The place where a dollar will buy more goods and better goods
than any store in Barnesville. j* .. t.
WE PLACE OUR PRICES ON A LEVEL WITH WAGES AND
THE PRICE OF FARM PRODUCTS.
Big prices will not do in these hard times, when the rich cannot
afford to waste their Jmoney, and the poor require double
duty of every dollar and every penny.
WHEN there are no hypocrites in churches, no dirt m victuals
and no flees in hog pens, THEN some man may undersell us. j JO
WHEN water runs up-hill, the sunshines at midnight and the
moon at midday; some man may cut under the final figures which we
quote; till then. WE ARE PIE AD QUARTERS FOR BARGAINS.
Our 3tock is three times larger than when we first opened our
store, and our prices LOWER THAN EVER B3FORE.

Read and Reflect.
Something is wrong. Some
thing is radically wrong. We
are speaking of taxes—you
know the rest. The man with
the most, should pay the most.
This is right. So, what can’t
be cured, must be endured.
Stand to the rack, fodder or
no fodder. If you send for
the doctor, take his medicine.
These are old-time logical
facts, characterized by clear
reasoning. We, that raise all
cotton and no corn, will after
a bit, step down and out, and
let the man that raises hog
and hominy, cheese and chick
ens, occupy the front seats.
We are not capable of giving
much advice right here, as we
for two years, farmed our
selves, and farmed hard, too.
We commenced with a few
hundred dollars ahead, and
quit with a few hundred dol
lars behind—cotton at 9 cents
too! Let’s change the thing.
Let’s rotate the thing. Let’s
diversify the thing! Let’s a
dozen of us in each locality
raise the grunter. Another
dozen still, raise the base of
supplies—grain. We’ve got
seed wheat, seed rye, seed
barley and seed oats. Texas
Red Rust Proof seed oats,
bought for Texas Red Rust
Proof seed oats, and they are;
you’re right, they are. We've
sold lots of this stuff lately,
and we’re going to sell lots
more- Fall in line, sow some
now and some after Christmas.
Be thrifty. If money is low
in the till, bring us chickens
and eggs, and most anything
that’ll sell. If you buy a sack
of our Nashville cooked food
for your cow, the butter will
eat better and sell better. We
know what we are talking
about. It’ll do it. Our
smoothirons and fire dogs has
arrived, with lots of new crock
ery, and a great many other
useful trix.

The community is again inflicted with that old Cock and Bull
story—“COST,” We buried it last year with our famous “Telephone
Communication.” but the old hackneyed thing won’t stay dead—we
must bury itagain. What thinking person will believe that a mer
chant whose daily expensee are more than $25.00, can sell at cost
and repeat the performance every year for 6 years in succession ?
This talk about going out of business, closing certain departments,
reducing stock, etc., is the veriest bosh and nonsense. It’s the same
old story—the same clap-trap scheme of deception that has for six
years been perpetrated upon an innocent people-
Now listen. We can’t sell at cost—they can’t sol! at cn st. We
don’t sell at cost—they don’t sell at cost. It’s dollars to doughnuts
that not an item of new merchandise will be bought in Parnesville at
actual New York cost during the balance of the year. We insist that
we don’t sell at cost, but we stake our reputation‘as honest men on
assertion that we will duplicate any article they may offer you at the
same or a lower price.

One of two things is certain. Somebody has to.d a great big
“whopper,” or vve everlastingly cleaned them up when we bought our
goods. Pay your money and take your choice.
We are not going out of the mercantile business we still think
there is money in it. Wo are doing a husti'ng business at the same
old stand, and are selling more goods every day than all the cost
stores combined. Don’t be deceived by this tempting d’s dead
