NEW CLOTHING
i A
Time’s up on that summer suit.
You had best come in and let us
show you some of the new fall
models. We certainly have a
handsome line this season. The
latest ideas in material, tailored
in the most approved fashions.
Clothing for the school boy and
his younger brother. You’ll find
our clothing right—correct in
style, well-made, and reasonably
priced.
Slioos
We have a new shoe for boys
that we are introducing in New-
nan this season for the first time.
If you are looking for a shoe that
will stand hard service you’ll find
it here. It is called the “Amer
ican Boy’’—a little higher than
some you’ll see elsewhere, but
the service is there. In fact, we
have never seen one quite so good
before.
Our shoe stock is complete
throughout, for men, women and
children.
Hats
Straw hats have seen better
days. They received their death
blow last Monday. Why not treat
your head to a new headpiece? A
“Hawes” will fill the bill. The
new models are here in the latest
colors. A “Hawes” hat at three
dollars will outwear most five-
dollar hats.
Hosiery
If your children do not wear
“Cadet” stockings, they should.
They are the most practical hose
for wear on the market, made of
good stout yarn, with linen heels,
knees and toes to stand the strain
where most needed, and every
pair absolutely guaranteed. 25c.
a pair, or no more than you pay
for the ordinary kind.
“Interwoven” socks for men
are the same class with the “Ca
det” for children. A double
thickness of yarn is “interwo
ven” in heel and toe, thus mak
ing them hole-proof. They cost
only 25c. a pair.
We sell “Onyx” hose for wo
men, and have some exceptional
values in this line. Of course,
you know the tariff has advanced
the price on all foreign hosiery.
We supplied our needs at old
prices, and hence at 25c. to 50c.
a pair we can give you the same
old numbers.
Neckwear for Women
We’ve gathered together quite
the prettiest line of neckwear for
women you’ve seen in a long
while. There are jabots and
stocks, lace collars and jot col
lars, necklaces of jet, dog collars
of jet. A bewildering variety of
new styles in neckwear.
Fancy Notions
The latest ideas in all sorts of
fancy articles—hair combs, bar
rettes, collar-pins, hand-bags,
belts and beltings.
Dross Trimmings
We honestly believe we have
the most complete line of dress
trimmings ever shown here.
There are jet trimmings, gold
and silver trimmings, colored
laces, spangled trimmings, orna
ments and buttons, buttons, all
kinds of buttons, in the newest
styles.
Corsets
To insure a perfect fit to your
dress wear only "W. B.” corsets.
The newest ideas are embodied in
their fall models. We carry a
complete stock of the popular
styles in “W. B.” corsets.

Too poor to take your home paper?
Well, let’s see about that. Buy a hen,
feed her the scraps and crumbs from
your kitchen table and she will lay
more than enough eggs to pay a year’s
subscription. Then work her up into a
pot pie some day when the preacher
calls to eat dinner with you and she
will pay first cost, thus giving you
your home paper one year as clear
profit. Repeat this process year after
year and see how easy it will be to

We have just received a supply
of winter grass seed, which you
can sow on your Bermuda beds,
or elsewhere, and have a beauti
ful green lawn all winter.
. If you want to plant on Bermu
da beds all you have to do is to
broadcast just before or after a
rain, or wet with garden hose. It
comes thick and beautiful, will
grow all winter, and die down in
the early summer, when Bermu
da comes out, doing no damage
to the Bermuda sod.
1 f you want to plant in an im
planted lot have the ground thor
oughly prepared by plowing and
harrowing, broadcast the seed,
and rake in with a common rake.
If you keep stock, this grass
will make a fine winter pasture,
and will materially increase the
milk and butter yield, if you keep
a cow.
It is time to plant now! Call
and talk the matter over with us,
or ’phone us. We will be glad to
give further information.
