Every garment is well made, cut in the height of the fashions and they guarantee fit and texture. The prices on Ladies suits range from the low priced garment at $5 up to the handsome French novelties at $75. The cloak department is chocked full of rare bargains and it will repay a viBit to it. There is another department which is second to none south of Baltimore. The fine dress hats are from the ablest designers in Paris and New York and with an able designer at the head of their work room they are bound to please both in style and price The other departments are full to overflowing with specialties the like of which were never seen before.

It is with a sad heart we chronicle the death of our dear aod beloved young friend, Hattie Leila, wife of Cleveland Smith. She was born * : 1 O 1 OCt i r\ _ i _ I l April o, ?ooa, auu uieu v^uiouer l? 1905 Sde leaves to mourn ber departure a husband, father, mother, three brothers and three sisters, besides a large circle of relatives and friends. She was a faithful member cf Florence Baptist church, (Lexington Association,) and remained true to her Lord and Master until her spirit took its everlasting flight to that home prepared for all that love God. Her death caused deep grief into the hearts of every one in the community? Hattie was one of those gentle sweet unselfish natures who won love and high respect from all who came in contact with her. Always a warm welcome and a sweet smile awaited you on entering her home. No more will we hear her tender voice or see her sweet face, no more will the hearts of her loved ones be cheered by her sweet smiles and kind attentions. She is gone, and the places which knew her will know ber no more forever, but we comfort ourr selves by knowing that cur loss is her eternal gain. Pastor. Resolutions of Respeot.
