Jnst say to the people of Lexington county and to the public generally that the Doctor has frnm V?ia thrpp months' ill ness and is at his office, near Smith's branch, near Hyatt's Park, near Trolly cars; ten minutes ride from the Transfer Station.

Tell them not to notice advertised prices but go to him. The price can be fixed after we know what is to be done. Just say to those who read this, that Dr. Harding does work at the poor man's price, live and ? let live. Yours respectfully. Dr. G. R.

If we g > ve are hypocrites. If we remain in tun office, we ought to go out and hustle. If we go out, then we wear old clothes they laugh at us.
