Not Pbt Luck,
But Selection
Each seasen since opening, we have almost entirely
closed out our original and subsequent orders on shoes.
- ... jf -
We do not like to say that we have the best line of
shoes made, but will say, in the selection of our shoes we did
not take a pot shot and trust to luck, but made close inquiry
and selected a line that had been tried and given satisfaction.
We have had no occasion to regret our selection. Our first
customers are among our customers today..
Just Received a Shipment of Laciies
Slippers For Spring
Come in now and make your choice while we have a
full run of numbers, because on a reorder of this line of shoe
it usually takes about 20 days to make up.
New spring goods are coming in every day and it is
our purpose in the future as in the past to give you the best
going and save you money on what you buy. Try Us.

preaching service. While this
service was given by all of the
choirs of the town, still it was nn.

Pettigrew Bradsher and largely
to her efforts was due the great
success of the evening.
After prayer by Rev. O. W.
Dowd the services were turned "w
er to the choirs, -which, consisted
f 24 voices, with Mrs. E. E.
Btadsher as organist and Mr. El
mer Pixley with the violin. 'For
more than an hour the vast con
gregation listened with rapture, to
the solos, duets, quartettes and
tchorus, and there was not a dull
moment of the entire evening.
Every song rendered was so
well done that it is risky to say
Svhich was the most enjoyable,
but we think we will do hurt to
no one when we say that the duet

sHer and Dr. Tucker and the male

Carolinians stood as oe man for

under any name they choose to
call it. It is believed that the la
dies can do more towards having
the town put in a sanitary .condi
tion than all other agencies com
bined, and of course they are the
proper parties to lead in the mat
ter of beautifying the homes and
the parks of the town.
Every jady in town, is asked to
attend this meeting 'and lend a
helping hand, for it is the earnest
desire that the town shall have a
thorough cleansing before spring
time and summer comes. The
call issued states plainly, that you
will not be asked to contribute a
penny, but simply to plan and
ON THE LAST DAY OF MARCH FOR TEIS!
SEASON. ; V -.V
At a meeting of the Tobacco v
Poard of trade it was decided to'. 1
close the market here on ; the 31st

as heavy this season as was ex-,

the prices as a whole ha?a
been very much better- than ; the

were low before the holidays and
many were disappointed in their
prices, but since the first, of the;
year the farmers have been better ;

for the several markets are .made'-.'

MR. BROWN HURT.
1 On last Thursday evening while

was too late for him to get out of '
the way. In-falling it struck him
Kcross the shoulders, knocking
him down, though not seriously,
huiting him. Aside from being
laid up for a day or two he seems
none the worse for the accident

may make will be put into effect market has ranked right up with
