To Whom it Xay Concern:
Dr. Geo. R. Harding, the old veteran
soldier, preacher and dentist,
now in his seventy-ninth year, still in
active practice of dentistry, having
practiced for and lived with the people
of Columbia, Lexington and surrounding
country for eight years, giving
entire satisfaction to his patients
in the painless extraction of teeth
and all other classes of dental work,
takes this method of informing his
friends that, in consequence of his
health and age, after June 15th will
move his office from 1316 Main street
to his home just beyond Smith's
branch, near Hyatt's Park, where he
has fitted up a firstclass suite of dental
parlors to which he invites all who
wish his skillful and practical experience
in the work of scientific dentistry.
/
The office is situated in EUCLAIR,
the fast growing suburban town, on
the Hyatt Park and Ridgewood car
line, a ride of only twelve minutes
from the Sky Scraper. The fare will
be paid both ways to all persons having
work done by Dr. Harding.
One convenience, which has not
hitherto been in Columbia, is that his
office will be open all the time, Sunday's
included, for the relief of suffering
humanity.
All work done as usual?using the
best material and guaranteeing to
give satisfaction and at the lowest
prices possible. No cement fillings
putin, but the best of gold and silver,
at the same price of the so-called
"Kz-ytio fiiiinor" t.hnt, wpars out in less
WVUW
than six months.
Persons coming from the country,
at a distance, to have work done who'
cannot get through in time to go home
that day, can stay over night with Dr.
Harding's family free of charge.
Call to see the old Doctor; he will
not charge you anything to look at
him?all examinations free. Open all
the time. No gas, no chloroform or
ether used in the painless extraction
of teeth. ^

shot Stone. The negroe's name was
Fowler. Two white men, who were
