 The home being complete.
 said Grandpa, we must now look to the furnishings for it. v
 Thereupon, Polly said she had heard so much of J. T. Greer < Sons furniture store that she desired to go there. One result was. they were ushered into such fine display that the girl was puzzled at first how to select but she soon yielded to the se- ductiveness of a magnificent parlor suit. bedroom Suiet in oak. golden finish. to these she added brass and iron beds. pie lures, and wall ornaments. rugs. mattings. linoleums, art squares paints. oils, wall paper. window curtains, she purchased a swell buffet, fancy rockers, davenport, kitchen cabinet, not forgetting an ornamental writing desk for hubby and an Ozark Refrig- orator for general use. coming to the conclusion that J. T. Greer & Sons prices were below the very whisper of competition especially the mail order compe tition.' -
 A pretty good start" said Grandpa, and now we will visit J. F. Maxey Hardware Co.'S. big hardware and stove store where Polly's house. wifely instincts will have full sway in the mar vels of kitchen apparatus There's not more comprehen- sive stock of cooking machinery in this section," said he. every possible piece of kitchen furni- ture from a tin dipper to a cook ing range is here in all styles and variety" and Polly was not long in selecting q Washington range for general use followed by New Perfection oil stove for the hot weather, she added a complete line of granite. enamel ware. tinware and Blue Grass tools and cutlery, and insisted on Charles working up an appe- tire on an ice cream freezer and 8 lawn mower which she pur- chased. Grandpa recommended the good old Oliver cultivator for the farm and on leaving all three declared they were sure treated right at J. F. Maxey Hardware Co-just as they treat everybody.
 One of the next things l want you to do and that right now said Grandpa, is to place a telephone in the home and when you can get such service. both local and long dis. tance as that furnished by the Home Telephone Go. you or any one of standing in the commun- ity have no excuse for not having one in the home. Don't ever get the habit of borrowing your neighbours phone. you lose time, friends and money by it. Some people use their neighbours phone 70 often that in short while they

 All this happened away down East, it wasn't long before there was a wedding not much longer before there came a letter from Polly's Foxy Grandpa. old Grandpa Turner, rich. generous. levelheaded and long q resident of Franklin county, who wrote etfusively of his delight al her exhibition of what he called grit and proposed if the young couple would locate at Ozark he would start them in life as a wedding gift. Of course they accepted and then were soon bidding their friends adieu. A few weeks subsequent to the above a travel stained party arrived in Ozark. our friend. Foxy Grandpa, took charge and led them straightway to the Haberer Hotel.
 After breakfast" remarked Foxy Grandpa. we will go out and buy your outfit and to expe- dite matters we will order a rig of Verne Mckinney, Prop of Ozark Livery and feed stables. Its an auto you want" said he and on it's arrival Polly viewing the stylish turnout with Q man at the wheel who knew how to run it. expressed his delight. This is one of the best outfitted in this vicinity and it's three S's. Speed Safety Style. are it's slo- gans and they know the roads. They do transfer business, run an auto truck for delivery, etc.. and look after MT. Drummer to ar. If you ever want to run to an off railroad town or on pleas ure bent be sure to go to Verne Mckinney for a rig.
 "One of the first things to look after said Grandpa as they entered the auto. lis the lumber necessary in building the house on those lots l gave you, 30 come with me and Pll intro duce you to Jno. T. Donnell, Prop. of Ozark Lumber Co. who are the principle dealers in that line here. He carries the most complete line of building mate rial in this section.

P. s. paints, oils, varnishes etc, He can also supply you with all kinds of in- terior decorations. grates. man. ties etc.. all at most reasonable figures.
 The necessary material being purchased, " added Grandpa, we must now figure with a reliable contractor to build the home and E. R. Protheroe is the man to figure with.

No one needing footwear or almost anything else to wear, can resist the styles and prices at Nichols & Wakefield's"
 We will now visit an estab- lishment where l know Polly will come often" said Grandpa and that's Mullen X Chancey's Confectionery, Jewelry and sweet tooth parlor. They are expert doctors on the sweet tooth, and their favorite pre- scriptions are Mueller-K eller's chocolates. bon-bons and cOnfec- tions in box and bulk. Their soda fountain is a model of neat ness. always kept so their cold drinks make good because they are made good. Their ice cream, sherbets ices etc. are the best. and served to you in one of the neatest parlors in this section. Charley can get his cigars and tobacco here, and then Grandpa presented Polly with a handsome time piece in their jewelrv de- partment They carry nice line of optical goods and have an expert doctor on sick watches here in the person of l. l.. Cole. He can diagnose any old case and make an old dyspeptic time piece look and act like new. Make Mullen & Chancey your headquarters every time.
 As you are going to keep a horse you will want a harness, said Grandpa. and the best horse milliner and mule jeweler in this section IS Elsey Harris. He is an expert workman and gives personal supervision to the minutest detail of manufacture. Made in Ozark is his slogan and should be yours. always in- sist on home products. You will ;! find here heavy and light. single and double. plain and fancy work and buggy harness he has 'em in stock and makes them to order, and his handmade har- ness is strictly in it. He also carries complete stock of sad dies. whips. dusters. fly nets. lap robes. bits. spurs, and the fla nous Banner buggies and run abouts, in fact, you can get here anything farmer or 8 gentleman horse owner could possibly desire. and at right prices. He also makes new the worn out shoe.

He also does all kinds of wagon and carriage. as well as general repairing in first class style at right prices and has the tools and wherewithall to do it with. and guarantees all of his work.

They will sell you bank draft. cheaper than any other way of sending money, more convenient. no red tape and absolutely safe. Guess I'll open an account with Arkansas Valley Bank at once. said Char les to Grandpa and he did.
 At this polnt somewhat to Charles confusion the old gent indulged in a halperious criticism of his personal appearance, You are decidedly off style for a townsman." said he, and we'd better step into Geo. w. Rus sells big clothing and furnish ing house. After Charles fitted himself out in Il neat late style business suit of Styleplus brand, Grandpa declared on donning same he would certainly look like a newly married man and us Arkansans can show you Yer monters how to tone up a bit. Having found such a large as- sortment of furnishings here at such low prices Charles in- vested in Beaver hat, a supply of Ferguson Mckinney shirts. triangle collars, ties. Cooper s underwear. Black Cat hosiery. etc. then inspected the Roberts
 Johnson < Rand Star Brand shoes. They are better and that's huff said about 'em. Both also selected several articles in tine jewelry department and all declared that goods were up to now and prices away down at Geo. w. Russells.
 "Halt!" commanded Foxy Grandpa as the party came in front of Blackburn Drug Co., s Rexall Drug Store. Walk right in" Why. Grandpa. we're not sick and" Guess I know that" laughed he, but I sus- pect it won't be long before this young man begins to take an interest in matters of paregoric and-G-r-a mp a.

Ira Hoff statter. the trouble chaser, is on his job too. "A Home tele- phone goes in the home" said Charles, and it went.
 Now. you cannot live OF love alone in that big house of yours. y said Grandpa. you must have something more substantial, so at the grocery Foxy Grandpa waXed philosophical. Never neglect your larder. said he. that important ajuct of house keeping controls masculine tenn per; to that end you must patro- nize a grocer on whom you can depend for honest goods. For sometime l have found c. l.. Arlington perfectly reliable.

" Polly here began to think serious [ ly of her household duties and remarked. Grandpa, l am not going to kill myself over the breadboard and hot oven so tell me of a good bakery. Here was a good chance to recommend Copsey & Milton's Sanitary Bak cry. They make the best bread on the market. fresh and first class daily. and their pies. cake. pastry, etc. are top notches. they also fill any special order promptly for weddings, birth days. banquets, or other func- tions. Cleanliness with the purest ingredients. are by. words here. so call for Sanitary Bakery products every time. It's about my lunch time" said Grandpa while here, and as you young folks must be hungry too. we will have them fix us up a neat lunch. " And any time for quick lunch, short orders, fish, oys- ters. etc. in season, always patronize Copey < Milton and get fat.
 While we are in this import ant topic of gastronOmics." con. tinued Foxy Grandpa, we mus, not forget meat. 1t goes hand in hand with bread, and my friends at Maytield Meat Market are the men to supply you with fresh pure and wholesome meat. lard. sausage, etc. If it's from May fields its good" " The reason for this IS because they buy the best of everything, and keep it fresh in cold storage. You will find packing house products here such as hams. bacon, etc. and they will always treat you right. So to keep your hubby in good humor, Polly, get your steaks and other good things to eat in the meat line at the Mayfeld Meat Market. "

All you have to do when wanting pure filtered gasoline is to swing your auto around to the Red Sentry in front of their store and they will do the rest. Corn bread, bnttermilk and turnip greens are my long suit," said Grandpa, and it's been an easy matter for me to get the turnip greens and buttermilk, but l had the hardest kind of time get ting the right kind of corn bread until l took my corn to w. c. Bill & Co.,"
 Now l know you young peo- pie have been pretty well work ed up over the wedding present l promised you," sad Grandpa but I'll now satisfy your curi- osity by making visit to Har- ley Russell at the Peoples Bank the Ford agent here and make you present of a swell 1916 model Ford touring car. 1 make this selection because l know the Ford is the practical car for this country. Personal knowledge is the winning factor in the eliminating contests of this competitive age." added he. and when of ample character it places it's fortunate possessors in the front ranks of the we'll informed. The knowledge of forms, the knowledge of func- tiOns and the knowledge of com. pOnent parts of the auto possess ed by the Ford people enables them to turn out a car that's winner. They like opposition. they defy competition, under no condition will they budge from the position of having the best car for the money in the United States or anywhere else. It is light, artistic, roomy, a hill climber and has the habit of going when you want it to. when you start anywhere you get there in it and it's low cost of up keep will make you Ford booster"
 Do you know there are many pieces of property encountered by a mortgage. long paid of. but not cancelled of record cloud ing title right here in Franklin county" said Grandpa. Now l don't want your property to be in that shape, so we will call at w. w. Adams X Sons abstract office and have them to make outs complete abstract of title to your lands. They have the only com plete set of abstract books of the county and when they make out an abstract you can rest assured it is to be done right and with out defect. It is better to b safe than sorry and you will be on the safe side always if w. w. Adams & Son make your abstract of title.
 There's an old saying that the clothes don't make the man." said Grandpa. Now. they may not, but they help and when they are swell togs such as K. l.. Hancock turns out at the Fash ion Shop" they help nightly. His clothes have that snap to 'em that makes a man who
 
 wears them feel that he is well dressed and then he has fine line of new spring and summer samples to select from. He guarantees you fit and is here on the ground to make good. He does all kinds of cleaning. pressing (the kind that stays creased). altering. repairing. dying. re- blocking of hats and ladies work does things right and at right prices. "A swell Sunday suit for me at k. l.. Hancock's Fashion Shop" said Charles-and he got it.
