Is there any valid reason wh hy you should go out of town to do your Christ- I mas shopping? For eleven months in the year some people let the local mer- II chants fill their wants. Then about Christmas time they think it necessary to go out of town.

Do ! your Christmas shopping at home. j Mules Coming!-We will have in a car-load oi fresh “Blue Grass Ken- The dollar you send or take out of town seldom comes back. If you spend your dollar in town it stays here. It circulates in the community. It is a I living thing. The dollar goes to the butcher, the baker. It goes to the doc tor. The local merchant with whom you spend it pays it out in wages. It makes for the individual well being. It I makes for the community well being. Therefore circulate your Christmas dol lars in town. Be a community builder. You cannot do any better out of town I than you can right here with our local [ merchants. With that fact confronting | yt u, why hesitate about spending your Christmas dollars with the home mer chants? The local merchants are pro gressive and a part of the community in which you live, and in which you are vitally interested. They’ll give you value received for every dollar you spend. Besides, they’ll circulate that | dollar of yours in town. It will stay here. If you take it out of town you I are injuring the community. You are injuring your neighbor. You are in juring yourself. Circulate your dollar here. Do your Christmas shopping at the home stores. Brimer-Watkins. On Wednesday evening, Dec. 1, at 7:30 o’clock, Miss Velma Brimer and Mr. Naaman Watkins were united in marriage, at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Brimer, of Happy Valley.

Mrs. Buford Brimer wore her wedding gown and Miss Katherine Watkins wore a lovely costume of white satin. Following the ceremony there was a reception. The many hand some and useful presents attested the popularity of the yonng couple, who have the best wishes of everyone. A Guest. Happy Valley, Dec. 7th. Card of Thanks. We wish to thank our friends and neighbors for their many acta of kind ness and for their sympathetic words during the recent illness and upon the death of our dear wife and mother. May God bless each of you. J. A. Bradbury and Family. Ever Struck You— —that a whole lot of money to he borrowed on cotton has got to come from men who wouldn’t know a patch if they were looking right at it? Fact. And here’s why: While cotton is moving, our own funds at home are busy. "They won’t nearly go round for loans. So much more has got to come from somewhere eLe, or that much cotton’s got to be sold quick. Now, the dollar is mighty careful. You can’t blame it. - Conservatism s a trait of the Money family. All the world s after its favor all the time. That s why it can afford to pick and choose its company. Which brings us to the point, as the fellow said when he sat on the tack. Before the European war, a southern banker went to Berlin and asked, What about some money to lend on cotton?" They were polite, and they didn't laugh. But they said they wouldn't choose any cotton loans just then. The southern banker was ready. "What’ll you say if we build a warehouse absolutely proof against fire, weather, thief and time," said he. “And if wc make sure of- the weight and grade and marks and condition and clear ownership of the cotton, said he. And wr " guaran teeing all these details on our own responsibility, said he. WHAT THEI ? , "All the money in the world you want on that scrap of paper, they told him. It s NEGOTIABLE. Lead us to it.” Same thing London. Ditto Paris. , . . , . , . , . Then the war broke out. Cotton couldn’t be sold. This banker couldn t lend to his own customers, even, on the warehouse receipts they offered. So he built temporary warehouses of his own, and began issuing the negotiable receipts. And he found that AMERICAN money—plenty of it—was glad of a chance at those receipts. Lie wouldn't have to call on Europe or wait till after the war. So, like the famous Topsy, we just growed. The bankers name is A. P. Coles. He’s our general manager. We’ve got permanent warehouses now. We offer you safe storage at low rales. Loan money’s waiting. Ever struck you how sometimes things solve themselves? Atlanta Warehouse Co. ASA G. CANDLER. Preiidrnt fi P.O.Box 1483 Ci B_ | Write for Old Bill Bobbin’s Say-So on Cotton
