“MONEY-BACK” TALK
We make a study of people’s wants who have to
buy what they eat.
If there is anything special you want, we are
pleased to get it.
We try to get new goods as soon as they are on
the market.
We watch the market constantly, buy where we
can get the cheaper price, and are, therefore, able to
give you the highest grade of goods, at reasonable
prices.
If anything we sell you is not satisfactory, we will
cheerfully exchange it, or pay you back your money.
We deliver everything to your kitchen just as
promptly as possible.
If you can think of something more we can do
which will enable us to please you more, we will gladly
do it.
Can any firm do more by you than this? Do our
customers appreciate it?
THE FACT THAT OUR SALES IN JANUARY
WERE NEARLY FIVE TIMES THOSE OF JULY,
LEAD US TO BELIEVE THEY DO.
We appreciate every penny you entrust us with and
will ever stand ready to accomodate you in any manner
we can.

FURNITURE AND STOVES.
COMPLETE LINE OF ALMOST EVERYTHING
Everybody should live on the
sunny side of their houses as much
as possible; and allow the sun’s
genial rays to penetrate the rooms.
Darkened parlors are fashionable
evils. True, it is gloomy enough
to be ushered into a tomb-like
apartment, where one can scarcely
grope his way to a seat, and to
discover, when his eyes become
accustomed to the dim light, that
every chair and sofa has on its
“duster,” apparently equipped
for traveling to some unknown
land. But ladies must have their
carpets kept bright and fresh, even
if their cheeks are the paler for it!
And so the shutters are tightly
closed, and the heavy curtains
drawn. But for the sake of health
aud beauty, ladies, let this be done
only in the “best parlor.” if it
must be done at all. Let the
rooms where the family live be
cheerful and sunny. No lady
would expect her house plants to
send out full, brilliant blossoms
unless she placed them at a window
where the sunshine would invigor
ate them. No more should she
expect her children to show fresh,
rosy complexions, or to develop
genial dispositions, unless they
live in light, sunny, airy rooms.

Why This Effort?
Why all this effort at getting an
education? Why all this spend
ing of money, erection of build
ings, employment of teachers?
What is to be gained? Is it to
make a scientist who can go forth
into the world and by his knowl
edge be able to control the el
ments and bring them subservient
to man? No not this.
Is it to produce men and women
who can go forth into the field of
Art, and be able to chisel from
marble or draw on canvas, pictures
as grand as those of Michael An
gelo, or a Raphael? No not this.
Is it to send forth men and
women equipped with everything
that goes to make them intelligent,
who are able to answer every ques
tion as to the construction of our
universe, and its age? No, not
this is the end of true education.
The object of the education of
our country, the object of the com
mon schools of our land is to pro

duce men and women endowed
with every element that will assist
to make themselves and the world
better. Endowed with every
thought that will assist mankind
in more thoroughly and systemat
ically working out the end for
which they were erected.
You remember the saying of
Ralph Waldo Emerson, that prime
object of education is to produce
men and women. That does not
mean walking machines; that does
not mean intellectual machines;
but that means men and women
who have hearts as well as minds;
who look beyond the material
things of this world, and look to
humanity and God for the eleva
tion and betterment of mankind.
The common schools of our
country are its foundation stone;
boys and girls today are attending
the schools of our land who never
will, or can, enter any higher
course. According to the census
of 1890, there were over fourteen
million boys and girls attending
the public schools of our land, and
not two per cent of that number
have ever graduated from our
seminaries and colleges in any one
year. Then how necessary is it
that the common school system of
our country should be made better,
flow necessary is it that every
person connected with the mainte
nance or support of our public
schools should be a man or woman
thoroughly equipped for the ser
vice, and should give to it their
best thought. The world today is
seeking men and women who are
honest and uprierht. It will not
make them honest to be educated.
It will not make them upright to
be intellectual. The training they
receive must come from persons
themselves who know what hones
ty and uprightness means, and
if.

TO THE DEMOCRATS OF
WOODRUFF COUNTY.
The constantly recurring de
mand for “food and clothing”
impels me to ask at your hands
the office of county treasurer. I am
not so old,nor yet so disabled that I
cannot render you as good service
as I have in the past; nor have I as
yet come to beleive that a public offi
cer is other than a public servant,
dependent on and accountable to
the whole people—his constituency.
In the plan 8 and economy of our
civil government, yon are called
and required to elect a county
treasurer. The question of costs
does not enter into the account in
making your'selection.
You must have a county treas
urer, and I earnestly solicit,—Yea,
I would entreat,—that you make
me your choice for that position,
in our coming primary election.
Respectfully,
C. B. Mills.

books, is requested to name her
selection to some member of the

It should be the aim of every
young person to find an entrance
into good society. By good we
do not mean fashionable society.
That often merits least of all this
honorable title. A good social
circle is one where sound princi
ples, refined manners, and intelli
gent ideas are the characteristics
of its members. Many a young
man has gone to ruin by choosing
the society of the low and vulgar,
instead of those whose influence
would be elevating. It is always
so easy to fall into evil, but often
it requires hard work to gain a
sure footing in a refined circle.
But the end is with the effect.
If a young man desires to sharpen
his intellect, he will find that a
judicious mingling with society
will do this better than digging
forever over his books. There is
a wonderful amount of electricity
in the social atmosphere, and the
galvanic battery of the social cir
cle will not fail to elicit many
brilliant sparkles. If one de
sires to improve in manners he
can never do so except by ming
ling with the refined and good.
Diffidence often keeps back those
who have in early life but few
social advantages. The only way
to overcome this painful difficulty
is to plunge in. It is one of the
most easily cured of all maladies.
A bath in the bracing ocean of
social life will enable a person to
keep his footing bravely. Your
chances of success iu life will be
ten fold greater if you have se
cured a wide circle of friends by
your obliging, gentlemanly man
ners. No one cares about trusting
or recommending a person of
whom they know little or nothing
except that they exist iu the same
community. You will often ad
vance your interests more by
spending a social evening in a re
spectable family, tliau you will by
sitting in your room and pouring
over your money matters, or
writing a whole package of busi
ness letters.
