20 PER CENT OFF!
Owing to a decline in cotton we have decided to cut 20 per cent off regular
prices on our stock which comprises everything in up-to-date and substantial
Merchandise.
We dislike to be forced to sacrifice our slock but under the circumstances we believe it is the thing to do,
as we must reduce our stock. We have bought by the car load and while business to date has doubled pre¬
vious years, we propose to close out our goods for next 30 days at a reduction that will be worthy of every
buyer's attention and patronage. This is done in order to be ready for Spring Goods which have already been
bought and will be put on sale January 15th. 1905.

One more Thanksgiving come
and gone. The year has*brought
around a good many changes,
and I guess there is a great many
of us who wonder where we will
be next Thanksgiving day, if we
will enjoy it as much as we did
this one.
The men members of the Pine
cliff church promised to n-,eet on
Thanksgiving day and all work
on our new church. How many
met, only three? See there!
Some people don’t count their
promises no more than they do a
pie crust as far as breaking them
is concerned. Read what Chas.
McKay says about what might
be done:
“What might be done if men were wise,
What glorious deeds my suffering
friends,
Would they unite, In love and right,
And cease their sooru of one another.
“The meanest wretch that ever trod,
The deepest sunk in guilt and sorrow,
Might stand erect, In-self respect.
And share the teeming world tomor¬
row.
“What might be done? This might be
done,
And more than this, my suffering
brother,
More than the tongue e’er said or sung,
If men w r ere wise and loved each
other.”
Aunt Jane thinks there would
be mere work done on the church,
if the members loved each other.

Our Baptist brethren are^o be
congratulated for the unerr¬
ing faith and dependence they
have placed in their God since
the loss of their beautiful house
of worship. Yes, they trusted it
all to him and he has seen fit to
place the pulpit in the old brick
store of Mr. Will Flemming. Af¬
ter both Sunday Schools had ad¬
journed last Sunday a. m., and
a large crowd had gathered at
the Baptist’s place of worship, a
man, in asence a stranger, arose
and faced the audienoe with a
faco so pleasing it seemed that
we could see “Jesus” plainly
written over it. This man had
a message fiom God addressed to
the B&conton people. The pack¬
age was opened and in it was
found a sermon, pure and rich,
deep, yet simple, eloquent and
plain. Another very able sermon
was delivered Sunday night by
the same man, but not until the
Leaguers had met at the Metho¬
dist church and listened to a very
affective missionary program con¬
ducted by Mrs. C. K. Daniels,
president of the Ladies’ Mission¬
ary Society at this place. The
brotner, of whom we have already
spoken well, is welcomed with
warm hands and open hearts,
as pastoi here for another year.
