MAKE HOME BEAUTIFUL.
It Can be Done at Little Cost if You
Deal With b. L. Sneed.

and righteous pleasure to sing
the praise Of home. That is why
the COURIER man loves to write
of the beauties and merits OF
Keytesville and Keytesville peo-
pie. There is food here for the
fertile mind, but the truth is
sufficient, and any embellish-
ment would only be superfluous.
Keytesville is not a city of
such great length and breadth
in terrestrial measurement; it is
not a city of enormous population !;
its business men are not rated
among those of immense wealth,
but it is known to be a town of
abs olutely genuine worth. Pos
sibly not town of like popula-
ton in Missouri-the grandest
state in this glorious union-pos-
sesses a stronger, worthier and
more successful business class of
men, than are now sustaining
the splendid record of Keytes-
vile.
Every line of business is we'll
represented, and the farmers or
others who buy and sell here
are always sure of fair dealing,
and they nearly always find it
profitable to trade with Keytes-
vile merchants. There is a
spirit of liberality here that is
not manifest in many other towns.
Our merchants are neither selfish
nor greedy; they only want that
portion Of the earth which legiti-
mately belongs to them.
Comparisons often prove the
worth of the genuine over the
spurious, and this rule has had
much to do with bringing about
the prosperity of Keytesville's
business firms. The man with
the goods and prices does not
fear comparison or dread compe-
tition. Such is the sentiment of
H. L. Sneed, the furniture deal
er. His long residence here has
familiarized him with the de-
mands of the people, and, of
course, he has supplied them.
His business training has edu-
Gated him in the selection of
goods as we'll as Obtaining the
best prices, and he knows the
value Of 4 satisfied customer.
These facts are evidenced by the
success attending his business
and in the stock of goods he is
offering to the trade at such
tempting prices.
Mr.. Sneed's business has in
creased and is swelling every
day. The room he has been oc-
cupying is insufficient, and this
week he moves to larger and
better arranged quarters under
Sneed's hotel, two doors east of
the COURIER office. For more
than a week carpenters and ar
tizans have been remodeling,
improving and extending this
room-even building a commo-
dious wareroom annex. Into this
new place Of business Mr.. Sneed
is putting one of the largest
stocks of furniture in Charlton
county. This stock is not only
one of the largest, but it is
complete in assortment. He has
everything from picture frame
to the finest folding-bed or set of
parlor furniture. He is prepared
to furnish any home, from the
humblest cottage to the pri1cely
palace, and at prices in harmony
with the purchasers purse.
1t is worth any man or woman's
time to visit this up-to date
store. Upon entering you are
attracted by the splendidly ar
ranged and handsome furniture.
The elegantly trimmed couches
or divans will please the eye;
the latest designs in bedroom
suits, leading up to the elaborate
parlor furnishings, will convince
you at once that here is the
