A reporter of tho News, meeting
Mr. C. II. Murphey, a member of the

phey it Son, proceeded to ply him
with the following questions:
“Why is It that your firm has such
large advertisement in to-day’s
Newst You know it is not usual
with you. Wliat is up?
“Well, the truth of tho matter is,
trade has been very dull with us for
the past month. It lias been the
dullest November wo have ever
lmd with one exception, and the
consequence is we have a very large
stock on hand that we are very anx
ious to push off; hence wo have
put down|the prices and put a big
“ad” in your paper to let the people
know we have the goods, and at
prices that will astonish the oldest
inhabitant.”
“You talk pretty blue. You are
not fixing up to break, are you?”
“Oil, no; November is what got
us. September and October were
25 per cent better than last year.”
“How about those specialties you
have been running on so much?”
“We still keep the James Means
$3 shoe. A. A. Battle 12.50 shoe, tho
great $2.99 ladies’ shoo, and our
warranted $2.50 shoe for ladies. We
lead the trado in all new ideas, and
are not content to follow the pro
cession. Just another thing: just
tell your readers that we have just
received the prettiest ladies’ kid
pebble goat and dongola button
hoots for $2 that were ever shown
in Augusta.”
“All right, we will do so.”
We advise all our readers to read
carefully the largo advertisement
of Messrs. N. W. Murphey & Son.
