To indulge in the things we can't
*.flord is the average man's idea of
poa*ure._
About the poorest and most
worthless of all things in the world
is a human being doing nothing,
simply living on the energy and toil
of his fellow man.
The nuui ■ has money ha*
cares all of his own. If he keeps it
he is called a miser. If he spends
it he is called a spendthrift, and if
he lends it he is called a sucker.
Rejpice not at your neighbor's
afflications and mistakes, for with
them all he may be a warmer mem
ber than yourself just too modest
to say so and you too blind to see
it. __
If the country girl will but fall in
love with the country and stay
there the country boy will be in
clined to stay there and fall in love
with the country girl. But the city
seems to be as great a lure for the
girl as for the boy.

An exchange remarks: "Don't'
marry a woman for her taper fing
ers and lily hands alone, for marri
ed life e.nd its rugged experience
calls for a wife that knows how to
make a pot boil and can spank ba
bies systematically."

A Union county ed:tor recently
recewed the following letter from a
valued subscriber in Kansas who.
it seemd has survived the drouth
"Please find enclosed an un
folded sample sheet of Uncle Sam's
paper of recent issue upon which
you will observe certain figures a~>d
emblems, solid reading matter and
no fiction. No claim is herein
made that this enclosure in weight
or intrinsic value equals your year
ly enclosures to me, but it is cus
tomary for an orthodox subscriber
when he has a $ about his person
for which he can find no present or
future use to shunt it at the editor’s
plethoric purse through the mail
or by some other artful agency and ;
hapless editor seems to have no
idequate means of self-defence."

Wc Have Been
Especially Pleased
With the Character and sour
ces of the compliments recent
ly paid our store.
‘Repeatedly has it been said by visitors
unquestionably qualified to express them
selves, upon the subject, THAT NO other
large collection of furniture in this section
is of such uniform merit, or as widely
representative of the really best sources
or offers more generous measures of
VALUE at the prices asked.
An official tour of inspection and in
vestigation. just completed through the
principal stores and shops of the larger
eastern cities, gives us thebestof reasons
for believing these comments have been
sincere and well founded. Careful com
parisons make us more proud than evei
of our store, and confirm our belief that
nowhere can furniture and accessories
be purchased to better advantage than
here.
Our buyer has just returned from his
Eastern trip, where he bought the largest
stock we have ever had These goods
will be coming in from day to day. so
our store will be full of bright new goods.
We most cordially invite you to write us
about your HOME wants and to look
through our various exhibits, when you
are in Monroe, whether or not you may
desire to buy.
