It is of vital importance that the quality and quantity of the cotton of our
section should be kept at the highest standard. A county with a reputation
for growing fine cotton always has plenty of buyers—competition brings top
prices. After thoroughly investigating SALSBURY Cotton and the high
standing of the firm that produces it, we believe its introduction would be a
great benefit to our community and have undertaken its distribution in this
riciaity.

Gainesville,. Gn.. January 10.—
John R. Quinn, national cormr.Hiu, r.

Edgar B Djnlnp, . tate commardci,
Georgia, department, on the na
tional legislative committee, headed
by Mr. Aaron Sapiro, es California
He leaves for Y/ashington on
Sunday, January 20, to assist in the
fight for ndjvßt-sd c< mj cnsation for
the veterans of the world war. In
regard to the bill now before ten
gTess, Mr. Duma,i elated.
“The gov«*r-n»viu has adjusted the
compensation of the ra boads, of
the war contractors, of tha federal
employees and even the personnel
of the army and navy, but they have
yet to adjust the compncsation of
the great majority of the men who
did the actual fighting. The ex
service man asks no reward for his
services in uniform, if he is
forced to bear his share of the ex
penses of the war, as well as give
his services, if he is forced to pay
his share of the bonus given the
railroads and war contractors, then
he has a just right for an adjust
ment of his compensation. The
people of the United States have
shown that they want this debt to
the ex-service men paid by the en
actment of bonus legislation in
twenty-two states and by various
straw ballots held throughout the
country. It is inevitable legislation
end I am confident that, vvith the
united strength of the entire ex
service population favoring it the
soldiers’ adjusted compensation bill
\ ill be enacted into a law at the
present re. cion of congress.”

Always looking ahead for the best interest of my
customers I run now on a special trip to the eastern mar
kets buying goods for spring and summer as this is the
best market and time to get quality merchandise at low

possible figure—the goods speak for themselves, and at these low prices they
will move quickly. Go to my store now and get what goods the family will
need to last through the cold winter while a great saving in price can be had.
