At the same 2X of Union that the country is officially in the World War, we who wear the khaki of business may well ask what our part will be what changes, if any, will be made in the regular course of ouf affairs; shall we do more or less advertising? We believe that adver tising is woven into the fabric of modern business and will make Its voice heard and its power felt in spite of the tumult and the shouting, and that after the lords and kings depart (speed the day), it will be employed to a greater degree than ever In the work of reconstruction. Therefore, be it known by these presents that we expect to keep it up and that we stand back of all we advertise. We keep the goods to please the people. Our complete line comprising a pleas ing variety from the modest low priced through the medium to the high grade, enjoys correctness of de sign and construction and finish. To this we add prompt, intelligent and courteous service. Welcome one and all. old stand. SKETCHES Our friend. Deacon Bob Poster, is a citizen any town should be proud to list among its inhabitants. Not only does he spend his money at home, but he always speaks favorab ly of Monroe when he is away, as he honestly believes this to be the best town on the earth. Once when the Deacon was a witness in a railroad case at Wadesboro, and what he thought of his home town was ex pressed by him on the witness stand Jim Lockhart, a Wadesboro at torney, was cross-examining the Dea con. To the best of our recollection, the following colloquy took place. "You live at Monroe?" Yes." 'You are here as a witness for the railroad?" "Yes." "Your are stopping at the Nation al hotel?" "Yes." "The railroad is paying all of your expenses?" "Yes." "And so far as you are concerned you don't care if the trial lasts a month?" Here the Deacon deviated from his customary cursory answer by saying: "Yes I do. I'd rather stay in jail in Monroe for a month than stay in the Wadesboro hotel for a night!" Old timers relate strange happen ings that occurred back in the days when the town was not much more than a cross-roads village. In those days of whiskey, hot politics, and free-for-all fights, so one story goes, a certain famous character, now dead, became incensed at another inhabi tant. Near him there happened to be a dog stretched out on the ground on all fours, enjoying the sunshine oblivious to the fate in store for him when the man, unable to control his anger any longer, reached for a stick to hit his adversary. His hands groped over the ground in an unsuc cessful search until t'.iey came across the two hind feet of the dog. Grasp ing them tightly, he slung the dog's head against the advancing foe with such terrific force that the dog was killed. The man, It is said, escaped with a few minor bruises. T. I,. I'KOWKLL, Collector. Yes, when you pay too much for an article you have lost. When you sell your produce for less than the market price you have lost. When you trade with me you get your goods for less and if you will always keep your eyes on my ad. you will see that I always pay more than the other fellows. In my last ad. I offered 33 l-3c per dozen for eggs, but be fore the ink was dry I was paying 40 cents for eggs. Yes, we pay cash for what we have and sell for cash, and that Is why we sell it for less. We are still selling Soap and Washing Powder for 5 cents; 14 quart Dish Pans, 20c; 2 pint cups, 5c; Quaker Oats 10c; Tobacco at old prices; 3 packs Gloss Starch, 10c. Yes, we keep a little of everything, such as Sugar, Coffee, Bacon, Lard, Flour, Mill Feed, Dry Good9, etc. Parties in town can get the benefit of my prices by sending a post card and letting me know what they want. We can deliver twice a week. Yes, we have no town taxes to pay, no house rent to pay; we try to make our own grub at home; no partners to divide profits with; no expenses for clerks Just me and the old wo man run the business. Yes, we buy all kinds of produce, such as chick ens, eggs, butter, seed cotton, cotton seed, corn, fodder. Wanted 500 bushels white peas. Will pay a big jirice for them. We also want 25 head of calves and year lings. Respectfully, W. T. PLYLF.R, Leader in Low Prices, Mt. Prospect JTOK Wanted. We are always in the market for iron, metal of all kinds, bones, paper, etc. Opea erery day. MOVROE IRON KETAL CO.

A case of spinal meningitis broke out in Battery E last week, and the whole company has been moved bi'.ck in the woods and quaran tined. It Is certainly a lonesome place.

The mascot fever seems to have ripped the boys, as every time one of them goes home he brings back some pei wun nun. ine laiesi au- dition to the menagerie was a pair of guinea pigs, which were brought hack by an Anson county boy. There is no need of any one else bringing a mascot, as we will soon have enough to give every soldier a mascot. We had several visitors Saturday and Sunday. Among them was Miss Sarah Welsh, who was our guest for dinner Saturday. The boys hope that others from back home will visit us. as it is a Joyful sight to see anyone from home. Items of Interest.

Secretaries. (From the Statesvllle Landmark.) Col. Roosevelt. In his contributions to the Kansas City Star, Is going ar ter the abled-bodied men of military age who have gone into Y. M. C. A. work in the army. He argues, ana truly, that It is an ignoble thing for an able-bodied man of military age to seek a position of bodily safety, where his example naturally excites contempt and resentment among men who are risking their lives; and it hurts the influence of the Y, M. C. A., one of the most powerful agen cies for good in the military camps. No able-bodied man under 45,' con tends Col. Roosevelt, should repre sent the Y. M. C. A. in the war lone or with the army camps. AX OLD MAX'S 8T()LCII ' As we grow older and less active, less and less food is required to meet the demands of our bodies. If too much is habitually taken, the stom ach will rebel. When a man reaches the advanced cge of 85 or 90, you will find that he Is a light eater. Be as careful as you will.however. you will occasionally eat more than you should and will feel the need of Chamberlain's Tablets to correct the disorder. These tablets do not con tain pepsin, but strengthen the stom ach and enable it to perform its functions naturally. They also caus a gentle movement cf the bowels. sir John on th Fair.

B. B. Shankell and Misses Mamie Ross. Sadie Boyd. Wilma held at Marshville on last Friday and Saturday. The fair was a great un dertaking. Taking the departments la order of their importance as I think they should come. I will try to express my opinion of the affair: i Firs was the department of the women's exhibits. This was esnerlal- ly good in that it contained from the least to the greatest of things for the home and school. The canning work done by the canning club girls from several parts of the county were there in the finest possible condition and prepared by the highest quality that can, it seems, be produced. Then came the fancy work of all ages, some things in the exhibit were ver old; one quilt especially which was 72 rears old. The school pihihits in the same department were also very fine. Second, was the farm exhibits which contained some of everything that is grown on the various farms of worth in that community. Many and, in fact, all that was contained in this department was of the best quality in every respect. The poultry department was the next In importance and this was the nicest show in its line that I have ever had the privilege of beholding, Every kind of poultry almost was in Iv c,n. rwii ami t nia g ana ft man T I proved a very interesting part of the J fair. , iast was the live Rtoek. which was . i hi: niiu n a iruin uioi lum uv L'ui i nil o very excellent in its sphere, but was not so complete in its line as the other exhibits. Mr. Austin's big herd of registered Guernseys were Verv fine and also a few other thlnes. Now what I would like to say in re gard to this that we up here in this part of the county are, "lagging" far behind in not being able to place on exhibit as nice things as do our eastern Union county neighbors. We can do it if we will only try by going to work and each one doing his part to help the cause along. Let's each farmer start in time and prepare something for a community fair next year. We are expecting a great time to night when we shall attend the big Halloween party at the Presbyterian manse here at the village, and hope that all who come will have a fine time as well as ourselves. A few who went to Charlotte the first of the week to resume their work at Camp Greene returned Tues day afternoon after being discharg ed, I suppose. Those who are left to finish the work will complete what Is to be done in a short time it is thought. Bad colds are very prevalent in this part of the county about this time every years and have not missed this year as several of the citizens are badly troubled with this awful annual falling of health. Mr. J. I). Heinby of Weddlngton. who has an Interest In a mercantile concern there was almost disabled to work on last Monday so he returned to 'his home until he improves, Mr. und Mrs. Will Plyler of Slier were visitors In the village Saturday night and Sunday. Born, to Mr. and Mrs. L. Z. Hartis, a son, Tuesday, Oct. 30th. Miss Floy Myers of Marshville, a former school teacher of this place, Is expected to be present to attend the Halloween party tonight.
