goods and prices are in competition with the
best. Our stock consists of a standard
l'ne of Groceries that can't be beat.
Peed Stuff of All Kind^
W c buy as cheap as anybody and on top of that wc
have no expensive delivery service or clerk hire to
add to the e of an article. Come in and see us.
W. T. WILLIAMS & BR0.
GROCERIES and FEED
Christmas should mean infi-
nitely more to us than can be
expressed by gifta or lan-
guage. It ia not to be a sea-
son of tears, but of joy. It
[should fill every home with
gladness and the noise of hap-
py children and parents. Let
jthe children come home, the
parent throw open their homes
to them; let the yule log, a log
| of wood be laid on the fire
place and lighted and with
j song, match the merry crack-
ling log and shadows of the
i flames dancing upon the wall.
| Say come friend, come strang-
er, if it be but a cup of cold
; water that is given and a kind-
| ly smile it will be some thing
to show that God is in the
i home. All's well with the
world. That theforest with
j their feathered songsters de-
clare His goodness; that the
I cattle on the meadows and
fields are grazing at His feet,
that the crow picks food frpm
His hands and that man *Js
redeemed from sin and
! "This is the marvel of marvels
|revealed.
I When the silver trumpets of
Christmas have pealed,
That human kind a re th e
children of God."

Must Reduce Stock
To do this we will make prices from
now untit Jan. 1, that are sure to
m ve the goods. All we ask is
you come and look at our
lines and get our prices
The market today in practically all lines of merchandise is as firm at record break'
ing prices as has ever been known. It is more difficult to secure merchandise in the
markets than it has been in many years. But we forsaw this long ago, and bought
accordingly, and are now in a position to give you the benefit of our purcha.-es.

The little town of Alto re-
I cently had a disastrous fire and
| as soon as the flames melted in-
j to ashes the citizenship waked
up to the realization that they
needed water protection and
are going after it. There are
other towns we know of that
need the samething and may-
be after a great tire they will
also awake from their slumbers
j along this line.—Kemp News.
