WESTLAND.

Last Wednesday evening about 125 persons met at the beautiful home of M. C. Butler and wife to give a farewell reception to Mr. and Mrs. John Howard and daughter, Grace. The night was perfect and everybody seemed to partake of the spirit and had a good jolly social time. A few moments were spent in expressing appreciation of the Howards. Mrs. W. P. Binford gave a class poem with fitting parting words to Mr. Howard as a teacher of class 5 in the Sunday school, and a hearty welcome to the new teacher, M. C. Butler. Arthur Gray made a few very fitting remarks on behalf of his class of their appreciation of Miss Grace's services as their teacher. Mrs. J. I. Butler, superintendent and 0. E. Cash assistant superintendent, spoke on behalf of the school in general, and Thad Snow spoke on behalf of the community. After which Mr. and Mrs. Howard and Grace responded tenderly and lovingly. F. N. Edwards then offered prayer on their behalf as they go from us. Then attention was again turned socially. Refreshments of cream and cake were served. At a late hour all turned homeward, feeling it had indeed been good to be there. Bonds of fellowship and christian love were strengthened, and no doubt each one more fully appreciates the fact, "Arose to the livingis more than sumptuous wreathes to the dead."

I Would Rather Show

112-114 W. Main Street Greenfield, Indiana

XtbtC W§

So my invitation to inspect my stock is always in force, and it includes everybody. There is no "special day"—no "best time" to look at my Furniture. Come any time that you please, and stay as long as you are interested. I claim that this stock of mine will do its own arguing, and I would rather show you than tell you. Come expecting to meet an exceptionally worthy showing of Furniture and Rugs. Buy and prove that I offer you opportunities for real economy. My practical experience and low expenses enable me to save you 25 to 50 per cent.

Yours, for Good Goods, at as low if not lower prices than cheap, shoddy goods.
