A Special Message From
Griffin Mercantile Company
The Big Department Store
Splendid Values is the Keynote of Our
MEW FALL STOCKS
Early last Spring we decided that our Fall Stocks should be
bought far in advance of the season, so we instructed our buyers
for the various departments to buy, and
BUY HEAVILY
We predicted then that prices would advance greatly, and
that deliveries later would be uncertain, in which we were correct.
Asa result of this foresightedness, and the efforts of our staff
of experienced buyers, we now own and have on display ready
for your inspection an enormous stock of the most
SPLENDID VALUES
it has ever been our pleasure to present to the buying public.
When we say Splendid Values, we mean as well, Extraordinary
and Superlative Values! If you live within 50 miles of Griffin it
will pay you to make a special trip to this store.
This store is, as a group of specialty stores—each of the many departments being under the
management of experts in their particular lines, who are assisted by competent and courteous sales
people. We occupy 56,000 square feet of floor space and our &ock includes
Shoes, Clothing, Dress Material, Ladies’and Children’s Ready
to-Wear Garments, Millinery, Blankets, Underwear, Mill Rem
nants, Furniture, Rugs, Stoves, Organs, Pianos, Funeral Supplies
Buggies, Wagons, Harness, Groceries, Stock Feed, Horses and
Mules.
We urge our patrons to buy their Winter needs early, as pri
ces will surely be higher later and, too, many lines cannot be re
placed on account of war conditions.
Come to Griffin and Spalding County’s Big Fair and make the Big Store headquarters.

should make every sacrifice to streng-
then them. If we cannot fight oursel
ves we can make our dollars fight.
It is a great cause for which Ameri
ca is engaged in this war; it is a great
struggle in which the very hope of the
voorld is bound up that is being waged
in Europe and on the high seas. It
is an honor to have a part in it and
all Americans, all of their lives, will
be proud of the part they had in it or
ashamed of their faiure to do their
part.
The Fourth Loan is a fighting loan.
Every subscriber to the Loan strikes
a blow for Liberty, for Victory.

MR. WATKitiS TELLS OF
TRAVELS IN SCOTLAND
In a letter to Mrs. G. I. Watkins,
of Indian Springs, her son, Ben E.
Watkins, who is connected with the
American Air Service in England, de
scribes in an interesting way his trav
els over parts of England and Scot
land. The letter follows:
177th Squadron, U. S. A. S.
A E. F., England, Aug. 14.
Dear Mother:
You remember some time ago,
while on a short leave of absence, I
visited the Tower of London, West
minster Abbey, St. Paul’s Cathedral,
the Zoological Gardens and many
other places that renewed my knowl
edge of English history. I have just
returned from a longer vacation
through Scotland, finding a letter
from you, papa ond Georgie, which I
perused immediately. My trip carried
me through Blackpool, England, Glas
cow and Edinburgh, by way of Lon
don. Blackpool is a large seaside re
sort not far from Liverpool. From
Glascow I took a circuit tour through
Lock Lomond in a steamer, returning
by rail.
The scenery there is wonderful.
The many hills are covered with pink
and white heather. 1 soon found that
it would not be wise to present a
Scotch lassie with a white one, as that
signifies a proposal. There are num
erous locks around Glascow and the
surrounding scenery is very beautiful.
Then I spent a few days in Edinburgh,
the prettiest place I have seen this
side of the Atlantic.
I could not realize that London is
the largest city in the world after
visiting New York, for the tallest
houses are fourteen storeis high. We
met lots of nice Scotch people while
with the highlanders. The American
Welcome Club receives their visitors
very cordially. Most of the larger
towns support such clubs. I ran
across some Red Cross nurses in Lon
don that seemed as glad to see me as
I was to see them.
We are undergoing intensive train
ing and hope to cross the channel soon
and be at the front. Write soon.
Lovingly,
BEN. E. WATKINS.
COUGHED FIFTEEN YEARS
Coughs that hang on and grow
worse in the night and weaken the
ufferer are relieved by Foley’s Honey
and Tar oftener than by any other
remedy. R. F. Hall, Mabe, Va., writes
“For 15 years I was afflicted with a
troublesome bronchial cough and irri
tation of the throat. Foley’s Honey
and Tar relieved me; after taking
one bottle the cough ceased and has
not returned.” No medicine stands
higher as a family remedy for colds
for children and grown-ups. Car

BY RHEUMATISM
ZiRON Did This Kentucky Gentleman Mori;
Good Than Any Other Medicine.
"Eight years ago I was down wlthl
rheumatism,’* writes M. J. Hutcherson,
of Tomklnsville, Ky. "I was helpless
for three months, unable to even feed
myself. Doctors doctored me and I got
up, but have had bad health ever since,
with soreness and weakness across my
back and in my arms and legs. I final
ly took Zlron, and it has done me
more good than any medicine I have
ever taken, and I intend to take more
of it, for it is the best medicine I ever
used. I have found it just what It is
recommended to be, and I am ready to
tell other suffering people that Zlron
helped me, and anxious to speak a
word of praise for it.”
Zlron actß on the blood and has been
found of great value in Rheumatism,
Indigestion, Anemia and General
Weakness. Zlron puts iron Into the
blood, and iron is needed by your sys
tem to make you strong and healthy.
Ask your druggist about the guaran
tee on the first bottle.
