Great Reductions in Clothing!
Our clothing sales this season have been emminently satisfactory, and we believe that a good majority
of the well dressed people have bought their spring outfits of us, proving that our careful selections and
close buying has not been in vain. Already, broken lots of clothing are accumulating and as it is not our
custom to carry these over, but to close them out at reduced prices while they are still seasonable, we have
put the knife to them and have cut the price so low that an argument will not be necessary to make you
see that there are bargains for you all through our immense clothing department. We will show you suits
manufactured by the very best makers on earth, that are right up-to-the-minute in style and pattern, that
fit properly and wear superbly and will hold their shape as long as they last, and you’ll be surprised that
they cost you so little. Here are some prices: ’
One lot of skeleton-lined Cashmeres, two pieces, were ^ ^
$7.50, to close............
One lot of two and three piece fancy Worsteds, were ^ f® A
$10.00 to $12.50, now.........
One lot of three piece fancy Worsteds and Cashmeres, # Ef A A
were $8.50 to $10.00, now........
One lot of two piece Worsteds .(a beautiful assort-
ment) worth from $12.50 to $ 15.00, now . . .
SI0.00
Many other bargains appear in still higher grades of clothing, and if you’ll just take the time to exam-
ine our stock and see our offers we can fit and please you in a suit of clothes at a lower price than you
have ever bought one.
THE PEOPLE WHO SELL
IT FOR LESS

By regular correspondent.
The recent cold spell changed
the appearance of the corn fields
in this section, which on Wed-
nesday looked so beautiful. They
looked as though they had been
burned, and the farmers felt a
little serious over the results of
the frost, but took it philosophic-
ally. It is not yet known how
serious the damage is; some have
topped their corn, hoping it will
come out, others have left it
standing. While it still looks
brown, it is still standing. A
good deal of the cotton was killed
but not near all of it. Gardens
also suffered to some extent.
The weather is fine, now and
everybody is busy. The wheat
and oat crop will soon be ready
to harvest and promises to be
heavy.
The closing exercises of the
school were repeated Thursday
night by request, and were at-
tended by a large and apprecia-
tive audience. Mrs. Jas. Stand-
ard, Mr. Evan Williams and his
sister, Miss Hattie, furnished ex-
cellent music for the occasion.
The audience was composed of
people of this immediate com-
munity with the exception of a
few young people from Adams-
ville. I cannot refrain from
commending the conduct of the
young men who, instead of crowd-
ing into the aisles arranged them-
selves around the walls so as not
to obstruct the view of anyone.
There is some talk of organiz-
ing a literary society in this
neighborhood. These societies
are becoming general in the
country and when properly man-
aged are productive of great ben-
efit to the young people. Let us
keep up with the procession.
There is a well attended prayer
meeting held at 'the Baptist
church every Sunday night. It reports crops looking fine. The

We had a frost Wednesday
night of last week, which laid
corn, cotton and gardens low in
some sections. Jess Ellis reports
that the frost did not damage his
crop and garden at all, and that

“Auntie” attended the Pastors*

it was rich in the truest sense.

string beans for dinner on Wed-
nesday, and the next morning
planted his bean patch over.
Some corn is killed, and some
looks like it might recover. If
the people will wait and not plow
the corn up too early, a great I
deal of it will come out and grow
yet, but to plow it up and put it
in cotton will ruin the country.
Put it in June corn and millet or
cane—anything but cotton—if
you want cotton to bring more
than five cents next fall. Many
acres of cotton were up last week
and plowed out, but it is dead
now and is being planted over.
A warm slow rain would do
wonders for the farmer now, but
we are having fresh northers ev-
ery day or two.
Davis made a talk that will long
be remembered by ye scribe—I

I will say to the people in the
country, as well as in town, by
all means attend the Pastors’ and
Workers’ conference. We have
noble men in our association.
