George MoC. \Y itherspoon, which has cast a gloom over thin entire community, will l?c greatly lamented throughout the county and wherever ho was known. A friend who was with him in the hour of , death, writes, in another column, a sketch of this remarkable and excellent man's life. What more can we say than he has said? You often wonder why Gannon can sell things so cheap. The telegram from New York which appears in his new ad. in this issue explains the matter which , has so often puzzled you. 11is , buyers there are always on the ( alert and buy tor him, almost for ( a song, such merchandise as he can handle on this market. See the bargains he is offering now. Married in the Baptist church at Heath Spring at 1 o'clock p. '1M 1 i . % ** in., mi i iiiirmiur mm, oy Kev | S. W.

As they say in their ad. they are the people's friends. The enormous trade the Company is getting shows that the people realize, and - * ' i appreciate the fact. Their many j clerks in their four large stores are kept busy all the time. This would not be the case if the peo- , m pie were not getting bargains from them. In this issue of the Ledger they post you on their prices in every department. Prices are piloted on dress goods, cloth i ing, shoes, notions, underwear, furniture, etc, etc. Merchants, who think or know they can be undersold by any of their com- j petitors, never do this. You never tiiul a merchant advertising his prices who knows that his competitors can undersell him. I The fact that the Pannets' Batik-J' intr and Mercantile Co., buy ail their ooods for SPOT CASH, ^rettinj; the bio discounts, jjives tliem assurance tha* they cannot be undersold and makes them bold in publishing their prices in the papers.

Common carelessness lets the cold root and grow. Common carelessness says, between paroxysms of coughing, " It will be all right in a day or ; two," ami the common end is conI firmed lung trouble, perhaps consumption. The common-sense treatment of a common cold is a prompt 1 close of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.
