We are having a pergola built on the lawn of The Advertiser home in Buncombe and. getting words mixed as most children are prone to do, one of th'- Advertiser's little boys ran into tn~ house a few days ago, having been out where the carpenters were working on the pergola, and announced to his ma ma that "Papa is having a purga tory made out in the front yard." Senator B. R. Tillman at Home. Senator and Mr?. B. R. Tillman and their youngest daughter, Miss Sallie Mae Tillman, reached 'heir Trenton home Sunday morning from Washington.

Ile found many bargains that will be given the patrons of these popular stores. Mr. Ruben stein has made very large purch?ses for his ladies' coat suit depart?, ?nt, having decided to give more atten tion to this line than heretofore. Very soon these stylish suits will begin to arrive and and will be dis played at the Rubenstein stores. Watch The Advertiser for the an nouncement of their arrival. Back From New York. Mr. W. H. Turner returned Monday morning after spending several weeks in New York pur chasing fall merchandise for the Corner Store. In the main Mr. Tur ner's trip was very satisfactory. He purchased all of the goods he need ed at practically before-the-war prices, but he had some difficult? in finding certain lines of imported goods and also domestic colored goods in which foreign dyes are .ised. It required some longer than usual to complete the fall purchas es for the Corner Store but Mr. Turner has succeeded in purchasing a stock with which he is satisfied. To say this means a great deal, for Mr. Turner is a discriminating buy er and is not satisfied with anything ?hort of the newest and best. Dr. Prescott's Oats. Dr. W. E. Prescott has planted the Fulghum oats two gears and is entirelv satisfied with this celebrar ed variety. He is offering about 400 bushels of these oats to the farmers of the county for seed at ?1.50 per bushel. No better seed can be found anywhere. He harvested his oats at the proper stage, had them care fully threshed and then passed them through a machine for rempv ing all weed seed and int* : ect grains. Dr. Pre cott has already received several large orders from Georgia and if those desiring Ful ghum oats wait too long the supply may become exhausted. Better com municate with Dr. Prescott at once. Minister Gonzales Tells of Pros perity of Sugar Planters. William Gonzales, the American minister to Cuba, arrived yesterday <>n board the steamship Mexico from Havat.a for his* annual leave of two months. After spending a few days in this city Mr. Gonzales will go to Washington for a short time. "The most interesting thing in Cuba at the present time," said Mr. (-Gonzales, ''is the wonderful ad vance in the price of raw sugar, which commenced with the an nouncement of war, and has con tinued in a steadily upward move. When I left Havana on Saturday sugar was selling at between five and six cents. Unfortunately for the Cuban growers they sold their sugar fur unusually- low prices. A number of planters and bankers, among them several Americans, had poolings' of from 5,u0b lo mon? ihan 200,000 bags, and these men have profit ted enormously." He told of one planter who had been losing heavily, and had debts of over ?l,<JU0,00u, but fortunately had not sold his last year's crop. With the present prices the man sold his sugar and made enough to leave him with more than >"l,U0U, 000 after paying al! of his debts. "It is believed in Cuba that high prices, perhaps not so high as du ring the condition of actual war, but approximating twice the prices of the past year or two, will be maintained tor the next crop, and to a lesser degree for thc two suc ceeding crops. Such tremendous profits as this would place Cobain an exceedingly strong financial con dition in spite of the losses which are now suffered in the dnlness of the tobacco market, which the war oas eau>cd." Mr. Gonzales also spoke of the general conditions throughout the island. The days ol' thc revolution ire ended, he sai '.
