THE R*ACES.
Outlook for Large Crowds and Good Races
Is Fine.
The stock show at the exposition will
take place Thursday morning, the sth,
instead of Tuesday, as stated in the Tri
bune Sunday.
The outlook is splendid for some fine
racing the fourth and fifth,and a large
crowd is expected to come from neigh
boring cities to see the fun. Several
horsemen are already on the grounds
with their stock. The track has been
put in excellent shape, and will be as
smooth as a floor.
There is a general wish on the part of
the clerks in the city that the stores be
closed up in the afternoon of the 4th [at
least, in order to give the men a chance
to see the races. It is very probable that
many of the stores will close.
HE JUMPED FOR HIS HAT.
A Small Bqjt Leapt From a Rapld'y Moving
Car.
Yesterday a small son of Mr. C. Kemp
was riding on an electric car out near
Lytle’s park, and his hat blew off. The
car was moving at a pretty lively rate
of speed, but the little fellow, jumped
to the ground. Ho fell full on his
head with terrific force, knocking him
insensible. His face and head was bad
ly bruised and cut. He was taken into
a residence near by, and Dr. McCall
was called in and gave him the neces
sary attention. The young fellow was
doing very well last night.
HOME, GA., TUEBDIY MORNING, JULY 3, 1894
FADS. FANCIES AND STAPLES.
ALL AT THE PARKS & CO. STORE.
And still at our old tricks
—giving very much for a very little.
It has been a great sale
—the sale of the Parks stock and the
Flemister stock. You don’t need to guess why—if you have kept posted as
to the prices there. The halt price mathematics will
be kept up till the summer goods of these stocks are sold.
If to you there is power in price carefully examine the catalogue below, and if to
you there is virtue in value come to the Parks Store. Prices tell but part of tne story,
the goods the rest. Put the goods and the prices together and they are invincible—
unmatchable. We are determined to close out this merchandise preparatory for an
immense new stock for Fall Business. Even now where the stock is deficient new goods
are being received daily. So it will not be a tale of “just out” when you come. The
goods advertised will be on hand and not a price, though it be less than half value, will
be dodged.
COME TO SEE US IF YOU WANT GOODS CHEAP.
Millinery.
We like to talk about—to write about
our Millinery Department—of the Airy
Straws, the Canton Straws, the Pearl
Straws, the Leghorns, Milans, White
Chips, the Laces, the Ribbons, the Flow
ers —Montures, Rose Sprays, Imported
Sprays and all the dainty et oeteras that
go to help make up the stock. But that
which most delights us is the evidence of
satisfaction to the people—the unmis
takable evidence that we are meeting the
requirements of the people. For the
pecple—might call it the whole people—
are buying their bead wear on
The Second Floor
of the Parks & Co. Store., and no wonder
At the cur prices we are making, every
piece and part in the stock is a bargain.
Not that wo have cheap millinery—we
have none—but that we have a world of
Millinery CHEAP; and, as water runs
down hill, ladies have come to us for
their supply, and again and again forcing
us to new engagements with Miss Snyder
our
Peerless Designer and
Trimmer,
after her contract for the season had ex
pired.
Mist Snyder will remain with us a
while longer and the stock will be
kept up.
Take the elevator to the millinery bar
gain mart on the second floor.
