End Your Hosiery Troubles I
Perhaps you feel that buying hosiery is pretty much of gam-
» e. bornotunes the stockings wear well and sometimes they don’t,
ilmt s the situation when you accept lirnnds that hear no assur
ance of service and quality.
Take the well known lines of hosiery, which you will find here,
ns on example. Stockings with-a reputation behind them will give
twice the wear you will get from most kinds at even higher prices
And wha.’s more, they always look well; they keep their shape and
retain the original beauty of texture.
Your hosiery troubles will be over if you purchase here.

Watermelon shipments are
about over so far as this immed
iate section is Jconcerned. After
this week there will be a few
cars now and then sent to mar
kets but the great majority of
the melons have been shipped
and the growers are now check
ing up to see how they came out
on-the season.
'I he general impression is that
the season was fairly successful.
Prices- were not as high as some
lmd hoped nor were they as high
as they had been m past years.
However our growers leceived
fairly good prices for their . mel
ons and in some instances except
ionally good prices were obtained.
Stood Successful Operation.
Hon. M. L. Ledford was in At
lanta this week, having gone last
Friday to carry his young (laugh
ter, Curtis, to have an x-ray ex
amination made of her right
shoulder which was hurt in a fall
a few weeks ago. The examina
tion showed that a bone wjs biok-
ed inside of it and that it was
necessary for an operation to be
performed, which was done by
Drs. Westmoreland and Hoke, on
last Monday. Latest reports are
that the little lady stood the op
eration fine and is doing nicely.
Mrs. Ledford went up yesterday
to remain until her’ daughter is
able to return home. ...
