Where shall we buy our
Dry Goods? Where can
we get most in quantity and
best in quality for the
money!.
These are important ques-
tons to be asked at any
time by the people, but es-
pecially at a time like the
present, when a dollar Is a
dollar, and not so easily
earned as formerly.
Most people have to do
more or less planning, or if
you please, financierlng, SO
that their money may be
|spent to the best possible
advantage, and in exchange
for the same, the best value
In merchandise be obtained.
Every sensible person wants
ia dollar to bring in all it
can, either of the necessa-
Tries or luxuries of life, and
who can blame them if they
are not unreasonable.
! We think we can help
lmost people solve the ques-
Ition, as far as Dry Goods
are concernd, for never were
1--we in a position to offer
such downright good value
as at the present time, and,
/, being desirous to largely in
crease our business, we have
marked our goods at such
low prices as must command
! favorable attention. We
{ cordially invite our numer-
GUS customers and the pub
lie generally to call and ex-

4 LITTLE BOW OF BLUE.
BY EDWARD CAKSWELL.

At the Prohibition meeting in Raleigh
asst Friday night Mr.. \. b. Broughton
cad the following touching poem, which
We publish by request. EDITOR.
My heart was very heavy,
For my children cried for bread
/ wept to see my little ones -
Go SupperlesS to bed.
| listened for a fOOtStep.
AS I'd often done before,
Waiting for a staggering man
To stumble through the door.
But his step came firm and steady,
And his eyes We're clear and true,
And on his ragged coat he Wore
\ little bow blue.
A bit of ribbon blue
May seem little, perhaps, to you;
But, oh, how much it meant TO me,
That little bow of blue.
He came and stood beside me,
And stopped and kissed my face,
Where tears but lately wiped away
Had left a burning trace.
Then as my arm embraced his neck
Sweet hope came back anew:
For on his ragged coat saw
A little bow of blue.
We knelt down by the bedside,
Where the children lay asleep.
And prayed the Lord to give him strength
His new made VOW to keep.
Then to my lifted eyes bow
OF promise rose in view
The bow that spanned my frightened sky
Was just a bow of blue.
And is there one before me now
Addicted to the cup,
Oh! listen to a woman ; voice
And give the idol up.
Do it quickly, while your heart is warm,
An act you'll never rue,
Come, take our VOW, and proudly wear
Our little bow of blue.
Then with step that's firm and steady.
And eye both clear and true,
Wear in your heart and on your breast
Our little bow of blue
