How They Are Hand
led in an Up-to- Date
Dry Goods House

Dry Goods House
Personal Attention --Ex-
press Paid.
In order to form an
adequate idea Of the ex-
tent and convenience Of
the modern method Of
shopping by mail it is
only necessary to explain
the care that is taken to
| please the out-of-town
mail order tr ade. Of
course the first step with
most people when think
ing Of buying a new dress
s TO see the new goods,
the new colors, and get
an idea Of the new styles
Of making.
Messrs. Harris Emery
Company, Of Des MONIES,
Iowa, conduct the mail
order branch Of this great
dry goods business on the
most approved lines. It
can be safely said that
there is not a store in New
York, Chicago, Philadel-
phia, St. Louis or any
other place that makes
the interest Of the Gus
toner 50 paramount.
To begin with the
samples they take each
kind Of goods in the stock
and make a great number
Of little books Of samples
with pasteboard backs.
All the co1ors Of this
weave are artistically ar
ranged So to assist in
the selection. In the case
Of Silks and other dainty
goods each sample is pro-
teeted BY tissue paper.
Of course when SO
much expense is incurred
for the convenience Of
their patrons II is but nat
oral that they should ask
to have the samples re-
turned when selection has
been made. hose who
have never stopped to
count up the cost Of sam
pies Of Silk and Wool
Dress Goods will Be sur
prised TO find that the av-
erage cost IS almost !
cent for each sample, 50
that the average amount
sent out in answer to re-
quest is about so cents.
Courtesy should always
Be repaid with courtesy.
a special characteristic
Of the Harris Emery sys-
tenn is the personal SER
vice. When your order
comes in it is placed in
the hands Of an expert
lady shopper. She goes
directly to the counter and
buys for you possibly
more prudently than you
would do yourself.
II is also important to
know that on every pur-
chase Of SIS or over in
Iowa we prepay ali ex-
press or mail expense.
In other states we pay
charges on purchases Of
$40 or over.

Bagdad. Fla. Simpson and Co.'S.
mills have refused to accept the condi-
tions of the recent arbitration of the
labor trouble, and have given notice
that they would no longer employ
Knights Of Labor. Last Thursday they
posted notices that they would pay 10
per cent. advance to all old hands who
would sever their connection with the
Knights, or to non-union men who ap-
piled at once for work. Monday the
mills opened with a full force of non
union men. In tho afternoon one of the
employees was shot from ambush and
wounded in the thigh. A lot of logs
were also cut loose and set adrift. &c.
rlous trouble is feared.

Young Farmer Found Hanged.

Houston, Tex. Hermann Winkel-
mann, a prominent young farmer Of
Washington county, was found hanging
by his neck in his own barn Saturday.

The fatherlani, some six years ago
BY hard work and industry he nccum-
ulated q small competency, which he
invested in q farm. He was to come
into possession Of TIE property Satur-
day, and had sufficient amount Of
money on hand to stock the place.
There is absolutely no known cause for

his previous eo1dact to indicate that
&c contemplated 'f-destruction. He
wal young man, not yet 80 years old,
and with every prospect OF success. He

Cotton MIL Declares Dividend.

Meridian. The annual meeting of
the directors of the Meridian cotton
mills was held Saturday. when the
years business was shown, and the
plans for the future conduct of the
enterprise were considered. The state
--lent of the years business submitted
by General Manager Conn sho-ed
most satisfactory profit. Upon this
statement the directors declared div
idend of 8 per cent. on the capital
stock, and the balance of the net
profit was carried to the surplus fund.
1t was unanimously voted that the
wages Of all mill employees should be
increased 5 per cent. it being tho
sense OF the directorate that the mill
operatives should benefit to some ex-
tent BY the prosperity of the concern.
The Meridian cotton mills recently
built an addition to their plant, which
virtually doubles their capacity. The
machinery for this addition is now be-
ing put in place, and operations will
be begun at as carly date as posi-
BILE. The stock for this addition was
sold at premium of 10 per cent. and
was promptly subscribed for by the
original stockholders.

As the end Of the terms Of the pres
emit incumbents approach the newly
elected state officers are busying them
selves with the selection Of their assist
ants In their several departments. In
the department OF education Mr.. w.
W. Simonton will remain as clerk to
the state superintendent and secretary
to the board OF eucation and the board
Of examiners. Miss Lynn Hemingway
will also retain her position in this
Office. The secretary Of state will re-
tain Mr.. J. W. Power as his assistant
secretary. The staff Of the auditors
osfioc was announced some time ago by
Auditor Cole while in this city. The
auditors Office will witness the most
complete changes of any Of tie depart
msnts. TIE state treasurer has ten
dered the position of bookkeepsr to Mr.
F. T. Raiford, who has accepted the
same. He has not yet announced his
selection OF cashier. 1t is the general
impression that Capt Webb will be
the secretary Of the new railroad COM
mission. His efficient services since
the time Of his appointment to succeed
retiring Secretary Kimbrough, and bis
extensive acquaintance with matters of
detail connected with the railroad bus
mess renders him especially fitted for
the position. Governor Longino has
not yet stated whom he viii employ as
his private secretary. The secretary
Of this board Of control has another year
to serve before an election will be nec-
essary to fill that. place. It has been
announced that beginning with the
Few , ar Mr.. e. G. Campbell will no
longer be connected with the supreme
court in the capacity OF assistant clerk.
q position he has held during the last
four years. Ths place will be filed by
Mr.. Brown.

jackson, Miss. Tho officers Of the
court have been busy serving the proper
papers on the insurance companies be-
longing to the Southeastern Tariff as
ISOLATION. the same being returpabls at
the coming session of the Kinds county
circuit court which begins in Janu-
airy. Each company is required by law
to have representative In the state on
whom such proc, IS may be served. The
insurance people are pretty generally
stirred up over the situation. which
presents some very unpromising pros
poets both to the companies and the
agents. The result Of the present pro-
eding can only affect ths right of the
companies to do business in Misslssip-
pi, but after this is decided, or even
while 1t is pending, there looms up
ominously criminal laws Of the state on
the subject Of trusts. The compsnies
themselves are liable to heavy fines and
the agents Of companies belonging to
trust all over the state are liable to
Indictment, and on conviction may be
fined heavily and imprisoned for a con-
siderable term. 1t can be stated that
the present proceedings is Of minor in
terest as far as the agents are concern
cd to the further procedure In a crlmi-
nal way thst the prophetic eye can well
foresee, in case the civil proceedings
establishes the fact that the Southeast
ern Tariff associa'ion is q trust. IN
less the association has in some way
changed its method Of doing business,
its organization or its generally reput-
ed purpose. since the case came before
the supreme court from Meridian there
is no possible doubt that the supreme
court will hold the Tariff association to
be trust. The definition Of trust is
very comprehensive in the Mississippi
statutes and is broad enough to en-
brace almost any com p,nation Of this
character. But 1t is not left to specu-
lation as to what tho court would hold
should the present case, as it doubtless
will come, up before it in the course
of time. Tho court has already held in
the Meridian case already referred to
that the Southeastern Tariff Associa-
ton IL trust within the purview Of
the statutes. The cass was reversed
on account Of defective allegations in
the Indictment and was subsequently
thrown out OF court by legislative
blunder, but not before the court has
passed declsively on the question and
declared that the Tariff association, ss
then operated, was trust. 1t Is hardly
probable that the association could
have assumed since then another Pro-
team shape capable Of rendering the
statutes inapplicable. The result of the
present proceedings will be watched
with great interest and anxiety by all
classes OF people interested In or Affect
cd py insurance.
