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.

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.

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.
