A Trip tO the Thriving Town OF rr"sp peFhy'


Having a desire to visit the much
talked of town of prosperity, S. g.,
said to my better half let's take a trip
to the town where they say goods OF
first quality are sold at astonishlngly
low prices. An early start, with gooo
roads, the trip was pleasant and easy
Approaching the town we saw the large
brick store of Moseley Bros. towering
away above anything iu town, an I'M
mense building for such size town,
fifty feet wide and a hundred feet long
two stories high and a large warehouse
annexed 80 by 100 #. long and two
stories high. Upon entering that i'm
mense building the first thing to greet
us was the millinery department II
charge of Mrs W. A. Moseley who has
Just returned from the north, having
selected a beautiful line of millinery,
and we found beautiful pattern hats,
and everything up to date, and the
prices startled us-so much cheaper
than we had been paying in larger
towns, and upon mentioning that fact
the reply came, no house rent to pay,
town taxes, &c., much lighter than
larger towns. Passing along further
we met Mr.. Sidney Duncan who has
charge of the dry goods, notion, shoe,
clothing, hat and cap, &C., department,
assisted by Mrs. C. T. Wyche and Miss
Edna Fellers, both experienced ladies,
pleasant and popular. A few prices
made to us convinced us that this was
the place we were looking for; and pass
mig along to the grocery and crockery'
ware department, and needing some
change, we called upon Mr.. j. H. Hun
ter, the popular cashier in their bank
ing department. Passing further ON
we met Mr.. Ira Boland and Mr.. w. e.
Moseley, popular and pleasant young
men who are in the grocery and hard-
ware departments. We found that de-
uartment full of fresh goods and prices
and quality right in that department.
Before leaving we were invited by
the firm to visit their ware rooms, con-
tanning buggies, wagons, stoves, &C.,
and we found good stock. They showed
us nice carriage, the hundred dollar
kind, for $500, also the famous
and popular Iron King stove which
they have been handling for years; they
can furnish repairs for this stove; also
saw other makes, the prices ranging
from $500 to $500.
We were also invited up stairs to see
their immense furniture, Mattress
