Shaver has been in the newspaper but
mess long enough to know a good thing
when he sees it. He very wisely says:
“l'he man who cannot afford to advertise

The Argus is indebted to Mr. Frank
Summerour for a case of delicious canned

best of the kind in the land. Henry
Trotter, of Chattanooga, says they are the
best canned goods his firm ever handled.
A few evenings since, two young Dal

young ladies with whom they had an
engagement. When they approached the,
house, they were surprised to see the*
parlor darkened, no light anywhere.

On With the Dance.
With every shoulder to the wheel,
the buisiness world moves on again.
Prosperity perches on the banners of
Dalton. Every year has some ad
vantages. This season has some
good points to offer. One in particu
lar, that everybody is interested in.
The past depression has had the effect
of cheapening prices, especially in
our line. The manufacturers have
been anxious to sell, and we have
bought largely and very cheap. We
are giving our customers the benefits
of the profits we have made in buying
cheap. So, if you think of furnishing
your house, now is the time. We are
prepared to do you good.

For Mayor.
. I hereby announce myself as a candi
date for Mayor of the city of Dalton, at
the election December 13th. I believe
that the expenditures of our city govern
ment, the salaries of its officials and the
taxes of the people have been too great
in the past; and, especially in view of
the hard times and the reductions J
retrenchments met on every hand, and
will run on a retrenchment platform—
for a reduction iu salaries of officials and
a reduction iu city taxes.

menu to the People.
We want to make you a sensible an
nouncement—one that has reason in
it. You are going to buy a few holi
day goods—not many ; the times are
to hard to indulge in luxuries, but
yon are going to buy a few, and we
want to sell them to you. We only
ask a chance to show you and then if
we do not please you
BOTH IN GOODS AND IN PRICES
we will be satisfied. We have bought
the most beautiful line of
holiday- goods
that Dalton has ever seen and we
selected them from some of the larg

pleasing our friends and customers-
In order to meet the competition
that always bobs up at Christmas
time and bobs down until it is lost
forever, we are not going to give any
one a chance to sell as cheap as we
do.
WHY?
Well, we know where every dollar’s
worth of goods that will be sold in
this line was bought, we know the
prices paid, and that gives us a
chance to undersell anyone or any
concern, and if we lose money by it,
you will be the gainer. If you want
job lots, we have them, if you want
fine goods we have them.
WE M’iLL OFFER THIS WEEK
