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‘.

Cla»v ot ’111 Oratorical Canteat.
When the class of 1894 left McMinn
ville college, it contributed a fund, the
interest of which was to be applied to the
payment of prizes in oratory to be known
as the “Class of ’94 Oratorical prize,”
This contest for the current year will be
held at the college chapel Friday evening,
Dec. 10th, at 7:30 o’clock. 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. Three prizes will
be offered of $10, $7.50 and $5 respectively
for the orations which the judges may
decide to be first, second and third in
merit. The income from the fund not
yet being sufficient to pay these prizes in
full, nominal admission of lOcts will be
charged at the door.« Anything in excess
of the amount needed to complete the
prizes which may be received will be
contributed to the fund.
The public is cordially invited to come
and enjoy a pleasant evening at the
college.
