The Value Of
A Check Account
Every person who receives and pays out money should
have a check account, but there are many people, not only
business and professional men, but salaried employees, far
mers, and housewives, to whom such an account would be
a great help and convenience, who, for some reason have
failed to take advantage of their opportunity.
Payment by check is the most practical, convenient, and
safest method of handling all financial transactions, whether
of a business or a personal nature. Come in and see us at
any time. Open an account if you wish, with what
you have on hand.

THE Commutation Road Tax for 1909 will be $250, which
may be paid for $2.00:—$1.00 by the 10th of May and $1.00
by the tenth of October.
If the first is not paid to the Ordinary
collectors will be sent out after that
$1.25. The county only warns $2.00.

of time in order to serve the convenience of those intending

Shoes For Spring.
You must have Shots. Then why not have the best value
for the money? In the selection of our lines we have been
particular to look after the interest of our customers, for the
simple reason that a' satisfied customer is the best advertise
ment. A lady who once wears Queen Quality shoes will
wear no others. We found this out before we handled the
“Queen Quality,’ ’and experience since has confirmed this
opinion. There are more ladies wearing Queen Quality
shoes to-day than ever before. The reason: A customer
once made is a customes forever.
Shoes for Men.
Men must wear shoes even though the weather is warm.
There are shoes that sell at higher prices than the Crossett
shoe for mens but there are no better shoes. When it comes
to value there are none higher than the Crossett, while the
price is moderate. The fact that the Crossett is the most
popular shoe for men sold in McDuffie County, is evidenced
1 by the fact that their sale increases with each season. When
merit counts, the Crossett is A No. 1. Sold in Thomson by
