Good Times Coming.
Communicate ei.)

That an era Of good times Is coming Is
evident to any ono who will take the time
to examine the evidences Of prosperity and
business revival that arc all around us. Tho
daily prnsses teaming with notices of mills
starting up, advances in WACO, and tho
number employed, gives more, confidence in
business circles. This Ia Il reaction Of the
pendulum toward safety from the restless
unHt5led condition OF affairs incurred by
the fear OF Tree sllVor. .nsi
Organism and Its like, was not the cluse
Of the hard times exactly, but tho hard
times was the cause Of 1t and created II, and
it In turn tends TO mako hard times by
making distrusb la business Tho spirit OF
rcrklcssness brought about by the despoi-
atO condition Of affairs found vent, as it
always has tendency to do In dangerous
channels. TireI of poverty, people arc
willing to try anything for relief. True
enough free silver was cxpoundea before
the hard times, but it did not have any
considerable following and SO was not
considered.
Good times like vapor arc not always
easily recognized, and ofttimcs people do
not realize how well thoy arc doing until
they begin to do worse. Good tilnes do
not mean that every one Is to bo u million
airc but that n man may got an honest
living for an honest amount of toll, anu
to be us certain that ho may get that living
as that ho is willing TO work.
Lot us thcn put away the viows of tho
pcssimist and brighton up US business Is

upon Investigation, we learn that every

Ho does this by u liberal use of the news.

quaint people with tho fact of the great
and uncqunlled values he is Offering to
tho public. II other merchants would fol-
low Mr.. Mitchell's examples and use tho
columns of the newspapers freely they
would soon RANK with Mr. Mitchell as u
recognized lcadcr in the mercantile world.
This morning upon entering his place of
business, it was pleasing sight to 500 tho
manner in which he has displayed the
many bargains there, and what was still
moro pleasing to him was tho many cu5to-
mers that were busily engaged in securing
the good things on salo. Their faces beam
cd with delighted satisfaction at tho
thought of saving 80 much moro and SO.
curing go many neccssar!e5 for so little
cash.
This fact has been the means Of Mr.
Mitchell increasing his business ever since
he located IL our city several years ago.
His store is large and filled with every.
thing in the trimming line and small no.

That Is one reason why his store is crowded
at the present timo with purchasers who
know bargains when offered them.
