The Durham Herald pertinently
remarks that "asstem that prac

wrong. We believe that cases have
lieen tried in this county in which
the lawyers for the defense knew
positively as soon as the jury was

this and nil oilier counties of the

GOOD BREAD COMES
Only From GOOD FLOUR.
Many a well-meant, well-planned attempt at brcad-maklnf il
wrecked on the shoals ol poor flour. Cheap flour is bad flour Iti
low price is the milker's excuse for the Inferiority ol h!i product
Uood bread is not hard to make- Hull the voyage is over when you
get good flour- Whiter, .troiij;er, sharper, purer flour than our can
not be made- Therefore we caution you to ask for the "O0L0EN
ROD" and INVINCIISI.IV brand. These brands are sold at ttte low
e.t price for which really first class flour can be sold and its prlca Is
thelhighest you need to pay in order to get the best. Beware of bad
flour and short weight- Our quality and weights are guaranteed.
