A correspondent of the Bulle tin writing from the eastern section of State writes: "Fences are costing the far mers too much money. Our standing timber has grown to bo very valuable, and it is a shame that so much of it is wasted in these old rail fen ces. The hogs running at large in the woods destroy the pine mast and prevent the repro duction of the pino tree." We might a'dd that tho the stock law" would remedy the evils of cuttle tick or splenic fever. See Bulletin page 1C. A THOUSAND TONGUES Could not expres the rapture o Annie E.

Over a year ago we 'said we would have a business conduct ed on theNsame honest princi ple as John Wannamaker's that is: all goods marked in plain figures, (as low as they could possibly be sold) and sold stricly at the same price to all alike. An itemized bill sent with every purchasp and your money back if you 'want it, without any contention. These are the principles upon which our business is founded. We are glad to state that the confidence of the public in our methods has increased our business to such an extent,that to-dky we can say truthfully, that we are the largest re tailers in our line in the city. We refer our readers to the freight agent of the Norfolk & Southern R. R. Ask him who receives the most dry goods. Who pays the largest freight bills? We have never carried such stocks since the begining of our dry goods business. We have never had more to show you of good that can be found no where else. We have never had more that is beautiful, new oriflinal, and worthy ex clusively within our doors. And we have never offered so much for so little. OUR MOTTO is beginning to be a house-hold word. It flies from the top of our building on a flag big enough for all of of competitors to see out. You can have its truthfulness dem onstrated whenever you like. Get it in your mind. Keep it there '01TO"Mitelua Sells It For Lut." People will trade where they can buy the cheapest. We ca tor for every-body's dollar and have prices to suit every pur se. If you are not wedded to some particular store and ap preciate honest, up-to-dato methods, we invite a compari son. We might add that we have never had such large daily audiences. But that's to be expected when there is ' so much to see iu a store so eas ily reached. MITCHELL'S BEK-LUYE. Tke Only StricMy One-Price HovM' in Elizabvth City, C. A Letter from Wake Forest.
