An automobile wreck near
Cane River last Sunday proved
disastrous to the family of Mr.
Sid Peterson, Sr., of Jacks Creek.
The car was being driven by
Clyde, Mr. Peterson’s son, and
the other occupants were Mr.
and Mrs. Peterson, their daught
er Miss Clonnie and Mr. Bob
Evans. The car turned c(^-
pletely over. Mr. and Mrs. Pe
terson and their .daughter are
now confined to their homes from
the effects of their injuries, which
were severe. Mr. Evans and
Clyde were only slightly injured
The Sage of Burnsville says it
is all right for a fellow to put
his family in his car and take
them to Sunday school and
church on Sunday morning, but
when he loads his wife and chil
dren in his car, dodges by his
church and goes to the country
to spend the day, he is not only
not doing his duty toward his
family but he is incurring the dis
pleasure of the Almighty. ‘ Re-
member the Sabbath day to keep
it holy ” The fellow who dis
regards the Lord’s day, and leads
his children to do the same thing,
is just as sure to come to a bad
ending as the Gospel is true.
That is what the Sage says about
it, and we believe he is right.

Notice to Contractors |
and Builders I
Owing the building boom all over the country and the ^4,
great demand for lumber and building supplies that has X
continued all the year, it is almost a certain fact that there ^
will ^ no great reduction in prices of lumber and building
supplies this year, and some who are in much better posi- ^
tion to know than we. predict that the demand will last all ^
through next year; therefore, if you are planning to either ^
build or repair, please give us an opportunity to figure X
your estimates and we will give you the very lowest prices
the market affords, considering our high quality lumber
and the best standard lines of building materials.
Our stock is more complete now than ever before and
we can fill almcst any order on short notice, notwithstand
ing the fact that our business is twice as large now as it
was at this time last year. This proves that our Service,
Quality and Prices are right.
We have made a Factory connection with one of the
oldest and best Paint Manufacturers in the United States,
buying our paint and oils in carload shipments at manufac
turers prices, and as soon as our car arrives, which will
be during the first part August, we will be able to give
our customers unheard of prices on High Grade Guaran
teed Paint.
Mail us your inquiries and orders and remember that
we are here to serve. Our motto: Satisfied Customers.
