A POULTRY AND EGG MARKET
McCrory cannot only boast of
being a first-class cotton market,
but likewise a coming poultry
and egg market. The poultry
industry is 'Fast becoming one of
the leading branches of up-to-date
farming, and we cannot empha
size the fact too strong, that
poultry raising is becoming more
and more profitable all the time,
and urge that more and more of
it be raised for the market.
Mrs. C. J. Ford sent a load of
poultry to McCrory this week,
containing one dozen frying
chickens, one dozen hens and
four dozen geese, and the load
brought $30.00. The poultry was :
sold to the McCrory Feed & Pro
duce Company and Mr. Sturdi
vant assures the people that he
is always in the market for poul
try and eggs, and will pay the j
highest market price. See their
ad every week in this paper.

SHOP EARLY
It has been the custom to wait
until just before Christmas to do
shopping, but the merchants in
form us that this will not be the
case this season as some are al
ready buying their articles now
and having them reserved.
We think this a very wise idea
for those who do so have the ad
vantage of selecting from larger
stocks, greater varieties, and al
so can secure much better service.
Those who get as much pleas
ure out of buying gifts as they do
out of giving them do their shop
ping EARLY. The Christmas
stocks of our advertisers are al
ready so large and extensive that
any Christmas plans can be
started at once most satisfac
torily.
Do YOUR Christmas shopping
NOW and trade with the mer
chants who appreciate your trade
enough to tell yop so through
the columns of vthis, YOUR
HOME paper.
