Only a small amount, comparatively
speaking, is needed TO raise the debt on

should do so without delay, as the build

A Good Workman.

Mr.. F. W. Stokes, a practical paper
hanger of many years experience, is now
at work in Bamberg, and he wants to
make this place his headquarters. The
town has long needed such man, and II
our citizens will appreciate his work by
giving him patronage, he will stay, and
they will then have the services of first
class interior decorator always at hand.
He is at present doing work for the editor
of this paper at his residence, and We can
highly recommend him. Heis really and
truly paper hanger and does not claim
to be 'jack of all trades" Paper hang
ing alone is his business, and he certainly
knows how to do and does do beautiful
work. He carries large line of the latest
styles of wall papers, and all you have to
do is to select the paper you want and
tell him to do the work. He estimates
on a complete contract, which is much
more satisfactory than attempting to pur-
chase the material yourself. He will even
select the paper if you wish him to do so.
This is not a paid advertisement, and
what we have written is without his
knowledge. We write this recommends
tion because we want to see good paper
hanger locate here, and he can't do so
unless he gets work. 1t is up to our citl-
zens. If they want to keep good work
man, now is their opportunity.
