ciate your call upon us.

A Lesson
in Bargains
To be taught those who will be taught
during the next few weeks.
Our Hat stock is hard to beat—Neat, New
and Complete—and as low as low can be.
Quite a nice
Line of Dry Goods and Notions
Are now on our shelves and we do not
expect them to reman there long if very
low prices will usher them out. Those
we have now—at your price and they are
gone.
Our Shoes are Nice and Stylish,
new and good, As we make this line a
a special specialty we defy competition.
We shall sell shoes at a price that will
cause the buyer to laugh and rejoice and
our competitors to stand and wonder.
Come in friends—price, buy and cairy off'.
Also we have a general
Line of Groceries and Confectioneries,
which we are always glad to swap for dol-
lars. Our fancy candies are in the lead
here—all owing to the fact that they get
fresh goods and a heap for a dime.
Highest prices given for hides, either fresh
or dried.

What Shall I Buy?
Just now this is the moment
questioji. It devolves itself upon
mothers, fathers and all to ans-
wer. The Advance will not as-
sume to tell its renders what to
buv, but will suggest that par-
and appropriate goods in any of
the „M on Railroad street be¬
tween College and Monroe Ave-
—
b ..... 1 „ erdiai , ts ,„ ve ^ ?d
neither pains nor money in their
efforts to alibi'd the people of
Worth and adjoining counties an
opportunity of finding just what
they need to please the fancy of
the baby, boys, girls, young men,
young ladies, and last but by no
means least, mothers and fath¬
ers.
There is no necessity for any¬
body to go or send elsewhere for
their Christinas goods. Our mer¬
chants. each one of them, has a
complete assortment of holiday
novelties, and they are ottering
their goods as cheap as they can
be bought in the cities.
There is an old adage which
contains a vast amount of wisdom,
“a fool and his money soon part.”
For a person to go elsewhere than
Ashburn to purchase their goods,
they will pay as much—in manv
instances more—and in addition
their traveling expenses. Don’t,
let the above adage apply to any
of the Advance readers; instead
demonstrate your wisdom in coin¬
ing to Ashburn to buy your goods,
where you always get your mon¬
ey’s worth.
Remember Ashburn merchants
carry some of everything except,
liquors, cards, cigarettes and dy¬
namite.

giving day, lias this to say of our
city: “Leaving Tyty Thursday
morning we drove to Ashburn the
place of appointment for Nov.
80th, and notwithstanding the
fact that, it was Thanksgiving day,
quite a large number of the good
people of t he 2nd district and the
hustling town of Ashlmrn w'ero
on hand, clamoring for their tax
receipts and while in the midst of
a rush of work a nice little note
was received inviting us to a
Thanksgiving dinner at the I’in-
nix House, which was accepted
with alacrity. Our reception was
cordial, the dinner was excellent
and highly enjoyed. * * One
of the most note-worthy objects
that, meets the eye of one visiting
Ash burn is the handsome large
brick school building, situated on
a hill in the eastern part of the
city, and while we did not have
time to visit the building wo arc
satisfied that it, is equal if not su¬
perior to any school building in
southwest Georgia and is a mon¬
ument to the educational interest
of the good people of this live
town.”
