Not the farmer alone, nor the |
merchant, nor the mechanic, but
the best brains of all classes |
must co-operate. The farmer ’
must yet pay for the wealth he
produces. The welfare of every
man, property owner, mechanic,
common laborer must be looked
after.
But the prime foundation of
Southern prosperity is cotton, so
when co-operation brings the
farmer a good price for his cot-
ton, not only the farmer, but
every citizen of the South shares
in the benefits. Cotton there- j
by furnishes the tone a n d l

is exactly one hundred cents better. We Only Ask The Lowest Price. We give you a cut be-
fore you ask for it. For if a Merchant can afford to sell at a Lower Price to one Person, he can
afford to sell to all at the same price. Every price in our house is Rock Bottom. There is no
underground way for one person to get goods for less than another. Come in and look over
our stock. We are glad to show you. Our assortment is large and complete, and here you can
find your clothes at any price you want to pay. You will get a square deal and every cent of
vour money’s worth.

men should lend their money and i

With the proper backing the
farmer can fix a reasonable and j

They are entitled to that much, j
that is all they want, and they
will never be satisfied with less.
