THURSDAY. March 1, 1906.
It is understood that Deputy
Marshal Jo a Millikan, the wag of
the Federal building, wishes it dis
tinctly understood that if, as is
currently predicted, the next repub
lican state convention is to be held
in the penitentiary, he is in uo sense
a candidate for the place of delegate
and that if chosen he will positively
refuse to serve. Greensboro Tele
gram. To Advertiser.
The Courier has spent large
sums of money in working up its
circulation and to-ilay it thoroughly
covers Randolph and adjoining
counties besides having a large list
throughout this and other states.
But we are working to build up
Randolph county and the Piedmont
section of North Carolina.
To this end we have built our
circulation, that our advertisers and
the community might secure the
greater publicity. We improved
our plant and enlarged xut paper
all of which necessarily increEBM
expenses.
Hence this article notifying cur
advertisers that after March let,
1906, the advertising rate is as iol
low8: Per inch one time 25c
" " month 20c
" " two months 17c
" " three " and over 15c
Reading notices will be charged
at the rate of one cent per word.
All bills payable monthly.
Our circulation is not made up of
dead heads and exchanges, but pay
ing subscribers, who send us the
cash for their subscription. Few
are more than six months in arrears
and many are paid in advance.
This shows that we circulate among
a prosperous people the class that
advertisers desire to reach.
The Courier appreciates the pa
tronage accorded it in the past and
nledges every effort, to give value i
received for future busines placed '
with us.

I am so worn and weary with this life;
Take, thou, my shield.
Defeat is better than unending strife;
Come, thou, I yield.
Victorious wreaths, upon your panting breast
You may unroll;
For me, the vanquissd, life hath lost its zest,
And seeks no goal
But, hold! I shall net so in battle fail.
Once more the helm
I firmly grasp and furl defiant sail!
Unto that realm
Where heroes bide I point my vessel's prow;
And though I fall
Before I win the coast, I yield not now,
Nor yield at all!

The Remnant Sale recently advertised in these columns
was a greater success by far than we expected. Our
customers swept our counters and shelves almost clear
of all goods of this class.
Believing the ladies of Asheboro and Randolph county
would appreciate the opportunity to select their spring
dresses and furnishings before warm weather begins
we have filled our counters thirty days early with the
most complete and attractive line of
Dress Goods, Laces, Embr id
eries, Etc,
ever shown by us. They embrace all the most popular
fabric and patterns.
A few we mention which are popularized in fashion
centres, and will be largely worn during the coming
spring and summer are Taffeta Gingham, White and
Brown linen for shirt waists. For more dressy suits
Lansdowne, an imported fabric of wool and silk, has
taken a lead; while shadow checks and printed Silk
Tissu are becoming notably popular.
Besides our regular line of trimmings we have just
received a large shipment of laces, hamburgs and em
broideries, which were imported by New York dealers,
and will only be on sale here for ten days.
Spring Hats for Men.
Large line of Hats in straws, furs and panamas, the
shapes t.i be worn during the coming season are already
on sale at our store.
