which was only mongrel cur; rather
wondered at their manifest affection, and
one day inquired the reason OF IL. Mr..
Downing, for answer, called "BenchV

him to "crow." My astonishment was
unbounded when the dog gave perfect

DR. sUTPHIN
Here As Partner Of DR., D. L
Proctor.

OfDr j.. L. Sutphin the GAINESVILLE
Chronicle says:
cit is loss to community to give
up citizen like DIR. Sutphin. He is
thorough in his profession, and had
built up lucrative practice in Clarks-
vile and vicinity, and his patrons
were among the best people of the
city. An earnest, honest, careful den
list, he could be relied upon for first
class work in all the more delicate de-
tails OF the profession Personally
no man has ever lived in GAINESVILLE
who commanded more genuine re-
spect on account of his integrity OF
character and high moral tone. May
success attend him."
DR.. Sutphin is now associated with
DIR. ID, L. Proctor in the practice OF
dentistry. DIR. Sutphin is regular
graduate in dentistry with fifteen
years of active practical experience
aud besides took special coursa
in crown and bridge work in 1891
in Chicago. We are glad to have
such men of science and experience to
locate in our midst and it is no mis-
take that he will add increased pat
ronage to the already large business
of DR.. Proctor.

Wonderful.

Some people talk of hard times, but
to those who labor hard such times
are obviated. The Wrought Iron

and sold from their factory in st. Louis
in the month of August, AZ car loads
of ranges, averaging from 66 to u to

one company sold in year in the I'm
ited States. From this point Mr.. l..
p. Lack has sold more than four car
loads in this and adjoining counties
from wagons, and in few weeks will
close out the last load. The range is
constructed on scientific principles
and is strictly wrought iron range.

All business properly pushed Is sue
cessful, but all the methods and plans
as mere formula are useless unless
backed by push. 1t is not out of the
way to say that one of the necessary
features of business method is cor
rect advertising. That is, the people
should know what is in stock and the
prices at which they are held, Any
firm, it matters not where ii is located,
if it has competition is inactive and
unsuccessful without advertising.
Show us men in business who neglect
this feature and we will show you
men who are grumbling about hard
times whether they be stringent or
flush, but as before stated, all men if
they would succeed must apply all the
judgement and energy they
possess

Those people who think the only
things necessary are a good stock, ac-
commodating statesmen and low prices
are sufficient will fail. 1t is work,
work, work, advertising, personal con-
tact, pluck, push; best efforts mnst be
given to business Along this line we
hEVe been studying some of our bus-
mess men and none of them fit more
perfectly real business principles than
the men composing the firm of Old
ham Bros. & Co., most generally
known as BUSY Bee store" Every
person connected with this store is
always busy, very busy, and from
early morning until late in the evening
their quarters are thronged with pur-
chasers eager to be waited on. They
are too busy to entertain oafers, their
custom being business, business, bust
ness before pleasure.
This week Mess. Oldham Bros. &
Co. talk to the people through the col,
unns of the ADVOCATE about their
different lines and those who have moi
already been to see them, have COR
dial invitation to get acquainted with
them and their business methods.
