INFORMATION OF VALUE.

We invite the attention of the peo-
pie to the fact that We continue to re-
ceive new goods. Barred Muslins,
lawns, a new lot of Hamburgs, Tor
chons, corsets, kid gloves, and job
in ladies' dongola kid shoes at $2.44
a pair, which we defy the trade to
match for the price. Childrens and
Misses school shoes in great variety,
at prices which always sell them. A
fnh line of al. lse@ssaadard novels at
12c. per volume, 25c. elsewhere. A
new lot of mats, rugs and haSsocks,
while our stock Of household using
things is kept complete, with additions
made daily in all the labor saving and
convenient utensils we can find,
CHEAP PENCILS! well, you would
think so if you could see the lot we
have in store. One dozen or one thou
snnd dozen, just as many as you
want, AT CENTS PER DOZEN. Our
price is less than nine-tenshs of the
merchants in Asheville paid for the
same pencils at wholesale. We are
fortunate in being connected with a
house that has ample capital to hunt
up and buy everything that the peo-
pie want, a0hsreUer 1t can be bought be-
Zow its market vaLue. A lot of mems
fur hats, fine goods, just in, are an
example of our facilities for getting
goods under the market, only one or
two of a style, we are selling them at
CSC. to S1.5S each, and we could not
buy them in the regular way under
S2l per dozen. We ask doubters to
call and examine them. They were
sent to us as job. We did not know
they had them, but knowing that we
can place bargains, they sent them to
us. hOur Headquarters never get
hold of particularly good thing with
out sending us part of it. Our store
has lost none of its prestige as the
Bargain Store of Asheville, and we
contemplate putting in such spring
and summer stock as will show our
appreciation of past favors. We can
show enquirers beyond the shadow OF
doubt that we (through our connec-
ton with No. 466 Broadway, N. W
possess facilities for getting goods
unequaled by any other store in
Asheville, and we guarantee that 1cN
| can, and aciH, undersell any house in
town upon all lines except domestic
goods bought in this State, which one
man with money can buy as cheaply
as another. Come and see our goods
and learn our prices; by this means
satisfy yourselves. Don't buy of III
unless price and quality suit. We have
placed larger order for our wover
corset, which has been so highl,
praised, and which at SEC. is the bes
value we have ever seen in corset
We shall continue to make leader O
it until we find something we regarc
as better. We beg the ladies not t.
buy a high-priced corset until they
have compared it with this corset.
Very respectfully, DC,
! GEO. T. JONES & co. 2

Do Men GatherFigs OfF6is1Ies?

1t is as reasonable to expect figs from
thistles as to look for good results when
poor seeds are planted. Ifyou plant an
acorn you cannot gather apricots, and
if you sow poor and old seeds you can
not have large and solid cabbage heads,
nor round and regular tomatoes, nor
perfect and juicy cantelouPes. The
moral Of this is, Be sure you get good
seeds to avoid disappointment. Lam
dreth's seeds are regarded the best all
over the United States, and you can get
the best crop at Pelham's Drug Store.
