How Are You Fixed?
Is that cozy little home just as complete
as von would like it? If there is any
one thing lacking it must be a Base
Burner or a Heating Stove. If you care
to think along this line any; suppose you
take a little time and see our leaders; the
“Estate”
positively has no superior, and is
much appreciated on account of its
economical features.
Possibly we have in other styles and cheaper stoves
more than 1,000 in stock. It will give us great pleasure
to show you through at any time.

NO SHERIFF'S SALE]
T FAILURE
For the flrst time In the history
Fulton county, there was no sheriff's
sale at the court house Tuesday, the
regulur monthly date for the sales to be
hold. Though thirty days have passed
since a sale has been held, nil the debts
for which suit was brought have been
paid and there was not the customary
business for the sheriff and his men. As
u. rule, from forty' to a hundred sales
are held. -
When asked what they thought was
the cause of this record, the deputies
stuted that it was undoubtedly brought
about by the great and increasing pros
perity of Fulton county. When men
have quantities of money pouring into
tlieii coffers^ they will pay' their debts
and their pi^perty will not be the sub
ject of sale.
