Who
Wear Clothes
Might as well buy garments that fit and wear
well as to buy garments that don’t fit and don’t
wear long, either. It’s just as easy and cheap
to make clothes that fit as to make clothes that
don’t It’s only a question of “know how.
We have found a manufacturer who really knows
how to cut and make garments for men and
boys and we’re going to stick to him. If you
want fit*and durability, nobody can suit you
better than we can.

A. B. ADHEM, STOREKEEPER.
Abou Ben Adhem, may bis soul have peace,
Wished often thut his wealth he might in¬

Early each morning he rose and quickly
hied
Himself unto his store, the where he cried
His wares until the eveuing's shadows fell.
But many a dsy poor Adhem falied to sell
Enough to pay expenses; this him sore
Did grieve, and often deep he swore.
Onenight besought his hard an I lonely bed— fed
He was a bachelor; how could a wife be
On snch scant, proU'a as his trade returned?
He slept, but soon awoke; his eyes discerned
A form of wouderous beauty standing near,
The sight, of which tilled Abou Ben with fear

The Softest Thing Vet.
A good story is told on the Rices
in Atlanta- it is a joke for ibe peo¬ Rice
ple, but it is none for Frank
and bia won Charley. The father is
one of Atlanta’s substantial citizens.
He has held office for years and is
one of the city’s tiuly lepreeentative
men. Charley was a candidate for
city clerk, a position which is worth
about $6,000 a year gross, and
probably |3,500 a year net. .1. W.
Phillips and John Collier were also
candidates. There was some rumor
about Phillips drawing out. He was
considered the weak man in the race.
Rice here, according to the story,
went to Phillips and asked him to
stay in the race. As it would be a
personal sacrifice to keep up a losing
fight, Rice here tendered Phillips five
hundred dollarsto reimburse hitn for
continuing in the race. The election
came. Collier, believing that Phil¬
lips was the weak mau, threw what
votes he could pot. get for himself and
could keep from Rice fils to Phillips.
Rice Ills also threw votes to Phil¬
lips under similar conditions. As a
result Phillips was elected. The $500
reimbursed him for all bis campaign
expenses, and he has decidedly the
softest thing going.
Marriage.
