The fall of the year is upon us,
and all business men who under
stand their business are parading
their goods, wares and merchandise
before the public in our advertising
columns. As a general rule the
purchases will find that the man
who does the most advertising does
the most selling, because the quicker
sales he makes the less profits he
can afford to realize on his purchases.
In other words, "quick sales and
small profits" The more he sells
the lower he can put his goods to
his customers. Let our hundreds
of readers remember this and pat
ronize the establishments that adj
vertise with us and they will find
that the advantages are mutual.

OF course everybody has heard
of Friedman & Co., of Point Pleas
ant. 1t could not be otherwise,
when they sell goods SO cheap, and
always keep their business con-
spicuous before the people. 1t costs
them lots of money to do their ad-
vertising, but it pays them by
drawing people to their store, to
whom they sell lots of goods; and
when once they get a new customer
they always hold him, because they
give such good bargains, honest
measure, and reliable goods. Call
and see them.

here that there is no State in the

vested with greater certainty Of

Virginia. She possesses as many
undeveloped resources of wealth as
any other State. Her vast coal

which one day will bring her to the

1t used to be the custom amongst
our farmers to delay husking their
corn until late in the fall, and it was
considered the proper thing to
finish just before Christmas. But
some of our best farmers now do
their husking in October and crib
it in narrow cribs. This dries it
out thoroughly, and corn husking
is not thus made the most disa-
greeable work in the world, as 1T
was before, and the fodder is far
better.
