ing of clothes required. No steam in the
house. This soap is the friend of every
woman on wash day. Nothing like it
ever known. Guaranteed not to injure
the finest fabric. Use this soap, and the
dirt will just drop right out. No doubt
about it. G. w. Taylor sells the soap in

the appearance of young defendant in
his domestic court last Sunday morning

of the TRANSCRIPT Office. We hope the
little fellow may grow up great and
good man-Gn editor.

of friend Cox's desire for these things soon
find relief by his removal to our little
berg.
