when a fond mother is called from

HARD TIMES
AND Low PRICES.

There is no use to attempt to laugh
to scorn the report of failure IN
crops, the losa of stock for lack OF
water and numerous other condl-
tons. betokening still further hard
times The fact is the Fall trade
will be extremely limited, unless
something unforeseen intervenes, ana
much distress will prevail, None ap-
preciate this more than the merchants
who see nothing in the outlook to MAKE
light of, nothing wherein levity may
be courted, All realize tina; goods
must qa sold on close margin and
he who makes the best calculation on
the needs Of the season and can buy
the cheapest will be the most sue
successful. We haoe given this mat
ter a clot, study, earnest thought
and we believe We can assure tht
nnblic that we are batter prepared
than any house in North Louisiana
