JOLLY OLD UNCLE JOSH. COXTIXI'ED FROM FIRST PACK. snow that, hut I suspect it wou't be long before this young man be gins to take an interest in matters of paregoric and ' "U-n-c-l-e!" "Well go in sny wny, Polly may rind some toilet articles she wants." Sure enough she purchased combs, brushes, face powders and ounces ujon ounces of fine imported psA fumes. "Don't forget," added Uncle Josh, "to come here with your prescriptions as Vaughan and bis clerks are competent pharmacists and use pure and wholesome drugs." He then invited bis lords up to Vaughan's soda fount and ordered the thing to be kept a sizzin' till they had all they could drink. 'Iet's see I promised you a gold watch, didn't I," queried Vncle Josh of Tolly, "and M. II. Jones' jewelery store is the place to get it." Thereupon the old man gallantly acquitted himself of the promise and then directed Pol jly's attention to the superior stock ' of silverware carried by this house. "There is no other such house in town," said the old man, "and I will guarantee the quality to Ik? the very best. Pick out your family clock while here," he ad ded, "Mr. Jones carries a magni ficent line. Don't forgst another fact,' he continued, 'if ever you un fortunately need optical goods, this is the place to come, and say, Charley, when that old 'turnip of yours breaks down remember Mr. Jones can fix her up good as new.' At this point, somewhat to the confusion of Charles, the old man indulged in a half serious criticism of his personal appearance. "You are decidedly ott stvle for a towns man,' said he, 'and we'd better go to T. J. Lambe's clothing empo rium.' After Charles had litted himself in a suit, from the piles ol garments that cover the tables of this extensively stocked establish ment, Uncle Josh declared: 'Now you look like a newly married man.' IJefore leaving, having found goods and prices irresistible, Charles also invested in a com plete outfit of gents furnishings, hum the late style hat to a dozeu shirts. This houso is not to l un dersold in the state. By the way,' remarked Uncle Josh, as they reeched the street. 1 must run up to the First National bttnk and get another check book. Come with me and get acquainted witli Leo J). Jlcartt, the cashier, for of course you do business with them and it H always more pleas ant to be jiersonally acquainted with the people you do bushiest with. The bank is as solid as the lase of the universe, and has a strong working capital. Yon will find them ever ready to extend any accomodations compatible with business principles. While Uncle Josh was ponder ing where to go next, Polly sud deuly asked: 'Uufle, where can 1 tind the leading millinery es tablishment." 'We will go to Mrs. 'Atla Smith," remarked Uncle Josh. who, by the way, has on hand om of the coinpletest stocks of mill inery to lie found hi the city. Yov can get what you want there, th latert style and lowes-t prices U higher motto. Mm. Smith ha the experience which guarantee that when you have purchased ol her there is a sulisfutiott of Know ing your work baa been done by a comietetit artit.' In a fe liours there never was a happiet girl then Polly. ejaculated Polly, as they halted K-fore a whow window, what a jxTfwtly lovely litNr.' Ye,' raid Uncle J.h 'J, I Pridgcn'ft stock can't lie equalled in style and extent in this section, (to in, look it over and get ac quainted. It might have lieen Hlicy not to have extended that invitation, had hot Uncle Josh known what wise economy it isti. trade at Pridge's, for Polfv found goods and prices so seductive that 'ie purchased an outfit from a cotnfortai'le house slipper to a handsome walking hoot. Charley invested in gents fine lie, whifi I nele J' 1 1 indulged in a tout lirogan. No one needing loot wear can resist the iii'liiwinnb ol'erel tit Pridgen'g. 'By the way,' exclaimed Uiich JmIi, with a parental air, 'the next tiling to look after is tin lumlier for those improvements which are aWilutelv ru nmtrv Come with me and I'll introduce you to I). li. Cameron, manager at Cameron's lumber yard who ie tin- imiviI dealer in that line here. He carries the luost coinpte line of building material in the country everything, from shingles for the roof, including doors, and windows, mouldings, etc. It is a pleasure to deal with Mr. Cameron tor his greatost aim is to give satisfaction to every cus tomer. , Woman like, Polly was looking out for number one, and here she iuterruptcd with 'Oh, say, Uncle, where ci n 1 go for dry goods ? This dress is hardly tuitable, I must admit.' 'Well, my girl, .if you want to select from toe most extensively stocked establishment i t the city, I w! 1 direct you to Ellis, Stone. & Co., who carry a stock of dress goods that for vari ety and real value is seldom seen outside the largest metropolitan cities. They carry all the laUct weaves in fashionable dress goods and you are sure to be guided right in your selections. You will find Ellis, Stone & Co. pleasant to deal with, and his employes polite and expert, while the prices can not be duplicated. Later we'll look at their mattings. They lead ir. this line also. "Yes, and I must have a album. Uncle Josh," exclaimed Polly, "and " ".Yes, and a Bible with a reasonably big family register," interrupted the old man, "so we'll go down to Gattis & Son's book store. You'll find many articles indispensible for the parlor as well as the library there, and as for va riety, Gattis & Son have an un equalled stock. So here Polly's purchases included miscellaneous books, fancy stationary, all the latest agonies, bric-a-brac of al' manner for the centre-table; house decorations and such. Polly re marked to the generous old uncle, "Why, I don't know when to quit buying. This firm sells such nice goods, and so cheap, too." "And in the matter of insur nice," he continued, 'that is of im portance. You will want a risk on your new house, and fire lightning and tornado insurance on your farm property; then you can't do i more sensible . or satisfactory ching tbau to give your wife a paid up policy in life insurance and take jut accident for vouself. My friends J. t'outhgate & Son, not on'y have lines of the solidist and best com panies, but they are expert and trustworthy underwriters. They Uave, by far, the largest local igency in the state, writing all tranches of insurance with more than thirty of the largest Amer't- c in and English companies." The nsurance was placed with South ;ate & Son. "I would like to make you ac quainted with Dr. J. C. Brown, my lentist friend, too," said the old nan. "If on ever have to sup dement your natural teeth. Ugh! don't you mention false teeth to ne," cried Polly. "I'll never :arry 'pearly lies' in nry mouth if I go toothless," "Oh, as lor that," aughed Uncle Josh, "if you'll only consult a good dentist in time, you :an save the catastrophe. Dr. Brown, for instance, is wonderfully ixpert in saving natural teeth, and ne nas the skill and every me ..'banical appliance necessary to do tits work witb the least discoiu t'ort to his patrons." t " At this point Uncle Josh sue ested a resort to some place oi eireshment At the refreshment tab'e the old .nan waxed philosophical. "Never leglect your larder," said lie. "1 bat important adjunct to bouse fceepir.g controls masculine tem ,r. To that end you must patro nxe a grocer on whom you can de ,eiid for honest goods. Through i long term of years I have found . H Tractor perfectly reliable You will find him a careful dealer, Uways lull stocked with every pos iible thing in the line of staple and lancy groceries, iresn and first .lass, no shelf worn goods there hile the prices are down to brass tacks. "I declare, Uncle," exclaimed harley. 'There troes a hand ome phaton; I must have one like that for the girl." "Get it right here," said the old man "You see. C. P. llowerton ton Jucts a carriage renositorv her ihatfor variety and excellence of nock can not be beaten. lie ear fies surrys, carriages, buggies and pnaions oi leaning makes and ttyles. and is satisfied with a mod. .rate profit, too." Polly was soon the possessor of C. P. llowerton carriage, which is undoubtedly the oest. "As you are toinz to keen b'lrse," remarked Uncle Josh, "you'll need harness, and Jno. M. Wvatt is the tiTM hnrtm tniltin 0 .. .MltllllV I He uses only first-class material and give personal supervision to me minutest aeiau oi manniacture. There is nothing in this line that cannot lie had of him heavy and light, single and double, plain and fancy, work and buggy harness He has all them in stock, besides every other kind of turf goods im aginable." After a visit to the harness' store Charley said he thought "if a man couldn't get satisfied it would lie his owi fault and he expressed himself pleased witb Mr. Wyatt's candor and fair-ness. "How about the plumber, Uncle?" inquired Polly. "You remember you said you would see somebody tor" that." "Jess so, jess so ; and we shan't have anv botcher to do our work either. I' 1 go see W. F, Dowd & Co., the practical plumbers. We've got to nave gas and water pipes put in, a hot water heater besides other sa; i- tary fixin's. Dowd & Co. "is the very firm to do the work.. They understand thoroughly and ' ob serve closely a l.the hygienic laws guarding ugainst dangers from sewer gases. You can always fe 1 safe about the house when practi cal plumbers, as I know W. F Dowd & Co to be, have done the work!" "Now, young man, let me give you a pointer,'.' remarked the gen erous old uncle. "Do not under stand me to say that clothes makes the man, but I do affirm that clean and spotless linen makes the nice appearing man. Now in this con nection I am happy to inform vou that the Durham Steam Laundry is one of tbe best in the state. Polly will want her lace curtains washed some time, and it's a tick hsh job you know, but this laun dry is so very careful that the most delicate fabrics are washed without the slightest injury and at nominal cost, too Mr. Deelman, the man ager, will see that" your collars. cuffs and shirts are made white as snow and put on a lookin' glass nnisn. At this point Polly said some thing about ice. "Speaking of ice," replied uncle Josh, "that re minds me of W T. Saunders. Keep cool, keep cool, but follow me and you will leave an order for your summer summer supply My favorite ice dealer is Saunders. He sells the Kenebeck ice, clear as crystal and solid as a rock. And what is more he serves his customers with promptness and dispatcb, giving a fellow the full worth of his money and I know just what I'm talking about." Mr. saunders took the orier for their summer supply. "Law Sakes," suddenly ex claimed Uncle Josh, "all this trad ing and shopping round town has caused me to forget one of the great est essentials to future existence. I have heard it said that newly married folks could live on love and sceaery. but an old man of ex perience knows better. Now to locate a meat dealer where yon can get fresh wholesome meats at all times, J. W. Hutchins is the man to supply you.. He is popular witb everybody who is particular to have the the best. The reason for this all is because he is crreful in the selection of stock and get the trtsnest of everything and keeps nothing but tbe very ..test lo keep your 'Hubby' in a eood humor buy meat of J. W. Hutch ins every time, Polly." "Now," cried the old gen le man, "now for a picture of this crowd, in good old fashion, Wi'll go to the photograph gallery, and w. Saelburn has a first-class one. nis pictures are wonderful in fidelity and finish. I want one full-sied photo for my study and and some small ones for my friends. Shelburn is famous for success ful enlarging, and I want to give you a life-size representation of 'yours truly.' He has the soul ol a true artist; all his work is a labor of love in which he will not stop suon oi peritenon. En route for their home the gentlemen called at the Recokdek office. "You'll want the news every week," sail Uncle Josh. "and as this is the favorite paper of this section, Pll subscribe.
