TO THE PEOPLE OF HARDEMAN AND ADJOINING COUNTIES: On former occasions we have given many attractive sales, but we will inaugurate a "Loom End" sale commencing at 9 o'clock on Saturday morning June 27th, continuing 60 days, that will eclipse anything in the Dry Goods history of Bolivar. The little clearance sales and the slight reduction made in prices by other merchants, pale into insignificance when compared to our great "Loom End" sale. For the benefit of those who do not understand what a "Loom End" sale means, we will state that every factory and mill in the manufacture of their products accumulate "Loom Ends" or "Mill Ends" as they are sometimes called. They are short ends from one-half yard to ten yards in length. These are laid aside and tied up in great bundles, and are disposed of to large retailers at very low prices. We were for tunate in securing a number of cases of these remnants at ridiculously low prices. Those who are familiar with "Loom End" sales know and appreciate the meaning extraordinary bargains. In addition to these unheard-of bargains, we have made a sweeping reduction of twenty-five per cent, in the price of every article in stock. We are- determined that this sale shall be a record-breaker. You will no doubt be surprised at the goods and prices. We are sorry for our competitors, who can't touclvour values,, but we congratulate our customers, who will reap the benefits. It is useless to consume space in dwelling upon these bargains. Figures talk, and below we quote you prices which will knock the props from under high priced merchants. Remember, these are some of our special values everything in the house has been reduced in price, whether mentioned in this advertisement or noU OTHER JPGA j 500 yards Embroideries, i f prices reduced one-half. g 20 Rolls of Matting at g actual cost. is 500 pair fine Slippers, patent leather and vici, close at cost. 5 s 500 pair Duchess Trous ers ereat reduction.

The committee appointed by the president of the Hardeman County Teachers' Association to select a course of reading for the teachers of the county, met at the home of Mrs. Eloise Miller Thursday night of last .week. They decided that each and every teacher in the county be urged to join the class as it is de signed to be a course of free in struction in such subjects as the ex aminations have proven them to be deficient. "Page's Theory and Practice in Teaching" was decided upon as the most necessary to begin this work. Each teacher who de sires to take this work may' do so by securing a copy of the book for themselves. When this book has been finished an examination will be held and all who make the necessary grades will be given permanent grades on their certifi cates so long as they continue in the reading course. This is a fine plan to raise the standard of our teachers and should be taken ad vantage of and encouraged by teach ers and friends of education. There will be no expense except the price of the book. Unveiling Ceremonies. Bolivar Camp No. 3G, Woodmen of the World, unveiled a handsome monument in Union Cemetery Suu day afternoon, erected to the memo ry of the late. Julius Crawford.

The poem, 'Why Should the Spirit of Mortal be Proud?", was recited gracefully aud impressively by Miss Pearl Savage. Sovereign J. A. Foster delivered the address and his re marks were appropriate. He re ferred feelingly to the many virtues of the deceased, who was one of most active members of the Camp, whose numerous- deeds of charity and kindness will ever be cherished andwhose honorable, upright life is well worthy of emulation. Quite a number of handsome floral offerings were placed upon the grave. The monument is made of the finest Georgia nurble, is six and one-half feet high, represents the trunk of a broken tree and bears the following inscription: Erected by the Woodmen of the World.

Prophets of evil, who predicted calamity for the town when the sale of whisky was stopped, are not in evidence now. The town has not been hurt but has been benefited. Money that was spent for whiskey by those who could ill-afford to spend it is now spent to benefit wives and children. Men who never came to town on public days and went home sober, now come and re turn to their families sober and hap py. The frequent broils and fights that went to make up "first Mon day"are now things of-the pa9t. Three months without saloo.is in Trenton is enough to convince the most skeptical that the open saloon is a curse to any community. Tren ton Herald-Democrat. STRAYED.
