HOUSEHOLD FURNISHING GOODS.

“Your firm lias more Bleaehings, Sheetings, Table Linens, Towels, and
Household Furnishing Goods, than any three houses here combined, and I never
see any mentioning of these goods in the papers.”
This is because we have had all we could possibly attend to in this depart
ment without trying to get up a boom. Now, every piece must go. The briek-
inason and the carpenter takes possession June 1st, and why leave these Snowy

, Df course you will stop to think, are these prices genuine? Do they mean
'tint they guy ? . Will they sell as advertised? Replying to all these questions
i once, we have but to ask you'one question: Did we ever deceive you n a
■'‘Jiigle advertisement? Didn’t we promise Athens the Grandest Millinery
u Pctung the South ever had, and fulfilled our promise? We make these sacran-
co' in prices, because we desire to enter our handsome new store, with a new
stoo *> from cellar to dome.
We never told you before that we made a purchase “direct” of our Six
Thousand Dollars worth of Table Linens and sold over Three-fourths of it to a
firm in Memphis, as we did not have room to display such an amount of Table
Linens. When we get in our new store with spacious floors, immense display
windows, ten times Six Thousand Dollars worth will not be too much for us.
