OUR ADVERTISERS The Times calls special attention to our lists of advertisers in this issue. We trust our large number of subscribers in this terriory will read what these firms have to say to you. It is always interesting and in structive to read advertisements, as it enables one to know of the different things that are sold and where to find these things. The man who never lets the pub lic know that he is in business does 1101 deserve the patronage of the public. The man or woman who fails to read the advertisements in his county paper cannot keep up with the times and be posted on the goods that must be bought during the. year. He or she will be as much a back number as the merchant who fails to advertise. Do your shopping early and save the rush. Christmas will be here before you know it.
