On the 9Th day of January last we purchased of
Bigham < Browning the stock of hardware and farm
implements for the purpose of engaging in legiti-
mate and reputable business We wish to state that
we have increased stock and took particular pains
to secure full and complete line Of goods in order to
supply trade with all the leading articles kept in

were obtained from other merchants who had them in
stock and willing TO sell them to us, however,
we find that that is a common custom and that our
firm is not the only in town selling goods pur-
chased in that way We wish to state that are
very much pleased to that trade is rap
idly increasing, and we certainly feel very grateful to
customers. We hold no malice toward our COM
petitors. We expect to keep large stock of goods,
doors always stand open, and solicit your trade
upon fair and just dealings We shall take no fur

In Memory Of James H, Clifton.

10 write OF the ueaQ ID sacred
task for there is no response from
the grave. On all occasions we
speak of our departed with tender
respect, and know what each one
was to those around them n y
when the barque Of immortality
has passed forever from the shores
of Time. Therefore we write rev.
erently of the subject of t h 8
sketch.
James 81. Clifton was born April
4, 1885, at GAINESVILLE, Tenn. He
came to Kentucky in 1859. On
May 20, 1863, by Rev Riley Eads,
he was married to Miss Margaret
McLarney. His wife and Z chill
dren survive him, 5 children hav.
ing passon on before his death,
which occurred at Dycusburg
March %, 1904.
Mr.. Clifton was more than an
ordinary man. His intellectual
endowments and his aggressive ma
ture developed into a successful !
life and gave him an elevation Pc
cuiiarly his own.
He was for decades a leading
citizen of our town (Dycusburg),
and of Crittendsn county. In what
ever age or place destiny may have
cast his life, he would have taken
a rank worthy to be coveted, for
so nature moulded him. Essenti-
ally he was what an American cit-
izen may become by individual
merit, even though inheritance be-
queaths to him neither shekels of
gold nor landed estates. That
which makes life most enjoyable
he attained. He was successful in
business and was honored by his
family and friends. He learned
readily from experience and obser-
walton, and communicated to the
advantage of those in whom Ia
was interested; thus his couns i
vas sought and valued, and his it.-
fiuence became patriarchal.
He advocated the observance of
our civil laws. Faithfully we car
state that we honored him as cit
izen, we esteemed his character,
cherished his friendship, and We
revere his memory. His death is
truly a family and a local bereave-
ment, but it is more. He was a
Mason in high standing and his
loss to Dycusburg lodge is seri-
ously felt. AS age and sffiiction
made inroads on his robust con-
stitation his affections still clung
te his surroundings. friends a n d
family; but when the grim des-
troyer cast his shadow over him
he recognized the fiat of the su-
preme Law-Giver and his words
were like these: Il would love to
live to be with my wife and chill
dren, but if God so wills l am rea.
dy to die"
After his long life here it re-
mains for him in another world to
work out a higher destiny. His
death is his gain. At present it
is his loved ones loss. APPLY they
can say
Zone family we dwell in Him,
One church above, beneath,
Though now divided by the stream
The narrow stream of death.
One army of the living God,
To His command We bow
Part of His host has crossed h
flood
And part are crossing now"
A Friend.
