SIGNS OF GOOD LUCK
They count for might little in reality. They’re only “signs” after all. The lucky man is he who uses good sense
and takes advantage of the opportunities that come his way. This advertisement brings you just the opportunity you’ve
been looking for. If price and quality direct your buying I have it. Do not take my word. I submit,the sure method to
determine the best price,is to figure with all competitions. After I’ve made you a price you will not want to trade elsewhere.
In other words I do not try to get MORE or LESS cut of you. If you can get better prices elsewhere you have a bargain.
!
OUR MOTTO: TO LIVE AND LET LIVE.
Here’s the argument after all, trade with home people and keep the money at home. No merchant a thousand miles
from you will take the interest and pleasure in trying to please you as a home merchant. I carry a stock of everything
oplease you. I make prices to get your business and you will make no mistake when you trade with me.

Bie ® Barbecue Green’s
Spring. #
Manleys, McEnt. ires,Bur-
russ and Green’s Invit¬
ed Nearly Everybody
in Carnesville and
Community to the
•/
Barbecue.
The people of Carnesville and
community believe in cultiva-
t j n g the social side of life and
^ $aam g0;)d rip . for cues
they could not cui this feature
out.
The Manleys, McEntires, Bur-
russ, Wetbrooks and Greens de¬
cided on a date for their annual
cue. H. T. Manley with an eye
for pleasure and entertainment
circulated a list on which every
body in Carnseville were invit¬
ed. The result was that
thing was sufficient for an
old time barbecue with plen-
tj carcasses and Brunswick
stew, with all other necessary
eatables. Tuesday August the
17th was the day set, it also
being Mr. George Green’s 76th
birthdaj. The place selected
was in the shady grove at the
Green’s spring near the beauti¬
ful scenery at Long Bridge.
These families took quite an ac¬
tive part in making the occasion
a decided success. Dr. L. D.
Gale superintended the cook¬
ing, At an early hour teams
began t0 tak * out the citize ^
to this suburban resort. By
noon nearly all of Carnesville
and a large part of the citizens
ot the community had arrived.
The air was laden with the rich
Oder arising from an old fash¬
ion barbecue—everything being
well cooked. To describe the
procedure when the dinner
hour arrived would be impossi¬
ble. Suffice it to say that there
was many basketful left after
all had enjoyed to the the “full¬
est extent” the greatest barbe¬
cue ever held at that place,
One feature of the day vere
Dr. L. 1). Gale and H. B.
Green’s effort to get their mon-
e y’s worth and also a fair return i
for the efficient work they had
done In superintending the cue.
The verdict of those who ob¬
served their performance from
noon on was that they balanced
the accounts before they closed,
Every one’s deportment proved
k e y 0n( j the shadow of a doubt
that previous preparation for an
event of any kind is a sure road
to success. Atlanta, Rome,
Athens, Commerce, Elberton,
Maysville and other towns were
well represented.
Mirth and happiness crowned
the occasion, good feeling reign-
ed surpreme, and all join in the
call for this occassion to contin-
| ue to be made annual. J
