MATTERS OF BUSINESS.

A. G. Bakers change of advertisement
 always eagerly looked for, appears m 10 days issue. The Hawleyville furniture man ia working up a big trade. His stock is surprisingly large. Not one man in a hundred would have thought oi | locating where he did. But cordial | treatment and low prices will bring trade, and in this respect he always fills the bill. In closing his advertisement, this week, he writes as follows, which will bear repeating: "Nothing will drive us away but the encroachments of a large town that will increase our expen- ses. create MI itching to become mayor, and other vices, without any cores pond- ing increase in advantages. Then we may e dr' ven to hunt d location back in the "foot hills" where the lion roareth and wild beasts wrangle over their prey. Come and see us before we go."

Hall & Co.,, at the great January sale announced elsewhere, they advertise that special feature of this sale will be great sale of cotton at old prices. As they naturally watch the market very closely and sec ing the advance in cottons coming, they laid in about $10,O worth of goods and are thus enabled to supply them for a. while at the old figures. It means busy month and large sales.

people of Headsville were going to
pound" him the next time he
went into the neighborhood. -
Thinking 1t best to be prepared, no
travelled in his conveyance SO that
il anything serious occurred he
might reach home more comforta-
bly, than IL on horseback. The re-
port was not unbranded. While
he was in church some made
a raid upon his vehicle and left it
in a "burdened" condition. As
he passed the stately homes of his
people they intersected him and
continued their liberal interference
until the buggy vas overwhelmed.
He finally made his escape and
reached home with grooming con-
voyance and a grateful heart. God
bless the raiders and reward them
