Take The Weekly. * In announcing the arrival and display of our stock of New Fall Merchandise we feel that it is unusually appropriate for us to emphasize the Quality of the goods assembled* We believe that a store like this owes something to the public beyond the mere gathering and selling of merchandise —that it has no business selling poor goods, no matter whether the buyer has discerning judgment or not* We believe it is the duty of a store to make sure its goods are wor’hy before they reach its counters, and that they answer every test of excellence and trustworthiness to which a strict business policy subjects them. Perhaps in all the yeais that we have been in business we have carried this policy to the extreme by measuring every article we sell by the severe test of Quality. Quality is the guiding spirit of this store. Quality first, quality last, quality at all times. Quality is the keynote of our stocks —that honest, dependable quality that carries with it the assurance of lasting satisfaction. If we elect to speak of Quality it is simply because quality is the Chief Manifestation of Economy and Value. What does Quality mean to You when goods are talked of? Quality! Quality of materials and of making. Quality in the raw materials, quality in the finished goods, quality in the designs, quality in the styles, quality so uniform and complete that fabrics, designs and workmanship appear to be the perfection of a single process rather than the miracle of many.

No good thing will the Lord withhold from his children. We are almost persuaded that the best wine is being kept back for the last. Every year of our life has sweeter memories than the one past. We were permitted to visit camp meeting two days and mingle with some of the best people in the world and enjoy some of the best preaching we ever heard. Our heart is running over with thankfulness and glad ness that the Lord has blessed us with so many nice friends and allowed us <% to make this visit, which we had planned so long, and will do us good to remember as long as life shall last, and especially do we appreciate the nice things said to us about our Griffin correspondent. We have taken on, it seems, a stronger hold and will endeavor to do better in every respect in the future and may we meet many more years at Shingleroof and clasp hands in tokens of love and friendship. When we had turned our steps homeward Thursday afternoon we were anxious to get home to those we love. This thought was in our mind: That when our time is out here, will we be that anxious to go to our eternal home. Wouldn’t it be a delightful going home? Mav the Lord help us to trust Him to the end. And last but not least was our trip to Timberridge Sunday last. We were met at the train by our clever and genial friend, Mr. Eddie Taylor, in his Ford. In less time than it takes to tell it we were being royally entertained at his home by his little wife, whom we were sorry to find not well. His four little boys are so manly that These things are carried to ths extreme here. Our selections are made with the greatest care. We search below the surface, looking for weakness and defects. We disregard every article that we believe would in any way prove unworthy when placed to the test of actual use. We know that our care is appreciated by our friends —the buy ing pubhc. We know that people everywhere have learned that buying here is SAFE ; that they can depend on whatever comes from this store, and that our standard of quality means something. Where quality is, satisfaction is, and that is tiie piace to spend your money. And while we do not wish to dismiss the question of price lightlv— for prices here are always consistent with the qualities offered —yet we wish to emphasize that our last word, as well as the first, on goods purchased here must be Quality. We extend to the readers of this paper and the public generally a very cordial invitation to call at the earliest convenient time and view this vast assemblage of Quality Merchandise. one feels that they are with grown ups when talking to them. His mother was also present to add to our pleasure. After a few minutes rest and a cool drink of water we then went to the church where we heard one of the best sermons ever delivered at Timberridge, Rev. M. C. Liddell being the speak er. Six infants were baptized and three members added to the church. After the service the little Ford soon carried us back home where we were invited to the dining room and served a bountiful dinner. Our time being limited, we had to leave early and see our dear friends grandma and Aunt Jane at the home of Mr. J. J. Knight, whom we found in good health for their ages. After an hour or so spent in pleasant conversation we had to say good bye—maybe the last time or it may not be—who knows? But one thing we do know, it will be pleasant to think about as long as life shall last. Our next stop was at Mrs. Sher man Kelly’s, whom we had not seen in twelve years. We were so glad to find her able to be up but sorry we could not stay sever al hours and listen to her tales of Jesus and His love. May she live many more years to bless her home with her presence. So here we are, sitting alone on our porch Monday afternoon. Some would imagine sad and lonely, but not so. We are strengthened beyond measure by our visit and hope some sweet day to come again.
