there was a wedding. Not much
longer before there came a letter
from Polly's uncle, Joh, down iie: t
in the Old North State, who wrote
effusively at her exhibition of what
he called "grit," and he proposed
that if the young people would lo
cate at Plymouth lie-would start thejn
up ai life as a wedding gift, and ut
the same time give them a lot of
good practical advice. Of course
they accepted, and were bidding their
friends adieu..
m iv
Early yesterday morning a travel
stained party arrived at Plymouth.
Our friend, Uncle Josh, was in
pharge and he led the party straight
way to a hotel. "The Hotel Roa
noke," he said, "is a typical South
ern liQtel of the best" class. 1 have
known Levi Blount, the propi ietor,
for years and he is mine hot after
niine own heart. A thorough busi
ness man, endowed with that delight
ful in i uition that makes a guest feel
at home, comfortable, pontented,
and in mighty good luck. The house
is one of convenience; the apart
ments are well furnished ; the cui
sine all that a superior chef aud un
limited order on the market can
make it. I have engaged rooms- here
for you to opcupy until your own
house is in readiness.
After breakfast,'"' siic the old
man, "I am ready to go buy your
putfit. To expedite matters I have
ordered a carriage frot'i W. C. Mar
riner, our enterprising liveryman."
When the handsome carriage, with
elaborate trappings and prancing
horses drew up in front of Hotel
Roanoke Polly declared t the finest
turnout .. ; : : - .vr ; . ': ,
reji-lied Uncle Juslr, "tlie three $. a,
'Speed, Safety aud Style,' is Marri
ey's motto, So. young folks-, when
you want to take a clrive, either for
business or pleasure, go to him for a
rig every time. He also sells every
kind .of vehicle, horses and mules,
can f.urnish harness in the bargain
and is satisfied with a moderate prof
it, too." Charlie afterward paid a
visit to his establishment and found
things just as Uncle Josh predicted.
Their first vjsit was to the estab
lishment of Spruill & Bro. Having
heard so much of their varied as
sortment of dry goods, notions and
shoes. Polly was glad of the oppor
tunity, for she found goods and pri
ces so seductive there that she pur
chased everything fcb.e -needed m
these lines. Uncle Josh also inves
ted heavily in Christmas presents
for his kindred, concluding from the
large stock exhibited that Santa
Clans intended to make his head
quarters there. There was no end
to the toys, .dolls, .carriages and mu
sical, instruments, and any one lind
ing no suitable presents ,:,it Spruill &
Bro's., must be hard to please, in
deed. Their stock of public school
bpoks is complete in every detail
and sold at contract prices.
"A pretty gopd start," said the
old man, "and now we'll go to the
establishment of Louis P. Ilornthal.''
Polly's housewifely instincts had full
play in maryels of kitchen apparatus.
Every possible pisce of kitchen fur
niture, from a tin dipper to a cock
ing stove is here in all styles and va
riety. If Polly fails to accomplish
wonders in the culinary art, it will
not.be for want of superior cooking
utensils, for she purchased an up-tor
date "Excelsior"' cook stove with all
equipments needed in a well-regula-1
ted kitchen, besides seyaral "Wil
son" heaters. After Polly had fin
ished her purchases Uncle Josh
talked with Mr. Gardner about
builders' materials and farming im
plements, guns and ammunition in
in
.which this firm leads.
At this point, somewhat to the
confusion of Charles, the old nian
indulged m a half serious cri,ticis.m
pf his personal appearance. "Vou
are decidedly oil tyle for a towns
man," said he, "and we'll nee ilorti
Ual for clothing also." After Ch'ir
Itvs had fitted himself in a suit of
the celebrated "Vitals" brand of
clothing and a "h'agiau" overcoat
Uncle Josh declared : ".Now you
look like a new! y-iinu Tied man." Re
fore leaving, having found goods and
prices irresistible, Charles also in
Vested in a complete outfit of gents'
furnishings, from the Jate sly.le hat
to a dozen .shirts. ' Upen leaving
Pplly remarked about the handsome
display, which was supplemented by
Uncle Josh that there is nothing
lii,:e it in town.
"Uh,. say, Uncle," exclaimed Pol
ly, "where can 1 get a stylish hat?
Pile one I have is hardly suitable, i
must admit." "Let's go a few doors
west and we'll visit Mrs. A. M. ;
Avers. Von cap get w'hat a on want ;
there, the latest stles and lowest j
prices being her motto. Her trim- j
mers haye fho experience which !
guarantees that when you have pur- i
chased of them you have a thing at ;
the lowest possible price and a satis
.action of knowing that your work I
has been done by competent artists." i
A few hours later there never was ;
e happier girl than Polly j
During a short drive about town
the old man waxed philosophical.
"Never neglect your iarder," said he.
"That important adjunct to house
keeping controls masculine temper.
To that end you must patronize a
grocer on whom you can depend lor
honest goods. Through a long term
of years I have found J. A. Wil
loughby perfectly reliable. You will
find him a trving-to please dealer,
always full stocked with every pos
. TO.
sible thing in groceriee, fresh and
iirst-class-j-no shelf worn goods there.
A good provider always buys his food
there because he not iwily gets the
best of .every t'huig, but the l est val
ue for the uioii"y. The longer peo
pie trade with d. A. Willoughby tin
better they are satisfied.
"Ye.--, ;md while we are on this
imp.ortani.toj)ie of g ist rouommics.
we must not forget meat. It gue
h.and-i,n-ha,nd w ith groceries. Is'ov
to locate a meat market where you
can got 1 1 e-h. ivholcsom.e- meats at
all lim.es, A. T. Tetlerion is the one
to supply you. This is .the boss meat
market, in ihe town and is popular
with everybody who is particular to
have t Ho best. The reason for this
all is because he is very careful in
the selection of stock and gets the
freshest of everything and keeps no
thing but the very best. To keep
your 'Hubby in a good humor trade
at Telt.erton's marker, every time,
Polly." lie also advised Charley to
bring his cattle, hides and furs to
Tetterton's, whojN-iys highest mar
ket prices.
