Wai a Great Success Socially as Weil as
Financially,
The entertainment given by tbe

added much to the pleasure of the

The scheme of the entertainment
was a drawing contest. Not only
was judgment passed upon the ar
tistic talent of the drawer but each
one present guessed what the pic
ture drawu represented. The per
son at the blackboard being blind
folded, caused the guessers to draw
very much upon their imagination
to unfold the name of the artist’s
creation, which aroused great fun
aDd laughter.
The lucky contestants were Miss-
63 Sailie Joe Hurst, Fannie Gresh
am, Rev. W. A. Wray and Mr. John
Humphrey. The consolation prize
was awarded to Mr. W. R. Allen.
The object he drew was unanimous
ly decided to be an umbrella stand,
the resemblance being so perfect
that congratulations greeted him
on every side on his unknown tal
ent. Later it developed, that he
had drawn a churn.
Refreshments were served, after
which the crowd bade each other

selves as having spent a delightful
evening. *

E. SPERLING,
W AYNE6BORO, GEORGIA,
My what a difference. Ten months
ago you started out full ot hopes
and good resolutions. Your resolu
tions were soon gone, but your
hopes wer8 great and prospects
were fine. You planted for ten bales
of cotton to the plow, which you
expected to get 10 cents per pound
for. Six hundred dollars for your
cotton crop to say nothing of corn,
peas, potatoes, watermelons aud
other small crops. In other words
j’ou thought you would make some
thing like fifty “rocks” per month,
besides having most cf your pro
visions at home. No wonder you
were light-hearted and whistled
merrily as you stepped lightly be
hind the plow that turned tbe fer
tile soil that was so sure to bring
you in such a handsome income.
That’s what made you sing—
“Got no money but I will have
some.”
But there was no use of a man
doing so well, stinting himself and
family, when you could get what
you wanted and pay for it when
you sold your cotton. So you went
to town and told the merchant how
much cotton you were planting and
how much cotton you expected to
make. The merchant drew up a
little paper, got you to sign it, and
then you could get anything you
wanted just like you had the money.
And you bought some things that
you could have done without, but
you wanted it and knew you could
pay for it and you got it. But alas
for you, it all went on the book oi
fate with another 25 per cent, on
the regular cash price. And now
your crop is gathered and your
prospective ten bales has come
short by three bales and the ex
pected 10 cents per pound is off 25
per cent and your other crops are
short. In fact everything seems to
be shrunk up except your account
and that is twice as much as you
thought it was, and you bnd your
little cotton |crop hardly equal to
the emergency, to say nothing of
the new buggy and nice furniture
and a hundred and one other things
that you had planned to get to
make your wife and children hap
py.
Thus your hopes that budded so
brightly with the leaves in the
spring have also faded and fallen
with them, and you find yourself
with just a little money and a lot of
of experience, both of which will
greatly benefit you it you will use
them in the right way It is not
the man that makes the most mon
ey that succeeds, but the one that
knows how to spend it. Be sure
you spend each penny where It will
buy the biggest values.
The Cash Concern submits to you
a few prices to consider before you
buy, and if after careful comparison
you find that you can beat them we
advise you to do it, but if you can’t
find better values for the money we
will greatly appreciate your patron
age. We want to show you what
we will do.

are the leaders of low prices,” “we
make quick sales and small profits.”
