W. L. Hembree, Prop. Don’t Chink Because our goods are so pretty and rich looking that the price is way up there out of your reach. Don’t Judge the price of Jewelry, Watches, Clocks, Silverware, etc., of to­ day with the prices of these ar­ ticles five or six years ago. Don’t Stay Away Because of these wrong impres­ sions, but come in and price our goods, and you will be surprised to see how little money it takes to buy a good watch or clock for, or dainty piece of jewelry or beautiful piece of silverware, or rich cut glass. Come in and let us convince .you that the modern “buy for cash and sell for cash” way of doing business is the best wav. Remember our stock is larger and more varied than ever this yeat‘. W m . F.

There wili be some seven participants who will deliver orations, all of them members of the junior and senior classes. Good music will be provided and the program will be one of great interest.
