Why is it that, notwithstanding the
complaint of dull trade, my sales are
as large now as at any time during
the year t
/ believe it is because, beside filling orders
promptly and with first-class goods, I
am content with small uniform profits
all the year round—do not charge car-
rying prices.
Alsc, bccanse orders sent to me by mail
are filled with the same care, with as
good selections, and at as low prices
as if the purchaser were buying the
goods in person, with cash in hand.

Dallas Herald, was appointed commissioner on
Thursday last, before the date of Hardeu-
1 rook's published card declining tho honor.
The manner in which the governor has
shuttled around in this matter is the subjec
ef a great deal of unfavorable comment. Somo

For pensioning prisoners of war who were

Whereas a few officers, soldiers and sailors
of the federal army and navy, while coulined,
in so-called confederate prisons, were selected
and taken as hostages from the general or
ordinary prisons and confined iu cells under
Libby prison and in other tdaces of close cou-
fij eiuent, suffering thereiu far greater hard-
ships than in the ordinary prisons an I con

tuie deliberation, it; was conclude I tha> it
could not stand the stamp ac', vvhi h required
^:(J(0 cash to buy enough stamps for t'ae stock
of goods 011 band. In this connection The
News reporter makes the following statement:
That the effect of the ,tau>p act in Mexico
will be to destroy all the ad'-auiages given tho
Zeuia Libra for this lvasou—th it the present
stamp duties will put all Kogiish and FreuoU
j:ex>ds heretofore imported into that belt,
liee of duty, at a price which will
enable the merchants on thi» side to. soil
ihem for less than the Mexican merchants, an 1
the effect will be that not only will the tiioas-
ands of dollais spent annuaiiy by Americans
frcm this side in Mexico for t-hejpurch ise of
contraband goods be spent with our merchants
but Mexican citizens residing iu the Zona Libra
will be forced to come to this side to do their
trading, because under the Zona Libra act they
can take all purchases made iu that district
free of duty. It is safe to say that the retail
business of Laredo will bo more than doable I
l y this cause. •
The Mobile Rifles is the favorite company
in the j ools sold iu Laredo on the interstate
cliill at Houston.
1 be pi e*ent schedule time between Sau An
