. I have been running a grocery store in this city
for over fifteen years. -
i' The business was an old established one when I
bought it.
v Asheville has grown.
i But no one can say that I have failed to keep my
business with the growth or a little ahead of it.
An old customer told me last week that he had
been patronizing the finest grocery in next to the
largest city in the South, but that he found better as
sortments and better service at my store than he had
ever found anywhere else.
The margin of profit in the grocery business is
"small, VERY SMALL..
Things have reached a regretable point where the
retail grocer is compelled to handle some things at
absolutely no profit, and for that reason he is com
pelled to get as near cash for his goods as he can.
I have to do it, and if I didn't I would be com
pelled to charge you ever so much more for your groc
eries than I do, for I am in business to make a liv-
f ing.
On my books you, will find scores and hundreds
of the best families who have ever come to 4 Ashe
ville ' They use good goods and in large quantities.
This makes it possible for me to buy in quantities.
' It makes it possible for me to sell the average
home the best that can be had at a reasonable flg
' lire.
P I want more business. ,
1 want more customers.
' I want the city to grow.
' You can help the city grow by buying all your
- " t ' . '. . . . '
" . ")... , '
goods in Asheville.
If for any reason you can see your way , clear to
give me a chance to show you what efficient and po
lite service Sawyer's Service4 is, call me on the phone
; 1800 and say so and that is all you will have to do
except enjoy the result an 1 pay for the goods. .-

IS SOMEBODY JOKING
EL
He Hears He and
Brother
Have Inherited $4000, but
Details are Lacking.
A' erne Ijimbert, who is employed by
a concern in the city market, Is rather
much concerned over a report that he
said he received last niKht to the ef
fect thut he has lioeome the heir to
ibout $4000. He says he was told by
a man named Metcalf, who lives at
Marshall, that he and his brother,
Mose Lambert, were to receive $4000
each from the estate of James Alli
son, a relative of their who died re
cently on South Hominy; that Met
calf's wife, also a relative of the de
ceased, had already received a like
amount. Verge insists that this Is all
he knows about the matter, and says
there are a lot of things he does not
know.
In the first place, Verge says that
he has heard since he was talking to
Metcalf that Allison is not dead. He
did not know he was related to Alii
son, does not yet know in what degree
and never heard of him before. H
says he knows nothing about Metcalf;
wife: certainly never knew he was rr
luted to her: wouldn't know h,er if hi
should see her. Ho doesn't know
much about Metcalf.
Verge naturally hopes the report I
true, but this morning he did not ap
pear to have much hope that it is
He was also concerned about the re-
ort that he purposed buying a tour-
ng car. He declared he never had
any such intention and certainly
would not buy one if he should be so
fortunate as to get the money. He
supposed that it was someone's idea
of a joke.
Verge seemed to be a little afraid
that the whole thing might be a ioke.

MISS ISABELLA LOWE'S
In "The Trail of the Lone
some Pine," Which Was
Seen by Large Houses.
'4
"The Trail of the Lonesome Pine
was seen by large audiences yesterday,
at matinee and evening performances.
To say thut tha production was good
would be putting It mildly, for the
scenic, effects were about as good as
one ever sees here; and especially
good wore the lights portraying the
rising and setting of the sun In the
first and last acts. "The Trail of th
Lonesome Pine" Is a drama, dealing
with the Kentucky mountains and
was adapted by Eugene Waller from
the book of the same title, by '.lohn
Fox, jr. Mr. Walter has grasped the
true conception of the character of
the mountaineer. His characters are
as true to life as one usually finds on
the stage. The cast, as a whole, was
line, with the possible exception of
John W. Rennle as "Uncle Billy." His
work was not up to the standard set
by the rest of the cast. The part of
June," the heroine of the play, was
imst admirably filled by Miss Isabella
Lowe, who was seen hi re last year in
Mio leading part Of Mrs. Frances
lodgson Burnetto's play, "The Dawn
of a Tomorrow." Whether in the slum;
f London, or the' mountains of Ken
tucl.-y Miss Lowe has 'the right con
ception of the part she is to represent
and plays it for all it is worth. She
a worthy successor of Miss Char
lotte Walker, (Mrs, Eugene Walter)
who starred In the role last season.
Miss Lowe, with her true interpreta
tion of the role, captivates the audi
ence, from the moment she appears as
the barefooted little "June," in the
first act, until the curtain falls on the
last act, when dressed as she used to
be, she calls on "Old Hun," to blow
the bugle again, the bugle that tells
"Uncle Bllry" she and Hale are wait
ing, waiting for Jiim to come.
TIS
ing of Asheville Merchants
Association Last Night.
An effort will be made to secure a
summer school for Asheville during
the coming summer, a movement to
have such a school established being
liscussed lust night at the meeting of
thu , Asheville Merchants association.
. committee was appointed composed
of C. Sawyer, L. IS. Rogers and J.
Donald to co-operate with a similar
.ommittee from the board of trad
to raise $1000 fur the purpose f
financing the school.
It is believed that with such
jchool here between 500 and 1000
teachers from all over the stale would
be attracted and it is also believed
that the school will be self-sustaining.
The fund of $1000 Is to lie raised In
irder to insure the establishment of
uch an Institution and to bring the
very best lecturers Here for the
school, Prof. R. J. Tighe and Rev.
W. A. Newell brought the matter be
fore the association.
Hpeclnl efforts will be put forth at
a very early date to make Asheville
an Important distributing point In
the state. The transportation and In
dustriul committees of the association
will co-operate with committees from
the board of trade and the Greater
Western North Carolina association to
devise plans whereby Asheville may
become a better market and distrib
uting point for western North' Caro
lina products.
There were number of other mat-
tern brought to the attention of the

Get Rid of
All Indigestion
If Your Stomach Is Lacking In IMges-.-.'
the lowcr. Why Not Help t)te
; Stomach Do Its Work?
Not with drugs, but with a rein
forcement of digestive agents, such as
are naturally at work In the stomach.
Scientific analysis shows that' diges
tion requires pepsin, nitrogenous fer
ments, and the secretion of hydro
chloric acid. When your food fails
to digest, It is proof positive that some
of these agents are lacking In your
directive apparatus.
A Day Work Is so Much Play to the
Man With a Stomach Kept Right
With Stuart's Dysix-psla
Tablets.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
these natural elements necessary to
digestion and when placed at work in
the weak stomach and small intes
tines, supply what these organs need.
They stimulate the gastric glands and
gradually bring the digestive organs
back to their normal condition.
There is no secret in the prepara
tion of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Their composition, is known among
physlclansv as the most popular of all
remedies for Indigestion, dyspepsia,
water brash, insomnia, loss of appe
tite, melancholia, constipation, dysen
tery and kindred dissolution and as
similation of foods, because they are
thoroughly, reliable and harmless to
man or child.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by all druggists at 50 cents a box end
are at once a safe and a powerful
remedy, one grain of the active prin
ciple in these tablets being strong
principle in these tablets being strong
enough (by test) to digest :!000
grains of steak,' eggs and other foods.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
your food for you when your stomach
can't.
