Having purchased the whole of the Mammoth Stock of

the chance of the year for you. Respectfully Yours,

Death.

On a Christmas day more than thirtyfour years ago, a child was born unto Moses and Jemima Denman. This child was christencd Joel L. Denman. His early years were happy ones, and no sorrow came to the home of his parents until Joel reached the age of six. At that age' a frightful accident occurred that snatched from them the father of the household leaving a widowed mother and eight children to mourn for him. Of these Joel was the youngest but one other. Because of an eucumberance on the farm and providing for a large family, it became necessary for each individual member to do his best. And thus early was inculcated into Joel (and all the rest of the family for that matter,) a self reliant integrity nurtured by the industry which accomplished so much for this remarkable family. Thus early Joel learned the great lesson that industry- is the corner stone of prosperity. From that day to this lie never shirked a duty. Up to the age of twenty he attended pub ic schools winters and worked very hard through the summers on the farm. I lis education was completed at the Alamo Academy where he ranked at the head of his classes. Joel was a great lover of music and devoted much of his spare time in acquiring a proficiency in this accomplishment. What he did in this line was characteristic of the man, he did it well. He sang excellently and was master of several musical instruments. He was at one time a niember of theAlamo band and for several years was connected with the orchestra at that place. He also taught singing several terms. In the year of 1895 he was married at the age of thirty-two, Miss Mary Hastings. That union has been blessed by one child, a bright boy now two years old.

Joel was not identified with any church, but believed firmly in the teachings of the Old School Baptist. Ho believed 111 all churches and in their good work, and indeed in anything which tended to better society. As was .stated in another part of this short biography, it heems that Joel early learned the great truths which are EO essential to the welfare of man. He was industrious, and at the time of his death he had accumnlated some property. He was kind and generous to a .fault. If ever any man apslied to his every day life the practical teachings of the Golden Rule, Joel did. He had a great loving heart that went out to every one, aud when in his dailv work he saw a man with a

just closed which terminates the partnership heretofore existing between the undersigned. Respectfully.Yours, McCLURE &. GRAHAM.

hard task he jumped into the work and helped his neighbor out. This sort of thing has been his practice 6ince ho reached the years of accountability. 1

Search all the country around Alamo and you cannot find a better man or one that would be missed more in the community where hedwelled. He was always jolly, with a kind word for everyone. He did not have one bad habit and in his case, as Shakespeare says: "When he come to die all the world could stand up and say, 'There was a man.'" He had a fixedness of purpose and a determination to do right and deal justly with his fellow men and he held to this notion to his death. Of his death and its cause all are familiar, how ho was devotiug his time to the public good, how he was staying till the last load of the day was finished, and how when it was almost done and in two minutes more he would have gone rejoicing to his happy home how at that awful moment those cruel, terrible tons of dirt came upon him with all the suddenness of lightning crushing out his young life in the twinkling of an eye.

Such is a short sketch of Joel M. Denman's life. His life was a short and busy one, but his good deeds will live a long time in this community. His funeral was held at the Methodist church at Alamo August 29, at 11 o'clock. Rev. Miller, of Waynetown, of the Old Baptist persuasion delivered the sermon, the great concourse of people being only outnumbered by one other occasion, that being the death of Mr. John A. Clark, Mr. Rush and Mr. Green, all killed when the Alamo hack was run into by the I. B. «fe W. train in 1SS3. Mr. Denman was an enthusiastic lover of orchestra music and at the request of his wife the boys played two selections. Sad indeed it was to see the flower laden colliu supported by his mourning nephews to the solemn Anoant by the orchestra. Much praise is also due the choir. We remember one song, "We Will Meet You in the Morning," having heard Mr. Denman's clear tenor sing it in times past. To the friends aud relatives those words area consolation.

In order to close out many broken lines of goods. These goods we will continue to sacrifice giving to our customers

the benefit of the Large Discount received on the stock by Cutting the Prices Deeper Than Ever, and the.old Trade

Palace is teeming with real and radical reductions. We are not cutting prices out of pure generosity—not losing

profits because we like it. But the MONEY we have in thousands of dollars' worth of Merchandise, WE WANT IT.

It is a plain business proposition— a price I am willing to pay for empty shelves and a clean stock consequently prices

have dropped and profits disappeared, but shelves are emptying and the cash carriers clash and clang from morning till

night with the merry music of incoming dollars. A dead loss of profit for a live gain of room and ready money—it's
