A man can't tell who his friends are
till he runs for Office, as the old saying
is, and there is more truth than poetry
in it too. The same can be said of a
successful business man. He is at all
times confronted with disappointed
pimps who cannot make any money
themselves. and, like the dog in the
manger, they try to stand in the way of
others, and by various devices known
only to themselves, try to defame 9TH
ers, thinking thereby to retard the
progress of their superiors' VanNess
began at the bottom of the ladder and
has steadily worked his way up by
honesty and fair dealing, until now he
stands foremost in our midst, fearless
and alone, with business second to
none in the county, He is eyer ready
with good word for all, rich or poor
white or black, At his store all are
welcome,

because they cannot buy the goods.
We trust the publication of prices will
continue through the whole list, as We
have no money to advertise goods not

not deceive any. The people know
