The Augusta Lumber CO.. has some
of the finest lumber in stock now that
has been sawed in this vicinity for 4
long time. There is one especially fine
lot of pine plank which deserves men
ton. It is all old growth pine, as hand
some as anything can be. These plank
run all the way from one foot to over
two feet in width, are four inches
thick, Is to 90 feet long without q
shake or a vain. no sap and hardly a
knot to he found. They are to be
shipped to New York parties, and a
strange thing is that they will not COM
mand as much by $50 to $50 per thou
sand as Michigan pine. 1t is not a
matter of quality. for there can be
nothing better and were they put in to
be sold with Michigan or other West
ern pine. would be worth Si3 to $50 per
thousand The only trouble is that
they are Eastern pine" and the pop
ular within condemns them as cheap.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when.it is entirely closed. Deafness is the

"The Volunteer Organist."

To GramatiZe q popular book has been
the work of many Il playwright in the
past. But some adapters have gone Il
few points farther in advance by
adapting plays from songs that have
pertinent playwright went so far back
into ancient history as to take the
old, old jingle Captain links of the
Horse Marines" and weave a story for
the stage around it.
The most notable success in this
sort of work, however, has been ''The
Volunteer Organist,' the story of
which, with elaboration has been taken
by William p. Gray from his immensely
successful song of the same title. The
song had q most phenomenal sale
over 2S5,000 copies being sold in the
United States alone, and now that Mr..
Gray has placed it in dramatic form, it
is accepted by the appreciative public
with even more gustO than they well
coined the pretty song when it was
first published.
The great success CT "The Volunteer
Organist" in dramatic form has made
the author often wonder why he did not
adapt it before. The piece as played
on the stage necessarily introduces
several characters not found in the
song, but they are all presented in such
a natural manner that one almost
wonders how the beautiful song
prospered without them.
The title of no song is better know
throughout the land than this self
same one, and the sterling quality of it
is a guarantee that theatregoers here
will anxiously await the opportunity OF
witnessing the play at the Opera House
on next Wednesday Sept. g..

Sept. II. The name of the play is
short, but expressive, it is simply
HELLO BILL but it is the keynote
of the play which is as humorous a
performance as one could wish to see.
The wit is of the wittiest, the plot is of

Patronize Home Industry.

We clip the following from the
Crowley Signal which is gooo
sermon for a vast number Of oul
citizens in Franklin, who are al
ways kicking about the condition
and prosperity of the town, and
when they need anything send on
for it before trying to get thelI
wants at home:
"Coming right down to brass
tax, it's cold-blooded business
proposition when you go out to
buy a suit of clothes, or a ham, OF
baby carriage, or any other ne
cessity of life. You buy where
you can get the best value for
your money. That's business.
The man you buy from patronizes
your store if you give him better
value for his money than your
competitors; if he can get better
bargains across the street he goes
there. That's business. If you
can give him as good bargain as
your competitors he trades with
YOU because you trade with him.
\ That also is business. You have
no kick coming either way, for
: you have had an honest chance to
compete, and the money stays in
town.
But suppose you are a tailor OF
a dealer in general merchadise,
and you buy your baby carriages
for little Willie and the twins from
a local dealer. A few days later
q solicitor for individual orders OF
clothing comes to town and the
baby carriage man orders his
spring clothing from New Orleans,
or Kansas City, or Cincinnati.
You could have furnished him at
least approximately the same
value for his money, and the
capital would have remained right
here. You could have felt better
about it if he had gone to your
competitors at home for his CLOTH
ing. Where will you be likely to
buy your baby carriages next
year, if you are lucky enough to
need more juvenile transportation
facilities?
ssThe business or professional
man who goes out of town to buy
what he can buy at home is vio-
lating a sound business princi-
pie - the principle of domestic
trade reciprocity. The employee
who Is not enough interested in
his town to patronize its indus
tries is not made of the right stuff
to be anything else but an en-
ployee.
"Whenever you have occasion to
buy anything from an outsider,
first go to your home merchants
aud find out if they can furnish as
I good an article for anything like
! the same money. If they can,
give them the preference. You
will be surprised to see how few
things you will. find it profitable
to buy away from home"
