Official Taper Sherman County The bake of Veragua, a promi nent Spaniard, said in an interview with a Madrid newspaper reporter that “at the time of the ipiadri-cen tennial of the discovery of America, McKinley waa governor of the state of Chicago.'' Those Spaniaids are great on geography. 'Hiero is a pos sibility that ho may be dictator to tlic cortes at Madrid, before long. To the editor of the Time* —Yes sir, the Manager of the Pringle Come dy Co., did the right thing with us, gave us a comp each for ourself and wife, and we guve him a meritorious notice due a first class show for the same, he also gave us some job work for which he paid us gii.ftO eta., cush for all ot which he has our many thanks, hut we did not betray his confidence by trying to run in out siders as you did, and then whine like a whipped cur when asked to desist. _ War has practically been declared by the lower branch of congress and yet our own itm iireeu was siiem as the tomb.

She is built purposely with an outward appearauce closely akin to her natural quarry, that she may the better approach unsuspected within striking distance. She also carries a torpedo outfit, and in her me nauiesuip aun cruiser nave even a more dangerous eneinv lhau in the simple torpedo boat, for where the small craft, by stress of weather, limited speed or restricted cndurenue. must halt, the destroyer may con tinue with nl! the more certainty of carrying out its murderous mission Chicago World. The populist party is fast decay ing liefore the developed fact that rain and sunshiue, coupled with a common score aominiatratton, is a sure road to prosperity, ami that aupply and demand have every thiug to do with price* A few year* ago the pop waa very tmphatie in his assertion that aupply and demand had nothing to do with It, but that; all we wanted *as free silver to cure out ilia and make a demand for, ami rata* the price of wheat, anti that with out free silver it would never go higher than it Uvea wa* i e. u> cent a a bushel Hut now nit la changed, wheat went to mi tu one da\ Inal week, light here at hvune and aiivei ta lower than it ever was Ami Inal week one of tUeo- *ame pop leader* waa arguetag on the street that it • t* auppU *ad demand ami nothing alas that had ia<*e*l the ptHe of wheat t he was that ta never happy unte*a he ta mwnhh tug. fool th# pe*i‘ie anhde Ui Ik. * mu , a*eh on iftri he turn* had a n t«m k aummeraauiu The editor of the Time* Indepen dent would have it readers believe that by getting hi* paper nearly all patent print it cost much more tlinn to print it at home, as he said local} a few weeks ago, that he would rattier put more money into It and continue ibe six page patent service and give his subscribers better read ing, than to print four pages at home. Now in one respect Mr. Brown is correct and that is that be positive ly gives his subscribers better read ing, in fact uny mlscelnneous rend ing matter is better than hiseditorial rot. But regarding the expense of borne print Mr. Brown is off, and he knows it Just as well as uny other printer, but because we are printing four pages and him only two In col ors his statements to suit the occas ion Now it costs just $1.00 extra weekly to gel the two extra page* of patent print. If he were to put up the matter at borne it would cost him on an average of $10.80 per week there being :oj,0o0 'ms in the two ex tra pages to set, ul the going price of 30 cents per thousand for compo sition, to say nothing of the extra press work. Our two extra home pages do not cost us that much. We are running them, under force of circumstances, with the least possible expense, about $0.00 a week. They are made up of standing advertise uienta, home composition and a bout two columns of plate matter. Thus we put $5.00 a week more ex UDC VU UUI i uun -Mill! V* (' 111(1 when only printing two home pages, hut it gives our advertisers us well »s our subscribers better service, riie only point we can see that Mr. Brown has made is that be mis ed, or attempted to mislead bis sub icribers as to the cost of printing, ind that he acknowledged that he ,‘ould buy more valuable reading for i dollar than he could write tor two a hole pages. srEEKVISOK'S VKOCEKDIMIS.

Our trade is steadily increasing and it is flattering evidence to us that our j new plan of hammering down the prices is appreciated bv the public, and by adding largely to our stock, many articles heretofore sold in other stores for high prices, and selling them on a very close margin, we are gradually building up a bus iness that is highly satisfactory. We have a mammoth stock of Dry Goods, Hoots, Shoes, Hats, Caps, and Notions, all new spring goods, but wo do not be lieve in selling them on large profits to make up fora sacrifice in some other -de partment, because we find that we can do more business on close margin than on ^ large profits, and a large volume of business will give us good interest on our investment. Don't go by our store if you want a bargain in a Trunk or Valice or in fact anything to put in it. We are here to do business and have employed the aid of low prices in every department to assist us. Come in and see our goods and learn our prices when you visit the county seat.
