You can thank us for making the other fellow sell you at cost. We have been for last few years buying about half the cotton that came to Barnesville, and considerable in nearby towns. We, as the trade of Barnesville, know were not in the cotton market from 1886 to 1893, during which time Barnesville receipts diminished from l=>ooo bales per annum to less than and the abuse we heard every day of our cotton mar ket, was mortifying and intolerable; so, we went into the market and made things hum from then until now, increasing our receipts to about 10.000 bales last year, and it is with much pride to us, and an undisputed fact, that we have made Barnesville for the last few years, the best cotton market in Middle Georgia. We have superb and am ple arrangements for this year, and hope to get back to the iSooo mark. So bring your cotton to Bernesville. We are in the market every day, all the time, hot or cold, wet or dry, and if we don’t buy your cotton, you may feel assured the other fellow gave you its full value. We have large and varied stock of goods on hand, and receiving nearly every day. Our W. C. and F. M. Stafford will leave in a few days for Northern and Eastern markets, and with their superb knowl edge of buving, we have no hesitancy in saying we will s low you the largest and nobbiest stock of goods ever seen in Barnesville, and with our large and experienced help, we expect to sell half or more of all the goods sold in Barnesville. Ask your neighbor where he trades and he will tell you at STAFFORD’S. So come along. We will be glad to see you and will serve and treat you right. We guar antee satisfaction. Your friends, J. W. Stafford & Sons. Strife First, Destruction Next. o Pride differs with strife, wherein pride destroys singly—strife by num bers. Pride too, is found generally among numbsculls and ignoramous kind. Our primary for three new city fathers, has started the ball of strife in motion. All six of the as pirants are good citizens, and all six of them need recognition at our hands. However, we can’t nominate but three. There’s some honor attached to the fortunate ones, as we need no figure-heads, but to the contrary, men of ability, energy, and last but not least, we need men that hold the good of our town at heart. Our Pansy flour is pure, wholesome, and not in the least adulterated; therefore, it is good enough for the most fastid eous. Our second large order of Mason's fruit jars are going like chaff before the wind. Don't put off too long the canning ol various fruits and vegetables. Right now is the time. We have made our third large order for fruit jar rubbers, and we sell ’em at 5c per dozen. This is sugar sea son, and if we can't sell you a barrel of granulated, let us weigh 50 or 100 pounds. We have several dozen jelly tumblers that'll go for a pittance. Bring us your chickens, eggs and sweet potatoes. be* REEVES BOYS- Call and Examine^*c=^ W. H.
