"Conditions Govern Everything"
The weather conditions, the financial conditions and the cotton
conditions have curtailed this fall's business to such an extent that
we now have a stock of high grade merchandise far in excess of
any previous year at this date.  These conditions make it necessary
to put on

       The mandate in the case of the State of Texas vs. John Smith has been received from the clerk of the court of criminal appeals.  Two points upon which the case was reversed was the admissibility of evidence to crimes with which the defendant was not alleged to be directly connected and the failure of the court to invoke the rule as to separating of witnesses in the case of the city marshal.  These were among the contentions set up by Attorney Bounds in his brief on appeal.

       Read Campbell's Emergency Sale in this issue.  He "blazes the way" for lower prices and good values.  The ladies of Falls county cannot afford to overlook this event.  Closes Tuesday, Dec. 3rd.

       J. M. Hazlewood of Chilton bought a span of good mules at the Marlin Mule Market Monday.  Mr. Hazlewood says it pays to buy good work stock and he knew Marlin was the place to get them, as he bought a pair of mules in Marlin last year and made enough cotton amount to several times the cost of the mules.  He stated that to show that it pays to have good mules to plow, that he cultivated 20 acres of land this year that had been scratched by a plug team and made practically nothing.  By plowing (missing) and deep he made on the 20 acre patch eight bales of cotton, and this was not a good year, either.    54-ft.

How They Stole the Beer.

       City Marshal Stallworth has located the cause for the disappearance of quantities of beer from the wholesale storage houses of Frank Peacock.
       Parties discovered a hole in the wall that exposed a barrel of "Bud" and securing a chisel they punctured the barrel with a hole large enough to admit the passage of a bottle at a time.  In this way they secured quite a lot of the beverage.
