NEW
GOODS!
The summer season is rapidly drawing1 to a close. Another week will usher in the new commercial year, one that promises to he the most prosperous
that Texas has known for a very long' while. With an abundant harvest, and peace and plenty smiling* on every hand, everyone should feel happy, because
all must share in the general prosperity. Lewi 11 Bros. & Co., extend their hearty congratulations to the farmers and people generally of Cooke county and
of the Indian Territory upon the favorable outlook.
^ Relying upon the indications of general prosperity Lewin Bros. & Co., have arranged to offer to their patrons the coming season the largest and most
complete stock of Dry Goods, Notions, Clothing, Furnishing Goods and all the lines of merchandise handled by them ever brought to Texas, and they are
prepared to offer these goods at prices which cannot be undersold.
A WORD MORE—Our Mr. Melasky is now in the East purchasing' largely from the mills and factories, and new goods are constantly arriving. Novel-
ties are being received daily, and we are kept busy opening and displaying new goods. Meanwhile we have a large stock of Summer Goods which we do
not wish to carry over, and in which we are prepared to offer bargains. Come and see them.

Joe Wilson returned Sunday
from Cincinnati and other cities
in the North, which he visited
durimghis several weeks' absence.
He brought back with him a silk
badge, presented him by his moth-
er, which was used in the Harri-
son campaign of is in. It is
adorned with the portrait of the
hero of Tippecanoe, a picture of a
typical log cabin and a ship of
state. It also contains the follow-
ing words artistically arranged:
"Major-General William Henry
Harrison, Hero of Tippecanoe,
Fort Meigs and Thames."
Joe is very proud of this me-
mento and no doubt will keep it
among his precious keep-sakes of
antiquity while he remains on
these mundane shores.

Territory Cotton Raisers
Parties in the city Monday from
the Territory say that a large
amount of cotton from Lone Grove
and that part of the Territory will
be marketed at Ardmore this year
for the reason that a large number
of the farmers do not like to take
chances in fording Red river,
which they have to do in order to
reach Gainesville. This again
demonstrates the necessity of hav-
ing a bridge across that stream
over some point that connects
with a good road leading to this
city. The Territory farmers pre-
fer selling their cotton in the
Gainesville market to selling it in
Ardmore and would most certain-
ly bring it here could they se-
cure safe transportation over that
treacherous stream called Red
river.
position on the brake-beam, came
out ami was standing by the train,
and when it began to hack up pre-
paratjry to starting south he made
an effort to run between the wheels
and reach the place where he had
been riding, but he failed in the
attempt and „was caught by the
backing wheels, six of which pass-
ed over his legs, cutting one of
them off above the knee and the
other one below the knee, and also
mashing one hip and otherwise
bruising the head and body more
or less. The mangled body was
picked up and afterwards placed
in the caboose and Dr. J. N.
Smith, of Daugherty, by the
authority of trainmaster T. H.
Conney of this place was employ-
ed to take charge of the wounded
man and accompany him to
Gainesville, which he did, giving
him all the medical attention it
was possible to extend under the
circumstances. The young lad
lingered in the greatest agony un-
til about 5 o'clock, when death re-
leived him of his suffering jnst as
the train reached Overbrook.
The corpse was brought to
Gainesville, where it arrived about
9 o'clock and.was taken to Pierce's
undertaking establishment, where
it was dressed and coffined and
will be shipped to Dallas to-day.
The father of the unfortunate lad,
who is said to have been about
sixteen years. of age, was tele-
graphed toby the railroad author-
ities here, and he sent word that
he would arrive here on the first
train to take charge of the body.
Young Long and his two white
companions ran away from their
homes in Dallas one week ago
Monday and had beat their way
on freight trains as far north as
Winfield, where they decided to
retrace their steps and go back
to their parental roofs by stealing
through underneath freight cars.
The remainder of the gang were
brought in on the freight laet night
along with the dead boy. The
passengers who were on the train
and the train hands gave them
money enough to pay for their
supper and lodging Monday night
and advised them to goto their
homes as speedily as possible,
which they humbly promised to
to do. Dr. Smith came to the
city also with the body and wil
return home to-day.
The Hare-Davis Debate.
Whatever else may be said of
the Hare-Davis debate last night,
this much is certain. Hare was
put in the awkward attitude of
acting on the defensive from first
to last, and in all he said he did
not show one single thing that he
had done during the two years he
has been to congress to entitle
him to a return. He did not write
h i e tariff speech; he was not the au-
thor of the Indian deprepredation
♦ill and his vote on the Thuebe-Car-
isie contest in connection with
the fact that he accepted an ap-
•ointment under the Edmund J.
Davis administration as district
udge, is decidedly suspicious.—

Ardmore Mines.
From the best information that
can be learned about the virtual
abandonment of the Ardmore coal
mines by the Santa Fe is that it
partakes more of the nature of a
"freeze out" of certain parties
than anything else. People
who are in a position to know
say there is no end to the coal in
those mines and that of good qual-
ity, and that the Santa Fe com-
pany is as much convinced of
these facts as any one, which is
demonstrated by the great ex-
pense this company has already
gone to in building a road grade
to the mines. This grade is over
three mile# in length and most
f it has been finished and ready
for laying the ties, besides, they
have also invested considerable
money in establishing a saw mill
on the grounds and opened a coal
shaft 150 feet deep. It would
seem as if there might be a ^ood
sized bug under the chip.
