and the undivided profits increased
to over $4,000, making now a
a fund of over $4,000 standing to
the credit of capital and undivided

AN OPPORTUNITY
To Lay in a Supply Of Good Flour at
Wholesale Prices.

We were so unfortunate as to
have lot of flour made up'and in
stockduring the spell of bad, mucky
weather we had. and owing to the
climatic conditions and the condi-
tion of the wheat, this flour became
unsound.
We put out quite lot of it be-
fore we discovered the condition
of it and as consequence lost some
customers.
We want to regain these and
demonstrate to the public that we
are making good flour and can make
it.
We guarantee every sack and
barrel to be alright, and offer it to
the flour buyers at the following
low prices, for the cash, for 80
days'beginning December 10.
We will make no distinction.
everyone that has the price can

best grade. 1t is as good as any
winter wheat patent made; very

PRIMROSE patent. A grade
that will suit most everyone. Price
moderate and quality good, at

Five Babes Left MOthsFIeSS

One of the saddest deaths which
has occurred in Clarke county for
a long time, and one which has
excited great deal of pity from
everyone, was the death of Mrs.
Alex. Mills, near Castleman's Ferry
last Thursday, after a lingering
illness from tuberculosis.
She was only about 25 years
OF age, and is survived by a hus-
band and five small children, com
prlsing two sets of twins, the Oldest
child being only five years of age.
The funeral was held Saturday,
and interment was made in Eben-
ezer Churchyard.
The COURIER's correspondent at
Bluemont writes as follows:
While Mr.. Mills was only a
laborer, and worked hard every
day. no one on earth could have
been more loving or devoted to his
family.
Last Fall, at the beginning of
Mrs. Mills last illness, DR.. John
