few momenta it looked as if the

or less injured, but fortunately the
horse's zeal as a kioker cooled before
any damage was done and all went
along smoothly during the remainder
of the trip.

Its claim to givo more news than
any other papor in the county, and
its unsettled policy regarding poli-

The Red Store will probably leave
Dublin. Just what point it will go to
is not known. The Red Store is a
greet bouse to do business. They
do a big advertising business and in
that way draw a great deal of trade
to a town that would go to other
places. Men who are instrumental
in drawing trade to a town do much
good for their neighbors as well as
themselves.

Stepbonville, Tex., Aug, 28. As
cotton ginning time is now with us
again, 1 take this method of thank-
ing iny numerous friends and
patrons of former seasons and in-
forming them ns well ns the many
additions to our agricultural popu-
lation, which we havo gladly ro-
received tho past year, that I have
entirely rebuilt and enlarged my
gin the post summer, putting in
new machinery throughout giving
it an easy capacity of fifty bale*
per day aud I tliiisk 1 can safely
say I havo as good a gin ns thero
is in Texas. I have received a
liberal sharo of your patronage in
whatever I have been engaged for
many years. Whctln r this pat-
ronage has been merited you are
tho judges, Let me assure you
that for this patronage 1 feel grate-
ful and that 1 am now much bettor
than ever prepared to serve you.
i shall in the future as in the post,
do my utmost to please overy pa-
tron of my mill and gin. Tho
prico of ginning will bo one-four-
tccntli as heretofore. I shall reg-
ulate the charges for ginning each
week by tho prico of cotton, so as
to got one-fourteenth of what the
cotton is worth, no more or no loss,
The price of bagging and tics will
lio less than last season. I am
prepared to furnish them as low as
the lowest. The prioe of seed has
not yet been fixed, but I have inaije
arrangementi with our home mills
that will enable me to pay the top
■prico evory day. Come over any
day from now on and bring youf
wife, and I shall take pleasure in
showing you the nicest, oleunest,
bent arranged cotton gin in the
state. None but sober, civil, cour-
toons and industriou men kept
tho promises. Plonty of

different from their own. The Em-
pire feels proud of the compliment
■aid it as an advertising medium,
t has always claimed that through
its columns more people could be
reached than any other paper in
the countjr, and this is the object
of advertising. In fact it know-
this all tho time, but it’ is rarely
the case you can get a competitor
to admit it. Now, the advertise-
ments of the Journal will appear
for some weeks. The Empire is
not responsible for what is said in
them. It reserved the right, how-
ever, to joke them on any point.
Our advertisers generally find it
pays them many times over lor tho
money spent in advertising through
our columns, and we hope the same
experience for tho Journal.
Stophcnville has an abundance
of money to buy cotton, and what /
lit hasn’t got it can get. Stcphcn-
vllle wants every bale of cotton ill
this and adjoining counties that it
con possibly get by paying tho very
best prico remember thfs and
