WEHE A FRIEND TO TELE YOU: 'I have; had my own carriage and ridden ' my filLj I have gone to three balls in a night; Ij have lighted my cigar with a $10 bill, and; all when money was tight," you , would think he was hoisting, possibly pre varicating. But if he should explain that the carriage was a baby carriage, the three balls a pawn shop and the $10 bill a board bill, you would -see the joker. - When a farm paper advertises three full years for 35 cents, and it is a monthly pub lication, they give you just 36 numbers in the.whbls three yeais' time. Again, when they advertise three full years for $l, and it is a semi monthly publication, you get just 72 issiiesin the whole three years. In the first case ji6 issues less than the Progressive Farmer and Gazette gives its readers every year; and in the latter case they giv only 20 issues tnre in the three years than we do in on year. And you know that a pa per coming once a month, or even twice a month, cannot be as interesting, or as time ly, or as helpful as a paper coming every week. Ecn't forget that The Progressive Farmer and Gazette is made in the South, by. Southern mn, for Southern "men, and ' dealrflwith Southern conditions only.: It is made for you. i ' ' John Orr TR YON, s Groceries, Dry Shoes, Crockery Glass-ware 1 Enamel and Tin Ware Blue Flame Oil Stoves, Etc, NON-SECTARIAN Located in the Mountainsiof Western -North Carolina EVERY BOY AND GIRL IN POLK COUNTY "WHO CAN ENTER THE HJGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT MAY ATTEND FREE OF TUITION Expenses very modei ate FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, WRITE Columbus 1 Columbus, Polk County, North Carolina: 0GifIt$T ;C ; ' -i TRYOW, REPAIRS OF ALL KINDS MADE -TO STOVES, RANGES, BICYCLES, GUNS, SEWING MACHINES, ; LAWN MOWERS.
