seryiceable for Christmas remembrances, and
ssnec,aily of servceable qualities.
While we provided largely, it has been very
carefully done.

for the money paid for it.
In almost every case, prices are lower than
last wear. We do not say everything, but
wherever it is possible to have lower prices, the
public may be sure that they are so adjusted:
We are aiming at lower basis of costs in all
our purchases that we may be able to make
lower selling prices.
There are no urgencies here to any one to

hats or hodge-podge inducements to make
people come in with hope of selling them
something when they come.
This Store is first for its patrons and
afterward for its owners. BY mutual
cooperation it improves somewhere every day.

This new angle Of the Conercssman's

Congressman used exactly the Ian

cordance with the wish Of Confederate
Veterans. Anxious to participate in the

park comprises about twenty two
acres. The town Of Fairview gains it's
name from one Of the most beautiful

committee of Daughters and Confed-
crate Veterans. organized every county
in the state to complete the shaft.
