WAYNESVILLE TO HAVE A 16
CENT STORE.
Mr.
Clvde H. Fav. Sr. will soon
open a 5 and 10 cent store in tie old
Sloan-Plott Hardware building di
rectly across from Mr. Ray's dry
goods store. Mr. Ray has been one
of Waynesville foremost and most
energetic merchants for years and it
is hoped that this new store will be
as successful as his other business.
Several people have attempted 5 and
10 stores in Waynesville, but have
failed. There is no reason why a
town of this size can not support' a
atore of this kind for one is very
much needed. .

The American band is found aboard

In the past two years in North
