Smithfield's Dollar Day here Wed
nesday was a great success. Some of
our merchants say that it was one of
the best days they have ever had. A
representative of the firm of W. L.
Woodall & Sons told The Herald man
that they had the biggest cash sales
of any day in the history of their busi
ness. Other merchants did a splendid
business. Not only did those who had
special advertising for the day reap
a good harvest, but those who did not
advertise at all had a fine trade. They
reaped the harvest of the seed sowing
of others. It pays to advertise, and
especially so if you are able to offer
some good bargains. The -ioiks are

At the dr; wing room door Mrs. N.
M. Lawrence and Mrs L. T. Royall

es Ava and Irene Myatt and lone
Abell served delicious refreshments
in keeping, however, with Mr. Hoov
er's conservation plan. In the gift
room, Mrs. H. G. Gray and Mrs. J. W.
Keene received. The lovely display of
silver, cut glass and other gifts evi
denced the esteem in which the bride

pleasant of the season.
