Cool and Refreshing.:.:
••

mind is how to keep comfortable daring
the heat of summer. I mean to do my
part and if you will 4° yours I think we
can make a success of it. I have the
very nicest place in town to get a cool
and refreshing drink. You can't help
tout be pleased. I can give you as great
a variety as you will find in much larger
places than Seymour. Among these I
mention Dr. Pepper, Coco Cola, Sherbert,
Orange Glace, etc. I serve all these just
as they should be served. I keep my
store neat and clean and I am sure that
one visit will insure a repetition.
Special.
I am making a very special bid for the
ladies' trade. Nowhere will you find it
so quiet and free from bums and loafers
as here. I wish to emphasize this as I
am sure it is a point that you will appre-
ciate. A call wfli be highly gratifying.

Have Regard for tbe Living.
-- In speaking of the killing at
Hasketi a few weeks ago, the
Texas Lasso-has the following:
The affair is sadly to be re-
gretted, both men have many
friends in this town and couuty,
and both were prosperous livery
stable men. The grief of Mr.
Yoe's family over his death is in-
describable. A widow and three
little children, several sisters, add
an aged father and mother, whose
only son he was, ate left to mourn
his death.
The little daughter of Mrs. Will
Yoe, had the misfortune to stick a
nail in one of her feet last Satur-
day night during the excitement
incident to the sad death of her
father. The little one has suf-
fered much pain with the wound.

feet from tip to tip of its wings.
