COLLECTING All American athletic
y teams is a favorite American pas
time, and I have been asked to join it by
giving my choice OF men for an ALI
American amateur golf team. The as
sumption is that l am expected TO Judge
on the record OF 1917, but that is iinpos-
sible unless one uses exhibition ked
Cross matches as a basis, for tournament
golf in the ordinary sense of the word
was almost nonexistent. so many leading
young players either being iE the army
or prepar ring to CO. Early in the spring
the southern championship was played
al birmingham, Ala, the western cham
pionship coming later in the season and
less representative than usual On that
account, and the western open, more
largely professional than usual-not an
amateur being in the first twenty-five
comprised the whole of the large tourna-
ments. / shall try, therefore, TO let my
choice be governed by past performances,
Red Cross matches this year and gem

a decided change in the personnel of the
game. Perhaps that is all the more rea-
son why the great amateurs should be
written about now. Many young players

when tournaments are resumed, and of
course the sustaining golfers, those over
thirty-one. will play more than ever.

To our Patrons and the
 Public

A few weeks ago announced that we had sold our stock of Staple and Family Groceries, together with our Livestock and Food Supply, to parties who had negotiated to purchase and occupy the same building where business is located
 It was bona fde sale on our part. and we had planned for other business but at the last moment the buyers backed out and took another stock
 In consequence, continuing our grocery and feed house at the place. We regret the failure to carry through the deal, but il was not any fault of ours and had desire leave the impression that the reported sale might be simply for purpose of n ducng large purchases from our store by patrons who have always favored us with their liberal trade
 As the stock and business remain with us we will be compelled to continue at our well known stand and we ask the same confidence from the public which has always been shown toward us Our Service and Oual ity will be maintained
