Fire..

The Broom factory of P. T. Hag.
gard burned on the night ofthe 18th.
The people living near, had all re.
tired for the night, and as it
did not take but a few moments to
put the factory beyond saving on
account of the litter in the room
and the broom stock on hands,
the fire was easily spread, so when
the cry of fire was made at half
past nine there was no chance for
saving the building, and when help
gathered, all that could be done
was to save the residences near by.
It is a mystery how the building
got on fire as the doors were locked
so that no one could enter it. The
building had a small insurance by
mutual aid society. 1t Is supposed
however that the concern will pay
although there is probably no legal
responsibility In existence, only a
mutual benefit pledge, which when
they come little often, sour on the
minds Of those who are assessed
We know nothing Of this concern
called the Valley Home, as nc
statement has ever been published
here by those interested.

SIMPLY THE BEST!

1t is no longer experiment-we have tested it and
know that very large proportion of East Tennessee,
prefer to patronize that keep first class goods
and sell alike to all at reasonable prices Wenow have
beyond question: the prettest and best lighted store in
which to display the finest stock Of Mems and Boys
Clothing in the South.
We are candid in statements believing every word
to be strictly truethough We have no quarrel either
for our neighbor any honest reader who may think
We exaggerate.
We cannot expect the consumer Of cheap cotton suits
to appreciate the value Of hgh-grade Wooen Gar
ments, any more than we could persuade trade that
wants the finest products to buy and clumsy cot
ton SUITS We can buy and sell TRASH as cheap as any
body if would but prefer not to handle it at ALL
The manufacturer of trash argues "there large pro-
fit in it. Certainly, we agree; but LARGE PROFITS and
poor value never built up large business. Several
years ago tried to sell very fine and very cheap goods
at the same time, but it didn't work right We have
since pushed the tras and sales have just about
doubled. While we won't sell "shoddy" stuff at any
price, purchasers will find our mediumprced suits at
$l0OO $3.50 and s15 00-the best value in the market
