Jesse W. Jenkins,
The Jeweler,
Is now thoroughly settled down to business in his new stand in the Hudson Block, and can satisfy the most fastidious searcher after anything in
his line. His two stocks have been combined and the whole stock replenished until he now has an ideal jewelry store.—It is lacking in nothing.

Our First Texas beer canteen
opened on the 4th of the month,
and sold out all the beer the first
«lav. They closed on Sunday
and opened up Monday with a
fresh lot of beer, which went
pretty last. On the Mh the can-
teen caught lire from a cigarette
which was c.irulesnlv dropped in
a pile ot straw at the back door.
The first hattallion of the First
Texas, composing companies II.

march to I'.il.no to get the kinks
out of their knees and tr\ their
walking qualities.

lee, bread and beau , and once in
a while a piece of bull neck that
was sent Irom the Swift Packing

vou know a soldier ought to drill

Jt ;• Brown, our artificer, is
waiting \ery patiently for the
lamber to come so he can make ,
ra ks for our cots to sit on. Tin
racks will be !«• iru hes high, and
the cots are 12 inches, so that will
put us 2* inches above the
ground, which will be better, for
it puts us further from the damp-
ness.
Kvcry «lay you will hear a ru-
mor that we will be mustered out
in ui days. I say ves, we will yet j
mustard out ot a bottle. That
is one thing (¿en. Lee don't

is the commander-in-chief of the

The V, \|, C, A. of the army
'•as djmated more to the boys'
v, inf«>rt than any other chari-
table association in the I'nited
States. They furnish the writ-
'"g material, reading mutter,
pens and iak and a comfortable j
place to reatl or w rite. I think i
the churches would be doing

for the V. M. C. A. than for for-

The Cubans are one hundred
years behind the times. Their
sugar factory is a curiosity. The
sugar looks like it is mixed with
dirt. The Cubans eat a dish the
name of which I have never been
able to find out. They take
sugar cane, peel ofT the outside,
slice it up, add vinegar, put it in
a pan and fry it. It may be
wholesome, but I don't wish any.
The Cuban beer is aa bitter as
gall; I don't think it is made like
American beer. Our canteen
won't sell it. The colonel savs
he is going to get American keg
beer and sell it for live cents a
«juart. so when the boys goto get
a beer they will carry a quart I
cup to put it in. When the boys
¡•re fbusted the captain will
write out any amount for hecks.
The soldier takes the check over
antl signs it and gets his one or
two dollars in five cent checks.
On pay day they pay the captain
and he pays the canteen.

You have probably heard people talk about having unheard-of bargains. Well, we don't
claim that we have all the bargains that anybody ever had, but we wish to simply state
that, to clean out the large amount of shelf-worn goods in our recently purchased stock
we have this week established
ft BARGAIN COUNTER
on which will be placed a largo part of our general stock. We now have on this counter
twenty odd remnants of calico and better goods at from 10c up for the piece. Among
i other things, as sample prices, we quote you Ladies' Hose at Sc., and Children's
Good* Serviceable Shoes at 10c. This and lots more of the same kind is what we
shall do. Come and look and vou will be sure to buv.
