The county only wants $2.00. The man who waits for the collector to hunt him up at big expense to the comity, must pay the cost. There is no justice nor equity in putting that man on equal footing with him who comes j to the office and pays his Road Tax as he does his State and ; County Tax, I le who fails to pay his State and County Tax ; by the 20th of December each year has an execution issued against him, which cost an additional $1.00, which is paid to the officers who do the work, to wit: The Tax Collector ! and Sheriff. This twenty-rive cents on those who do not pay j by the 10th of May and October, respectfully, will also go to I the officers who collect it.

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. YVe found this out before .we handled the “Queen Quality,’ ’and experience since has confirmed this opinion. There are more l ubes 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 men, 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- by the fact that their sale increases with each season. W hen merit counts, the Crossett is A No. 1. Sold in Thomson by THE T. A. SCOTT CO. Ladies Dress Goods Recently we extended an invitation to the ladies of the community to call and examine out hew spring goods. Several hundred of them accepted the im itation, and we are led to believe that they were well pleased by the fact that there has since been a constant demand for these goods. In some instances the demand has been so great that we have been compelled to utilize the Express Company to replenish. We are willing to compare them with anything in Augusta as to style, quality and price. If you have not done so. we will ho glad for you to call and make a critical examination of our stock. We believe that we can please you as we have pleased others. THE T. A. SCOTT CO, Clothing for Spring And Summer It you see a man well dressed, hut at a moderate cost, the decided propabihty is that he is wearing a suit of STROUSE N BROTHERS CLOTHING. If he is not the decided probability is that he has paid too much for his suit. (ffie of those “just as good as StrousC N Brothers” will either fail in a short while, or you paid from four to six dollars more for the suit than its real worth. Strouse 6c Brothers High Art Clothing have stood the test of years, and the friends that they have made become faster as the seasons come and go. “THE BEST” and “THE CHEAPEST” is the verdict of thousands who will wear nothing else.
