No White Sale that ever the store
has held, has been marked by the
spreading out of so attractive lot o.

endorsed that differentness heartily.

to him:
Your corn looks rather small"

dwarf corn"

Mobile Recently had to relay some
of the creosoted wooden blocks that
had been disturbed by washouts. The
Register, Of that city, states that en-
examination it was found that a
number of them were not completely
saturated with creosote." This is one
thing Americas must look out for. By
chopipng a number Of blocks, as the
work Of paving progresses, this may
be ascertained in advance. The strict
est scrutiny should exist throughout
the paving to see that Americas does
not repeat the Mobile experience.
