QQ Pont racket uj belli, store. 213 WEST WASHINGTON STREET. Nothing over 99 cents in the entire stock, which fact alone is a positive proof beyond a doubt that you will find bargains here in abundance. We notice the women are the greatest Bargain Hunters on earth, and when you see a crowd of them together you can depend that there’s something unusual on hand. You will see just such crowds at oiir store when it is possible for the fair ones to get out, and no matter whether it storms pitchforks, tines downward, jou will find them here, as the Bargain Values are so great that they will risk their lives rather than miss one of our many Bargains which we shall quote beloyv: 50c Jardineres only . .25c. 75c Jardineres only 49c. 51.50 Jardineres only 99c. 100 Bxl2 Pictures, the finest selection ever brought to town, worth 50c now 25c. Over 10 different subjects. 100 Bxlo, some gilt, white, black, bronze green, and others, a fine line of subjects, could not be manufactured for what we shall sell them for. Only 25c. Just arrived, a fine line of Men’s Pants, and Boys’ Suits, to be sold for | what others ask. Just think a pair of pants that will fit the largest to the smallest man and just such goods that you have paid SI, $2 & $3 for you get them for 99 cents and less. Boys suits from 3 to 15 years of age, suits we nor any body else can duplicate when they are gone, for this sale while they last, only 99c. A big purchase in chambers makes it possible for us to sell you one for (just think) only 19c. It is unnecessary for us to tell you every thing we have, you all know where to come and you will find the good things when you get here. We have a large stock and handle most every thing. We sell goods—we do not keep them—and we sell them cheap. Remember the place. The 99 cent Racket Store, Rensselaer, Ind., the only one in Jasper county. RAINSFORD <& PRANK, PROPRIETORS.

LAMENT OF A FOURTH-CLASS P. M.

I’d rather shovel sulphur down in Tophet for a spell— I’d rather tend a furnace in the southeast end of—well, I’m a deacon in the vestry class, and p'raps I’ll ttop at that, But I’m pretty mighty tired of the job that I am at. I’m at work for Uucle Sam, Lickin stamps and sayin' dam— Aging things about the bus’ness—l’ll confess it. yes, I am. For I hadn’t no idee What a pesky thing 'twould be To run a country office so’s to keep ’em pleased with me. The stage you see. comes trundin' in 'bout nine o'clock at nlgt t; Then so’a to catch the early train the driver leaves 'fore light. And so I have to sit and wait and go without my rest To shift the mail that's cornin’ east and send it kitin’ west. And daytimes all the farmers round they get as mad as sin If any time they happen round and cannot find me in. I calculate from what they say that ev’ry critter feels I ought to stay there days and nights and go without my meals. I cannot be a lark by day and be an owl at night. And blamed if I can take a stone and dull my appetite. For all the stuff a mau would earn a-stayin' there a year Would hardly fat a wad enough to stuff a monkey's ear. They tbiuk I read the postal cards—if secrets trickle out They think that I'm the guilty one, and flail me hot and stout, And if a letter doesn't come as quick's they think it ought They intimate I've eaten it, with loud and scornful snort. And, judging from the way they say. “Now, won’t you look again?" And keep me nosin’, peekin' round inside that office pen. They think that I distribute mail with eyes bunged up, or that I cuff it up and fan it round that office with a bat.

Oh, I want to dump the office; oh, I'm achin' to resign 1 But there ain’t a man will take it, and I guess it's safely mine. I was thinkin’ I would drop it—shut ’er upget out—get rid— I was askin' the Inspector what would happen if I did. And he said they'd come and nab me. lock me up and let me lie. And quite prob’ly I would stay there till my time arrived to die. But I’ve just about concluded that I’d rather stay in jail Than be sassed arid jawed and sworn at by the folk's who come for mail. I'm at w< rk for L'ncle Sam, And a man must be a lamb Fpr to run a fourth-class office without getti> g so's to dam— X. Age bis soul beyond repair, For the things I have to bear Are tough enough, by Judy, for to make a deacon swear. -Ex

FLORIDA LETTER.

Thelma, Fla., Meh. 23. Editor Democrat:—We have been another week in the Woodyard, “far away from the haunts of men” (or women) and have had no chance to mail a letter Last Monday afternoon we left Thelma and drove about six miles along the edge of the Devil’s Wood-yard, part of the way then turned off the road and followed a cow trail through the flat woods and swamps about two miles, then came to the swamp of Fish Creek where there had one time in the memory of man been a ford, but was full of logs and cypress knees and stumps and all sorts of obstructions. Myers took the ax jand cut a road through and just at dark we got across and into the choice turkey ground of the country. So we camped down by the creek and in the morning both got up at 4:30 and set out to wait for the turkeys to gobble and try to kill one, Myers going one way and Mrs. Myers another through the high grass, palmettos, gall-berry bushes, etc., wet with dew and a white frost. And the turkeys gobbled for sure. Mrs. M. was a little slow (as usual) in getting to her place and it got too light before she got near enough to a big gobbler for a shotgun to reach, but she had the satisfaction of seeing him on the branch of a big cypress and saw him walk up and down the limb and strut and gobble, and though she had a turkey call of the latest improved method, he would not be decoyed down off his roost in her direction but went out the other way. Well, we putin the week until Friday, going in the evenings to roost them and staying until way after dark, walking back to camp from three quarters to two miles through the wild woods alone; out every morning at 4:30 and away through wet grass and frost before daybreak, and, sad to relate, we never KILLED A TURKEY. Friday morning it rained and we got out of horse feed and at noon drove out to the edge of the Woodvard to Dannie Monroe’s and there we are still, tired and footsore but still hopeful. This morning Dannie got up at four and rode 1 out about two miles from home and just at daylight we heard his gun and he soon came in with a big fine gobbler, the fifth one he has killed' this spring. So we are roasting turkey and baking light bread for dinner.

When we got here Friday eve an old colored lady from the “Quarters” had brought Mrs. Monroe some things to make a wedding cake for last night. Her daughter Lena, 13 years old, was to be married last evening and so Mrs. Monroe and Mrs. Myers made a big wedding cake and covered it with icing and had great sport making a “nigger wedding cake,” and about sundown two colored boys from the Quarters came for it and trudged off home with it, three miles away and I ’spose they had a glorious wedding. It would have been a “’howling success” if the “moonshine” had been as plentiful as it was a month ago, but since the raid on the stills the Quarters hatfe been very quiet Saturdays. There have been heavy rains here in the last two weeks and through the first part of the week was quite cold and frosty nights. It is nice and warm now and we heard the first aligator grunt this morning. The coming week we have not planned anj’ campaign as yet, only Mrs. M. has to make a couple of wrappers for Mrs. Monroe who has a crippled hand and cannot sew at present. Mr. M. will TRY TO KILL A TURKEY. Our pup run two fine deer just out of gun-shot of him last week. As soon as the moon is past the full enough to make dark evenings, Mr. M. and Dannie are going fire hunting for deer. Mrs. Monroe has a tame deer w’ith a bell on that runs out, and last week one night three wild deer came in sight of the house with her and staid buck while she came in for her supper. They stay around here all the time close to the tame one, and they expect to get a shot at them by fire light Let us hope and pray.

Dreadful Attack of Whooping Cough.

Mr v . Ellen Harlison, of 300 Park Ave., Kansas City, Mo., writes as follows: “Our two children had a severe attack of whooping cough, one of them in the paroxysm of coughing would often faint and bleed at the nose. We tried everything we heard of without getting relief. We then called in our family doctor who prescribed Foley's Honey and Tar. W ith the very first dose they began to improve and we feel that it has saved their lives." Refuse substitutes. Sold by A. F. Long.

Good For Rheumatism. Last fall I was taken with a very severe attack of muscular rheumatism which caused me great pain and annoyance. After trying several prescriptions and rheumatic cures, I decided to use Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which I had seen advertised in the South Jersevman. After two applications of this Remedy I was much better, and after using one bottle, was completely cured — Sallie Harris, Salem, N. J. For sale by A. F. Long. Stevenson’s Cue Work. A story of Robert Louis Stevenson is told as follows by an acquaintance: “Once only do I remember seeing him play a game of billiards, and a truly remarkable performance it was. He played with all the fire and dramatic intensity HE FLAYED WITH FIRE AND DRAMATIC INTENSITY. that he was apt to put into things. The balls flew wildly about on or off the table as the case might be, but seldom indeed ever threatened a pocket or got within a hand’s breadth of a cannon. ‘What a fine thing a game of billiards is,’ he remarked to the astonished onlookers, ‘once a year or sol’ ” For the handsomest printed calling cards in the city, call on The Democrat.
