Hons. H. S. Dillard and C. M.
Cureton returned Monday night
from Memphis where they appear-
ed as consul for Baker Jones in a
case wherein he was charged with
assault with intent to murder.
The case went to trial and the
jury returned a verdict of guilty
of aggrevated assault and was
fined. Jones and his father’s
tenant had a difficulty about two
years ago and Jones shot him
with a shotgun and it seems, from
the verdict of the jury, that he
was justified to some extent in
doing so.

I AVE YOU EVER WONDERED
at the unseen force in a magnetized piece of steel that attracts and
holds metal substances to itself? Has it occurred to you that a
dollar in the Bank has the same effect on the small change and the
dollars that you once wasted? We do our part by welcoming small
deposits. If you once get your first dollar in the bank, you are en-
titled to say: ‘I have a Bank Account’’ and your pride alone will
make a magnet of that first dollar that will draw additional dollars
to it. This has been the experience of others.

ELIER’S BIG SHOW.
W. A. Eiler presents “Ralph
R. Richardson in a new sensation-
al Five act western play, written
expressly for him by the well
known author, Hal Reid, entitled
•‘King of the Cattle Ring.” It is
a charming story of love and ad-
venture. The scenes are laid in
the mining regions of the golden
west, the play is rich in pathos
and fairly bubbling over with fun,
mirth and merriment. The mem-
bers of the supporting company
have been selected from the very
best material which the dramatic
market affords, and during the
action of the play a number of
pleasing specialties will be intro-
duced. The scenery and all ac-
cessories are appropriate and
abundant, and nothing has been
neglected which may have a ten-
dency to insure the success of the
play. “The King of the Cattle
Ring” will be presented at Meri-
dian on Dec 16 under a big tent.

Deer River, Minn., June 15,
1907. — Elier’s show company
played here last Monday night
presenting their five act drama
“The King of the Cattle Ring,” in
a very creditable manner. The
company is but lately from the
southwest, where the plot of the
play is laid, and consists of some
thirty people, more or less, includ-
ing a band and orchestra.
Although the weather was very
bad Monday night, a good atten-
dance was had and aside from the
fact that the noise of the rain
beating on the canvas prevented
some from hearing to the best
advantage, everyone expresses
themselves as very much pleased
with the show. At Meridian,
Monday, Dec. 16th.
In token of our gratitude, we
take this means of expressing our
thanks to the good people of
Meridian for the generous pound-
ing given us Wednesday evening.
On returning from pray meeting
this pastor found that “prince
among men,” Rev. Geo. Campbell
and most excellent- little wife at
the parsonage, and af er exchang-
ing greetings with them we found,
that they were the “advance
guard” of an army whose tramp,
tramp at once engaged our ears.
The door was thrown wide open
and on they came. First a tub of
lard, followed by sacks of flour,
meat, sugar, coffee, can goods, etc.,
and other things to numerous to
mention. It was indeed a pound-
ing of many pounds.
This company consisted of the
various denominations of our little
city and many who do not belong
to any church, but who appreciate
the church in so much that they
support her servants, and many
who were not present were repre-
sented by their donations.
These tokens of friendship
indicate to us that we are in the
midst of real friends, and we pray
that we may prove ourselves
worthy of their highest esteem
and confidence.
Rev. W. A. Manly and family.

I have decided at last
To get in the class,
So will give away baking powders
As long as they last.
With every cash purchase of one dollar,
I will give a can of Cascade Baking
powder.
They are as good as Dr. Price or any
other brand
So come right along and get yourself a
can
If you will buy five dollars worth for
cash
I will igive you a prescut pitcher—
made of glass.
But if you buy ten dollars worth out of
my stock
You will be presented with a pretty

But to give goods away I think it a sin.
I have on hand all kinds of toys,
That cannot fail to please the girls and
boys.
Yours for trade,

LETTER TO J. T. ESTES.
Meridian, Texas.
Dear Sir: If you should bake
bread that people like better than
any other, and at less cost by the
day, you’d have a pretty-good
business, wouldn’t you?
We have just such a business
as that in paint; a gallon goes
furtherthan any other gallon of
paint in the country—that’s bread
at less cost by the day; but the
difference isn’t so small as it is
in bread. And a job wears longer
—that’s bread at less cost by the
year. People hate to paint; it
costs money to paint; and they
hate the fuss. They like our
bread by the year. /
If your bread is better than
anybodyelse’s, and costs less too,
you’ve got a good trade; for peo-
ple do like good bread; and people
like money. It doesn’t take long
to find-out; give'em time.
But you can’t bake better-than-
any-body-else’s bread for half the
usual price for a breakfast, can
you?
Devoe is just such paint as
that. The price by the gallon or
loaf is n© matter. Count by the
day week month year litetime.
Devoe is the bread. We hope
yours is as good.
Yours trnly
F. W. Devoe & Co.
P. S.—R. B. Spencer & Co. sell
our paint.
Connolly is putting out
goods by the load.
The Estes Restaurant has
moved to the Iron building
north side of the square
permanently. Will arrange
more conveniently for the
public and solicit your trade.
