the coming winter?
L. H. Stoner is in a black business
but he treats his customers white. He
is giving you a warning to purchase
your coal now. He is not seeking
the coal business, as he has plenty.
He is not advertising merely notify

boosting this Greenwood Coal and Gin
Company as Lawrence" doesn't like
my wit and rumor column and we
don't blame him a bit. He thinks
the readers like short love stories be-
cause the unmarried persons read
them to weep over, married folks read
them to laugh at, and, as everybody is
more or less married, a love column
would have a bigger audience.
NJ. w. Coward, of edwards Bak-
cry, said Il have nothing in my place
but what l would eat myself" and
when calling on Mr.. Coward ,one of
the best fellows in your city, I read
this sign at his desk: "The chairs in
this market are for ladies'; gentlemen
are requested not to make use of them
until the ladies are seated" You folks
didn't know he was so accommodate

John Dahmer, proprietor of the
Dahmer Bakery, is now before you,
if you know John, you know a man
that is alive, progressive and willing
at any and all times to get and do
his share of hard work for his friends
or city. He went up to Memphis the
other night and met a few of his old

We think the reason why there are
so many old maids is because a real
smart woman wont give a $40 job for

excuse to give his wife for being home
so early.
Gee, but Quincy Snedeker who is a
member of the Greenwood Remodel
ing Co. ,on Carrollton Ave-, is a busy
man, I'll admit, and we're for him..
| At times he's so busy he can't hear
the fire department pass his place,
but just rustic a silk skirt on the
street and watch him wake up.
H. F. Schaffel, of the Common
wealth Garage. is an extra, out-of-
the-ordinary good person, and one of
my friends says when he died he is
going to take all his silver with him.
Mr. Schaffel, being a good soul, we
advise him not to, as where he might
go, it might melt.

young lady who was in this place of
business to buy some chocolate chop
