DRY WOOD
ALWAYS ON HAND.

We have a very choice lot of pine and
hard wood in stock. which we can sell
at the lowest market price.
We wish to emphasize the fact that our
wood is all kept under shelter and is
therefore always dry and in a strictly
first class condition.
Hundreds of homes recognize the high
standard OF our coal. We want thou
sands to appreciate the merits of both
our coal and wood.

AttyH. B. Davenport, Jr., of this place,
has received from his father, perhaps the
most remarkable relic in the State.
Itisa set of Blackstone's Commentaries
once owned by George Washington, bear
ing his authoghaph in the back of each.
They We're printed and bound by an Eng
lish firm something over $50 years ago,
and were bought, labeled and dated by
the distinguished owner, in 1857. After
his death they were sold at the sale of
personal effects, and bought by H. B.
Davenport's grandfather, who at his death
presented them to Mr. Davenport father,
who in turn gave them to his son, the
present owner.
They are well made books, mechanical
ly bound in substantial leather binding,
the four volumes are bound separately,
each volume in a separate book. They
have been so well handled. and cared for,
that many volume which has been used
but 10 years looks older.-Clay Co. Star.
