Necessities

o Cuxuries
Nearly everybody can afford the Necessities of life, blit
only a few can have the luxuries.
Sood Sewing 77/achine
is a necessity in every well regulated home, and every
family can afford one at the prices \v$ make on them, The
high-priced machine—the price and not the machine making
it a luxury—does no better work than our low-priced ma

The Floyds.
Th<( entertainment given at
the academy by the
Wednesday night was first-class
in every respect. Throughout
the evening the audience
treated to marvelous feats
magic that was refreshing
mystifying. This was by
the best entertainment
has had this season.
So far the March winds
failed to show up.
INO. lO.
The League met at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Wight
Tifesday evening.
Mr. and Mrs. Wight received
the guests and entertained them
in their usual cordial manner.
There was that in the very at
mosphere which bespoke a pleas
ant evening.
The program was one of the
best rendered this winter.
The reading by Mr. Butler
was strong and forceful.
The ten g.rls who gave us in
Pantomime the song, “My faith
Looks up to Thee” did exceed
ingly well, their movements be
ing graceful and their facial ex
pression very strong and appro
priate. The Greek pose by the
same girls was the crowning
success of the evening.
The music was splendid and
greatly enjoyed.
There were about sixty pres
ent at this meeting and all went
away feeling that “it was good
to have been there.”
A Business Change.
A business deal was made
here Tuesday through which
Mr. W. T. Merritt purchased
the grocery business of I. A.
Baggett on the corner next to
Wight & Browne’s drug store.
Mr. Merritt has an ad. in this
week’s paper, to which we direct
attention.
