TIIF dainty little woman who nttert d tliis cr nij-liment simply expressed the sentiments of the numberless
women who have profited by the opportunity we present in this annual event to save money and obtain
the best in white goods. It is difficult to see how anyone could be anything but pleased. There is pleasure
in the mere inspection of the big assortments systematically arranged for your approval; and a real and
unbounded joy in the knowledge that these things may be had for a sum that seems trifling in comparison
with the quality.
This is an opportunity to purchase white goods at matchless reductions that will not be duplicated for
another year. Come today.

No Politics in this Weather.
Yesterday at 1 p. m. the spirit
thermometers, one in front of George
(.ay's store, and another in front of
Jack Becks' office rested serenely at
the same notch. It was 102 decrees
above zero. We speak of zero be
cause it has a cooling sensation.
Gay is the Putnam caunty State
committeeman of the republican par-
Becks is the Democratic member
elect of the State Executive Commit
tee of his party.
Hence we say there was no politics
in this weather.
On Wednesday at about the same
hour these thermometers registered
just a little shade above 98 (leg. It
wasn't so hot.
But there was relief in sight yes
terday; a baseball prame was on the
tapis for 3:M0, and there were clouds
and a little breeze, harbingers of rain
and thunder:
Hut I'alatka wasn't alone in this
heat wave. The Florida Times-Union,
anti-admiiiistration.published in a city
that never before had a hot day in
summer nor a cold day in winter, ac
knowledged that it was slightly warm
in that city with the mercury at i)i
deg. Fahrenheit. That was a great
and humiliating admission, but the
Times-Union extracted some comfort
from the fact that reports indicated
that it was some hotter in Savannah
and Sahara.
