• hi our last advertisement we mentioned the fact that we had made a big purchase of Summer Dress Goods Lorn a large wholesale esiablishmen
of Baltimore, Md., who was overstocked ; that we named prices, they named quantities and that the goods would probably reach Griffin by June Ist. It i s
known all over the country that we have an outlet for great quantities of merchandise and we are often offered by manufacturing establishments and wholesale
beople great inducements. It affords us great pleasure to announce that part of this purchase has arrived, and this morning we will place on sale

I Iso, DIMITIES in solid colors. Take your choice of this lot at 5 cents a yard.

I Nearly eleven thousa:? 1 bushels of corn sold during the month of May by Bass Bros. Co. to the farmers—probably the largest ’corn sales ever re
J orded in Griffin. We recognized the fact that the planterscould not make a crop without corn, so we decided in January that we would supply the demand
fc/hich we knew would be great. We have done it very successfully, though the condition of transportation companies has been bad and water overflows fre
jkient; yet we have been out of corn only five days since March Ist. The oat and wheat crop will doubtless relieve the situation in corn very much and the de-
Band will be very much less. We have 1,000 bushels Corn on hand now as dry as a bone. If you want good Flour come to Bass’for it; we don’t handle sticky flour.
