Barnesvllle Mercantile Company.
Since moving into our new store our trade, though highly satisfactory before, has almost
doubled in volume. The people appreciate our efforts to provide them with everything they need,
and have learned to regard our place as their headquarters. The wants of the trade is our constant
study, and, without presumption, we claim that yur years of experience and unlimited cash reserve
puts us well in the lead of all professing competitors. Having reaped the rewards of a mammoth
spring business, we will devote the next two months to
Warming Up Things in Warm Weather.
So, without regard to any certain day in the week, or any certain hour in the day, the process
of price-cutting will be continually going on. EVERY DAY WILL BE BARGAIN DAY, and the
same prices will prevail for Ba. in. as for op. m. Our line of WHITE GOODS, EMBROIDERIES
and LACES has caught the trade. This stock is still unbroken, and no customer can afford to
overlook it. As to SHOES, remember we have the exclusive control of L. M. Reynolds men’s fine
shoes, and show Golding & Co’s, ladies and children’s fine shoes and slippers.
No use to say we keep everything. No use to say we discount the other man in price. No use
to promise more courteous attention. But suffice it to say our pleased customer is our best adver
tisement. Always come to see us. BARNESVILLE MERCANTILE CO.

Bean the The Kind You Have Always Bought
Tlie Sail Story of Johnnie ami Ills I jit -
tie Mule.
Johnnie had a little mule,
His hoofs were hard as rock ;
He used to hitch that donkey up
And drive him round the block.
One day the little donkey stopped.
And wouldn’t move a shoe ;
So Johnnie got his pen-knife out
And pricked him just a few.
Now when the donkey felt that knife
He moved himself, you bet,
And Johnnie, he moved, too, he did,
They haven’t found him yet.
