UP Owing to the recent death of Mary A. Milbum, partrierin the firm of W. V. Hargrove & Co., her estate has to be settled up at once on account of other heirs. These heirs want their part of the estate in money. I, as executor of her will, realize the only way to pay them fe to mark down the goods in the two stores—The Peoples’ Dry Goods Store and Star Clothing House—and turn these two vast stocks into money as soon as possible. On Tuesday, November 22nd, we had both of these stores closed all day marking down prices, and from now on until these two immense stocks are sold will be the greatest, grandest, time for # V m CLOSING

BARGAIN HUNTERS Ever seen in Petersburg. Just think of thousands of dollars worth of new, stylish Clothing, Overcoats, Shoes, Cloaks, Dry Goods and Carpets at the very season when you need them most, for a mere song. These goods are all marked with blue pencil, in plain figures, so you know you pay no more than your neighbor. Take advantage of this great opportunity to lay in your winter’s supply now, while a dollar will do double duty, while a few dollars will fix you out for the cold winter that is before you. I Extra clerks have been engaged, and we will do our best to serve you, yet we ask the public to come as early in the day as possible and exercise patience. Those indebted to above firm will please settle at once. W. V. HARGROVE & CO., Proprietors Peoples’ Dry Goods Store and Star Clothing House, T7". ZEszecuLtor.

Kx-Senator II. J. Wiggs of Arthur, is j reported on the sick list at present. Prank Black it very low with typhoid fever at present. We wish to once more come to the front and say to the republicans of Pike and other counties that free silver is not dead or dying, and that we are uot the least discouraged by the way the elections went,, and that defeat this time means a great victory for us in 1900. Although our orator and statesman William J. Bryau is in the army as a colonel and soldier the memory of him is stUl fresh, and that he will, if needed, run the race again if his country calls for him. which it will, and then with the laurels of victonr and reform he will go to the white house as the champion of free silver beyond a doubt. As it is we are waiting for McKinley's promised prosperity yet. which we have not seen. No Humbug. Foley's Honey and Tar does not claim to perform miracles. It does not claim to cure all eves of consumption or asthma, but it doe* claim to give comfort and relief in advanced stages of these diseases and to usually cure early stages. It is certainly worth trying bv those afflicted or threatened with those dreaded diseases. J. R. Adams A Son. d The three-year old daughter of Johu Bennett, living at Blackburn, died last Sunday.

Two Pointed Questions Answered. Whrtt is the use of uiakiug a better article than your competitor if you cannot get a better price for it? - A ns.—As there is no difference in the price the public will buy only the better, so that while our profits may be smaller on a single sale they will be much greater in the aggregate. How can you get the public to know your make is the best? Ans.—If both articles are brought prominently before the public both are certain to be triyd and the public will very quickly pass judgment on them and use only the belter one. This explains the large sale on Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. The people have beeu using it for years and have found that it can always be depended upon. They may occasionally take up with some fashionable novelty put forth with exaggerated claims, but are certain to return to the oue remedy that they know to be rehable.aud for coughs, colds and croups there is nothing equal to Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.
