SEVEN
BACKWARD GLANCES
BY A. \V. NKV1LLK, In Paris News
Rhine Brothers Were Big Merchants
When Their Store at Clarksville Burned They Moved
Goods From Paris to Continue Business.
iu 1857 A. lthine ami Brothers had
u chain ot stores—at Clarksville and
I'aris and Bonhaui and later at
McKinney. In that year a fire de-
stroyed their store in Clarksville and
in the Clarksville Standard of Aug.
S, 1857, they had an advertisement to
inform the people that they were
still in business. Its style is so dif-
ferent from what an advertisement
today would be that 1 am reproducing
it. It read:
"The undersigned are happy to an-
nounce to their friends and custom-
ers that notwithstanding the late
serious disaster which swept away
their place of business in Clarksville
they will keep up a stock of goods
which will be opened at the store-
house on the northwest corner of the
square, opposite Airs. Honoho's hotel
until such time as they can get an-
DOCTOR^KNOW
Mothers read this:
in uurau
A cleansing dose today; a smaller
quantity tomorrow; less each time,
until bowels need no help at all.
Why do people come home from' a
hospital with bowels working like a
well-regulated watch?
The answer is simple, and it's the
answer to all your bowel worries if
you will only realize it: many doctors
and hospitals use a liquid laxative.
If you knew what a doctor knows,
you would use only the liquid form.
A liquid can always be taken in
gradually reduced doses. Reduced
dosage is the secret of any real relief
from constipation.
Ask a doctor about this. Ask your
druggist how very popular liquid
laxatives have become. They give the
right kind of help, and right amount
of help. The liquid laxative generally
used is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
It contains senna and cascara — both
natural laxatives that ctin form no
habit, even in children. So, try Syrup
Pepsin. You just take regulated
doses till Nature restores regularity.
other house up on the old cormi, tilt-
contract for which is already made.
"They will (Oinbine with the goods
saved from their late premises the
stock which they have in Paris,
Lamar county, and offer the whole at
a rate far under any others selling
in Clarksville—that is to say, at cost
and carriage. Their motive for this is
to get rid of ALL the old stock and
lit pare a place for an entire new and
large stock of General .Merchandise,
which they will purchase immediately
in the north.
"Feeling no inclination to yield to
adverse fortune but determined by
energy anu the constant pursuit of
the mercantile profession to make a,
livelihood they will continue their
business on a large scale, regardless
of open rivalry or secret enmity, and
will feel confident of retaining the
business of their many friends and
customers by the same means which
have enabled them to pet it hereto-
fore, viz: by purchasing large stocks
of goods in the best markets at the
i most advantageous rates which en-
ables them to undersell many who
i have not the same legitimate busi-
ness facilities. They know they can
! compete advantageously by fair
means, with any persons in the same
line because they have long estab-
lished business arrangements equal
to those of any other house in this
section.
"We hope that our old customers
who may be in arrears will regard
the present as a fit time to render all
the assistance in their jxtwer to re-
lieve "s of the effect of our losses.
Call and see us at the new stand,
northwes-t corner public square, op-
posite Donoho house and west of the
post office.''
The Messrs Rhine were entitled to
what they said as to their buying
ability for they were for years the
largest and most prosperous mer-
<hauls of this section, says Mr.
Neville.
WcKirvney House.
Scores of the older citizens of Mc-
Kinney remember Abe Rhine and
Ben Rhine, dry goods merchants and
cotton buyers who were in husiness
here in (he 70's on up to the time
of the death of Abe Rhine who is
buried in Pecan Grove cemetery here.
One of the most beautiful monu-
ments in Pecan Grove marks his
family burying plot. His wife is bur-
ied there also. They lived on Benge
Street at first in a pretty little 'white
cottage. Mr1-. Rhine was a great lover
,iT !lew, rs and shrubs. They owned
i the wlu'h bli t k half :;ht and it
was 1 v nv«<: with Bnis i. Are pickets
ii" posts us was the custom in that
tarly day. The front y«.rd was fenced!
with pretty whiu jm k< ts We can re- j
call the beautiv of that hi.- vine and j
flower covered yard. Later on Mr. I
anil Mis Rhine erected the first brick
residence ever built in McKinney It
was a two story, building with all the
convi nit nee*—for those days—to be
had by people able to pay for them.
But there was no public light, water
or sewer system at that time.
After the death of Mr. and Mrs,
Rhine the brick residence was bought
by Wm. Purnt 11, who was a leading
dry goods man of this city, and fath-
er of Tip Purnell of the Smith l rug
Store. Mr. Purnell installed all the
modern city conveniences that came
on about that time.
Mr. Abe Rhine's store was located
on the corner lot now occupied by
F. B. Pope's beautiful new building
which has just been occupied by the
McKinney Dry Goods Co. The Rhine
building was two story and the brick
painted black. Iron bars protected the
windows. It faced the north. No win-
dows on east side. No show windows
at all. Narrow double door. We recall
that dark dry goods store and can
still see John Ousley, standing in the
door. He was young then. After a, few-
years hi' moved to Celina. where he
raised his family and died. HiR son.
Edgar Ousley later becoming mayor
of Celina when that village became a
beautiful, modern little city.
Mr Ben W. Rhine sold his business
here and moved back to Paris, where
his widow and their children now-
live. We received a letter from Mrs.
Rhine, only a few days ago. She is
far advanced in age. But loves her
old time McKinney friends. She came
here as a bride from Paris and she
and Mr. Rhine, built their first pret-
ty home on the lot now covered by
Dr. Caldwell's Sanitarium.
Thus the River of Time moves on
toward the great ocean of Eternity.
But we love to look back sometimes
just to see who is following and bid
them good cheer, for there's plenty
of happiness for all (and trouble too)
as we journey towards the end.
