Must Not Do Special Work
The follow ingorder ha been issued hv Mr.
Dawes, Comptroller of the Currency:
1T has come to my attention that it has
been the custom OF some national bank
examiners to accept employment and com
pensation therefor in making extra ex-
aIninations and reports of condition of ma
tional banks assigned them for regular
examination. which examiDa tion and re-
ports are for the use of the banks. and
not for this office.
For an examiner to accept employment
in examinations OF the same bank from
both the Government and the bank has a
tendency to interfere with that rigid i,l-
partially which should cirira cterize his
work as a Government official.
Notice is hereby given that hereafter

exceedingly desirable stock to selec,
from. A large portion of the most de-
sirable and acceptable presents are
selected in the line of gents furnish
ings and fancy slippers, etc, etc. Now
careful reading of this large ad re-
veals a tremendous margin between
regular prices and the reduction
prices they quote. A look at this store
convinces one that the firm doing bust

just what they advertise. and strang-
ers to this firm may rest assured of 4
pleasant reception and fair treatment
from both proprietors and clerks.

What more can be said to induce peo-
pie from.a greater distance to visit this
store and see the immense stocks in
these four rooms. two devoted to the
dry goods and fancy goods depart
ments, one basement to a tremendous
stock of carpets, rugs. etc, and the
other to- capes, jackets and garments.
BY the way. they are advertising to
make big cut on ladies' and chill
dren's winter garments of all kinds.
Their Christmas stock of fancy bas-
kets, celluloid goods, etc. etc, almost
give the store the appearance OF a
Bazaar" If you come near enough to
see their beautiful window displays
there will be no doubt but you will en-
ter and purchase some of your pres
ents in one of Augustus oldest and
best known dry goods stores. The

The East Side shoe store has truly
come ito the front once more" DOM
suppose from this you are to see q
large store with an elegant and expen-
sive front. Mr.. Marden is an old for
in business, and when he located on the
East Side he built small store, and
the tenement above pays fair rent for
the building, hence you can see why ne
quotes low prices and still sunilingly
continues business. Pretty hard for
any business depression to disturb a
mans business under such circum-
stances. All is, read his ad carefully,
| note the prices and take pains to see
the goods. then you will be able to tell
your neighbors the story.
Russell & Weston's quarter page ad
gives but faint idea of the real
character of the goods, and the popu-
lar prices to be found in this elegant
store. Augusta can well invite visitors
to inspect this stock of goods as being
a representative stock of mo mean
city" 1t would be easy and the COM
mon way, to enumerate the many de-
sirable lines of goods to be found here,
but the ad does this and gives prices.
The writer desires ito use this limited
space in urging You to visit that upper
room before you leave the store; do not
fail to do so, it will repay you, even #
you do not desire to purchase. Here
is where you will see beautiful pictures
and medallions. toilet articles, leather
goods, Japanese ware and o. so many
goods you will want to see before you
purchase your presents. Prices of
Jackets and capest are being badly
slaughtered in this store.

The large ad of e. e. Davis & Co.
does not enumerate very many prices,
