A. A. GRIMES NEW STORE
OPENED FRIDAY
Room Formerly Occupied by
Lexington Mercantile Com
pany Has Been Re-
modelled.

The A. A. Grimes Company
5-10-25 cent store which started
out in a small way in a small
room on Main street several
years ago, and has outgrown a
larger room, has moved in the
building formerly occupied by
the Lexington Mercantile Com
pany. Friday afternoon and ev-
ening the company held a
formal opening of the store.
From 3 to 5 and 7 to 10 there
was music, and souvenirs were
given to all the women and
children who visited the store.
On Saturday morning at 900
o'clock the store was opened
for business. In addition to the
regular $40 and % cent lines
there will be SOC and $1.00 de-
partments, which will add very
materially to their volume of
business and attract a greater
patronage.
Everyone was invited to at
tend their formal opening, and
to become patrons, not only as
buyers, but of the accommoda-
tions which they have provided
for the general public.

Athletics 3; Elliott Arms 5.
The Elliott Arms baseball
team may thank their lucky
stars that they found the Ath-
letics Sunday in the dumps.
Hale pitched his usual good
game. He allowed five hits, pass
ed one, and struck out thirteen.
But, to offset this good work,
the boys were guilty of making
ten large and juicy errors-e-
nough to defeat Matty when he
was going at his best. But, then,
off days will come to everybody,
so don't censure the Athletics
| for having one once in a while.

Don't Buy From Peddlers.

A man driving a big yellow
car has been peddling soap thru
the country which not only re-
moves dirt but the skin as well,
and causes scars wherever it
and causes sores wherever it
touches the body. The soap is
mighty poor stuff, being short
of fat the lye has full opportu-
nifty to blister.
