We have chosen the Palmer line of Ready-to-Wear for our customers, this sea-
son from among a large number of the leading manufacturers of the United States.
We made the choice after a deliberate inspection of all these lines, because first, the
n>
quality of the material measures up as nearly to the standard of perfection as we
could ask. Second, the workmanship excelled any other line, and third, the price
was less considering the merits of the garments.

NEWSPAPER BORROW ERS
A newspaper publisher whose sheet
had quite a poor subscription list, used
to justify the value of his advertising
space on the ground that a great
many people borrowed the paper and
so re ad it without paying for it.
As far as his books went, he could
make poor showing. A national ad-
vertising agency wrould not have been
impressed by an audit of his accounts.
Yet he had a perfectly good claim. He
was getting out a good sheet and it
was safe to assume that about every-
one in town read it. If any business
concern wished to interest the people
of that town, his paper was one only
way to reach them, and it would do
the job for them very efficiently.
The number of people who habitual-
ly borrow'newspapers is large. Some
men make an excuse to drop into a
store where a local paper is lying
around the counter, and they careful-
ly peruse it. The clerks are onto the
game and snicker a little. But as the
man may be a good customer, they
are glad to pass the paper on.
Many newspapers go the rounds of
several families. The old folks will
read it, then pass it on to their mar-
ried children, or give it to the hired
man's family or the next door neigh-
bor.
Now as far as the lender goes, that
is all kindness of heart. But it does
not solve the problem of producing a
newspaper that shall adequately rep-
resent the community, and which will
be able to make a clean circulation
statement, based on the actual extent
to which it is read. It is not a sub-
ject that needs more extended treat-
merit But perhaps some people on see-
ing this suggestion, may realise that
they have not done quite their share
in support of one the the town’s insti-
tutions.—Sherman Democrat.

Dr. Cummnis of Hot Springs, Ark.,
spent Sunday night in the Gap. He
had been prospecting in Hamilton
county with a view of buying a farm,
but when he learned that negroes were
not allowed in that county he hiked
for home. He was at a loss to know
how people could get along wdthout

Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
This remedy is intended especially
for coughs, colds, croup and whoping

of more than ordinary merit. Give
it a trial and you will find this to be
the case.
