In Mr.. Rosa's large barn is high

system of belts operates practically

They excel all large breeds in the
quality of their meat. Their skin is
thin and tender and meat juicy, not
coarse with thick skin like other large

any other clean legged chicken rails

The White Orpingtons are noted for
their beauty in appearance that no
other chickens possess; their snow
white plumage, white beaks, white
feet and legs, white skin, bright red
combs and red eyes gives them that
gentle look that no other fowl pos

for their deep bodies and broad full
breasts; their long, straight breast
bone carrying almost as much white
meat as is found upon turkey They
are good mothers, but easy to break
from sitting; in a few days will be

gentle, never fly, easy to be confined
in yards, doing just as we'll as when
on free range; yet when they have
their liberty, they are splendid for
ayers, picking up most of their liv-
ing without disturbing growing crops.

the dreaded visit to the dentist. To the
ladies, this day means the opening

But then, after it's all over, the effect

Ihe openings in Laurens this wear
VIII be confined to two stores
Messrs. Davis-Roper Co., and Switzer
company. The buyers for both of
these concerns went north in the
early part Of the season and bought
as they usually do, the best lines of
hats and notions that the market can
anord for the prices which their cus
toners are willing to pay. 1t is a
well known fact that these two stores,
more SO than in the case Of millinery
stores in other cities of this size. have
buyers who are above the ordinary in
taste and good Judgment. For this
reason the ladies of Laurens have al
ways been able to afford the ncatest
ana newest hats and the most fash
lonable clothes and at the same time
not be forced TO pay such fabulous
prices, Being men of long experience
and wide acquaintanceship with Their
special lines, they have always met
the smart statesmen Of the northern
markets on an equal footing and have
consequently gotten the full benefit of
every trade.
DaVis-Roper Company have as their
head milliner this y.ar, Miss blanche
Smyth of Baltimore. Her assistants
are Miss Bessie Crews, Mrs Chalmers
Armstrong and Mrs. Thomas Downey.
All Of these ladies, with the exception
OF Miss Smyth, have been with this
company before and are we'll known
to all the people of the county. They
will be prepared to show everything
of the latest and newest patterns at
tomorrow's feast
Switzer Company has in charge of its
