There is no salesman In Angus

ably known that our gooi friend
Mr.. Charles NJ. Rauton, and there
is no more reliable clothing store
than that with which he is connec-
ted, Mr.. E. S. McCreary'p. There
can be found here a tremendous
stock of Clothing, Hats and Fur
nishinge. The McCrealy clothing
fits we'll, Looks we'll and wears
we'll. The superior excellence of
these goods can be accounted for
only through the excellent judge
ment and good taste of Mr.. Nc
Creary who ransacks the leading
markets for the best of everYth ing.
Give them call when n Augusta.
Never before has our stock of
Fall and VIII ter Clothing for Men
and Boys been more complete, and
l invite everybody iu need of these
goods to come to my store before
buying. We can save you money.

debauchery by lending your pres

bauchery and social depravity by
