Mr. Adams, Why Do You Have the
Reputation of Being High Priced

He said he knew he could get it
done cheaper somewhere else, but he
wanted it done right and brought it
to us. That is the reputation which
doing it right and charging what it
costs for having it done right has
made for us
DO You Want 1t Done Right?
And do you want what you think
you are buying? We prefer to be
considered high-priced if it is neces-
sary in order to do it right and sell
the goods you think you are buying.
Adams Jewelry Stores prices will
average less than any ten jewellers
you can find. Every travelling sales
man who calls on us tell us that this
is a fact.

This question was asked us day
or two ago by prominent merchant
Our answer was that all high-class
houses get the reputation of being
high-priced on account of handling
high-class goods. The people do not
take the time to investigate quality
and compare it with the price, but
jump at the conclusion. In order to
get the reputation of being cheap a
merchant must handle and feature
cheap stuff.
Now, cheap stuff is the last thing
in the world for a jewelry store to
build a reputation on, except that of
swindler, and We do not want to
get that reputation.

OPERA SEASON WILL OPEN.
''The Rosary" Strong New Play, to
Be Presented Tuesday Night.

1.-THE Rosary" Strong New Play, to
Be Presented Tuesday Night.
A new play to be produced in Daw-
son at the opera house next Tues
day night, Oct. 18th, is "The Ro-
sary," from the pen of Edward E.
Rose and produced by the we'll
known theatrical managers, Ed w.
Rowland and Edwin Clifford.
The play deals with conditions IN
the American home today. To prove
this a typical American family is
shown. A young wife, a devoted
husband, their friends and all the
beautiful surroundings that wealth
can procure are presented. Discord
enters their home; no one knows
whence it came, but it grows into
suspicion and doubt; the household
is rent and happiness is gone. Then
rises the other power, higher splr-
itual note, which brings the discord-
ant souls of the family back to peace
and happiness.
In some homes the cause has only
lust begun; in others misery and sor-
row are always at the door.

THREE DAMAGE SUITS FILED.
NEGRO WANTS $4,000 FROM A
PROMINENT PARROTT CITIZEN.
w. ID. Arnold Sues the County for

w. I'D. Arnold Sues the County for
Drowned Horses, and G.. NJ. COurie
Asks 500 From Central Road.
Three damage suits of public inter
est have been filed in the city court.
Attorney H. A. Wilkinson, repre-
senting w. D. Arnold, asks that the
county be required to pay the latter
5000 for two horses that were drown
ed in Chenubbee creek and damage to
MS buggy and harness, on the Daw-
son and PARROT road on January Sth
last. 1t is alleged that the cause of
the horses drowning was the insecure
condition of the bridge and bad work
that had been done on the abuttments
leading to it.
For H. R. Ralph, negro, Attorney
X. Marlin filed a suit for So
600 against j. W. Tilley of Parrott
for personal injuries claimed to have
been inflicted upon the plaintiff, who
alleges that on May 10th, 1910, Mr..
Tilley struck him with a walking
stick. The blow, it is alleged in
the suit, caused Ralph the loss of an
eye and permanently impaired his
efficiency as laborer. The trouble,
it is understood, grew out of the
encroachment by Ralph upon land of
Mr.. Tilley.
Attorney L. C, Hoyl, representing
c. M Couric, filed a suit for 500
against the Central railroad. Mr..
Couric alleges that he was damaged
that much by a delay of five days
in the transit of 100 bales of cotton
he shipped to Brunswick on the 18th
day of September last.

Every entry, whether real school
work. needle work, domestic, arts

County Seat Race a Disappointment

Under the above heading the Meta
line Falls News, which has maintained
a partisan stand in the matter, ex-
presses its sentiments and those of many
residents of the north end of the county:
The county seat fight is not develop
ing the interest that it was expected it
would early in the spring. The failure
of Cusick and Usk to get together and
center their efforts on bringing the
honor to the Calispel valley has prac-
tically eliminated them both, and while
their candidacy was at first very popu-
lar down here, the fact that they have
not effected compromise long ago is
something of a disappointment to many.
When lone entered the field it was sus-
pected by many that she had trump
card in her hand that would take the
trick, but up to the present moment
there is nothing to indicate such to be
the case, and in the face Of the fact
that they are making a very feeble
campaign it is hard to take their candi-
dacy seriously. Newport is not losing
any opportunities, however, and from
all indications will. get the grapes. tits
but just to them to say that their cam
paign has been remarkably orderly
and clean one, in spite of the fact that
| Newport prizes the county seat highly
and would hate to lose it. The agitat-
ing has been kept in the hands of few
capable men, strategic time chosen
for the presenting of their claims, and
these claims based upon meritorious
arguments of location, adequate facili-
ties, etc. There appears now, consid--
ering all the conditions in the camps of
their opponents and the proportion of
the vote of the county contained in their
own precinct, but little doubt but that
Newport will be the permanent county
seat unless something miraculous hap
pens right soon.
