VOLUME 37.
Success Crowns Effort
The above expression never was more clearly demon
strated than in our Milliner}- Opening. The number of
appreciative visitors has never been seen at a Millinery
display in Barnesville. Our large store rooms were taxed
to their utmost to accommodate the crowd, but the bright
est lining to the whole canopy was the great pile of orders
recorded during the time. Our
Dress Goods, Embroideries
Laces and White Goods
excited the admiration of all. Black and colored wool
goods, Suitings, Silks, etc. attracted much attention be
cause of their elegance in fabric and cheapness in price.
The next and most important feature of our business is
Clothing and Shoes. We are now prepared to suit am
and all in
Mens’ and Boys’ Clothing
MEN’S LADIES’ AND CHILDRENS’
LOW CUT SHOES
Both these lines are new and the latest in style. See our
Straw Hats, Collars, Shirts, and Ties
Before you buy. Remember we give stamps or coupons
with all cash purchases.

Hams
and Lard
We’ve anew Ham —fresh from the packer —which is
‘‘just as good” as any Ham sold and better than a
great many. When we say U just as good we mean
the higher priced goods are no better. Then you
can save a little money by buying Diamond C Hams
and loose nothing in quality. See ? •
Now the pure, white Leaf Lard, (pure like good
old country lard) is better than other consequently,
a little more in price—not much tho\ We think
it’s best to buy. All you need to be convinced of
this fact is a trial. ,
This is some of the things we’ve learned in the
grocery business —how to select the best.

Your doctor fights the disease, and if your pre
scriptions are not filled accurately or with cheap

results. Our facilities for filling prescriptions
are the best in the country and we fill them as
