Mr.. Owen E. Rabbit, of Washington,
d. c., has opened produce store at North
Tazewell, and will buy poultry, eggs and
al kinds of country produce, paying cash
for the same. This Is a very Important
enterprise for our community and should
stimulate the farmers and their wives to
90 more largely into poultry raising. The
small things produced on the farm are
getting now to be more valuable than the
large ones. In another column you will

We control the wel.known line of "Bos-
tonian" shoes at this place. These shoes
are the perfection of shoe making, and
the manufacturer stamps the price on the
bottom of every pair, thus preventing any
merchant from charging more than the
small profit they allow. We have many
regular customers who wear these shoes.
If you have not seen them call in and LET
us show you the best line of shoes that
comes to the town.
