Two OF Mexico's bright young la
dies dropped in a certain store to look
around and see the holiday goods.
They had been around the square and
had seen the sights and priced the
goods.
How much is that piece Of statuary?
she asked the clerk. Eight cents, was
the reply. Why, they asked 19c for
the same thing at Franks & Blanks.
And how much is that pedestal? That
is Sc, CT the statuary and pedestal for
l5c, was the reply. My, they wanted
l5c for that, or SIC for two. And, oh,
that lovely vase, how much is that?
15c, was the answer. Oh, gracious,
Franks s. Blanks asked me 25c. And
that cute little figures there, how
much is It? 1Oc, was the reply. Why,
sakes alive, they asked me sc. Well,
one thing is sure, we viii buy our holi-
day presents Of you. We thought
Franks s. Blanks were cheap but they
can't touch these prices.
This was the substance Of a CONVEX
sation which took place in our store
Wednesday. Names, Of course,
changed otherwise the same. We use
no bait, sell no goods at or below
cost, and charge double for others. We
believe honest merchandising is to sell
everything at a legitimate profit. Ex-
anime our line Of holiday goods. Our
prices are away down. No extra pri'
ces for these goods, but same low pri'
ces on all goods.

er T. Washington, the famous c0lored
educator, who a few weeks ago dined
at the White House with President
Roosevelt, was refused accommoda-
tions at three Springfield hotels last
night. He finally procured a room at
the Russell Hotel. The hotels which
are said to have turned him away are
the leading houses Of the city.
lit is true said the proprietor Of
one hotel tonight, THAI we were
obliged to refuse Mr.. Washington a
room last evening, just as we were
obliged to refuse thirty or forty 9TH

Mr.. Washlngton's color, but was made
necessary by the oyer-crowded condi.

"If Mr.. Washington was turned
away it was because the hotel wa
crowded, said the night clerk Of an
other hotel. Clerks on duty in othe'
hotels last night say that they hat

Rev. A. E.. Burch, the subject Of
this sketch, win, on the third Sunday
in this month, begin a series OF revival
meetings at New Hope Baptist
Church, OF miles southeast Of Gen.
tralia. Rev. Burch was formerly
pastor Of this church and the work
greatly prospered under his pastorate,
he having conducted the greatest re-
ylval the church had known for years.
1t is needless to tell Of his excellence
as a soul-wlnner, as his work speaks
for itself. This year, especially, the
Lord has wonderfully blessed his and
Rev. Westbrook's efforts In the saliva.
tion of souls, as is eyinced by the
precious revival at Bethlehem las
fall resulting in 6s additions TO thi
church. From there they went 4
carroll county and held a 3 days an,
five nights meeting in a school housi
and % were converted.
They have just closed a meeting a
Norborne Baptist Church tof whicl
Rev. Burch is PASTOR lasting 2 week
and 4 days, with ~ additions 10 thi
church. Now he comes to New Hop
to finish the years work. His untiI
ing zeal, his deep interest In lost soul
and his wonderful success in the Mas
ter's vineyard leads us to anticipate
glorious meeting. The church ha
lately been Fepapered and room 70
teams enlarged, and all are cordial
and earnestly invited to come an
help in the meeting.
