We are selling Ladies’ Suits that are
worth double the price we ask, but that
makes no difference, we bought them
cheap and are sell-
ing them, too. Ask.!
any lady who has
seen these suits and
she will tell you they
are cheap. Yes,
cheaper than the
material could be
bought for off of
the bolt. We had
to buy a lot of them
to get them at our
price, so don’t be
afaid you can’t get
a fit and the color
you want, for it is
surely here in a size
and color that will
please you. And to make things “hum”
a little livelier on Tuesday we are going to
offer, (and you can take our word for it),
the greatest bargains in ail silk taffeta
ribbons and wash belts ever offered the
people of Lampasas. All nice, new, clean,
crisp ribbons in every imaginable color, in
widths from 4 to 6 inches, for Tuesday the
price will be only 14c and 19c the yard.
About 500 wash belts, another lot of this
season’s buying, most ail white ones, some
few light colors, not a one that isn’t cheap
at 35c to 50c, but for Tuesday the price
will lie each. COME! The goods and our
prices will do the rest.

The rates are very low, and

One other opportunity is offered
us to meet our comrades in this
life. ’Tis the greatest pleasure
of our lives. We are all old men ;
we enjoy each others associations
the very short time remaining us.
Let us keep time—steady—to the
front; and, when the last Con-
federate is gone, may it be said:
We were tried, found true, and
have been gathered to our God,
the most remarkable people that
history has ever recorded. Boys,
let not the old flag trail in the
dust when taps are sounded for
us to face our eternal destinies
with that unswerving faithun God,
as we have been faithful to the
principles of the cause we held
so dear.

ing) the government burial
grounds of many of our com-
rades.

favors Dry Land farming.
M. Little of Lampasas, presi-
dent of the Little & Barnes Lum-
ber company of that city, is in
San Antonio, working out of this
city to establish lumber yards in
a number of West Texas towns.
“I have just started,” he said
last evening when seen at the St.
Anthony hotel, “but I have es-
tablished a few lumber yards and
hardware stores. l am going to
establish about six more in the
immediate future, but can not
say at this time where they will
be. I have great faith in these
Southwest Texas towns. This
country is growing fast, and I
want to get in on the ground
floor. These little towns are go-
ing to be big, bustling places in
a few years.
“I am also interested in land
in this section. I have 7000 acres
near Asherton that I bought a
short time ago from William
Cassin of this city. It is in the
irrigation belt, and I am going to
cut it into small farms.
“I also have a large tract near
Webb station that I am having
cultivated on the dry farming-
plan. That is the* great thing for
this country. Of course there
are places that are particularly
favored for irrigation, and it will
always be used there, but the
greater development of West
Texas farming lands depend upon
dry farming. I am going to use
it®on all the lands I buy here, and
that will be several thousand
acres. It is very seldom that
there are no winter rains, with
the dry farming system, the
winter rains put season in the
ground that carries the c-rops
along to maturity with very little
more rain. And all the arable
land can be cultivated, which is
not always the case with irriga-
tion.
“The country around my
home at Lampasas is a dry farm-
ing country, and it is prosperous.
The crops there will be short this
year, but this is an unusual year.
The farmers are prosperous,
though, and can pull through
very well.”—San Antonio Ex-
press.
