Mr. Ellis, of Morton, was up to
see us Thursday.
McCrory has done more busi
ness this season than any other
two seasons before. We have
gotten trade here this year, that
has always gone to DeView,
Grays, Riverside and Newport.
There is no reason why we
should not do a large volume of
business all the time. Let the
merchants see that the highways
leading into town are in good eon
nition, then business is a cer
tainty. A good, straight road
to Tip, avoiding the sand hills
south of town. A GOOD ROAD
TO PLTMKIN BEND is a good
subject for your consideration.
Gentleman, let this be one of
your resolution for next year
to have good roads to Mccrory.
Deputy Sheriff, Galen Patter
son, of Augusta, was in town
last Sunday. Galen has no birds
in gilded cages, but if that Au
gusta Repair Shop would under
take to repair same, the cages
might be gold.
According to the custom of the

It is well to give your friends anything you wish, but
it is more considerate to give them something that is use
ful; something that will last them all the year ’round and
they will think of you every time they look at the nice pre
sent you gave them. A Nice Rug, a Nice Rocker or an
Easel is something your friends will appreciate. I have
a Nice Line of Smyrna and Moquette Rugs. I have over
Fifty Different Styles and Patterns of Rockers, ranging
in Price from 60 cents’ to $5.00. I have a few Easels left.
I have a few Solid Oak Lamp Stands, with 15 inch tops,
Golden Oak Finish: as long as they last 60 cents. My

complete and my prices are right ^Remember the name.
