Is Prohibition a Success.

We leave this for the people of the To-
c~alities interested to decide, while we
try to induce those who have to use it,
for sickness of for family S in any
way, to use pure Whiskey. The kind
that Oes the least harm and the most
good. We don't suppose there ever was
or ever will be a person but who would
want pure whiskey if he could get it,
and yet, the impure article has been
sold SO much, and the claim so often
made that it was pure that some people
do not know the taste or qualifications
Of the genuine article.
Convenience again causes som to be
careless in ordering their whiskey.
They either imagine they will not get
their orders filled promptly, or that we
are too far away to give their orders
the attention they should have. Still
another wrong impression, as we deliver
goods in the South as promptly as to
local points, and we make a speciality OF
shipping all orders promptly on the first
train.
During the last three months we have
endeavored to give the readers of this
paper a few facts concerning whiskey,
to guide them in it's use and buying. We
have already received magnificent re-
suits, and are particularly pleased with
our part of the advertising, and should
there be anyone who would like for Us
to go more into details, we will give
them all the information they desire if
they will write us.
Let us send you our order blanks and
instructions-give Premier Pure a trial.
and W though you are the poorest
Judge Of whiskey you will experience no
trouble in telling the difference in our
goods and others.

THE FIRE IS NEVER OUT IN A

BLAST STOVE

The comfort of getting up in the
morning and dressing in warm
room is one of the agreeable features
in the possession of a Coles original
Hot Blast stove. The fire is never
out in this remarkable stove from
the time it is set up in the fall until
taken down in spring, and the rooms
can be kept warm all night and for
two or three hours in the morning
with the fuel put in the stove the
night before.
Just think what this means for
the promotion of health. Sickness
usually starts from cold con
tracted in an unevenly heated house.
Where the home can be evenly
heated day and night colds are only
a memory, and much sickness is thus
prevented. Health, comfort, con-
venience and economy all go with
the purchase of a Coles Original
Hot Blast. Investigate to-day,

Greeley Peculiarities.

Mr. Greeley said he the other

of life except when he had pen in

Then his head was level.
His wife was just as peculiar as
he was. They had one son, Pickey,
who died Young. Mrs. Greeley never
permitted the boy TO eat flesh or to
know that animals were killed for
food.
Mrs. Greeley was as earnest a re
former as Mr.. Greeley. and as indiffer
ent as he to the conventionalities OF
life. Mr.. Greeley took Ine up to the
house once 10 dinner, and | noticed
he -four barrel standing in the front

A Criticism.

During the recent american tour
Of Emile Mors, the automobile expert
of France, there was parade in New
York.
NJ. Mors. at the time of the parade's
passage, was on Fifth avenue. See.
ing the great throngs of people, and
hearing the loud gay music, he decid'
ed that he would like to have a look
at the procession. and accordingly he
plunged into the deep crowd and tried
to work his way to place of vantage.
The nearer the front he got the
more evidence he found of the police.
The police, indeed, were in great evil
dence, pushing here, showing there,
now uttering loud threats, now max
ing. amid intense excitement, an ar
rest.
Keep back! Keep back Keep
back" was the continuous cry.
NJ Mors could hardly see the parade
for the police. and on account Of the
excitement that they caused he could
not keep his mind on It at all. Turn
ing somewhat impatiently to man
ON his left, he said:
Why, sare is the crowd being kept
back so VARY forcibly?"
so as to give the police full chance
