The ELECTION Is OVER AND Now
FOR BUSINESS. -This campaign has
been expensive to all of us, owing to
the stagnation of all kinds of bust

the results. In the face of unsteady

through, have made it point to
keep up my stock of worsteds, cast
mers and fancy cheviots in every de-
tail, where possible. / now stand
ready to serve the people with cloth

before for the balance of the season.
Call and receive honest goods and
fair and courteous treatment at all
times. Yours respt.,

Few people know that all plants contain di-
gcstivc principles. They cannot absorb their
food until it is digested any more than ami
mails can. The Mount Lebanon Shakers have
learned the art of extracting aud utilizing
these digestive principles. and it is for this
reason that their Shaker Digestive Cordial
is meeting with such phenomenal success in
the treatment of dyspepsia. The Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial not only contains food already
digcstcd. butt alsocoutains digestive principles
which aid the digestion of other foods that may
be eaten with it. 4 single 10 cent sample bottle
will be sufficient 10 demonstrate its value, and
we suggeet that every suffering dyspeptc

chartered under the laws OF Texas
in 1879. But 1t has received life

ing Of itscoffers discloses but s., 800
assets. The present needs OF the
Alamo being urgent, and the
action being allowable under the
charter, it has been decided to
donate this sum to identifying the
interior Of the Alamo, without
the project Of building the monu-
ment being in the least disturbed.
