Goods that you will be wanting dur.
ing this next year. This will be big
silk season. These you can buy now
at a large saving.
There is no longer any speculation
as to what the market win be NEXT
fall on all kinds of Wool Goods. We
are now taking in goods for nsxt fall
at larger prices than you are nayirg
us to-day.
Blankets for next fall will make
you hesitate. They will be more than
double of last fall. You can make
your Blanket purchases from what
we have at sale prices.
You may ask why we are selling
these goods SO cheaply now. The
truth Is, this sale was started before
full developments of next fall prices
were announced. So now we are buy
ing to protect ourselves against this
sale, that we close this week.
Merchants in other towns are not
holding their annual sales as in other
years. They don't care to make the
sacrifice.

GET A JOE

For a great many years we have
seen people walking the streets
from month to month, doing moth
ing whatever, and when these men
are asked why they do not 90 to
work the reply invariably is they
can not find a job. No such ex,
cuse is valid at the present time,
if a person knows how to do any
thing useful. Everybody can not
be furnished the position of bank
president or general manager of a
railroad, but the newspapers are
constantly filled with advertise
ments calling for men to do work
that almost any man should know
how to do or be able to do in a
short time. This is no time for
idlers, and those who initiate the
lilies of the field and toll not,
should be made to get a COB of
some sort, whether or not they
have money to live independently
of work. The country needs the
services of every able bodied man
and woman. Wages are high at
the present time, and while the
cost of living is also high, each in
dividual should do something to
make himself self-supporting and
not be leaning on others and eat
ing bread from the sweat of some
body else's brow. News Scimitar.

Austrians are tired and war weary,
with Disturbances at home. all of
which will have its effect on the
morale Of the army and prevent as
vigorous lighting as they might
do under more favorable condi-
tons.
Many conflicting reports come
from Russia. Russia is hard to
understand. There is an element
there that wants to get back into
the fight.for freedom, but it is not
strong enougrto overcome the OPP.
position. Internal disturbances if
not real revolutions IS about all
that can be safely looked for from
Russia.
Big preparation is in progress
ia the United States. Large num-
bers of soldiers and much muni-
tions Of warfare are being sent
across and landed safely on the
other side Of the big pond. A
great number of ships have been
completed and launched this week
as Fourth of July feat.
Congress has just made the big
gest appropriation to meet war ex-
penses that was ever made IN the
history OF the world, and the peo-
pie are pouring money into the
government through the sale Of
war savings stamps, Boys are
going to camps for training and
everything seems to be moving
along satisfactorily at home.

FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1918
BIG ROAD MOVE

The Carroll county court and
Carroll county are to be congratu-
lated upon the progressive step
taken by the quarterly courtlast
Monday.
AS a result Of this action two
highways, will be constructed
through the entire county. The
Memphs-to- highway ex-
tending from east to west and the
highway from Henry county to
Henderson county will be built
under the direction of the state
road commission andby the help
of the state and federal govern
ments.
The court ordered the issuance
of $4,000 in bonds which sum is
to be augmented by a like sum
from the state and federal govern
ments, which will give $4,000
to be placed uDon these highways.
This amount should construct two
fine roads.
We understand it canuot be told
when the work will be commenced.
The federal aud state funds are
available at any time and it should
not take the county long to make
its amount available. But labor
conditions are such that it may not
be practicable to do the work I'M
der the present war conditions.
The state commission are rejecting
proposals for road construction on
account of the high cost of con-
structlon. However, the first step
has been taken, the money will be
on hand and the roads will be built
when satisfactory contracts can be
made.
1t is safe to say that the govern
ment will not be hurried into con-
tracts that will not insure eco ION.
ical and satisfactory road construc-
ton.
Time, in our opinion, will prove
Mondays work to be great and
progressive step for Carroll county.
