Phenix City, July -(Special.eThe
first cessation in the daily rains in, this
section cap'e yesterday. Previous to that
time it had rained practically every day

of fair weather the farmers can get their
crops in reasonable shape again, al
though the glowing prospects of month
ago seem gone forever. At the same time,
II there is a renewal of the rains, even
II the showers are not as frequent as
they have been for the past two or three
weeks, conditions will be quite serious as
the grass already has long start on
the farmer and 1t will take steady work
RI rescue the crop.

MARKED SUCCESS COMES
TO THESE BUSINESS MEN

Beginning today the r. Topkis' Sons
department stores, No. 420 Market
street and No. AIT King stret will he
enlarged by the addition of No 41s
King street. This means that three
stores will be combined, giving Top
xis' frontage Of 40 feet in King street
and thoroughfaro through from Mar
ket street. when tho improvements
are completed sixty-fye girls will be
employed in the big store and Messrs.
William and Charles ToplSis are deter
mined not 20 stop here. They propose
to continue improvements until they
have a department store in Whining
ton that will equal any department
store in a city OF this size In the
country.
! Fifteen years ago the Topkis' brothers
started business In a little store 18xS5
| feet in Az King street. Since then
thay purchased the property TO Market
street, and spent thousands OF dollars
in improvements. Their combined
stores are now considered among the
most valuable ones in Wilmington. The
secret OF their success has becn the
strict attention to business and con-
slderation for their customers. The
latter has been an attraction because
low prices have prevailed, do. and will
prevail. thereby giving the customers
tho best advantages. These young
hustling business men have always
been on the lookout for good things
that benefit the Arm and their GUS
toners at tho same time. No stock
is too large or too small to buy
when there is chance to procure
saving for an appreciattive public. Gus
toners are well repaid for their patronage
at the Topkis stores because the goods
and the prices are always right. custo
mers once are always customers Of tho
Topkis stores. The members Of the frm
appreciate the patronage Of the people OF
Delaware and that Is why they have re-
built and remodelled the buildings where
they are located and in order 70 meet an
increasing trade they rented the adioinine
building. No 4tp King street. and carpen-
ters began work to-day so that the three
stores win be converted into one large
