COTTOW'S ADVANCED PRICE
Is Stimulating the Energies of
Our People
And arousing fresh hopes of a better
time coming, but it is having no ef
ffct on the firm of
IIenry Dreyfuss & Son,
which is not in the least influenced
by the rise and fall of this great
Southern product.
With this rmin the prices of their
goods are always marked down to
the very
Low'est Notch,
and if cotton advances one or a dozen
points, their customers, not them,
reap the benefit of the rise.
They have on hand an immense
stock of goods of all kinds, claase.
and grades, suitable for the field,
kitchen or drawing room, and they
are going, going at
Rates So Low
that it is idle to say that any cannot
afford to bny.
This week will be one which will
absolutely daze the public. Just a
few example are here given. Every
thing else is marked in proportion:
In misses' long wraps we will offer
our complete line at a reduction of
50 per cent.
Bee our ladies' and children's bal
morals at 25c apiece, worth from 75o
to $2 each.
We will offer a fine line of com
forts at 80o each.
We will offer a fine line of 10-4
blankets at $1.75 a pair, regular price
$2 75 a pair.
Also a line of blankets at $3.85 a
pair, regular price $5 a pair.

A Matter That the ('ity I.* Interret. In.
At the last nloating of the City I
Connicl. Mr. J. L. lIargrove. special
Attorney for the city. presentei the
following, which shonll he enrefully
noted by every citizen of Shreve.port,
anl, asked that it Ie adopted, which
was donet' in full: t
"The City of Shreveport, La., in
regular sesiion of its mayor and I
trustee4 convened. l)Heclre and
matke the f ,llowingdterl rastory state- t
ment -viaz: 'lThat as the United Stat $
at large, Vol 7. page 472. ah(Iows that
ill the treaty of the United Stateis with
the Caddo Indians in 1836, the In
dians reserved from the cession to the i
United Staten six hundred and forty
acres of land. 'l'Tat the township
malp on file in the ltocor epr' offlice of
Caddo parish, La., page 20, shows that
the area left of land and water out of
which to get said 640 acres of land in
cluded in its meander, the body of I
water then, but now land, called
Silver Lake. 186 50-100 acres; further,
that in 1839 the Legislature of the I
State of Louisiana, on March 20, pass
ed the act of incorporation of the
Larkins Edwards reservation, saying I
the act was to include 640 acres, mre
or leass; the greater part is as we.ll in
cluded nes the loes and the act declares
it is to cover the Larkin Edwards
reservat ion.
The records of our city show that
the city of Shreveport paid large
sums of money for ditching and
draining said Silver Lake in 185.`, and
to Joseph Howell fur opening andt
filling up Marshall street through an
arm of said Lake; that Marshall
street, Market street, and Spring
street have for more than thirty years
been opened and tecognized as public
streets, fully dedicawed to public use,
though Suring street has never been
fully opened it is not for the want of
right to do so. That the city of
Shreveport has long since paid the
purchase price of said land as afore
said, to the State of Louisiana, to ob
taiu;a paper relinquishment from the
sovereign State. with a view to deter
avaricious claimants. That the pat- I
ent was issued by the register of the
State land office in April, 185:2. That
the city hereby accepts said patent,
and the sovereign relinquishment
thereby made. \ e declare said tract
of laud as aforesaid, to be the prop
erby of the city of Shreveport, for the
reason given above.
We hereby refuse to accept or re
cognize the title of any person or
persons, and to receive any dedication
of streets or otherwise from any
person or persons."
A lively lawsuit will in all probabil
ity now follow, as Messrs. Land anad
Leonard,believingthey have titio by a
decision of the Supreme Court, will
attempt to continue their survey al
ready begun, and if the police follow
instructions and arrest them for tree
peas, of course the powerful machin
ery of law will be brought into mo
tion.
However, this property is valuable,
and if the city has a just claim to it,
is should take the necessary steps to
have this claim recognized by the
courts. We will doubtless hear more
of this.

in only a secoindary degree, their first
Ithmght being "wherithal shall w hbe

This wonuld he a very difiIcult prl,
lem to solve were it not fur the fact
that
Jordan & Both
are on hand to answer this very im
portant quno.tion. Tot thenl the so- i
lution is 5,imple. To all initrested

Winter, when warm, comfortable
