THIS MAY CONCERN YOU!
OAE YEAR AGO TODAY
Just one year ago today tho doorj of our store was thrown open to the
trading public. Since openingg day our store has been crowded. We
have enjoyed a good trade, and for which we are indeed grateful to the
good, people of Waycross and Ware county and surrounding territory. We
iriust say we never dealt with better people. And just at the time
are about to start upon a new year we desire to again call your attention
to the fact, it is our earnest and constant endeavor to please every patron
of this store perfectly—to carry out, in fact, our repeated guarantee of
satisfaction or your money back. So we want to say right now that if any
one has purchased here any article that has not proven to be worth all
we charged them for it, we want the opportunity to make It right.
No dealers any where examine their goods with greater care, and
none are more particular about the kind of goods they sell, but we are
only human, hence we sometimes make mistakes of judgment, and if
have sold anything during the past year that has proven unsatisfactory
in any way we want to know about it. Drop in at your Earliest conven
ience, tell us about it, and we will see to it that you are reimbursed for any
shortcomings in the goods we have sold you.
We realize fully that only by serving you well can we hope to serve you
often and to that end we will labor with might and main. You can come
to our store expecting much—for much is waiting here for you—much in
quality, much in service, much in everything that goes to mak^ satisfac
tion certain for our customers."' We appreciate your patronage. Come
again. Yours to serve, , /
Churchwel! Brothers.

An hour can always be spent In
circus menagerie with great pleasure
and educational advantage to students
of natural history. Theno is no limit
to the lessens to be learned there in
comparative zoology. The trouble is
that people are afraid to ask ques
tions of employes of the common run
of shows for fear of discourteous re
plies. A great deal of interesting and
odd information is thus lost.
Thero need be no fear of such
treatment when the Forepaugh and
Sella Brothers’ circus comes to town

Brodie Fell Seven
Hundred Feet
TIfton, Ga., Oct. 6.—Captain John
Brodie, who does the high {living act
for an amusement company, fell 700
feet from a balloon on the exposition
grounds at 5:15 this afternoon and
was instantly killed. Cnptain Brodie
had just finished his high-dive act and
Professor Gowdy, an aeronaut, was
preparing to ascend. Brodie volun
teered to take tho other balloon for a
race. The ascension was a beautiful
one, both balloons cutting loose to
gether and ascending sido by side only
a few yards apart, a distance of bo-
tween 700 and 1,000 feet when the gun
was fired as a signal for them to cut
loose.
Brodie dropped slightly In advance
of Prof. Gowdy. Tho drop Is made in
a quadruple parachute. He cut loose
the first two safely. Whether the
third became entangled or lack of ex
perience caused him to bungle will
never bo known. The third parachute
