COLLIER’S
EXTRAORDINARY SALE.
This week will bring about some remarkable changes in the price list at Collier’s. You’ll want
to get caught in this price “smash up,” The prices put on merchandise for this 15 day sale will make
some of the old “saygers” rise on their tip-toes in astonishment. This will not be the first time they
have wondered at the Collier way. It’s selling goods at half profit, and the keeping continually at
it, that has made our business what it is for the past 12 years. The little “spurts” don’t count—it’s
that way of doing things the right way that has gained this reputation for itls, and has made “all
roads” lead directly to Collier’s. We’ve been told many times with many superlative terms how
good our advertising is; we think it pretty good advertising—but the best advertising we get is the
advertising we don’t do—“the word-to-mouth” advertising. A sale like this will make a “word-to
mouth advertisement.”

occurred and discovering the taste
of whisky in her month and the

brew” when she was not in a con
dition to take care of herself. —

Dr. l'ierce’s Favorite Prescription has
made thousands of melancholy and mis
erable women cheerful and happy, by
curing the painful womanly diseases
which undermine a woman's health and
strength. It establishes regularity and
so does away with monthly misery. It
dries debilitating drains and so cures
the cause of much womanly weakness.
It heals inflammation and ulceration,
and cures the bearing - down pains,
which are such a source of suffering to
sick women.
" I take (treat pleasure in recommending Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription fOT female weak
ness." writes Mrs. Susannah Permenter. of
Pauls Store, Shelby Cos . Texas. " I was troubled
with bearing-down pains in my back and hip.
for six years, and 1 wrote to Doctor Pierce for
advice I tried his ' Favorite Prescription ’ and
six bottles cured me. I feel like anew person
and 1 thank Dr. Pierce for my health. Life i *
burden to any one without health. 1 have told
a great many of my friends about the great
medicine I took.**
Accept no substitute for "Favorite
Prescription.” There is nothing "just
as good.”

Report from our efficient Treas
er, Mrs. J. L. Kennedy.
The Corresponding Secretary,
Mrs. Otis A. Murphey, who was
delegate to the State Convention
at LaGrange, gave a very interest
ing report of the work done by U.
D. C. during the past year, inspir
ing us to press on with renewed
zeal in our Chapter.
A paper read by our loved pres
ident answered the oft repeated
question, “What are the objects
of the Daughters of the Confeder
acy,” and was full of information.
It was requested for publication
that those who are not members
may learn of the great work.
A beautiful recitation was ren
dered by Mrs. J. A. McCrary with
exquisite pathos and grace.
Comundrums on names of dis
tinguished generals resulted in a
jt ie between Mrs. B. M. Turner,
Mrs. Otis A. Murphey and Miss
Annie McCullough.
After business was over our hos
pitable hostess refreshed the mem
bers with delicious hot chocolate
and sweet wafers, adding much to
the pleasure of a most enjoyable
afternoon.
Now that our chapter has re
sumed fresh interest, we hope to
have many pleasant meetings.
