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.

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, HOLLIS £ HINTON.
