Necessity Is Not The Only Reason
for this Sacrifice Sale, as others
claim when they make one. We
are making this sale for the sole
benefit of our numerous friends and customers
and for all the shopping public in genera, whom
we think need the change. Turn about is fair
play Our friends and customers are forced
to accept any old price for their cotton and
produce, hence we will do our part and give
you a chance to make up your great loss by
making your dollars do full duty for you.

AN ODD FASHION FANCY.

By some odd fancy Of Fashion it is
not considered smart tas.S to have any
of the sash ribbon repeated on the neck
or sleeves. The idea seems to be that
there can be too much Of good thing,
even when the latter is exquisite In
fabric and design. Moreover, the one
spot or splash of color on a dress OF
monotone fabric is apt to be spoiled by
the attempt to introduce IT on othes
parts of the gown, as additional color
distract the eye.

APPLICATIONS FOR TOBACCO
SEED.
Chamber of Commerce Will Distribute
Seed for Any Business House, if De-
sired.

Several applications have been made
to the Chamber of Commerce for to-
bacco seed for the 1916 crop.
A few pounds of seed were left over
from the last free distribution by
Pepper and Marion, lessees of the to-
bacco warehouse, during 1914 and
1915.
Who will furnish free seed for the
next crop has not been ascertained as
yet. There is an opening for any
bank or other business establishment
to distribute seed either from their
own establishment, or through the
Chamber Of Commerce.
There is no particular advantage in
having the seed distributed through
the commercial organization says Sec
retary Reardon, except that the sec
retary keeps a record of every one ap-
plying for seed, the name, race, num-
ber of acres proposed to be planted,
township, county, postoffice or r. F..
d. number, whether on planters own
place or renter, and on whose planta-
ton renter lives, kind of seed planted
etc.
This record is Of value to the grow
ers, and also to the tobacco ware
house lessees who send men around
among the tobacco growers every
summer to show them how to harvest
and cure tobacco. The record assists
those tobacco growers who are not
acquainted with tobacco culture and
curing. The Chamber of Commerce
mails out department of agriculture
tobacco culture bulletins from this
record which bulletin service gives a
lot of information to tobacco planters
Should any bank or other business
establishment wish to distribute seed
through the Chamber of Commerce
this organization will look after the
distribution, and allow the business
esta biishment furnishing the seed to
furnish envelopes for the seed will,
the name Of and any other advertise
ment the firm or bank desires to
print on the envelopes with the state
ment that the firm is furnishing the
seed.
