ADAMS EXPRESS COMPANY.
1t is with great pleasure that we
announce to our readers that the re-
port circulated last week that this old
reliable company would close business
in our town after January 1st, is not
correct. Mr.. Eskridge, the polite and
efficient agent4of the Adams, has infor-
nation from headquarters that the COM
pany will continue business at the old
stand. For many years, running back
to the old stage times, when Uncle Dick
Hawkins opened a little Office in the
Virginia Hotel, the Adams Express Com
pany's wagon has been one of the most
familiar objects on our streets. 1t has
been like an old friend, has grown up
with our town, and has at all times served
the public faithfully and well. All our
people will be glad to know that the face
of this old friend is not to be taken from
us, but will still gladden. and cheer us.
In ,;.c steady growth of the Adams, they
have always measured up to the wants
of the people. Mr.. Eskr.dge is worthy
successor of old Uncle Dick, xSd has
kept abreast of the times in meeting the
demands of the public for quick, prompt
and reliable service. He delights in the
name of "Old Reliable Adams Express
Company" and his skill and fidelity in
the conduct of the business have greatly
assisted in maintaining this reputation
Now that Christmas has come again, Mr.
Eskridge is on the quivive to render his
friends the very best service, in giving
attention to handling Christmas goods
and presents, and he will do it, too. His
company know their man and provide
him with all he demands for his ever in
creasing trade. His assistants are train
ed men. Jim Teabo and Adams Express
Company are synonymous terms. He
has been with it as far back as the mem
ory Of the oldest inhabitant, and is an
essential part of it. Alec. Myers is trusty
and reliable. and knows everybody as
well as he is known. 1t is beyond doubt
a great comfort to know that you can
place your Christmas goods in the hands
of a company like the Adams. Let
every one read the locals of the Adams
Express Company, and see what they
can do in the way of delivery of goods.
Mark your packages plainly, giving
streets and numbers, and send them to
the Adams with the comforting assur-
ance that they will be handled carefully
and be safely and promptly delivered.
