottles were going around, ev-
erybOdy stayed sober and a more
quiet presidential election was never
before witnessed at this place. The
schools were closed on this occasion
as well as almost all business places.
Those that did not close did hardly
any business. The general result of
the count is about in nOw-enough
anyway to know who the successful
candidates are.

A brilliant complexion is beauty IN 4
self 1t pleases the eyes of thoughtless
people and the minds of thinking people.
They know that really good complexion
is a sign of health, and created by Nature.
There are different ways of initiating fine
complexion cosmetics, which deceive no.
body, but ruin the skin and make the user
look silly and prematurely old stimulants
which only give temporary flush /; danger
Gus drugs which drive pinply disorders
from the face back into the blood. All
these counterfeit" compilations are I'M
safe and easily detected. But the genuine,
unmistakeable, much admired color and
clearness of health can only be obtained
by clearing all bilious matters and hunors
out of the blood.
The first step towards creating a good
complexion by Natures own method is to
get the blood clear, and the circulation free
and active. There is no complexion so sal
low, muddy or pimply but II will be cleared
and frightened by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t is the best natural
complexion maker on earth. 1t sends the
! fresh glow of real health to the cheeks by
thoroughly clearing all bilious and eruptive
humors out of the blood. 1t strengthens
the digestion and regulates the bowels in
mild natural way. 1t gives brighter color
to the blood. and not only beauties the
complexion but makes the eyes brighter
and the breath sweeter.
If the bowels be very much constipated,
II will be advisable to take small doses of
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, conformity
with the use of the Golden Medical Dis
covery." One or two each day-just suf.
fcient to get their laxative and Alternative,

WILL THE CROPS
b A FAILURE.

There is much talk just now on the
condition Of the crops, Some seem
to think that the corn crop is practl-
cally failure, and it is said that the
cotton while considerably in advance
of last years growth, will fall far
short too. unless rain falls within a
short time
These indications seem gloomy
enough and are prone to make one
feel blue; but the practical bus
mess man must offset these hin
ORANGES i'll some way, and | have de-
termiued for myself to do it by
throwing on the market my splendid
