The new spring goods
are coming iri on every
freight, and we will soon
have the most complete
assortment of merchan
dise ever shown in New-
nan. Among the new
arrivals of this week we
direct especial attention
to the following:
Killarney Dress
Linens—
This material is the
greatest value ever of
fered in a linen-finish
material at the price.
The goods will wash and
wear like all-linen.
Width, 39 inches; price,
15c. A number of imita
tions of this popular
fabric are on the mar
ket, but there is only
one “KILLARNEY.”
See that the name “Kil
larney” is stamped in
green letters on each
yard of the selvedge.
None genuine without
this trade - mark. We
control this material for
this section.

This is a heavy-weight
linen - finished material,
spring-water bleached,
and will give satisfac
tion to the wearer. 33
inches; price, 15c. a yd.
New Embroid
eries—
The new embroideries
are here, and we think
your verdict will be that
it is the best line you
ever saw. Match sets
in cambric, nainsook and
swiss. Dainty baby sets
for infants’ wear. Every
piece of this embroidery
is well finished and made
on the highest grade of
material. The embroid
ery will wear as long as
the garment you put it
on. We invite your in-
pection of these beau
tiful goods.

Some of the prettiest
designs you ever saw in
French val. laces. An
assortment that you will

where. New linen tor
chons in a large variety

ming laces. New nets,
new all-overs.

When you buy silk
gloves, why not get the
best? We are distribu
tors of the celebrated
“Kayser” double-woven
finger-tip gloves. The
tips outwear the gloves.
“W. B.”
Corsets—
There is always satis
faction in knowing that
you carry the best line
of goods of its kind
made. The reputation
of “W. B.” corsets
makes it useless for us
to praise the make. It
is only necessary for us
to say that tfe carry all
the latest models in this
popular corset. A cor
set for every figure, and
satisfaction guaranteed.

IN YOUR
GARDEN
There is no reason why you
shouldn’t have a good garden,
and there is nothing that will
pay you quite as handsomely
on the investment. If your
ground is properly prepared,
if you have it properly work
ed, the only remaining essen
tial is GOOD SEED.
But no matter how fertile
the ground, or how well you
have it tended, it is all wasted
if the seed are poor. When
we say poor seed it does not
necessarily mean old seed.
They may be perfectly fresh,
but poor stock—just as a scrub
and a Jersey are both dows.
We sell GOOD SEED. We
buy our supplies in bulk direct
from D. Landreth & Co., who
have been in the business for
125 consecutive years. We
package them in our place,
giving liberal measure. Wo
guarantee that t hey are fresh,
full measure, and the best that,
money will buy. The most
successful gardeners in New
nan are among our customers.
Are you one of them?

THE ALARM CLOCK.
When you’re Bleeping in the morning:.
Sleeping Roundly, sleeping 1 deep;
When the daylight, comes u-crcepinff
With its stealthy sort o’ereep;
When sweet dreams of peace und comfort
In this morning snooze nbound,
Aren’t you mad when your ularm clock
With u buzz starts ranting ’round?
Don’t you feel like throwing spasms
When that clock begins to go?
Don’t you band iL out some cuss words
Jflst to sort o’ ease your woe?
How you scowl and bow you grumble!
Don’t you wish you had u gun?
Don’t you swear that it’s the biggest
Pest beneath the shining sun?
That’s exactly bow it strikes me
When that clock begins to ring,
And I wish that I could get hold
Of the man who made the thing.
How I’d kick him! how I’d choke him!
How I’d knock him left and right!
That's the way I feel—hut, still, I
Wind the darn thing up each night.
