A. J. BROWN.
This is no delusion, but actual and
candid facts, and we are here to
ewear by what we say, and if our
word is not good for it, the goods
and prices are here to speak in thun-
der tones for themselves. The hand-
some styles, low prices, and varied
assortment is what catches the pub-
lic; that is why Brown's people are
always busy waiting on their cus-
tomers. Those who have been
trading elsewhere and paying long-
prices, hould look to their own in-
i'latests by going to A. J. Browns
and save money.

JDr. M. S. Crow died at his resi-
dence in Stephenville, of muscular
rheuraat ism, on Tuesday, May 3, at
8:46 a. in , and was buried on Wed-
nesday, at East End, at 8:30 a. in. They
Dr. was about one month over 56
years old. He had been a citizen of
Stephenville for a long period of
years, where he accumulated a hand-
some fortune. His life has been an
active one, for, outside of his landel
interests,he has enjoyed an extensive
medical practice. Those who knew
Dr. Crow beat recognized the fact
that his life was not a selfish one, for
there are hundreds whom, in a quiet,
unostentatious way, were helped by
him when they were sorely in need of
assistance. He owned a great deal
of land, but reoognized the fact that
it would be selfish to withhold it
t
from settlement, and there are many
men in Erath county to-day who
have happy homes secured from Dr.
Crow on such favorable terms and
time that they were enabled to pay
for them. Some would get in hard
places through misfortunes, but the
Dr. never sold their homes. When
they explained their cases to him he
would merely tell them to keep the
land and try their luck on another
crop. When he believed a man was
honest and energetic he could not
be too poor to get from him sufficient
land for a good farm. There are a
number of instances where be has
told farmers to look around and find
land where they wanted it In such
oases he bought and paid for the
land, anti allowed the parties ample
time in which to reimburse him. In
a quiet way he dispensed considera-
ble charity, and many hearts will be
made sad when it is learned that the
days of his usefulness on earth has
been cut 6horb He was an uncom-
promising enemy to tho man who
injured him, but friends were never
refused assistance, wholesome ad
vice or counsel when they went to
him. All the doctor desired was
faith in their honesty and integrity.
In his death Eratli county has lost a
most useful and valuable citizen, and
many friends mourn his loss.
The remains were tenderly cared

been a lending member. The band
preceded the procession, which was
followed by the Odd Fellows and
Masons, and a large number of car-

largest that has ever been witnessed
in Stephenville. The burial ceremo-

the residence, and that of the Odd

the Masons again took charge, and
finished the last obligation due from
the order to its deceased members.

* There is no use in attempting to
oonceal the fact that the failure of
Congress to pass the silver coinage
bill has weakened the faith, at leaBt
in Erath county, of a great many
people in the Democratic party. De
mocratio orators taught the people
to believe that the free coinage of
silver was a good thing, and they
made the lower house democratic by
an overwhelming majority. After
they got the offices the members
evidenced their cowardice by % re-
fusal to pass the silver bill, and many
democrats in Erath county regret
this evidence of weakness on the
part of Congresa. The Empire
may receive harsh criticisms tor
even calling attention to this matter,
but the editor sees no harm in stat-
ing wbat be considers facts. If De
mocratic Congressmen continue to
ooquotte with the people on this
grave question, there is no telling
what the result will be. It must not
be forgotten that a Republican ma-
jority of 80,000 in Kansas was wiped
out, and the same forces are at work
in Texas to-day, and the tide is gain-
ing strength. No one can deny
this. If Congress docs not want to

and tho girls all kissed them. They
don’t do so now. Their sweotness
has been wasted on the desert air.
Their childish innocence, like a geu

FOR
Those who know Judge C. K..
Bell regard him as the ab’cet man in
the distriot to wear congressional
honor* On all political and econ-
omical question*, he is sound, lie
is a strong advocate of the fiee
coinage of silver—a question in
whioh the citizens of this district
sre deeply interested—snd, if he goes
to Congress—citisens of Texas will
be proud of him. As a public man
—and he has been frequently honor-
ed by the people—he has made fewer
mistakes and more friends than al-
most any man in Texas. As district
attorney he discharged his duties so
s stisf actor tally and ably that he won
the confidence and respect of his
entire district, sod the people elect-
ed him to the Senate of Texas. Af-
terwards he became district judge,
and the duties of this office have
been discharged with fairness, im-
partiality snd ability. He is a tal-
ented speaker, posted on all the im-
portant issues of the day. He is of
tbe people, knows their wants, snd
in Congress he will have tbe
hood and courage to work for such
legislation aB will assist in giving
them relief from tbe burdens of gov-
ernment. Mr. Bell is now a candi-
date for Congress. If the people
elect him, tbey will have a man . in
the national legislature of irreproach
able character. Mr. Bell should, by
all means, be elected.

There is a disposition at this age
to favor the poor man. Tho people
like to help those who have not been
fortunate in securing an abundance
of the good things of this world. In
voting men into office this principle
is often quite rigidly adhered to.

and he is sure that he will be able to
make tbe people a valuable public
servant. The laws will be enforced
against all alike, and no one but tbe
