Mr. Berwanger'sSale.
Mr. Sam Berwanger announces his
semi-annual clearance sale in this
issue of the Enterprise. Most of our
readers are probably familiar with
these sales and they know that it is
a good time to make purchases. Mr.
Berwanger always sells as he adver
tises. A good quality of goods at
a discount price and a dollar will
purchase all that he says it will. If
you take advantage of this sale you
will not be disappointed. It will pay
out of town people to visit Mr. Ber
wanger's store at any time, but
especially well while this sale is go
ing on.
A Business Puller.
Don't fail to read the large adver
tisement in this issue by Mr. J. P.
Hayes, photographer and agent for
Edison's phonographs and records.
Mr. Hayes started in business here
a few years ago in a very modest
way. Good work, good goods, an en
gaging personality and a liberal use
of printers' ink has placed him in
the front ranks. He does not hide
his light under a bushel, but tells
the public that he is here, what he
can do, and what he sells. He is a
business puller. He pulls, and if it
doesn't come he goes after it.
1 1 is ad in this issue is one of the
largest ever published by a photographer.
A Lively Chase.
Tuesday afternoon Constable Pope
arrested John Ray, a negro engine
greaser working at Johnston Street
station, on the charge of breaking
into the residence of Mr. Stark S.
Batchelor some time last summer.
Mr. Batchelor was with Constable
Pope when he escorted the negro to
the city prison. And just as they
reached the door leading down to the
prison Ray jerked away and ran as
hard as ever he could up Fayette
ville Street to Hargett where he was
recaptured. When the constable
caught hiiri again he carried him to
the county jail, where he will await
trial.

Sickening Shivering Fits
of Ague and Malaria, can be reliev
ed and cured with Electric Bitters.
This is a pure, tonic medicine ; of
especial benefit in malaria, for it ex
erts a true curative influence on the
disease, driving it entirely out of the
system. It is much to be preferred
to Quinine, having none of this
drug's bad after effects. E. S. Mun
day, of Henrietta, Taxes, writes :
"My brother was very low with ma
larial fever and jaundice, till he
took Electric Bitters, which saved
his life. At all druggists; price 50c,
guaranteed. .
