We have just secured from Mr..
Sam M. Scott, who lives near Chester
field, basket to be given to farmer
friend for a Christmas present-but
our object in writing this is to say
that Mr.. Scott makes the best basket
we ever saw and does the best chair
bottoming and other chair repairing
for the least money. This is not a
paid advertisement--but we hope it
will help Mr.. Scott in his business.
Adam Joyner, of the old 9th district,
alias "0ld Tang" was here Tuesday
on his return from a visit to his
brother "Dick" at Beacon and a ia
nous bird hunt in that vicinity. He
got all the birds the law allows him
and turned over a large supply to his
brother "Mutt." Old Tang's luck as
a bird hunter shows that he has other
accomplishments not even remotely
connected with baseball or automo-
biles.

Druggist Will A. Lawler, one of our
most valuable business men, one who
has demonstrated the value of adver-
Using, has been recently handicapped
by i'll health but has been improving
for several days and will be able to
work in the Christmas trade for which
he has bought considerably. We
should and do appreciate such man
as Will LAWYER, who demonstrates all
the year that honest advertising is
not money thrown away-and this is
no advertisement.
