DOLLARS * *
AND CENTS. . . .
The people of the south are practicing econ
omy to-day more closely than ever, and it is
right. A penny saved is a penny made.
The Way to Save
Pennies is to buy your Fall and Winter Goods
where you can get the biggest value for your
money. Besides you want something that is
stylish and up to date, and the place where all
these qualities are combined is
Thompson Hiles & Co.
Our Mr. Martin has just returned from Cincin
nati where he bought an elegant line of season
able and Stylish goods for the Fall and Winter
trade, which we will offer at Bed rock prices.
We had a magnigicent trade last spring and we
are determined to keep it up.
Low Prices
And a good quality of goods will always draw the
trade, and to these two features in our present
stock we call the especial attention of the public.
It will be to your interest to call and see these
Elegant New Goods
Whether you are ready to buy or not. It
costs you nothing to look, and when you see

Where to Buy.
Why just come right into my store
• and you will be gladly served. My
short profits and quick cash sales have
! gladdened the hearts and brightened
the homes of many buyers and have
stimulated and enabled me to press
i onward buying and selling. Frosty
mornings and biting winds may soon
be coming, but each week fresh goods
will be arriving according to demands,
so that the comforts of life may be bad
at most reasonable prices and in ac
cordance with the customers' strictest
views to economy. The pleasing
■ prospects for a coming administration
of prosperity will not clothe and feed
the homcfolks this fall. The cotton
and other crops will not be plenteous,
yet there will be opportunity for par
ents to teach more thoroughly habits
of industry and economy, and I will
have the opportunity of demonstrating
to my customers that “a friend in
need is a friend indeed.” My rem
nant stock of shoes and other goods
brought over will be offered at half
price. When I bid you goodby I will
expect you to come again for the sale
■ will be of mutual benefit.

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the i
transient nature of the many phys- '
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef
forts—gentle efforts —pleasant efforts— i
rightly directed. There is comfort in !
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis- ;
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
Fsed and gives most general satisfaction,
