At the convention in Fort Worth
Hon. J. W. Throckmorton received
the largest vote of any delegate to the
national convention.
If a man receives three dollars j>er
day, and saved every cent of it, one
thousand years would elapse before lie
could bo master of a million.
Thomas Jefferson said that our free
institutions depend upon the virtue
and intelligence of the people. But
Thomas Jefferson never lived in Col-
lin county.
A receut debate on " Religious Tol-
eration" was closed by liob. Ingersoll
with the following declaration: "The
way to be happy is to try to make ev-
erybody else so. That is the sum and
substance of my religion "
Archer county democrats have in-
structed for Hon. J. W. Throckmor-
ton for congress. Throckmorton is
one of the a'olest statesmen in the
South and now that he has regained
his health the people of the 5th would
honor themselves, and the entire coun-
try '.v returning him to his former
position.—Greenville Herald,
A self-acting sofa just large enough
for two, baa beeii invented. An ex-
change savs: "If pVooerly wound up
it will begin to ring warning LeU
j ust before ten o'clock. At one min-
ute after ten it splits apart, and while
one half carries the daughter upstairs,
the other half kicks her lover out of

May 2(5.—As 1 never see anything

This familiar announcement greets the eye wherever goods are sold, throughout
the length and breadth of the land. It gives confidence to the buyer and puts the
consumer on good terms with the retailer, and where the promise is strictly carried
out establishes a feeling oi permanent confidence between the two. In many cases,
however, the one price system is a mild fraud, operating only for the benefit of the
majority, while quite a liberal percentage or purchasers are given, on some pretext or
toher a discount, and think they are securing a great bargain on account of this sup-
posed liberal concession(?)
They forget that ai> extra 20 per cent, has been tacked on to the price of the goods
which still leaves a large percentage in favor of the owners thereof, and is one of the
potent reasons explaining how many houses have succeeded in a few years in bMIing
up large fortunes for themselves. This discount plan does not work with ns. Our plan
is to treat rich and poor alike.
Our extreme low prices are of equal benefit to
all classes.
We mark our goods, in plain figures, at the smallest possible margL. of proSt an3
in almost every instance sell at lower prices than our competitors, consequently WE
CANNOT AFFORD to allow discounts, which are often asked us;'backedup by the ar
gument that "other houses do it."
If reliable goods at low prices count for anything, and fair and honorable meth-
ods of doing business are what the people of McKinney and vicinity want, they hare
an opportuity of showing their appreciation of such a concern by extending a share
of their patronage to us. Our employees are competent, polite and attentive; our
stock large and well selected, and our establishment one of the most conveniently lo-
cated and elegantly fitted in McKinney. and under no circumstances do we ever de-
viate from the original proposition embodied in this article,
