Where the quality is always the best, and the value is always
in the Goods. We want to make the Elzner Corner the easiest
and pleasantest place to buy Goods that there is in town. We especially want to reach the
man who works. We want to make his dollar go farther and do more than it has ever gone or
done before. It will do so when that dollar is put in Merchandise bought for the Cash at the

Fall and Winter Goods Are Unsurpassed,
Both in quality and price, and, standing on our own merits, we now throw out our bid for the

As the Lot, dry days made inroads
on the cotton, making lessened yield
* certainty, the farmer who diversi-
fied as much us possible tliis year
took things with more complacency
than the one who staked everything
on cotton.— W aco 1 rihune.
A Norfolk, Va., telegram of Au-
gust 27th, say#: A visitor from the
Sound region to-day stilted that not
over one-third of the crop could lie
gathered this year, many farmers
having lost their entire crop hy the
big storm of two weeks ago. \N here
not utterly destroyed it was beaten
down and rotted on the stalk. Muchj
fodder was lost. Hay a tit! grain
crops were ruined in the eastern sec-
tion. The foliage of the trees 'or
many miles inland is blasted and ap-
pears as though a lire had swept that
section.
Did you ever spoil a stamped en-
velope in attempting to write an ad-
dress upon it? Or have you lost
stamps because they have got sticky
and adhered to each other? If so
you should know that stamped en-
velopes which are only spoiled b}
mistakes committed in superscribing
will l>c redeemed by the postolllce
department at their stamp value.
Postage stamps damaged by sticking
together in warm weather or for
other causes before using may he re-
turned to the department and I heir
value will be repaid to the purchaser
or exchanged for new stamps and
sent by postmasters redeeming them
