Life, it istrue,isshortandtimeis precious, and the days go whirling by the young and old alike, but in passing, it will be worth your while to see to it that eyery penny is well spent, and that friendship and business must have a separate place in the consideration of one's pocket-book. At best it is the common experience of us all, that our hard-earned money seems to go too fast. There must be a cause. Look around you for a solution. THE SOLUTION. The one thing- that has driven itself home to minds of all casual observers is the extravagant prices he has been charged for thing's he absolutely needs. Look around you for evidence. The books of fiction you read, the stationery you use, the hat you wear, the lig"ht weight clothing you will buy when the heat of summer drives you to a change, all these and a thousand others amount to something- and the saving" you might have had thereon is worth your consideration. Fig-ure up the cost of each article of your last purchase and note well both quality and price, then g-o to the One Price Cash Store And look over our stock. This is an invitation that might be worth something" to you in the future. At least, the experiment will justify the cost. Don't Think because we are selling goods every day that our stock is not com plete. I am still receiving new Spring Goods. Respectfully yours, Mrs. A. E. HICKS. M MILLINERY STORE ! I have added to my millinery business a Dress Making Department, where the ladies can have their dresses made in the latest styles. All the latest magazines to select from. Satisfaction guaranted. MRS WHITENER A, P. IdSYou will find me nexi door to Lazarus Bros.
