TAKING PRECEDENCE

over all other functions of our store is
the Prescription Department, and we
feel that it has demonstrated its po-
sition in Raleigh with considerable EN-
phasis. The appliances, equipments and
conveniences are of the most modern
adaptation. Nothing is wanting that
could assist us in rendering a better or
more perfect drug store service. Pure
drugs on the shelves and courtesy be-
hind the counter always to be found
when you trade with us. Let us fill
your prescriptions.

ly Grave doubts existed to the ability of cash store
to best do special thing We proved the faacy of pop
uar notions. And SO this Cash House became and con-
tinues to be- the states Headquarters for Dress Goods.
The people know of the great assoments obainabe re
and of the low prices charge, No store can ever
do all the business in any ne-but store can do a

CITY EXPANSION
AND SOME
GeTanium vaey History

Something over twenty years ago our
Senior bought a corner in Geranium
Valley, about twelve acres of it inside
the city. He opened up mile of streets
and numbered his lots one to one hun
dred, and visions of wealth warmed his
heart as he awaited the coming of the
Street Commissioner to work the new
ly opened Avenues, but he waited in
vain, for many years his little children
were often lost in the wild luxuriance
of Jimson weeds and Broom Sedge
vain, for many years his little children
are grown men and women now, his
Taxes also grew and they continue to
grow to this day. This Street Commits
soner has never come. No improve
ments pass that way, and often in the
middle of the crop he works his field
hands on the so-called streets that his
friends may find a path to his house.
The city lots have been converted into
Turnip Salad and Onion patches, and
where he had hoped to see fine houses
erected and Gourd Vine flourishes in
stead of being a man of wealth and po-
sition he still keeps his little Grocery
Shop and is truly grateful when a Gus
toner pays him the cash for 2-cent
yeast cake.
We have given our endorsement to
the Pure Food bill, and shall toat as
fair with it as business will permit We
think the Commission should now turn
its attention to the Dry Goods trade.
We have read that the best bleached
Domestic runs 40 yards to the pounu.
8 ounces Of this is Soapstone or Talk
Starch. if Potato or Cereal Starch were
used the poor mans wife before max
ing it up, or afterward if she preferred,
by boiling it down if properly seasoned
would make a very fair soup. Soapstone
or Talk Starch soup would lie very heavy
on the little ones stomachs, an add
tional burden on the poor man in Pam
Killer and Paregoric. these also should
be subjects of Investigation.

1t Is generally conceded by econo-
mists. who study the commercial sit.
uation of the country, that the great
arteries Of railway travel are sure
Indication OF its condition. A depres-
sion in commercial lines means aban-
doned business trips and the cancclla-
tion OF pleasure travel. while q healthy
condition of affairs means business
trips and an increase Of passengers on
pleasure bent.
A good evidence that a business re-
vival has gone broadcast over this
country Is the Lake Shore Limited"
the star train of the Vanderbilt sys-
TEN. between New York and Chicago.
which is daily comfortably filled. With
a view to taking the best possible care
Of Its patrons. the New York Central
has arranged to Increase the equip
ment of this train by placing an addi-
tional standard sleeper on the trains
leaving New York and Chicago Tues
days, Thursdays and Saturdays. To
the regular traveller the appointments
and comforts Of this train are well
known. but II you have never made .
trip on 1t, you owe 1t to yourself to
see and enjoy the advance made In
comfort and luxury in modern railway
travel. Remember the FIRE Is no high
er on this train. except between New
York and Chicago, while the accommo-
dations and service place this particu-
lar train conspicuously at the head OF
the list, when compared with other
lines.-Albany Journal.
