Big
Trade.
Many year have come ai d
g me sines the prospects for a
heavy Spring trade have' been
40 flattering for men engaged in
all Unee of commercial pursuits
iu Caldwell asthey are right now.
Saturday's volumne of trade
may be taken as a very fair in
dication of what kind a run of
business may be expected during
the ensuing few weeks.
From early in the morning un-
til late in the evening every bus-
iness street in the city was well
tilled with farmer's teams, snd
«hen they left their vehicle*
carried large stores uf provisions,
etc. Every farmer in the coun-
ty is in high spirits and there it-
«very indication that their ef-
forts of this year will beprodno
úive of just as large crops at
they reaped last year. They a!
so are free to admit that about
two or three more crops like
those of last year would put
Burleson county in a class all by
itself. It would also mean that
che prices of lands in this count\
would go skyward with leaps
and bounds.
There is scarcely a merchant in
Caldwell who has not alreadx
received his line of Spring goods.
The heads and huyera of the va-
rious tirms made special trips t<
Sew York, Chicago and St
Umis for the purpose of pur-
chasing their new linee. Th
•esults of their judicious selec
-,ions are now spread out or¡
'heir counters ar.d shelves in a
glorious array of attractiveness.
When you are ready to lay ii

Summer goods don't fail to looi:
