Steelyarg3 Unearthed.
While ploughing m his fi<*|d a

The pie<e of hickory is about a

the tree from which it came, was
probably used two hundred years
ago by some early settler who had
come to the torests of the South

Don’t you grow weary of the Extravagant clothes talk in the
newspapers?
Isn’t it refreshing to read (lie “ad” of a clothing house that thus
not proclaim that some manufacturer is “busted”?
Isn’t it refreshing to trade with a house that docs not proclaim
we are the only “it” in town—the greatest it, etc?
Isn’t it refreshing that we do not advertise we are over stocked?
We have many refreshing suits here that are a pleasure to show and
sell you, and that will be a pleasure for you to wear. Can’t wo ex¬
pect you for a look?

Too Great a Risk.

someone has died from au attack
of colic or choMramr.rbiis, often
before medicine c'uild be procured
or a physician summoned. A re-

slmuid be kept at hand. The risk
is too great for anyone to take.
