Never before has The Big Store been so well prepared for a season’s business. More thought and time has been given to selection, the varieties displayed are greater and because of larger purchases prices are lower and values offered are better. The store is gaining every day in popular favor and more people are learning they pay less and have more to select from here than anywhere else, and the larger our business grows the lower our prices are, so if you help us to grow you help yourself to buy for less. On this basis we ask your patronage.

Where fewer fancies are being’ used the hue of plain cloths have grown apace and colos have multiplied until there’s no'danger of somberness- We’ve every wanted cloth and almost every wanted shade. We say almost every wanted shade, because we’re truthful about our statements and its seldom we or anyone else can show every shade. We buy goods to sell and often you want them faster than we can get them from the manufacturer or importer. That’s the reason we have to say “almost every shade” sometimes. But even with our truthfulness we’ll show you more than most stores. It will pay you to see our assortment of dress goods. Yes, and silks also. Its wonderful the way black taffetas are selling. The only question is to get them fast enough. We are doing our best to keep a selling line of the guaranteed taffetas, especially the dollar a yard kind.

We like Ye Editor s suggestion in regard to writing for the paper. | There is too much written that is j not news, that is really no good or of interest to the public. It takes some time to properly construct a real news item. Almost any fellow can w’rite that Mr. and Mrs. Blank took dinner with Mr. and Mrs. ‘Crank, Sunday; or, Bill Jones bothered Monday; or, Sam Shirk wont to mill Saturday, etc. | Roll’s Run also sends an account of the meeting and doings of the Meharry Grove committee, but ns almost the same report was in type in the Shawnee Mound letter when Roll’s Run letter was received it is omittcrb—-Ed.]

Wash Goods

If every lady in the county and all the counties adjoining would come just once to see our line of wash staffs it would not be necessary for us to say another word about them this season. Suppose you try the experiment. We are willing they should talk for themselves. They are legion and past our power of description. Everything that an ordinary dry goods store has in wash goods and in addition as many novelties and high class stuffs as any city store. We have showh the line this spring in many towns larger than this and the mail orders we receive daily is proof that this line is appreciated afar from home. Do you know the goodness of the line.
