After Grant Creek. '
At a meeting of the oard of
County Commissioners Monday, a
committee was appointed to ex
amine Grant creek and to select u
place at which a canal shall be
dug, for the purpose of drainage
The idea is to straighten and drain J
the creek from Rock bridge to the
Yadkin river. The physicians of
the city have recommended this
work, as in their opinion much of
the malaria here and at Spencer,
is due to the poisons arising from
the creek and from the stagnant
pools near it. The committee
consists "of County Surveyor Mill
er, J. M. Maupin, A. W, Wine-
coff aifd-D. L. Gaskill, and they
will decide upon all matters con
nected with the work.

SALISBURY, N. C.,
September 30th, 1906.
DEAR FRIENDS:
Two and one half years ago we commenced
business in Salisbury. In that time our business
has increased almost four-fold and we cannot pass
by this date without thanking you for the share
you have taken in contribul ing to our success.
We want to assure you that your confidence and
patronage given us have not been misplaced. We
are strictly an independent drug store and we
ask for your trade on no other grounds than that
we give you good goods, good service and good
value. We buy the best goods we can get, pur
est drugs and medicines and dependable toilet
articles and sick room supplies. We sell these
to you at prices that afford us a just profit and
enable you to see that you are getting your mon
ey's worth. We "believe heartily in the "Square
deal" doctrine and bas all our transactions on
this poUcy. '
We always keep uppermost in mind that the
Hues of the globe's residents are often placed in
our care when we are asked to fill presciptions.
Consequently our store is never left in charge of
an incompetent man who cannot be depended
upon to compound difficult prescriptions accurate
ly. We do a larger .prescription business than
any other store in Salisbury, a fact that certainly
attests our professional ability.
We respectfully solicit your patronage for
the coming year and we know we can give you a
larger measure of good honest drugs and drug
store service than any other store in Salisbury.
We depend for our future success on your good
will and patronage. Hence we are going to ex
ert every effort to satisfy you. May we see you
frequently?
Yours very truly,
