I note that Messrs. McCal-

they sent out in behalf of
Judge Postell. I did not au-

Our line of merchandise is of the best quality and we
dare say that we sell cheaper than any person. We carry
a full line of all kinds of staple merchandise as well as gro-
ceries. Also good line of stoves.

The fall season is fast approaching. The cotton picking
season is, in reality, open. All classed of merchandise is high.
Some few things have declined, but very few.
Implements are going higher. Wagons and buggies have
already advanced $20.00 to $40.00, We have a stock on hand
now, which we will sell at the same old price as long as they
last. Also have hay mowers, hay rakes, cane mills and
evaporators, which we bought at a bargain. Also, we have
parts for the implements we sell. Our line is a good one, is
standard and we guarantee such to give Satisfaction.

As to my paying my debts by
Bankruptcy, I never availed
myself of bankruptcy except
for one debt, one not just. It
was a mess growing out of the
failure of Center Hardware

a large judgment and I refused
'.:o pay it. Before God, when
I am judged by Him, I’ll still
say I don’t justly pwe it. I
owed an additional $20,000.00,
on which I have applied every
dollar made and have retired
thousands of dollars of it.
