GOING TO LOS ANGELEs7

Visitors to Los Angeles this
summer should bear in mind the
service afforded by the Hotel
Northern on End street near Hill.
Last summer a large number of
persons from this vicinity stopped
at the Hotel Northern and will
return again this year.

located in the center of the bust

meets all trains at the Southern
Pacific depot and transfers your
baggage right to your room.
You can't go wrong by stopping
at the Hotel Northern.

TO OUR CUSTOMERS

Elsewhere in this issue of the
Liberal we are giving notice of
the discontinuance of long term
accounts. We deem it necessary
to take this step on account of
the high cost of all merchandise
at the present time and of the
fact that numerous persons have
taken advantage of the privilege
allowed which sometimes causes
us the loss of large accounts.
In this new arrangement we
hope to give you better service
and by it can afford to sell our
goods at a smaller margin of
profit.

To Our Customers:

10 OuF OuSLOmefSs
In conducting the mercantile bust
ness there are probably a great many
points not usually taken into consid-
GRAFTON by those not in the business
and among the most important of
these is that of whether TO do .
credit or cash business.
Our method has always been to
buy in large quantities for spot cash
and to sell the most goods for the
least money, with the very maximum
of good service. How well we have
lived up to that motto we leave to
the judgment of our customers.
There is no one infallible and that we
have made mistakes we admit, but
that our motto was a wise one is at.
tested. to by the very liberal patron.
age we have enjoyed.
We are justly proud of our bust
ness, proud of our store, and glad
we have had the good fortune in be-
ing located in as good town as Lords
burg. Very few towns are as good
when everything is taken into con.
sideration; few towns enjoy the
high class patronage that Lords
burg does, and we contend that no
where are people more honest and
reliable than ours; no more worthy
of credit. We have taken that into
consideration and have looked at the
credit feature of our business from
every angle, and after careful con.
sideration we have come to the con-
clusion that in justice to our patrons
aud ourselves, we should do a strict
ly 30-day business, which is equiva-
lent to cash.
In making this change we are not
questioning the honesty or ability to
pay of our patrons, but do it to en-
able us to meet any legitimate COM
petition, and to allow us to ave our
customers the difference between the
price of goods sold for cash and those
sold for credit. Therefore, on and
after June LIST this store will sell
strictly on a 3O-day basis, that is.
goods purchased during the month
will be due and payable on or before
the 10th Of the month following. No
~ravorites will be played; we will en-
deavor to treat all exactly alike, and
to sell you goods for less money than
heretofore, whenever that may be
possible.
In conclusion, we wish to thank you
for the time spent in reading This
and to express our heartiest appreci-
alton of your past, and we hope
future, patronage.
Hoping to have the pleasure Of a
visit from you, and again thanking
you, we are,
Yours truly,

Proper Food for Weak stomachs.

The proper food for n man may
be all wrong for another. Every one
should adopt a diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. 1t
is also important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they become
constipated or when they feel dull
and stupid after eating, they should
take Chamberlain's Tablets to
strengthen the stomach and move the
bowels. They are easy to take and
pleasant in effect. For sale by The

PRESBYTERIANS ARE LOYAL.

A special from Philadelphia says
"The board of education of the Pres
byterian church has taken action ask
ing ministerial candidates to waive
exemption for military service, be-
lieving it neither wise nor patriotic
to take advantage of the ex-
emption provisions Although the
army bill exempts' theological or di-
viaity students who have actually en-
tered upon their course from the
draft, the board recommends that un-
less they are compelled to seek ex-
emptions under some other plovi-
sions of the act they waive exemp-
ton relating to their calling as fH-
ture ministers of the gospel"

A PRAYER FOR THE BOYS IN
KHAKI.

May we add our prayer to that of
the president in behalf of the noble
young men who are about to go forth
to serve their country as exemplars
of true American manhood? May the
great God who keepeth account of
even the little sparrows watch over
them and guide and sustain them in
their undertakings and may they,
ever mindful of that watchful Eye,
strive to walk uprightly and do battle
manfully for their right to the end
that the peoples of nations oppressed
may look upon them as real leaders,
men who guide the way and who put
their trust in the God of love, and
may they return safely to those who,
forcing back their tears, smile their
adieus and bid them Godspeed. God
be with you.-Fort Myers Press.

THE "SELECT MEN" IN SUMTER
HIGHLY HONORED.

Wednesday was a memorable day
for many in Sumter county. 1t was
the day the Sumter Selects" left
for the training camp. We like the
name of ts'-"picked, or
chosen ones" Thirteen fine, manly
looking boys of Sumter county de-
parted on the limited at three
O'Clock, for Camp Jackson at Co.
lumbia. Many people turned out 10
bid the boys adieu and to wish Them
the best fortune possible The Bush
nell school turned out in full force,
and the girls presented each boy with
a bouquet, the flowers OF memory
will linger with them no douOt. long
after the pretty blossoms have faded.
Many came over from Center Hill
in the county to see them off. The
Center Hill band was on hand to
make music and take little of the
sorrow off the edge of parting. The
Sumter county boys will be in the
engineering corps, and we are sure
they will all acquit themselves with
credit and honor to themselves and
their homes. Not one of these boys
protested against his lot, but each
willingly and cheerfully enters upon
his duties, and if the whole army Of
the United States is made up of such
material as Sumter has furnished IN
this lot and others who have already
gone, there is no question as TO the
ultimate end of the war. bushnell

BIG TIMES PROPHESlED FOR
FLORIDA THIS WINTER.

Willis Powell predicts more than
the usual number of tourists for Flor
ida the approaching winter. Among
other things he says:
The United States is over-bur-
dened with money. The per capita is
$23 a head more than this period
last year, and almost three times
greater than normal for many years
back. There is abost $50 coming 10
every man, woman and child, black
and white, and yellow and brown, in
the United States. Factories are
working overtime with orders far
ahead The farms are rich with the
greatest crops in the history of the
states. Merchants, regardless of high
prices, are busy.
People are war-weary. Some tell
me that they came to the mountains
to get away from the war talk, and
Red Cross enthusiasm, and all that.
They wanted to rest up from the gi-
gantic struggle in their home town
to keep up with the demands made
upon their purse and their energy and
their time. They are not disloyal.
When they go back they will be ready
to start over with new energy and do
better and more efficient work as
their minds will be clearer and their
nerves not unstrung.
$50, in Florida, we will find tens
of thousands who will come there
who have never came before, to re-
cuperate from the strenuous times in
their own hometown, where no
doubt they are factors in everything
of the nature of civic work. Leaders,
maybe, in Red Cross and leaders in
liberty loan money-raising, and in
Quitting home guards. and all that.
Then again, there will be tens OF
thousands come to do as they al
ways did-play golf and motor, and
fish and enjoy themselves in the ma
tion's playground.
"Then there will be thousands OF
the aged who must seek warm, rest
full climate, where Nature is kinder
TO them than in the north.
Then there will be about one hun
dred thousand who will come to knit
sweaters. 1t is am obsession. There
will be more yarn strung than was
ever strung by the fishermen in Flor
ida waters.
Prepare for the coming legions."

AN oFFlccER's RANK.

You can tell the rank of an Amer
ican officer by knowing that:
A first lieutenant has an epaulet
te with one white bar.
A second lieutenant has an epaulet
,ste with no bar.
A captain has an epaulette with
two white bars.
A major has an epaulette with a
gold maple leaf thereon.
A lieutenant-colonel has an epau-
lette with silver maple leaf.
A solonel has an epaulette with a
silver spread eagle thereon.
A brigadier general has an epau-
lette with one silver star.
A major-general has an epaulette
with two silver stars.
A lieutenant general has an epau-
Iette with three silver stars.
A general is exceedingly rare. Thus
Tar in our history there have been
only two. They were Washington and

TO UNCLE PETER STANLEY.

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
Your correspondent, Peter Stanley,
among other things so patent that
they need not be enumerated, is con-
sistently inconsistent, if you will per-
NIT the paradox. He says that po-
litical controversy through the press
at this juncture is very much out of
place, an injustice to the reading
public and an invasion of the per-
sonal rights of operators of news
papers, and demonstrates the truth
of it by taking more than a column
and half of space, inflicting on the
public a tumble of words, phrases
and sentences irrelevant, meaning
less and tiresome The writer is
holding no political office, therefore
Trust the Cattsites will not feel
called upon to have the governor re-
move any county official on account
this mis- or malfeasance on my part.
My only idea of noticing anything
he said, was to combat tho sugges-
ton in his first article of having the
democratic party adopt governor
Cats. I was not then aware of the
fact that he could not distinguish be-
tween people and party. / never sus-
pected that l would call down all
this screed from Abraham Lincoln to
the red light district, this preach
ment about money, wine and women.
q am thankful he overlooked Rum

to the spirit of Christ in Cats.
Thus innocently have l caused the

waste of nearly two columns of your
space, and the grievance your read
ers have against you, for which
humbly apologize.
