"By gum, L clean forgot until this
minute those groceries my mother
asked me to buy for her while down
town. She told me to go To Cowan d
Ausherman's drug and grocery
store,n said Mr.. House, as we were
about to return TO his workshop.
so to this store we went. Mr.. House
who is good judge of groceries,
threw up his hands when he saw this
firms stock. Its great" he said,
and thereupOn he purchased and pur-
chased until / thought he never would
stop. "Why, man. he laid, "look
at the goods for those pricesr" Well,
he'd go wild. He bought a big bill
and then we left. This firm is old
timers. Mr.. Ausherman, is the coun-
ty's able sheriff. Mr.. w. A. Cowan
handles the drugs ID Mr.. ). J. Cow
an the groceries. He was at one time
postmaster, while w. A. COwan was
mayor 8 terms, has been OH the school
board number of years and is now
city clerk. He has been here SO
years.
Since my last visit to Mr.. Houses
work shop sad accident befell his
deaf mute assistant. The poor fellow
while engaged in working on a lad
der, fell off and sustained injuries
from which he died. He now lies in
the grave yard but is not forgotten.
His employer caused to be erected q
handsome granite monument over his
last resting place. In this connection
let me say that the monument is
worthy of more than passing notice.
1t was from the marble works of Pal
mer & Null, who make the best and
most artistic monuments and grave
stones in the county, and they sell
them cheap, too, and they guarantee
all their work. l called there the
other day and saw Is newly made
monuments and head stones which
they have on hand and they told me
they had just set up or ten. This
firm furnishes monuments for every
cemetery within hundred miles of
lola. They sell awful cheap to.
Now Pm going to tell you what the
"to be" Mrs. House bought. Being
soon-to-be bride she just blusbed
awful when she told me. "Well,"
she said, Il bought just the loveliest
little hat to wear with my brown
skirt. You know that skirt, don't
you? o! that's so. Of course you
don't. Well, l bought that hat and
one for my lavender dress, one for my
travelling dress and one for my recep-
ton dress and -. Oh, well if you get
tired of hearing me tell this l won't"
and Mrs. House, to be, turned up her
} pretty nose and stamped her dainty
, foot. "Oh no, keep on" l said. Then
she told me all about her dresses she
Just had made. She said she got
them and the hats of Mrs. J. s. Tur-
3 ncr. "And say" she whispered, 1.-The
, price is but half what L am used to
paying" Mrs. Turner operates a
dreessmaking establishment in con-
[ nection with her millinery. She en-
f ploys helpers, and all the swell hats
I and dresses come from her place.
: AS the great inventor is going to be
married shortly, you know, it was
4 perfectly natural for him to ask me,
who knows everybody, to tell him
where he could get the best dress suit
8 made. Of course l told him to go to
Gus Krannich's tailoring establish
:, ment. He went there and say! he
D has 6 of the handsomest suits l ever
saw made They fitted to perfection
and the cost was but half what one
= would ordinarily pay for such clothes.
Krannich is great tailor. One can
be assured that fit, finish and goods
will be the best obtainable in suits he
makes and the price will be low
Don't miss Gus if you want an ele.

: the inventor called at the store of J

half of his big stock of groceries, dry
goods, flour, etc. He also bought q
!, big lot of crockery and glassware to
be deposited with the groceries fol
emergencies. OF the same firm he
bought a supply of notions, ladies
:, and gents furnishings and thousand
and one articles usually found in
stores of this kind. You can imagine
the ease in which he selected this lot
when 1 tell you that McClain carries
9 complete lines of everything. His
