We suggest that each -one of the correspondents some time in the future give a history of the locality from which they write and what the heading of their letter derived its name from.
Now, Brother Possum Ridge scribe, you know ycu are guilty and so confess up liiie a man. Say, it's pretty cold down on the Ridge, isn't it, |wlien it is six degrees above freezing. Say, turn your thermometer over, maybe you have got tit upside down: maybe my mind is not right, but my mind is just good enough toovote the straight Republican ticket in November and don't you forget it.
The Democrats won't talk politics. They only say there is going to be a wonderful change. They reason they don't talk politics is, when they buy a dollar's worth of sugar they get only 00 cents worth of sugar and 40 cents worth of tariff for their dollar. Now you see they have got such a coat of tariff on their tongue that they can't talk plain. There is one Democrat on the creek that is all wool and a yard wide who has a nice flock of sheep and he says it beats thunder that wool was put on the free list and 40 cents on sugar, but he will vote the Democratic ticket all the same.

An Epidemic of Enthusiasm
That's-what it is. It broke out last week when we made our fall announcement and placed on sale our new fall stock at about 20 per cent less than same quality of goods were ever offered in a regular line of merchandise. Every reader of our ad came to see us. Everybody passing stopped. Some folks thought it was a mistake—wrong placards over the goods. Others didn't stop to ask any questions—just quickly said: "I'll take eight yards of that," "Give me that pattern," etc., etc. It was not "just a bit of luck"
011
The following well-known and responsible gentlemen have locked and sealed the cabinet, and mixed the correct key along with those that will not unlock the box: A. F. Ramsey, Pres. of Citizens National Bank I. C. Elston, Pres. of Elston Bank: Ed.<p></p>M'CLAMROCK,

There is no "just luck" about our business. Everything we say, everything we show you as bargains are premeditated, are natural results of certain causes. Those causes -are strict adherence to our business principles, viz: Close watch over the markets, careful buying that we may not have undesirable goods to offer, buying of first hands for cash, selling for the very least we can, believing in the motto, "Large sales and small profits," and last but not least, thoroughly advertising our offerings, and then always having just what we advertise. In this way we have gained the confidence and good will of almost every man, woman and child in Montgomery county and many in adjoining counties, which enables us to do the largest business in this section, and this in turn not only enables but compels us to buy more goods than all our competitors and we buy them cheaper. Therefore it is not "just luck" but results of sound business principles that enables you to buy goods of us cheaper than from any house in the county. We again remark:
It Pays to Trade at the Big Store.
