To the People of Cowley County:

January 1^st, 1886, I will offer my entire stock of General Merchandise at Cost for Cash. This sale will continue just thirty days. I have $35,000 worth of goods to dispose of, and they have got to go if cost will move them. My stock consists of a complete line of Dress Goods, Silks, Satins, Sateens, Cashmere, Alpacas, Tricots, etc. I have also a full and complete line of Flannels, Table Linens, Napkins, Towels, Cassimere Jeans, Cloakings, Cottonade Shirting, Tickings, Canton Flannel, Muslins, Yarns, Shirts, Shawls, Blankets, Comforters, Hoods, Shawls, Blankets, Comforters, Hoods, Scarfs, Knit Sacques, etc. I would call especial attention to my large stock of Ladies’ Cloaks. These goods will be sold at a great sacrifice. I would also call attention to my Carpet Department. Goods in this department will be sold at UNHEARD OF LOW PRICES.

In my Notion Department I have everything in Ladies’ Neckwear, Laces, Embroideries, Collars and Cuffs, Trimmings, etc. I have Valises in endless variety. My stock of Boots and Shoes is complete. My stock of Clothing is all fresh and new, having all been bought last fall. I would especially call attention to my Blanket Department. I will sell these goods at prices that will cause my competitors to open their eyes. I don’t advertise any especial line of goods on any especial day or week, but will sell my entire stock at cost for cash for thirty days. This is no “Cheap John” or “catch penny” advertisement, but actual facts. Everybody knows when I advertise to sell at cost, I DO IT. Remember from January 1^st to February 1^st, 1886, is the time and at J. B. Lynn’s Mammoth Dry Goods House is the place to get big bargains in Dry Goods, Clothing, Boots and Shoes, Hats and Caps, Carpets, Oil Cloths, Rugs, Mats, and in fact everything in the Dry Goods line. Come early before the stock is broken and secure the best bargains. Come one, come all, and bring your pocket books with you, as no goods will be sold at cost on credit. All orders will be taken at a discount of ten per cent. Respectfully.

J. B. LYNN.

WEDDING CHIMES.

The Marriage of Mr. B. W. Matlack and Miss Gertrude McMullen.

A Brilliant and Elaborate Affair.

Winfield Courier, Thursday, January 7, 1886.

Happy they, the happiest of their kind.

Whom gentle stars unite,

And in one fate

Their hearts, their fortunes, and their beings blend.

Once again have the wedding chimes echoed. Ever since the announcement of the intended marriage of Mr. B. W. Matlack and Miss Gertrude McMullen, society has been on the qui vive in anticipation of the brilliant affair. Its date was New Year’s Day—the starting of a new year, with all its bright prospects and happy hopes. What time could be more appropriate for the joining of two souls with but a single thought? As the cards signaled, the wedding occurred at the elegant residence of Col. J. C. McMullen, uncle of the bride. At half past one o’clock the guests began to assemble and soon the richly furnished parlors of one of Winfield’s most spacious homes were a lively scene, filled with youth and age. It was a representative gathering of the city’s best people, attired as befitted a full dress occasion. Many of the ladies were very richly costumed.
