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.

DOING THY DUTY.

In last week’s issue, in looking ‘over the editorials, we noticequit» a lengthy article entitled “From

f^rTT.

Pillar to Post.” In it the writer seems to want to make a great bit on missions and censures tfee clergy of Crawfordsville for not doing their just (?) duty to such as are needy and eulogizes the clergy for “everlastingly hawking missions,” and not being ready to do a turn at band.

Oats sowing continues. Some plowing for corn. Geo. Patton sold hogs Tuesday at $5.00 per cwt.

The assessor is around again, so get your “dog dollar” ready.

Rev. Payne, a colored evangelist, will occupy our pulpit next Sunday morning at eleven o’clock. Como out and hoar him.

There will bo no church at this place Sunday on account of the quarterly meeting at Sugar Grove. Hurry up, Liberty Chapel, or you will make some one lose a prize by there being fewer than five letters in the paper. Misses Lottie Wilson and Opal Quillen of Crawfordsvillo started out last Friday morning for a little horseback ride and finally landed in Linden.

Would it not have been better to educate and christianize such a class as those Russians were in their own country and tongue than to let them roam around through •our cities and country, pilfering and making such commotions as they did? If not, why did not the writer of that article arrange to do some home missionary work while he had a chance and clothe some of those naked babes and give labor to some of the men and women and not wait for a fortnight to pass and then censure others for lack of duty ho could have helped to do?

Miss Sue Kerr is sick with erysipelas at the home of J. L. Meredith’s. The attending physician is Dr. Campbell of West Point. Wc admit the beauty of a woman’s new spring hat most when wo sit behind one in church we can’t see over, around, or through, and wish such hats would be removed from the heads for services.

Mr. and Mrs. Cox and family of Garfield, Mr. and Mrs. Cox of Linden, Elmer Pulliam, Miss May King, Frank and Lettie Wilson, Bert Hole and Jesse’s uncle and grandfather were Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Hole.

Our Sunday School was in receipt of a program last Sunday of the Sunday School Union to be held at Dayton on Friday, April 2G, at 9 o’clock a. m. A lengthy program has been prepared and contains several good speakers, among them Rev. G. W. Switzer. Our pulpit was occupied Sunday morning by Miss Peters, a return missionary from China, being called from her work for safety during the present trouble there. The occasion was the regular Thank Offering Meeting of our W. F. M. Society and was well attended, the church being almost crowded.

Dress Goods arid Silks

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 o-r 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.

Wo think our country well rid of such trash and should willingly pay liberal for such riddance. c4. [The writer of the first article had not the opportunity to aid in clothing those innocent babes and only learned of these conditions through others. — Ed.]

Edwin Kirkpatrick will furnish you with choice Plymouth Rock eggs at 50c per setting of 15.

We agree with Roll’s Run that any one can say “Bill Jones butchered Monday” or “Mr. and Mrs. B. took dinner with Mr. and Mrs. C.
