Secondhand
Goods Dept.

There was opened today for the ac-
commodation of the people of Grand
Junction. and as business enterprise
new second store and trading empor-
ium. where there can be secured bar
gains of all kinds in the line of house,
hold furniture, and everything else
that can be found in the way of sec
ond hand goods There are and have
been for years second hand stores in
this city. and the only way in which
the new one will differ from the
others. is that it will be ON larger
scale and will make better bargain )
to the trade than those which have
been here longer.
The new store opened this morning
will be conducted by the Anderson
Scovill Mercantile com pany and there
is no doubt that it will fill the bill
when it cmoes to store of that char
acter. Mr.. A. N. Anderson of the
firm. has made record in the second
hand business in this city. and every
one knows that it was at Anderson S
that could be found the best bargains.
for the money. and it is a safe predic-
tion that in this line the Anderson
Scovill Mercantile company will
strike a lead which will mean hig
business for them and good thing
for the city.
A trading system will be inaugural
ed. whereby if there is any odd piece
of furniture about the house that is
not good enough for you and you
want something better. the cd piece
can be trad ed at the second hand store
and the amount allowed on it to go
toward the purchase of anything new
i'll the line of furniture. stoves. car
pets or uueensware. that can be found
in the immense line kept at the Bar
gain House. When this system is
well understood and established there
i no question that it will be great
benefit for ,veryone. Watch the new
store grow and go there to buv. sell
or trade anything you want or do not
want.
The Sentinel wishes the new estab-
lishment success and hopes that the
proprietors may find that the invest
ment will be a paying one. The new
store is located directly opposite The
Bargain House.

Widely Travelled people, who make
their comparisons, liken the city to
south Italian towns, with a dash of
Paris. Emphatically southern it ali is,

OF color; houses painted soft green's

and gray. ALI this under the bright
tropical sun gives an air of cheerful
ness to the solid, stone-built city.
The old town is still charming and
will ever be Latin and never Ameri-

proximity to the Texan ana Alabaman

Down further south, in the great for

This is a schoolboy pastime, and

the persons shoes, two others place
their fingers under each elbow, and a

The grass so little has to do
A sphere of simple green,
With only butterflies to brood
And bees to entertain,
And stir all day to pretty tunes
The breezes fetch along,
And hold the sunshine in its IAN
And bow to everything;
And thread the dews all night, like
pearls,
And make itself sc fine

In odors so divine,
AS lowly spices gone to sleep,
