A Beautiful Display.

On last Thursday night the Lexing-
ton Dry Goods Co. had at its big
store house it's regular fall opening
display Of Dress Goods, Millinery and
Fancy Goods. The display was ar
ranged by Miss Mclean, who was
given most valuable assistance by
Mr.. Paul Hoffman of New York City.
The display was conceded by all to
have been one Of the best and most
attractive ever made in Lexington,
showing as it did q very beautiful line
of all goods for ladies' wear and use
in most attractive manner.
1t Is another mark Of the growth
and progress Of Lexington and our
progressive citizens that these open
ings grow in attractiveness, both as
to arrangements and merchandise
shown year by year, and it is with
pride that we refer to this display Of
the Lexington Dry Goods Co.
This concern commenced business
here just two years ago, and by hard
and unceasing effort has increased Its
business until it takes rank with the
leading firms Of the state. It has as
good and accommodating corps Of
employees and can be found in any
store, and we understand that in
every line. the stock Of this store il
as complete as can be found in towns
Of much larger size than Lexington.
We wish this firm continued growth
and prosperity.

T. W. Smith & Sons Co.

T. ". Smith & Sons Company are
moving into their mammoth shed at
Wilson's Crossing.
A representative Of the Advertiser
called upon the firm and was shown
through Ftheir establishment. The
huge shed is said to be the largest in
the state under one roof and is
90x120 feet. IA wide driveway runs
through the center of the building,
enabling wagons to load from either
side. Everything is arranged to pre-
clude the possibility Of any conges-
tion of traffic. On either side huge
piles Of lumber cover all of this floor
space. A supply of about 100000
feet is maintained here and any local
demand for the same is filled pro pity
from this stock.

In another part of the building are
piles of doors, sash, blinds, ETC., that
would be q creditable stock for any
city firm.
Still in another place great piles
of grain is stacked, which seem to
the observer enough to feed all the
stock in Holmes county for the next
year, but which, lMr. Smith assured
our reporter, would all be sold in a
few weeks.
Near the main sheds are the coal
yards, from which Lexington gets
the larger part of the coal burned
each year.
The Offices are to be luxuriantly
furnished and will be a model for
business offices.
The company contemplates adding
in the near future several other i'm
portant lines. a
The business was established in
1892 by H. F. Willis & Co., Of which
Mr.. T. w. Smith was a member, and
was Incorporated last year as the 7.
W. Smith & Sons Co. Since its in
ception in 1892 it has been uniformly
successful and is one of the staunch
firms that Lexington is justly proud Of.
Mr.. 7. W. Smith, the president Of
the company, has been in the bust
4 ness circles Of Lexington for many
Eyears, and was at one time deputy
I sheriff Of the county. He has wide
Y acquaintance among the farmers and
