Thought to Depend on Action Of Regulars

Nashville Tenn, Aug. 1.-THE regular Re

tomorrow to nominate a candidate for Gov

After the calling or the convention for to-
morrow the Oliver-Houk faction called the Chat-
tanooga convention and nominated t Asbury
Wright for Governor If the Evans faction,
which meets tomorrow, will indorse the action
of the Chattanooga convention, there is believed
to be some hope of Republican success. If, how
ever, the Evans people nominate their own candi-

City Bonds Refunded

At the regular meeting Of the mayor

An Elegant Christmas Display.

Probably never before in the history
Of Medicine Lodge has there been
such fine display Of holiday goods az
Adams & Co, are showing this season.
In most small cities it is common to hear
it said that one must send to some large
city if he desires an elaborate piece of
Furniture or something especially nice
in Chinaware or Cut Glass, and there
have been times, perhaps, when this
could have been truthfuIly said Of this
town, but it is not true his season.
Adams & Co. have taken especial pains
and spared no expense to supply every
desire in Barber county this season.
Both floors of their house are fairly laden
with the things that are needed to bright
en- and beautify the home.
Their stock Of Rockers is something
worth ones time to see. The large
Mission Rocker. leather seat and back,
in either the Early English or the Wealth
er Oak finish is superb. A home is
not complete without one of them.
They embody both beauty and comfort
at first sight If you are looking for
real luxury you can't withstand the temp
tation to buy one Of these elegant Rock
ers. They are also well supplied with
reed and willow Rockers, large assort-
ment Of chairs Of all descriptions, leather
Couches and Davenports and everything
needed for the parlor or living room.
Their stock of Brass and Iron Beds,
Dressers, Chifoniers, ETC., is especia lily
large, and in China Closets and Bufetts
they are certain to please you.
In the Chinaware and Cut Glass de-
partment they have an. assortment that
can not be resisted. Everything from
the most tiny to the very large-you are
sure to find what you want, it matters
not what your taste may be.
The most unique holiday display in
the house is their elegant lacquerware.
This is something new. 1t is all the
rage in the large cities and what is popu-
lar in the large cities is none too good
for Barber county people. This lacquer
ware takes the place Of basket work and
other miscellany that has been in the
market, and it is much prettier and
more durable than the old kind. 1t is
designed especially for gifts and comes
in all shapes, made in collar boxes. hand
kerchief boxes, dresser cabinets, glove
boxes, jewel boxes, bread boxes, etc.
Don't fail to see these goods at your
FIRST opportunity.
If you are contemplating sending
away tor your holiday goods, do not dc
it before you have gone through thi:
store. They handle everything from a
piano down to the most minute article
and they can make you prices that vii
forever put the idea Of sending away
for goods out Of your mind.
We were agreeably surprised to see
this immense stock of goods and superior
qualities upon going through this store 1
few days ago. 1t is certainly a credit tc
the city and county.
