may confidently claim. Our Pattern llats reflect the lat-
est London, Paris, and New York fashions as a polished
p sm reflects light. Bigger stocks may be seen in larger
cities, but none choicer, and what's more
We Have No Fancy Prices.
Our MISS SPRINGFIELD, who attended all the Spring
Openings in St. Louis, ably assisted by MISS HARRIS,
an experienced trimmer, will take pleasure in waiting on"all
who will favor us with a visit on the above dates

AVe are showing a Handsome line of the latest Fabrics for
Spring, Moire Silks, Tafteta and Peau 1 >e Soire in great
profusion, Etamine and Sa beautiful line of Mercerized

ent with dependable coods.

this, our first anniversary, we wish toexpiess our thanks
To the Fiirmers and Stockm^.i

they have so liberally given to our Rank during the
past year. In spite of the short crops, our business
iias been entirely satisfactory. We think this i> largely

MENT.
An evejnt quite as enjoyable as
it was out of the ordinary occurred
in Woodmen circles here Friday
evening.
Tie Woodmen of Mexia Camp
repaired to their forest through
t.ha usual avenues without any
premonition of the delightful
surprise in store for them, as
there was nothing by the way-
side to distract their thoughts
from the stump and knotty prob-
lems that are wont to adorn their
forest.
Soon, however, after the camp
had been opened a noioe in the
aeteroorn attracted the attention
of the watchman who retired to
ascertain the cause of the unusual
commotion, lie soon returned
with the report that the anteroom
was in charge of the ladies of the
Woodmen Circle, and that the
naked, vacant stare of tins por-
tion of Fraternal hall had been
relieved by tables loaded down
with all kinds of good things
to eat.
Business was-quickly dispensed
with, the doors of the sanctum
sanctorum thrown open, and Dr.
Conrad and Walter Lewis escort-
ed the ladies in to hear the
camp's expression of surprise
and appreciation, as offered in a
very eloquent and appropriate
address by George A. Bell.
The ladies then conducted the
sovereigns to the table and in a
very pleasant and attentive man-
ner saw that each and every one
present was bountifully provid-
ed for.
After refreshments were finish-
ed Marerro Herring, of Groes-
beck camp, entertained the ladies
and the camp with an address
which for beauty and eloquence
added laurels to his already well
established reputation as an
orator.
The whole affair on the part
of the ladies was nicely planned
and sumptuously executed.
The ladies of the Woodmen
Circle are cordially invited to
meet with us under similar con-
ditions just as often as they
possibly can.
Blight's Disease.
Bright's Dissase is no respector of
persons; it attacks men and women,
the stong and robust, Lie rich and
poor, the active body and brain
workers, the fathers of families, the
bread winners in every sphere of life,
seeming to choose for its victims those
only who can least be spared. Smith's
Sure Kidney Cure is the only guaran-
teed remedy for Bright's Disease.
Your money back if it fails to cure.
Price 50 cents. For sale by Jesse Mc-
Lendon.

/
The Herald man received a
special invitation to be present
at the sc-hool house Monday
afternoon to witness t.he presen-
tation of the picture of the lace |
Miss Francis E. Wiliard to the
public school.
When school was dismissed
the pupils from the different
rooms were,lined up and marched
to the chapel where the presen-
tation took place.
Prof. Cousins explained the
object of the gathering and pre-
sented Mayor Doyle, who, in a
shcrt but appropriate speech pre-
sented the picture as a gift from
„he local branch W. C. T. li. to
the school children, explained
to them the noble life work of Presenting this theme hi

delegates to the convention go

Miss Wiliard and expressed
the desire that they might live as
she had lived—for the uplifting
of mankind.
Mrs. Ilellen M. Stoddard, the
state president of the organi-
zation, then spoke to the children
for a few momenta, supplement-
ing what the mayor had said
with a more detailed account of
the beautiful life and noble work
of Miss Wiliard, whom she
characterized as the equal of any
general the world had ever pro-
duced.
Prof. Cousins, then in a few
appropriate words accepted the
picture for the children, and
hoped that when they looked
upon the sweet face there on the
canvass they would learn that
the teachings cf Miss Wiliard
were correct. He said; "Re-
member one thing, whiskey wont
mix; it wont mix with success, it
wont mix with busir.ess, it wont
mix with religion.''
At the close of the ceremony
tiie children were marched out in
military order.
It was an appropriate gift and
was placed where it will do the
most good for posterity, for as
the boy is trained the man will
live in nine cases out of ten.
The picture is a good likeness
of Miss Wiliard and it will hang
in the chapel of the school
building.

Bob Taylor will appear in this
city at Turner Hall. Gov. Tay-
lor will present his latest lecture,
entitled "The Old Plantation."
will
have the assistance of a male
quartette, and music by this
quartette will be interwoven into
the lecture, bringing out,
strengthening and illustrating its
points of humor, pathos
beauty. In the various
which are given throughout the
lecture Gov. Taylor sings the
leading part. Clothing philosophy
in the gentle garb of humor and
song, he reaches the tenderest
sentiments of every heart. With
the versatility of his genius he
portrays the customs and oddities
of a people who built a civili-
zation which is now only a dis-
tant and tender memory. On the
wings of his oratory and the tide
ol his songs he goes back to the
days when the darkies sang in
the cotton fields and the "lords <
and ladies of the plantation,
mounted on their thoroughbreds,
mingled their shouts with the
music of the running hounds in
the joyous chase." —Dallas News.
Gov. Taylor will appear at the
Mexia opera house next Tuesday

one year with a pretty souvenir
in the shape of a silver medal.

agent here, received one and was
showing it to his friends. It is
the size of a silver dollar. On
one side is a poney express
messenger and the traditional
tally ho stage coach, being at-
tacked by Indians and road
agents, and the words: "Wells-
Fargo & Co." On the other side
there is a modern railroad train
and steamboats, and this line,

under it: Express and Banking
Fidelity.
The medal is intended to show
the advancement made in th3 ex-
press business during the pasi
