THE STORE THAT SAVES YOU NONEY
Pay Your Poll Tax
Kvery man and woman should
pay their poll tax and render
some property for taxation be-
fore .January 31st, as there will
be several important matters to
be decided during this year. In
the primaries especially our wo-
men should be prepared to vote
and «¡ve Joe Haiiey a good de-
feat as he is strictly opposed to
them participating in elections
or primaries. Hesides these will
more than likely be several im-
1 riant elections held before
next fall, in which you cannot
vote unless you have paid your
poll tax. He a good citizen and
pay your taxes today and qualify
yourself to vote. The campaign
for county, district and st.it ' of-
ficers will soon ojien and you will
have no say in their selection
unless you pay your poll tax.

Upholding Cotton
In the past eleven years the cot-
ton crops of the South «old for
113,236,000,000.
They should have brought $2S,-
(XX),000,000.
If the cotton growers had banded
together years ago—an they have
now in the American Cotton Asso-
ciation—they would have driven
out the poverty, the prlvitations
that have been forced upon them by
low prices and the domination of
«peculators who have profited at
their expense.

ton Association, cotton Is at lust

slavery that has bound it for years.

The Big Store
Has Just Closed
A Successful Year
Despite the fact that the cotton crop
in Burleson county last year was the
shortest that was ever known to he
raised in the county for many years,
the volume of our business was the
#
largest in its history, notwithstanding
that wc could hardly expect to surpass
the very exceptionally good year of 1918.
Considering the very poor trade con-
ditions that existed during the fall just
passed, we are highly pleased with our
record, and we feel sure that our many
friends and customers are glad to hear
of our success, to whom we are in-
debted for same.
Honest goods at honest prices by
honest methods is what the people
want, and we give it to them. That's
the whole story in a nut shell.
