grocers-for the reason that they al
ways treat customers courteously, keeI
on hand a fresh, clean stock, pay good
prices for produce and sell as low as
the market will permit.
Charlie Moore has received a beau
tiful new back ground for his photo
graph gallery that adds greatly to the
elegance of his pictures. And hy-tfe-
way he is doing some mighty fine
work these days and lots of it.
All the Sunday schools will give
Christmas entertainments especially
for the benefit of the children. All
will be given on Christmas eve except
that at the Reformed church which
will be given Christmas night.
There is no other place where you
can have anything like the
of dolls, toys and other play things
from which to select Christmas pres
ents for the Children as ut Aliens.
And he has more coming every day.

Have you noticed that new depar-
ture at Anderson 4 DeClute's? They
have added blankets TO their stock
and are selling them at astounding
prices. Two good gray blankets for
95 cents! Think of it. Go and see
them.
The holiday season is now upon us
and Allen is ready for 1T with splen-
did line of plush goods, albums, toilet
sets, books, toys and holiday goods of
all kinds. Yon ought not to think of
buying anywhere else before examin-
ing his stock.
The new street lamp was put In
Wednesday and it Is certainly a mag
nificent success, as far as giving light
Is concerned, being as brilliant as an
electric light. 1t has not been tested
yet i'm a strong wind; but it looks as if
1t would stand the test.
There will be services at the Reform
ed church ON Christmas morning at
IL o'clock. On Christmas evening the
s. s. will give an entertainment at
which time q Christmas tree will be
lighted. Come one and all and enjoy
the services with us. w. T.. Sha'ey,

w. H. Root is now settled in his
new shop, at the COutant building
and solicits the patronage of those
needing the services of a first-class
timer. Spouting, roofing and sheet
iron work done promptly and at
reasonable rates. Satisfaction guar
anteed.
You may talk all you want to but
after all there Is nothing quite SO ac-
ceptable for q Christmas present as
silverware or jewelry. Frank LETTER
knows this and he has anticipated the
demand by bringing OH splendid
stock of goods. Make your selections.
now before the assortment is broken.
After seven weeks of nearly total
blindness resulting from an accidental
injury TO his left eye-the sight i'm the
years ago-Justice Morehouse has at
last recovered sufficiently to be able to
go about without a guide, and to read
a little at time. He has rented the
building just south of c. l.. Whita-
ker's office, for an Office and will be
.oInd there during business hours
ready for business. He solicits
share of the work belonging to his
office.
1t will cause very general feeling
of regret, not only i'm lola but all over
the county, to learn that the Elevator
Mills are not likely to be rebuilt. Mr..
Gilmore, the junior member of the
firm, has made investments in other
lines that leaves him no available cap
ital, and Mr.. T'hayer finds that to re.
place the mill on his own responsible
ty would COMPEL him to carry greater
obligations than he feels Justified in
assuming. The regret with which
this announcement Is made Is temper
ed, however, by the satisfaction taken
i'm noting that hereafter Mr.. Thayer
will devote all his time and energies
to the development of our marble In
dustry. The original company, of
which Mr.. Thayer was one, has this
week been reinforced by the addition
of several of our strongest business
men so that all the capital which can
be used at the present time, is assur-
ed. Gang saws and other machinery
to the value of some $1,000 have been
ordered, and will be set to work as
soon as it arrives under Mr.. Thayer's
direction, assisted by Mr.. Bramley
and Mr.. Searls. The railroad company
has promised to put In switch as soon
as it is needed, which will be very
soon after the saws get to work. So
although one lola industry has been
wiped out, another has gained a new
impetous and will be pushed for all
it Is worth. Surely If there Is any re-
ward laid up for pluck and persever-
ance, lola will come out on top some
