An ardent Murphy man in this county

to a certain dea ler in beer provided he would
discontinue the sale of the beverage for a
period OF one year The party of the second

The astounding discovery has recently
been made that, by a legislative act paSsed
In 117I and never repealed, all marriage GER
emonies performed in this State on Sunday

advise all, no matter whether they were
married on Sunday OF any other day, or even
il they were never married Mt all, to consult
their own interests by buying their goods at
the cheap cash store of M yers & Lloyd, who
keep everything needful in the way OF dry
goods, groceries, ete., and who never permit
themselves to be undersold.
