| columns of well established newspaper
are scanned by the majority of its readers,
those who have 20 carry large stocks oyer
from season to season by falling
to keep the public timely Informed con-
cerning their goods and the prices thereof,
would abandon their penny-wise and
pound-foolIsh policy Of saving the cost Of
advertising, and hasten to avail them
selves of the benefits of the columns re-
fsrred to.
Just stop for moment and think. Six
weeks have scarcely elapsed since J. B.
Glen. Of Lantz's Mill, had one Of the
largest stock of goods ever brought to this
county and now all gone. That goes to
prove his assertions that he sells from 20
to 30 per cent. below his competitors. All
no asks is trial.

Market and vicinity celebrated tho cleo

Mr. Jno. Wade, who lives near town,
has a very motherly old turkey Robbler
on his farm. Last summer he insisted on
raising a brood of young turkeys, so John
put him to work on good large nest of
Irish potatoes, but with a slight prospect
of success. The potatoes were then re-
placed by lot of turkey aud hen eggs
and after due course Of time the gobbler
brought forth brood of two chickens,
which were kindly watched over and
paternally cared for until they arrived at
the age of discretion and they are now in
business for themselves. Bedford Demo

Everybody that wants TO save money 20
and.see J. d. Glen, at Lantz's Mill. He
will sell you goods so low that it will
make you la ugh and feel good all over.
Go and do as thousands of others have
done. You may as well walk or ride
seven or eight miles and save two or three
dollars in a ten dollar purchase as to work
for that amount. Don't you think so?
Freddy, little son of Mr.. John Fravel,
of this place, met with quite a severe acct
dent last Monday. He was playing with
several school mates in the road IN front
of the graded school when the colOred boy
who is employed by DR.. Geo. Magruder
came round the corner galloping horse
and leading another. Before Fred's play
mates who were facing the direction in
which the horses were coming could give
him warning they had ran over him, badly
bruising his legs, body, face and knocking
out several teeth. He was unconscious
when picked up. We are glad to say that
at this writing be is some better, and it is
thought that his injuries will not prove
fatal.
The thieves who have been deriving
their sustainsnce by sneak thieving dur

A Roanoke county farmer had son
who showed no special aptitude for bust
ness, and he was puzzled what TO do with
him. He concluded to try an experiment,
50 he locked the boy in room in which
there were only Bible, an apple and a
dollar. A few minutes later he stole
quietly to the room. He made up his
mind that il he found the boy eating the
apple he would make a good farmer, If he
were reading the Bible he should be
trained for the pulpit, and II no had taken
the money his success as broker. the
father thought, was assured. Upon en-.
tering the room he found the boy sitting
upon the Bible, eating the apple, with
the dollar in his pocket. The boy be-
came GU able politician. Roanoke Hmes
