To the Public Generally
Why is it that our people send
their work to New York and Phil
adelphia concerns, when they can
have it done equally as we'll and
cheaper in our own city! We
claim that we do our work equal
to any concern in the United
States, and while our Office is
filled up with orders to the extent
of our capacity, still we are look
ing to a future, and for that rea-
son we confidently ask that our
people will patronize us, particu-
larlv on account OF the fact that
they can give an order one morn
ing and have it delivered the next
afternoon, if they are in very
great hurry for TIE delivery.
We guarantee every order given
TO us in any and every particular.
Bring us your stamping and en-
craving plate printing for Wedding
Invitations, Announcement Cards,
Society work. Letter Heads, Note
Heads, etc, and II we do not give
YOU entire satisfaction, we make
no charge whatever for 1t.

We have more Lamps than any

ENTERPRISES WINS.

We would like for the merhants
and business men of Providence TO
read the following from the Mer
Rouge Democrat, which shows
public spirit aud enterprise by the
citizens of that live place that is
commendabl In our town 1t IS
impossible to raise fund for even
free ferry, which would do much
good in helping along the trade OF
the place. The Democrat says;
In the past twelve months Nier
Rouge has shown no little degree OF
public spirit and enterprise.
First the town spent $500 or a
road leading to Gum Swamp, TINS
owing 1t foot hold on the trade OF
that rich section.
Secoud-a 5-mill tax in aid of the
T.. 2. & w. Ry. was voted IN Jan
uary. The road when completed
will give Mer Rouge cheaper freight
rates and superior advantage over
other towns adjacent.
Third-a subscription of s2ot
was raised and paid 20 the Monroe
Telephone Co., to induce 1t to give
Mer Rouge phone connections witt
its sister towns.
Forthwith its progressive spir
lit still IN the ascendency, Mer Roug'
saw a chance offered to induce nh
from Mountain Railway to establish
division headquarters here and in
quiet and buslness-like manner sub
mitted and received proposltio'
from the railway company regarding
the change. AS result, 5000 L
cash has been plased TO. the credit Q
the Iron Mountain Rail way Co., !
the Ouachita National Bank, a dee
to sixteen acres of land has also bee
, deposited there, which in connectio
with the money, will be turned ovf

headquarters established here.

The Bastrop Clarion says that
the "sugar teats' of this state who
went off with the Republicans several
years ago GU the tariff question and
for the express purpose of getting a
tariff on sugar, find themselves to-
day in pretty fix. The territorial
expansion idea, which has seized the
government, although expressly an
nouncing that the war was a war for
humanity, is calculated to strike the
sugar industry of this state the most
stunning blow it ever received, if il
does not DESTROY it altogether.
