the telephone system with poles

electric light service. This cut
off phone communication throug

limbs covered the ground, and in
many instances the naked trunks
were all that remained. This
state of affairs prevailed through
out the county. Many reports
say the fruit crop will be short

fruit trees.

Where did yon get that dollar, eh? By honest
toil sir, no doubt. Yes, you swapped your own
hard muscle for it We know you did. Then,
my good sir, you surely want to make the most
of it. We know you do.
Then you should cultivate our acquaintance more.
We know you come to see us often. We know
you are always pleased with our goods and
prices. But we alsa knowthat we carry many,,
many goods that you don't know we handle, or
knowing, forget them for the time. We know,
you can not be persuaded when there is so much
difference in our big values. No, no, never,
you are too level headed for that.
BUT DID YOU KNOW, that we carry a big as
sortment of stationery, such as box and loose
paper, envelopes, pens, pencils, inks,' books and
.blank books, tablets, toilet paper, tissue paper,
etc., that rivals th best bookstores?
Did know our hosiery department for men, women
and children is the best place ! in the world to
buy these goods? - y
Did you know our hardware department contains
a better stock of table cutlery, spoons, ete., carv
ing knives, butcher and kitchen knives, than
many hardware stores carry?
Did you know our clocks and watches, silver and
nickle plated ware is away down below any jew
' .elry. store price for the same grades?
Of course you know all about our wobdenware and

But we want yduto know us better and get the
