Our buyers will in a tew days go on i the northern
markets to complete the purchase of bur' fall stock of
goods. While our store in the past haeceidf0ahy
strong words of praise and commendation as;;tb the
class of oux goods and the service rendered, we expect
this fall to surpass anything we have yet dortefe It is
our purpose to put in one of the classiest sfccks of
goods ever brought to Roxboro. :: ;
On every sid9 you hear the cry of the high cost of
merchandise, which is largely true, but for the past six
months we have been making purchases for our fall
line and you will notice no great appreciable advance in '
the jsbst of ycur purchases, especially in the beginning,
lit ml pay you to look our stock over before you
make your fall purchases,. We invite you to come and
see whether you buy or not. Tie to us and see if we
don't save you money. ia-

In the death of Mr. Webb the
County has lost a valuable asse
for few men in the County knew
the inside workings of the aft
fairs of the County as did he. He
was 68 years old and for twenty
four years he has served ;as Regf
ister of Deeds, "and during all of
that long term, hardly , a man cai
be found who was- not proud tQ
say "Mr. Webb was my friend,'
for he was indeed a friend to an j
one in need who appealed to.himf
He had been in bad health: for
several months and on account
this he resigned hk office on Juli
31st, at the same time sendigiq
his resignation as candidate for"
the office to which he was nominf
ated in the May" primaries. ' v
Mr. Webb was a faithful meni
ber of the Methodist church and
his pastor always knew he had a
friend and a worker he could
counc on. 5
