A WORD WITH YOU!
If you have money or credit use it
t j buy some of the goods we offer
for lees than their worth in the
largest market in the world today.
Cross & Blackwell’s mixed
picklee, quart bottles for 25 cents.
Regular price 40 to 50 cents. Large
olives, never sold for less than 3 >
cents at 25 cents the bottle. We
/have only a small lot of the above
goods that will b sold at above
prices and if you know anything
about their value you will know
that they are bargains. Under the
head of bargains will come our
brooms, the price of which has been
cut on them all except the ten cent
size. Then comes toilet soap on
which we have cut the price 20 per
cent on a'l grades that sells at 5 J
cents the box and less; which makes
the price of that at ten cents the
box 8 cents and 25 cents soap for 20
cents, 50 cents soap for 40 cents the
box, &c.
PRESERVES,
In this line we have the best
goods that can be made of sugar
and fruit. They are pure and noth
ing can be said in their praise that
thq goods do not merit McMechin’s
preserved figs at 25 cents the jar,
preserves all kinds, ten cents the
can. Jelly 23 cents the bucket.
Roquefort! cheese 15 cents the jar,
sold everywhere at 25 cents.
TETLEY’S TEAS.
There isn’t any other “just, like
it.” It stands alnne in tbe dignity
of purity, excellence of flavor and
reputation. Never t< uched but once
with the hand and that in picking
Machinery does the balance. Think
of the Chinese hands, never too
clean, Compare Chinese Teas in
flavor and strength with Tetley’s
and you will never have any but
Tetley’s.
COFFEE
If you want it at ten cents the
pound we have it. If yon want the
finest product of the earth we have
that. If you buy coffee from us it
shall be better value for the money
than you can get elsewhere or you
get your money back. Our Q & Q.
coffee roasted and put up in three
pound .ans is the best that money
can buy. Try one can of it for sl,
and if yon are any judge of coffee
and you do not say it is the best
that ever come to Rome then you
shall h ,ve your dollar and the coffee
too.
FLOUR
Hand’s Best does make more
bread, cleaner bread, and whiter
bread, than any flour on this market.
Other merchants could huy as good
flour if they knew where to get it
and would buy a high price 1 flour
and tell if. at a price to compete
with us. Buy the best you can find
at other stores, take a sack of
Hand’s Best, test them side by side
and if you get any good as our
brand, then we will give you a bar
rel.

Do You Use It?
It’s the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayer’s Hair Vigor. It re
moves dandruff, cleanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil in
which the hair grows, and,
just as a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour
ished. But the roots must be
there. If you wish your hair
to retain its normal color, or
if you wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use
Ayer’s Hair Vigor.

full of humor, melody and movement.
As farce comedy stars, they have for
a long time been counted among the
best and have always been surround
ed by a large and capable company.
This season is no exception to the
rule. As in the past, many special
ties will be introduced both concert
ed and individual, as almost every
member of tbe company is a specialty
