M Milestone ffio- 1 Another stage of development is completed and another is begun. The sketch of oiir first year dotted with epochs, superinduced by constant devotion to highest aims.

We are most grateful to the people of Richmond and especially to the automobile owners who have so generously and faithfully patronized and helped us in every possible way to make the close of our first year, one that will be fitting as a masterpiece in our business career. And, kind reader, everything did not come in leaps and bounds the road was not so smooth but we set out in the beginning to make our first year a most successful one and now that we have come to its close, we find that our efforts have been well repaid, and now we start out to make our second year bigger and more successful than the one just completed, but to do this is not an easy task, and we find that it must take hard work, but we are prepared and ready for whatever may come. We have in the preceding paragraphs told you how grateful we were to you, but then if we had not rendered you the service, sold you the high grade merchandise, and charged you only reasonable prices, and if our mechanics had failed to properly repair your car, then you would not have come to us for your work. You would have without a doubt stayed away from us and taken your business elsewhere, but such was not the case. We at all times rendered a service that could not be equalled in this section of the state. We sold you the best Automobile Supplies and materials that the world's greatest manufacturers produce. We charged you prices that were reasonable, and our expert mechanics did your work with absolute satisfaction. We are more than pleased to think that the kind of service we rendered was appreciated, and in the future, commencing today we are going to strive on and on to serve you in a way that will be absolutely unequalled anywhere. We are going to sell to you the best grades of materials obtainable. We are going to charge you prices that will always be found reasonable, and our mechanics are going to try harder and harder to repair your cars in a way that they will give you more than complete satisfaction. We had your business for the past year and we want it again for the rest of the years that we are in this business and if service, honest treatment and reasonable prices will hold you with us, then we will surely have you. And in closing if you will permit, we again wish to thank you, and extend you our best wishes to enjoy such a success as we have had. And just this as a reminderour motto will always be. , SERVICE FIRST COURTESY ALWAYS E. 0. Spangler and J. Morris Jones

unanimous opinion of those who have taken in the attractions this week, and no show compary which has ever visited Richmond has made such a big hit. The fact that all of the exhibits are clean and free from vulgar features has had a great deal to do with the success of the Druids' affair, hundreds of representative citizens who are seldom seen at such events having been conspicuous on the grounds each evening. The committee of the Druids In charge of the carnival are elated at the success with which their efforts have been crowned and it is stated that the local lodge will earn a tidy sum from the shows' proceeds.

1831, and departed this life July 28th. 1916, aged 85 years, 2 months and 17 days. She leaves one sister, Rachel M. Shugart, nephews, nieces, stepchildren and step-grandchildren, to whom she had endeared herself by her kindly ways. She was united in marriage to William Brooks who long age preceeded her to the better land. Hers was a life of selfsacrifice, always thinking of others and forgetful of self, taking her place as a girl of fifteen at the head of her father's family, tenderly caring for the younger brother and sister, proving herself a mother as well as sister. Among the pioneers of Methodism she united with the M. E. church in her girlhood, when there were no church buildings, and their places of worship were in the home of Daniel B. Crawford and other members of the church. All her life she has shown that sweet Christian spirit of the Christ she so early learned to love. In her declining years she has been tenderly cared for by her stepchildren and grandchildren, and especially the stepdaughter, Huldah with whom she lived. i : R. M. S. ' ;r--if'H-it Aug. 5-n
