lynchings, no fights, no lailroads ac

New Material
To meet an unpreceden'ed demand
pon all 'departments, The Progress
has found it necessary to lay in sever
al hundred dollars'
material a*'d the same is now in tiau
sit and what is better, it lias all been
paid for.
This is one office that is able to dis
u
worm of new
count bills and is running about as
smoothly as it is possible for any
office, being able always to pay its
large foree off in the middle of the
week, three days ahead of the time
due, feeling that if tin force can car
1 V J the office three days the office, in
torn, can well afford to carry them
three.
This rule has been found to work
well and will be kept up. It is at
least an exception—no other office
having ever done this—and this is
what we like. >
The Trend »f Things
Yssterday was a field day in the
so)e of fine dress goods at the big I
store of W. W. Massengsle, no less I
than thirty-five oomplete Outfits being
sold in one day, and iu all other de
partments of the store the sales were
unusually large making it one of the
record-fareszers for which this stoie
is noted.
Mr. Massengale is a strong believer
in reciprocity and is always willing
to reciprocate the favors to his friends
by giving them just a little more for
their money than the oonld possibly
have expected before reaching hi<
place.
