GOingtO San Automobile the great re
greet of many in Brownsville, Judge and
Mrs. Noah Allen have announced their
intention of leaving this city in the near
future, to make their home in San An
tonic. Judge Allen, who. until a short
time ago, was assistant L. $. attorney
for this district, has become interested
i'll an extensive irrigation project in
West Texas, near COtulla, which will Oc-
cupy most of his time for some months.
Both the judge and his wife have done
much during their s%ojourn in Browns
vile, for several years past, to make life
pleasant for all with wOhm they have
come in contact. Mrs. Allen, as a mem
Der of the Civic League, has been espec-
tally active in the work of identifying
the city market square, and the erection
Of the Major Brown memorial fountain
was due largely to her unremitting eff
forts. She has also been a very active
and useful member of the Mothers Club,
and has worked faithfully in behalf of
the charitable work undertaken}b by the
club. Both will be missed here, and
many good wishes will follow them to
their new home.

Stdgndnt Water IN FoHRtdiR-Some
complaint has been heard to the effect
that the water i'll the fountain on Mar
ket Plaza is permitted to stand until it
becomes stagnant, and is thus nothing
more than a mosquito nest. The ladies
who erected the fountain did so with the
expectation that the water would be
changed daily by the city, but perhaps
somebody has failed to put a memoran-
dun on his tab regarding the matter.

Do you realize that the
merchant who marks his
prices in figures you can read
is inviting you to compare
them with the very best to be
found elsewhere.
The price is plainly written
on every piece of furniture in

that unless we were sure of
your finding the best values
for the money here.
We're willing to trust you
in the matter of judging quail
tiles. Simply be sure you are
comparing equal values and
our prices may tell their own
story.
These are the prices at
