OUR BUYERS have just returned from a long buying trip to Eastern Markets, making purchases of every-
thing that was New and Up-to-Date for a dry goods store. So well did the people appreciate our efforts in
our Ladies’ Ready to Wear Department the past season, that we have spared no pains in selecting our
Spring Stock. Our business in this department for the past season was far beyond our expectations, so

CORN EXHIBIT AT FAIR
Another new feature this season will be Ladies’ Spring TAILORED WOOL SUITS in light weights and colors. We be-
lieve that the ladies, of Jaoksboro and surrounding country had rather buy from home merchants than to go to the
largerclties when they can get the same authoritative stylos at home as they can from the larger cities. According-
ly we spent days in New York looking over different high class lines of Ladies’ Tailored Suits, and we believe we have
gotten together the prettiest line of Suits you have ever seen, and they are cheap, too, in price but not in quality.
You can buy these suits at $15.00, $16.50, $19.50 and $22.50. v
Remember Easter Gomes early this year, and one of these prGtty new suits wlii certainly be appropriate.
Pretty Hand Embroid-
ered Waists
Those pretty hand embroidered
wasite are beauties, too. Beautiful
designs embroidered on pure Irish
linen, and in a variety of styles. We
have a nice stock to select from,
and* the prices are very reasonable
—$3.50, $3.95, and $4.50.
Ladies* Beautiful Linen
Shirt Waists
Another very attractive showing
in our New Spring Goods is our Lin-
en (shirt Waists. Shirt Waists you
know are going to be very popular
this season. You can buy a pretty
Tailored strictly Pure Linen Shirt,
Waist for $2.00 and $2.50, and
when you consider that the making
is of the very best you will see that
the price is cheap.

Ladies’ New Spring
Pumps and Oxfords
Our very popular line of “IJutten-
hofer” Oxfords and Pumps has ar-
rived in completeness. The styles
a-
and finish on these slippers is far
beyond anything we have shown.
•
Pumps are going to be largely in
vogue again this summer, both in
patents and vicis. We are showing
a very pretty Patent Pump, with
large buckle on toe, that we think is
one of the most stylish numbers in
our line. The price is $3.50
Then in the'Yid Pump we have
several different styles in both
heavy and light soles. These look
exceptionally good at $2.50 and
$3.00* In all we have about 25
new spring styles' in ladies* slippers,
every one of which we have receiv-
ed within the last two weeks.
Laces and Embroideries
Immense shipments of our Spring
Laces and Embroideries have al-
ready arrived. We compared the
lines of several of the largest hous-
es in the east, and we believe that
we have gathered together the pret-
tiest line of laces and embroideries
ever shown in Jacksboro.
The patterns are certainly pretti-
er than ever before, and we have
both the edges and the insertions to
match. The prices are cheap—5^,
7^,8 1-3^, 15£, 12 *4 £ and 15£
Several pretty designs in Em-
broidery edgipg with yoking and in-
sertions to match. These are priced
50c to $1.00 per yard, but of course
we have the Biggest and Best line
of Edges and Insertions that we ev-
er had, to sell for 8 1-3^, lOfS
12 and 15<.
Colored Linens and Pop-
lins for Early Wear
We are showing in our Dress
Goods department some of the very-
newest colors in Linens and Poplins.
We have a beautiful pure linen, 27
inches wide, in Blue, Rose, Reseda,
and navy, that you can buy for on-
ly 25c the yard.
Those Mercerized Poplins in the
very -newest shades of Rose, Gray,
wisteria and reseda are certainly
beauties at only 50c the yard.
The material is very popular for
one piece dresses for early spring
wear. Will you come in and let us
show you the pretty new goods?
Men’s Easter Suits
Our already large showing of
Men’s Suits is the talk of the town.
This season we have used the ut-
most care in the matter of style
and workmanship.
* A PROMINENT FEATURE of our
Clothing Department is the addition
of the celebrated HART, • SCHAFF-
NAR & MARX line of high class
clothing. Beyond a doubt this line
of clothing is the Best Line of
Clothing in America. Every gar-
ment is tailored to perfection and
the materials are strictly all wool.
Grays are popular colors for spring,
and you will find our showing of
suits far superior to anything you
have ever seen in Jacksboro.
We invite you to come in early
and make your selection.
The prices range from$10.00 to
$22.50. *
Men’s New Spring Ox-
fords
Our new Spring Packard Oxfords
for men have just arrived. By look-
ing over the line you will readily no-
tice their superiority in style and
workmanship. The wear which you
receive from a “Packard” is always
satisfactory.
Of course, patent leather will have
^ as much favor as in former years,
but Tans are going to be worn more
than ever this season. A few gray
gun metals will also be worn. We
are showing a very large line of
Patents, Tans, and a few Grays.
Everybody knows the price.
, They are $3.50 »nd $4.00.
We have told you of a few of the many new things which we are now showing. The biggest line
of Red Seal Ginghams we are showing. Everybody knows they are 10c the yard. A partial
shipment of our Spring Hats have arrived. Every day brings us new goods, and you can visit
our store as often as you like with the expectation of seeing something new. May we expect you?
PERKINS BROTHERS & CO
Coliseum Will Be Completed by Ju-
ly Is Statement—Seating Capac-
ity to Exceed 10,000.
Dallas, March 10.—Of all the
space in the hog barns at the TexasT
State Fair Grounds, but three stalls
remain untaken. This statement
was made yesterday by Secretary
Smith of the Fair Association. Most
of the space in the cattle and horse
departments has been spoken for; (
nearly all of it actually engaged.
For space all over the grounds, the
privileges and concessions, Capt.
Smith says nearly everything has
been closed. All things indicate a
widespread interest in the Fair for
this year, he says.
Besides the work of improving the
grounds in every part of the park;
and some repairs to certain build-
ings, the work on the coliseum ia
being pushed. It is the promise' of
the contractor, who is now engaged
in placing the steel work, that the
structure shall be complete not later
than July 1.
“Following that,” Capt. Smith
said, “there will be taken into con-
sideration the matter of seating of
and fitting for its general uses.
Judging of Live Stock.
“Live stt^ck will not be judged in
the Coliseum. It was never so in-
tended. It is too far away from
the cattle and stock barns. The Col-
iseum will, be used for the horse
show programs and for general audi-
torium purposes.. There will be no
galleries in the place—not at first,
anyway. The seating capacity wii*
be more tnan 10,000 without galler-
ies. Well find plenty of use :rr
the place. ’
“Judging of cattle, hogs arid
stock generally will be at the barns.
We expect to nse the big tent as
usual. That will be more conven-
ient than any attempt to have the
cattle and stock taken to the Coli-
seum. Through the crowds we
have on the Fair Grounds it would
be impossible to undertake to do
that. The exhibitors would not
want the stock taken through the
hot sun or through mud in bad
weather, all the' Way from the live
stock department to the Coliseum.
Plenty of Horse Stalls.
“We have plenty of stalls for
horses. Since the race bill ckme in
Texas the stables are ample for
horses of all sorts at the grounds.
“There will be racing this year,
not as extensively as in some pre-
vious years, but plenty of it to
please the people.
“There are to be no additional
buildings erected this year. The
Coliseum will be the only new one.
The Agricultural Hall will be big
enough for this year, we expect.”
. Prizes for Best Corn.
J. L. Quicksall of Waco, W. F.
Proctor of Tyler, William Ganzer of
Denton, Walter E. Davis of Cle-
burne and F. W. Yeager of Bryan
composed a committee here Tuesday
afternoon to arrange for an exhibit
at the State Fair by the Corn Grow-
ers’ Association and to submit a
prize list offered by the associlftlon
for corn. It is expected between
$3,000 and $5,000 will be offered
next fall for exhibits in this depart-
ment. It is stated the Bankers’ As-
sociation, in session at Fort Worth,
donated $1,000 to this prize list
Members of the committee said
sixty counties will be represented
in the exhibit by the Boys’ Cori
Clubs and more than 800 boys will
be directly interested, v

JACKSBORO,
TEXAS
Society of Christian En-
deavor.
Endeavor Society has
zed at the First Chris-
The officers for the
six months, beginning March
are:
,Mrs. G, G. Alexander.
Pres., Mr. J. P. Simpson.
Sec’y., Miss Hazel Leath.
Trees., Miss Maude Sewell.
Organist, Miss Sula Craig.
We have arranged to meet each
Sunday night at 6:45 which is forty-
five minutes before preaching.
The Society begins its work with
an enrollment of twenty. Many oth-
ers are expected to take member-
ship with us. Our membership con-*
sists of persons who are honorary,
active, and associate members. We
ask all worthy, substantial young
persons in Jacksboro, who are not
engaged in any definite work of
this nature, to visit us, examine our
work, and decide to cast your lot
with us. '
The Christian Endeavor motto Is,
“For Christ and the Church.” Its
object is “To promote an earnest
Christian life among its members, to
increase their mutual acquaintance,
and to make them more useful in
the service of God.” This work
bears very much the same relation
to the church that the Bible school
does. It is in the churph, of the
church, by the church, and for the
church.
Our first meeting held last Sun-
day night was a splendid one, and
the work in prospect looks very en-
couragin’g. We wish to be busy-
bodies but not the kind you have in
mind at first thought. .We are anx-
ious about our Lord’s work, hence
believe in using every legitimate
means for prosecuting the work of
the church.
It is said that there are two
kinds of people 'in the Christian
Church in Texas.—-That one kind
believe in gettin’ up and gettin’ and
the other kind believe in settin’
down and settin’. It is hardly nec-
essary to say that the members of
this Endeavor movement belong to
the former class.
There are at present 7200 En-
deavor Societies .in the Christian
Church. These gave, last year,
$36,338.08 for missions.
Our Church and each department
in it have certain aims to work to
realize. The following are our aims
in Christian Endeavor:—
Our Aims. .
2000 new Societies by 1911.
2000 Mission Study Classes by
1911.
$50,000 for missions this mission-
ary year.
