Why go to the great City of Gotham for Furniture when you can find a city of Gotham stock to select from right over at Hawleyville. and at pricf s much under the city.

A claim without reason carries no weight Just study the situation moment, examine the location of our plant and our conveniences for do- ing business. We.own the buildings and have no high rents to pay: Shipping facil- lties at this point are unexcelled and we have no carriage either in receiving or send ing out No concern in the state of any where near our size can begin to do busi- ness under the very small expenses we are under. Any man wi half an eye can see It. We don't have to tell him this, we only have to remind him of 1t once in while Lest he forget, lest he forget' We ad- yertise no leaders but claim to sell all goods on consistent commission and this is not what the city establishments are doing. All, or nearly all use leaders. Sell you for instance stand for 98c that cost them SIS dozen to buy and then in the next breath while you are intoxicated over this 9Sc bargain, draw a $15 commission out of you on pice sideboard or bookcase, but some of the people are getting to the point where they are no more misled by these leaders than the old farmers hens were when he successfully misled them for a number of weeks by mixing fine saw dust with their corn meal, but the day of re ri- button came at last when he set his favor ite hen n bakers dozen of nice selected eggs and she promptly matched him out nine chickens with wooden legs,- three woodpeck CTS, and & hair tipped wood chuck. The old fellow had forgotten that "You can fool one hen all of the time and all of the hens some of the time, but you can't fool all of the hens all of the time" Now we are furnishing up houses in all parts of the state and we are doing it more on the merits of the wares we are sending out than by heavy advertising. We have advertised as you must have noticed but very little during the last two years, but just now some of these editors and pub fishers are fai'ly beside themselves with the idea of actually owning nice fat turkey for Christmas or New Years, just like the rest of us, and we are paying them a good price for this little space just to help hold them in the path of rectitude and honesty, and head off any necessity for raid on their neighbors turkey vines. Come and look our stock over and see for yourself if we cannot save you money over the in- ducements offered by any other concern in the state.

Third. Are the Boers an enlightened people according to present views Taken as whole there is probably no nation in the world supposed to be civilize ed where such ignorance exists as in the Transvaal. Nearly all the Boers live on large farms miles away from any town or school, ,snd for this reason, partly, but few of them can read or write.
 Many of those living in the Transvaal who are educated and hold cffice have come out from Germany during the past ten years and are not Boers in any sense of the word.
 The Boer farmer living in his small nut made of sun dried brick has no desire to be educated or enlightened. Each one of them raises small piece of corn which they pound into neal, and for the rest of his living he del rds on hunting, as nearly all kinds of & ne are found in abundance in every dlstrlct of the Franz vaal.
 They do not look with favor on the railways, street care, schools, or anything which tends to civilize or improve their condition, 6- that of their country. In fact, they have opposed all of these things in every possible way, ss they ! seem to think with the opening of rail- ways and the development of the coun- try the day will come when they will have to work. Cleanliness and work are two words which the average Boer doei not know the meaning of, and does not wish to, and 8 race of people in this state can hardly be said to be enlighten ed.
 Fourth. Will civilization be promoted by the success of the Englisbf To this
 would say "yes,n most decidedly, be cause, when nation wishes to be lef entirely alone and exclude all foreigners it can never advance or take position
 with the civilized and enlightened nation of the world. One cause of the grea growth and prosperity of these Unitet States is the immense amount of inter

to cut if our imports and exports and shut ourselves in, from the very moment that we started this scheme our country would start to go backward.
 The Transvasl and the Free State are the connecting link between Cape Colony and that vast country known ss Central Africa. English supremacy in the Trsns- vaal and Free State therefore means not only the opening up of these two co1n- tries but of the whole of South Africa. It would mean long lines Of railway and telegraph, schools, churches and the many things which go to develop and build up country.
 Many people look upon the present war as 8 case of powerful nation taking advantage of weaker one, but we must not overlook the fact that for the past three years the Trsnsyasl has given arms and ammunition to every man in the Free State as we'll ss to all the Dutch in the north part of the Cape Colony and be- sides this have done everything In their power to get these other countries to rise up with them against Great Britain.
 England Is not fighting for the gold mines of Johannesburg or the diamond fields of Kimberley, but for her own colonies in South Africa, and to have her subjects tn the Transvaal treated the same as they would be if they went to live in any other country on the face of the globe.
 That England will be successful in the end seems almost an assured fact, al. though up to the present the engage ments have been most disastrous for her. The feeling all over Great Britain at this time can hardly be imagined, especially at this Christmas time when nearly every one has in mind the words, "Peace on earth, good will to men,"
 The words must be almost 8 mockery to every Englishmsn with 1000 of her sons killed, wounded or taken prisoners and the prospect that many thousands more must give up their lives before I peace is restored. That it will pay iH the end 1t seems there can be no question as it means the building ap of mighty nation, but. as Paul Kruger has said,
