f |S A TRITE OLI) SAW, and it was never more true than at the present time, when money is scarce, cotton
’t 1 is low, and every man, woman and child is being forced to practice economy and save the nickels and
dimes by close purchases. In this connection I wish to announce to the public that I have purchased Sol
% Lewis’ entire stock, consisting of Fine Boots and Shoes, Hats and Caps, Dry Goods, Dress Goods, Notions
; Ladies’ and Gents' Furnishings, etc., etc., at a discount, and having leased the Kollwage buildings, fronting
f both on Front street, (Sol.’s old stand) and Washington street, (Miley’s old stand) I will add to this stock a
r complete line of General Merchandise and do
: A GENERAL FURNISHING AND SUPPLY BUSINESS.
t ' '
If you want supplies to run your family, or
your croppers this year, come and see me. I will
treat you square, and sell you what* goods you
require at the best figures you ever heard of.
I want to do a good share of the furnishing
business of; this county, and am determined to do
it., \ will make it to your interest to talk about it
with me. .
' •' «' '
My line of supplies is fresh, and the variety
large. Prices will be in accordance with the times.

There Are Two Ways to Buy!
And that is for Cash atid in large quantities.
When a merchant buys for Cash, he gets a dis
count ; when lie buys In big lots he gets the
goods from 5 to 20 per cent, cheaper. That's the
way I buy, and by so doing I am able to sell the
best goods for tile least money. Let me save
you that 5 to 20 per cent. I watch the markets
and keep tab on the dirtcounf^and thereby get
the best goods for the least money. Thus I am
dble to meet any find all competition, and givb
you highest value for your money.

Sweet Charity.
A woman of good appearance, retired
and modest, with three small children,
were objects, of pity, and sympathy in
this town Saturday. The woman had
come from Alabama seeking her
brother who, she had heard. >vas living
in or near Palestine.She had spent all
the money she possessed, had failed to
find her brother, and was in destitute
circumstances, and almost crazed with
the uncertainty of her future. The at
tention of Judge Cowan was called to
the case, as it w as thought she could
be Sent to the poor house. But upon
investigation it was plain that under
the law she could not be declared a
pauper, so the Judge and Squire ltaiford
set about to put tier in the way of
earning a living. In the meantime she
had concluded to return to Alabama,
though she declared she could make
only 30 cents per diem by the hardest
kind pf labor in that section. She
w as assured that it would be hotter to
wait awhile, and a place was found for
her, where she could be comfortable
and earn a living.
She had scarcely dried her eyes,
which were filled w ith tears of joy and
•thankfulness, .when the train upon
which she had intended to ret inn to
Alabama arrived, and it brought Ab
ner Davidson, of Monroe county. He
is the brother, and it was a happy
meeting. He thanked those who had
been so kind to his sister, and inform
ea mem that lie was able to give her
and the children a good home and take
care of them. They left on the next
train and all were happy.
In epeaking of the matter. Judge
Cowan remarked- -It did my heart
good to see the relief w hieh w as shown
in the poor woman’s countenance.”
And this is true of every heart which
in charity relieves the distresses of
mankind. Charity is sweet.
The Coming Woman
Who goes to the club w hile her hus
band tends the baby, as well as the
good old-fashioned woman who looks
after her home, w ill both at times get
run down in health. They will be
troubled with loss of appetite, head
aches, sleeplessness, fainting or di'7y
spells. The most wonderful remedv !
for these women is Electric Hitters.
Thousands of sufferers from lame
back, and weak kidneys tise np and
call it blessel. It is the medicine for
women. Female complaints and nerv
ous troubles of all kinds are soon re
lieved by the us- of Electric Hitters-.
Delicate w< men should keep this rem- j
edy on hand to build up ihe system.

It is said to entertain properly is an
art. The easy conversation, the merry
laughter, the quickly passing of time,
and the appreciation of the palatable

gree of perfection as host and hostess,
at the entertainment given at their
residence last Tuesday night.
Progressive euchre—nine tables—was
indulged in, and so quickly did time
fly that it was with regret, when in the
waning hours the guests bid good
night to the host and hostess.
