Jefferson Davis and Gen. Stonewall Jackson, heroes of the southern Confederacy, soon will be outlined on the blank face of Stone Mountain near Atlanta as an everlasting memorial of the lost cause. Work of installing a huge projecting lamp, something new in the world of science, at the foot of the mountain now is being completed, and when the Georgia Railway and Power company extends its power lines from the end of the street car lire to the mountain. Mr. Borglum intends to come to Atlanta and attempt to fasten ^he likenesses of the Confederate leaders on the side of the great ni t? of granite.

On low grade cotton sold by the North Carolina Cotton Association for the same period an average of 26.25 cents was received. Davids< ISSUED EVERY NOW AND Tf HOPE IT WILL PLEASE AND Boone, T One Price ur rule is not : > deal with a store or wholesale house which has not one price. VV e do not mind paying the price when we are positive that everyone else wai have to pay the same. A business like this cannot overcharge and succeed. Someone .-ooner or later will find it out and its reputation will be i"^t. We ar afraid to buy from those houses where you "buy at your own price." where the merchant tries to get as much as he po.-.-i >' can and the custom*, r to ray as lit tit- a.T he po ?. \ an. The i fact is the iu:, : - always at a disadvantage becau.-e the merchant knows how low he can se?s a . *he customer does not w that.

We don't wa: . you to misunderstand us and think that we hate to come down because we want to make a bigger profit..The fact, is that we can make more profit by not having one price.

Willie Knew The Superintendent of the Sunday School was also the village doctor. One Sun- i day he was questioning the school on various important points. "Willie," he asked a small boy, "will you tell me what we must do in order to get to heaven?" "We must die," repiied Wime. "Very true," assented the doctor. "But tell what we must do before we die." "We must get sick," was Willie's unexpected answer, "and send for you."

We will publish a price list about once every month.. . . . Read them carefully and remember the prices are the same for each and every cue tmer. The only exception we will make is to retail merchants who will buy in large quantities. There is a Reason For It "You know Jim." said the wife to her husband, looking in a newspaper. "1 am read ing in the paper that 80 per cent of the men in jails are unmarried." "That shows," answered the hushand, "that men had better go to jail than to get married."

W * have to pay 14 1-2 c-nts for the sheeting we bought six months ago for 9 1-2. overails for which we paid last year $13.50 to $t5G0 per dozen arc now $20.00 to $22 per dozen, and so with ot' er items. 1 he prices are still climbirg.

Prices Read our pried list for the next 30 days carefully. Remember it is impossible to quote here prices on every article in our store. We are quoting lust enough prices to show you that notwithstanding the big jump in prices, the most of our prices are not advanced and some items are priced even lower than last year. Castor Oil Sometimes my dinner tastes so good 1 eat a bit more than I should And then I have to spoil The flavor of the pies and cakes And other things my mother makes By taking Castor Oil. Show me the man that makes that stuff, I sure would treat that scoundrel rough? I'd roll him in the soil; And while I had him off his toes, I'd have my mother hold his nose, Amu feed him Castor Oil.
