TEXAS MlNJN(r AN!) TRADE JOURNAL.
CRUMBS OF COMFORT
FOR THE ECONOMICAL
Every sensible man is thoughtful over his
personal appearance. It is often his capital,
his stock in trade. At times quite a question
of economy ; and a man abandons the idea
of tailor-made garments on account of the
high prices asked by the average tailor, and
resorts to a make-shift in the shape of a
ready-made suit. A matter of false economy.
M. BORN & CO.
THE GREAT CHtCAGO MERCHANT
TAILORS
make it possible for every man to have his
clothing made to measure. Their FuM
Line of Samples has just been received
and contains every element of worth. It was
never so large or so complete a plentitude
of all the novelties the market affords, and
at prices that are never equalled — quality always considered.
Twenty-three years of experience in one particular line, has es-
tablished for M. Born & Co. a reputation for honest and liberal
treatment. Every garment is guaranteed to At and give entire
satisfaction, or they need not be accepted. Their latest booklet,
"ARTISTIC CLOTHING FOR MEN," is free. Ask for a copy of it.
We would be pleased to have you come in and look the line over.

S leriff "T^b" Hume is in camp from Stephen-

the good work one more term. He is a Demo-
crat, and is running on that ticket.
The Bobbie Burns Birthday Ball Thursday
dight was a pronounced social success. Every-
body had a good time. Many pretty and unique
costumes were worn, and in every instance the
disguise was complete. A large crowd partici-
pated, and the spectators were numerous. No
more thoroughly enjoyable affair has been pulled
off in Thurber.
No, it wasn't a mule that kicked Fred Back on
the face. Better had it been. The windlees hold-
ing the heavy drop curtain at the Opera House
became dislodged Thursday night, and revolved
so rapidly that the iron crank was hurled through
a door into a private box in which Mr. Back and
a number of ladies were sitting. The iron struck
Mr. Back with terrii&c force, making an ugly and
painful wound. The ladies fortunately escaped
unhurt, but it was indeed a close call.
