BEGINS TO-DAY !!

Did you get notice telling you
bout the special sale to begin
IN the 15th7 1t starts to-day -!
TO those who have put off buy
ng until after the holidays are
over, will nows 6nd a golden ops
portunity. January always
means stock-taking. We do not
take stock as early as some, be
cause we prefer counting dollars
just now, rather than yards and
dozens. I have been selling
goods over eighteen years and
have always made tia rule to
visit the large cities just after
the holidays, as its great bar
gain making time-the mer-
chants being anxious to close
out what winter goods they have
left. I have just returned from
the North. We begin our annual
January reduction sale to-day.
No goods will be carried over,
that can possibly be sold now.
We have been marking every
thing down, and we intend to
make this sale one for the peo
pie. Pardon us, we do not in>
tend it as Boosting, but there is
no store in Elizabeth City that
has tried to do more to merit the
patronage of the public, than
Mitchell's. He has given away
hundreds of dollars worth of
presents to his customers besides,
paying a license to do SO. Peo-
pie are continually asking, what
will he do next -? Well, he is
doing the biggest thing now,
ever done. Go and get one OF
his punch cards. He is giving
them away free. The punch
card amounts to only five dollars
and you have a whole month to
trade it out--you or any of your
friends can trade with the same
card. Ifyou only buy five cents
worth ofgoods, its punched from
your card-when you have fin
ished trading the amount of your
card, you are entitled to your
choice of any of the elegant
presents for the trifing sum OF
10 cents. Each present is worth
from IS cents to $I.oo each. The
