The election for representative is over,
and “dry" she went.
The next thing to engage the minds of
the people is the election for President
of the United 8utes, and if each of the
' parties work as faithfully as they did in
our local election they each deserve to
elect their man.
Think of one aide' raising two million
dollars for campaign purposes. Think
how many suits of clothing this would
buy at twenty dollars a suit, with a
cirema hat and a pair of Rockland shoes
thrown in. If every voter in Ware
county gets his hand on this money
any other money, except confederate, let
hire go at once to Frank C-. Owens, the
leading clothier, and get an outfit that
will be suitable for the occasion. Owens
has enough suits to furnish every man
and boy in the county, and » selling
them cheaper than ever before.
Did you sec bow Geo. Wilson's min
strels were dressed. They brought their
clothing with them, but Owens sells the
most perfect fitting garments in Way-
cross. «■
Have you ever bought as good pants
for $4 or $5 as Owens is selling for
Three Dollars a Pair.
