We prefer not to say they are better than any body eLe’s, because so many stores say the same thing that it doesn’t mean anything. We would rather aim to excel than claim to excel. And in any event, we would rather be judged by the standards we have developed ourselves than by standards developed by others. We-seek only to ‘be known as a store that sells GOOD CLOTHES, honest in the woolens, skilled in the workmanship, authentic in the model ing, and as reasonable in price as effi cient storekeeping can make them. That is the basis of our solicitation for your Fall and Winter business. Just GOOD CLOTHES. And MODEST PRICES. * Chets. Stern Co. The Home of Good Clothes / The cemetery consists of about ninety-seven acreg of land In all; seventeen on this side of Oconee rivet and eighty acres t«e other side. All of the lots on this side of the river, the original cemetery, have , been sold. Those on the ether side sell anywhere trom *30. to *100.. each.. They are all the same alie. twenty by twenty, the price being . etecmlned accord ing to location. Twelve tieople can be burled In onu of these lots. For twenty-si* years the sexton of. the cemetery has been J. H Bisson. (Mr. Bisson is employed by the Trustees and his duties are to bo on hand to give information, soli, lots and superintend digging of graves: For these .irvices he Is given renl of hla nome free. The cemetery has no one respon sible for Its general appearance, This Is left to the individual lot owners. Komo of them have Mr. Bisson employed to keep their lots In good appearance. The city, ac cording to Mr. Bisson, aends a force to the cemetery about once each year to work on the road running through It. NO REVENUE BUT LOT SALES The cemetery trusteea havo no source of revenue for Ita mainten ance except that coming from the sale of lota. This money has been gradually savejj and put Into bondB and about »S,000 .la now on hand for emergency cases. Jt Is used for fcpalr work and Is not sufficient to maintain or Improve the gen eral property'such as landscape work. The object In creating this fund was to aomW’day havo enough money with which to beautify the cemetery as the topography, as one of the trustees put It, “would ad mit of its being made m beautiful ns Greenwood cemetery In Brook lyn.” However, lack of funds has prevented any Improvement. The truBteea made n'proposition to lot owners' some time ago that If they would give *150 each the lots would be kept up forever. Only four or five responded to Jhe proposition, however. TENS!

The council holds that an outrage committed under the circumstances attending the'slaying of the Ital ians, directly involves the respon sibility of the state I nth© terri tory of which it took place. AVERAGE OP 72 BURIALS Since Mr. Bisson assumed the duties of sexton the average num ber of people burled In the ceme tery amounted to about seventy- two annually, he stated. For twen ty-six years he has been sexton and the lowest number of burials was fifty-two. In 1918, during the flu epidemic one hundred fthd eight burials were recorded. About 1900 people have been buried In Oconeo since he became sexton, fbdqrdlng to Mr. Bisson's figures. No record was kept before hla day. The cemetery Is owned by the city.

The father of each boy In the class has allowed his son to take over about three agres of land to work as his "pro- ect." This project Is handled entirely by the boy. At the present time the boys have cotton fn their "projects.” Tho averago yield* on these projects will amount to three-uqraterp halo per acre. Prof. Chandler believes. After the cotton Is picked and ginned the hoya will plant bur clover which will be fol lowed with corn. The Idea Is to have something growing on the plot all the time. The boys are taught how to handle poul try successfully, show to select seed and all the worthwhile things in order to become a good farmer. One of tho princi pal elements in the training Is the understanding Between father and son that tho boys Is lo have a part of the porflts from the sale of bis proudets which he nautrally saves as a "nest egg” for his own farm soma day. Tho combination of father, teacher nnd son la a happy one and. In Wintervllle Is working successfully in scaring away that bugaboo—. "keeping the boy on the farm." Tho fathers of Wintervllle com- Storage, tho curb n foundation stones hav to a newer rfgricvltnral structure, marking the farm more attractive than ever, and certainly more prof itable. Not that these men are dis couraged over Che boll weevil nad counsel abandonment of cotton growing. Rather, they urge that cotton be raised, and believe it can be praised. If pure seed, rich land, small acreage and a deter- minted and consistent fight on the boll weevil are combined In. th-s ef fort. Raising food for roan and beast would bring In an additional supply of money to join that de rived from the sale of cotton. WOULD PROVIDE BUYING PLAN For the boy* who would stay on tile farm and reap the future rich harvests, but who are unable fin ancially U buy the land, Prcf. Wheeler would provide a system of selling on long time plan, part of the hundreds of acres of Idle lam* now lying In almost every commu nity. He is meeting with encour agement from bankers in working out this plan. The Winterv.ille school, under di rection of Prof.~T. N. Oalnes, Is one of the state's best There Is no doubt about that.
