...YOU...
You have undoubtedly read the account in History
where John Paul Jones gave battle to one of the great
English ships with a meie two mastered schooner of only
ten guns. You will remember that when the fight was
going against him, he jumped into the riggins and shout
ed aloud, “NOW’S THE TIME BOYS, GIVE IT TO ’EM
HARD! GIVE IT TO ’EM HARD!” These few words of
encouragement brought victory to the AMERICANS. The
English ship struck her flag and was towed into part a
CAPTIVE. This bit of history has a very pointed moral
that can be aptly applied to your trading business now and
during the balance of this season. We write this add so
that you may know that“ NOW’S THE TIME”to save money
by trading with us, as we are selling everything, carried
in a general store at a BARGAIN for our customers. All
we ask is a TRIAL. Yours for prosperity,
Comer & Comer.

At a meeting of the school
board not long since, Prof. E. L.
Hays, now of Chappell Hill, Tex
as, was elected principal for the
school term of 1907-8. Prof, flays
comes highly recommended as an
educator and instructor from the
leading educational men of his
native state, Alabama. He was
nine years connected with the
Faulkville Normal College of
Faulkville, Ala., during which
time he was vice president and
president of that institution. No
better recommendations were ever
offered, than those shown our
school board, by Prof. Hays. It
has been rumored that we will
have only a six months term of
school next year. This is a false
statement. The term will begin
about the second Monday in next
September and last eight months.
Prof. Hays will move his family
to this city sometime in the late
summer.

BE A MAN
Foolish spending is the father of
poverty. Do not be ashamed of
hard work. Work for the best
salaries and wages you can get,
but work for half price rather than
be idle. Be your own master, and
do not let society or fashion swallow
up your individuality hat, coat and
boots. Do not eat or wear out all
that you earn. Compel your selfish
body to spare something for
profits sake. Be stingy to your
own appetite, but merciful to
other’s necessities. Help others,
and ask no help for yourself.
See that you are proud. Let your
pride be of the right kind. Be too
proud to wear a coat you cannot
buy; too proud to be in company
that you cannot keep up with in
expenses; too proud to he, or steal,
or cheat; too proud to be stingy :
in short, be a man of integrity and
individuality.
