Yes, our facets toward the east—the rising sun—
the morning.
Past achievements are but a pledge of greater things
to be. Walt Whitman gives it to us on this wise:
“Have the past struggles succeeded? What
has succeeded? Yourself? Your nation? Na
ture?
“Now understand me well—it is provided >>
in the essence of things that from any fruition
of success, no matter what, shall come forth
something to make a greater struggle neces
sary.” '
A trenchant truth, a brace, a stimulus 1
Simplified, boiled down, nutshelled, it means:
"Let's not think for a moment that we can rest on
our oars. Let’s wear the laurels we have won, but not
be satisfied therewith. If we’ve succeeded, success
brings its own obligation to push the battle farther, to
storm heights hitherto untried, to scale walls that have
loomed unattainable in the past.”
Yea, verily. To have wrought well is but a pledge
that we can do more worthily. To have attained is but
an earnest of the greater things yet to be achieved.
We are in debt to our past for its lessons, its victo
ries, its triumphs. And the obligation is thafc\the fu
ture shall be fraught with fuller and finer achieve
ments. i
And so it shall be.
All thru the store these days there’s life and Stir,
hilarious hope and bright enthusiasm.
The merchandise is an inspiration in its manifold
and wonderful forms. It is an education to know it—
to trace its travels, its life-story, its commercial his
tory.
The weird art of the Changeless East in rugs and
carpets is here, and the marvelous mysteries of Per
sian color in tapestries and textiles. Japan sends em
broideries and silks. Ireland from her dewy valleys
sends her finest flax. Gay, delightsome France sends
the work of her ever-competent hands in rich silken
stuffs, lingerie, gloves, garments, hats, ornaments. Eng
land sends her fine and sturdy cloths. Scotland sends
her native plaids in well-wove ginghams, while -her
characteristic doughtiness is revealed in her tough
thick tweeds.
Far-off forests send mahogany by way of American
factories. Craftsmen’s shops send splendid furniture.
California and Australia send wool for the blankets.
Germany sends dolls and toys. Austria and Italy send
objects of decorative art
It’s an assemblage, an exhibition of what the whole
wide world is doing today with its brain and hands, its
foundries and factories, its skill and science.
And to have you come here to inspect and to study
will give us infinite pleasure.
The atmosphere of The Store is cheerful—you’ll en
joy it. We want you to enjoy it. It radiates the spirit
of helpful service.
There’s more in shop-keeping than just mere Give
and Take—lots more. It is just as fine to keep shop
philosophically and optimistically as it is, in its way, to
write an epic. We are not in the business of epic-build
ing, but we are in the business of selling goods—dry
goods. That is our art, and our aim is to do it in the
cheeriest, hopefulest, most helpful way we can.
So now, while everything is bright and fresh and
shining—while the fads and the fancies of the hour are
disporting themselves in their most irresistible fashion
for your delectation—come and take a leisurely stroll
through, make an animated study of them, or have a
regular shopping-spree—just as you like.
Only be sure to come.

IN GREAT NEED
AUGU8TA, Ga., Sept. 21.—The work
of relieving Augusta's flood sufferers
has been turned over to the Associated
Charities. President W. M. Rowland,

remain Idle since the flood. At the laet

Rowland to get from retail grocers
and druggists In that section of the
city a list of the customers they had
been compelled to deny credit, then

Ponce DeLeon Closes
Its Doors and Oates,
And Begins Winter Nap
Pretty Poncy. as ths press agent de
lights to call It, Ponds DeLeon, Atlan
ta's popular amueement resort the
summer gathering place of all Atlanta
and the especial delight end never-
ending Joy of the young folks, has
closed for the season.
Word wep passed around Sunday
afternoon that It wee the laet day of
the season;, that the park would clote
at 11 o'clock In the evening, not to
open again until May. 1*08. perhaps.
The toboggan whirled merrily ell
the
day and as the time came for the doe
In#, all the park hands took turns and
shot around the great device that never
grows old. that holds Its own from tea-
•on to season, regardless of the chang
ing fortunes of the times, the changing
tastes of the public, and all the new
riding devices that may be Installed In
competition.
The circle swing wblszed a farewell
as feet as its motor would allow It and
dropped gracefully to the ground like a
bird In Its descending flight, as the lest
strains of Matthleeeen'e band floated
across the gracefully-eloping terraces
of grass and mingled Its melodies with
the soft perfumes of a hundred beds of
nature's fairest flowers.
The Human Roulette'* discontinu
ance for the season hid In It an ele
ment of the pathetic, a dozen ot more
boys looking on with genuine sorrow as
the novel riding device came to a stop,
for the wheel has been a source of In
expressible Joy to the young foljte. and
particularly those of the male persua
sion.
At midnight all the lights went out.
Monday morning a force of men began
the work of boxing and fencing and
covering all the amusements to protect
them against the elements during the
fell and winter months.
The season has been one of great
success. The crowd* have been uni
formly large, and the park Iteelf has
been Improved In a hundred different
ways.
Never before did Ponce DeLeon boast
as many flower beds and a* pretty
flower beds, never before euch music
as that furnished every afternoon and
every night by Jake Matthleeeen'
splendid band, and the amusements
themselves have about been doubted,
both In number and In attractiveness.
The Human Roulette Wheel. Dream
land. the miniature railroad, tho Studio
of Aerial Statuary, the Three Merry
Widows, Maid of Mystery, the Onion
end the Squeeze—th«se are eome of the
new amusements.
To Hugh Cardoza. general manager,
belongs, of course, moet of the credit
for the unprecedented success of Ponca
DeLeon—a success doubly .deserving ot
credit, when one considers that the
K ark opened on the heels of a financial
entesilon.
In the conduct of tbe park he has
been aided by a corps of splendid
young assistants, among them Jack
Youngs. Francis O'Keeffe. General
Fisher and Hank Cassidy.
