The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1916-02-16

This is truly a season where it will
pay every one to buy early. Prices
on all classes of merchandise are rapid
ly advancing, and the supply seems
very scant. This is the case in Dry
Goods more than other lines.
Now, we were fortunate in purchas-
ing big lot of white goods ON the old
low market and we will celebrate by
offering them to our customers on
Georges birthday at old-time bargain
figures. Investigate and you will find
that this sale offers you rare oppor-
tunities for economy in supplying
yourself and family with all the sum-
mer needs. This is going to be big
sale and in order to add little life and
pep and fun we will try new
stunt.

Considerable mystery exists as to the
reason for the high prices offered. Mr.

learning that Grace & Co. were Offering
$4,000 Rothschiid & Co. wired an ex-
ira bid Of 500, 900. But as no certified
check accompanied the extra bid all bids
were thrown out and the contract was
readvertised.
Mr.. Daniels declared his afternoon
that he had made no inquiry as to the
business Of the bidders before making
the award to-day and does not know the
business OF Mr.. Busey.

In local shipping circles il was sad
