A Word to Merchants

Look at 1t sensible like. If you
have goods to sell, people whom
you expect to buy them must know
about them. If 1T Is better broom
than Is usually sold at what you
can sell 1t for; late novelty In
dress goods just In; cough cure
or other medicine likely to be much
In use at certain seasons of the year
something somebody wants, tell
about them. But don't advertise a
"5oc broom for $50" and think ev-
cry one who reads 1t will rush to
your store after one. II canvass
were made at 100 houses today,
how many would be found In need
of broom? Probably one or two
maybe half a dozen. But again be
cause you let people know that you
sold brooms reasonable, those same
people have tiny wedge driven In
to their intellects that you sell
brooms cheap. Later drive anoth
er wedge or something else; again!
and again.! Those little wedges
will soon have such an opening and
such a confusion of items that not
one reader will remember that 1t
was brooms,or candy, or bird seed
or breakfast food, or what you sold
cheap, bat just the one axiom, your
name, your store, means goods
sold cheap or reasonable"
Cheapness, however, need not be
the key note to establish, but some
thing dominant must be sounded,
be 1t cheapness, novelties, superior
and merltorious goods, or anything
else. Some wise acre says, Give
me pleased customer for my ad
vertising. He will tell everybody
about what nice treatment and
what bargains he got at--'s
store" True, they may tell their
friends, perhaps dozen of them,
yet one dissatisfied customer, and
no store Is invincible from errors
which may cause dissatisfaction,
will do that same philosophical
merchant more injury than dozen
who may save a few cents on
purchase. People as rule take
more delight In spreading bad news
than good, and In general, would
rather a merchant would build up
his own store and create his bust
ness In business like way, than to
use his customers shoulders as
stepping stones to success. The
real stepping stones to a successful
business are judicious advertising
and polite treatment of your Gus
toners. This Is attested by those
who have made their business sue
cessful, and newspapers and good
clerks are the requisites necessary.

I was bound for the plains of Tex

Where the ague, chills, and fevers
make one wish for hills and

A boarding house In Texas Is
but game of chance.
Yet they will board you by the day
or week, but you have to
pay them In advance.
They will feed you on blue biscuit,

That they swell with wisdom while

For of course they know how to fire
the kettle and make the wa

AS they used to work on a saw
mill, before they struck the
oil.
Of course you have to have them,
there's nothing else to do,
Though you know they will burn
the boiler and pull the rods
In two.
It's no use 10 get angry for they
will put on the blandest smile
AS they give to you pointers on how
to pump the ''ile."
The mosquitoes down In Texas,
surely do give you hi,
For they will keep you company
no matter where you dwell;
From boiler, derrick and shanty,
your company they will
keep,
And sing around your bed while
you are fast asleep.
Come all you jolly oil men lesson
from this take,
Dou't come to Texas If you wish to
make stake;
From engine to derrick and crown
block they will chase all day.
You will dream of tubing, lines and
blocks as on your cot yor

Farewell to old Texas, though l

You've all the plaques and thou :

Miss Emma Malloy Walker
1S years of age, of Fit. Gibson,
[. T., died here at the Richards
house Saturday afternoon at 8
O'Clock, and the remains were
taken to her home at TT. Gibson
for burial yesterday morning.
She came here five weeks ago
with her grandmother and uncle.
All that loving hands and medi-
cal aid could do was done, but
to no avail and she passed away
peacefully to the other shore.
She was in the last stages OF
consumption when she arrived
here and the climate did not do
her any good as she was beyond
all earthly help. Sic was a
beautiful young character and
was a christian lady having
been a consistent member OF the
Presbyterian church for five
years. Her parents died when
she was a baby and she was
raised by her grandmother who
so tenderly waited on her and
accompanied the remains to the
last resting place. Ernest Geo.
H. Jackson who has charge of
charge OF the Presbyterian
church here during 5he absence
of the pastor DR.. Chas. FL. Lux
ems, called on Miss Walker short
ly before the end and she said
tnat she was willing to pass to
the other shore.
