Blood Purifier Is Nature's Own
Remedy.
MADE from the best and most powerful
medicinal and curative roots and
herbs of the forest, Dr. J. B. DELVAUX'S
INDIAN BLOOD PURIFIER is truly a
marvelous remedy for the treatment of
all chronic disease in individuals who
have thin blood and have lost their vitality,
and as a tonic it has no equal. It invigorates
the system, overpowers dyspepsiaand
walks roughshod over all ailments
having a tendency to depressed spirits.
Within a radius of 100 miles it has nearly
run an otner preparations irom me market
and is emperor of all family medicine
chests. It cleanses and tones up the
stomach, promotes a healthy action of the
liver, bowels and kidneys, and produces
pure rich blood, thus giving the patient
the strength to withstand the attacks of
diseases. It cures syphilis in auy stage,
scrofula, old sores, piles, shaking chills,
nervous prostration, general debility,
and will prevent malarial fever. This
great remedy has no rival. -Sold in all
nrst-class drug stores, and general coun'

are now covering ever nook aud corner of
the county; or you can get it direct from

THE WISE
WOMAN
mm wivinii warestore
to buy a spring hat simply because
hardware stores sell a few
"springs," yet you hear occasionally
that women are the "weaker
sex.'' From an intellectual view,
this can't be true. The Ladies
know that we run a Shoe and
Clothing store and they know
that in a shoe store they can buy
the kind of shoes they want at a
price commensurate with the
quality desired. Do you ?
THE PARTICULAR MAN

to buy Ready-Made Clothing at
MARSHALL'S is no experiment
; but full value for an honest
dollar. Have you seen our

Take You Long.
IF YOU contemplate buying a Surrey,
Phaeton, Carriage or Buggy you should
not do so?that is if you wish to consult
your own interest?uutil you have seen us.
We believe we can sell you as fine and as
good a Buggy as is sold in this section
for $20 less money than any other dealer.
We mean what we say ana think we can
oonvince you of the truth of the statement
if you will give us a chance. We can sell
you a Buggy as low down as $35, and it is
guaranteed for 12 months, too. The quality
and workmanship of the $35 Buggy is,
of courae, a little off, out the manufacturers
are safe in guaranteeing it. for one year,
because almost any job will run that long.

there has ever been a dry goods business
conducted in this county that has grown
WJ auv;jj piUJJUX blUlio auu uao ujauo ouvu
rapid strides to notoriety as has his business
in the past twelve months. Almost
with a leap and a bound the most reckless
competition has been pushed aside and
STRAUSS'S business is perched on the
highest pinnacle of success. For miles
around people are coming to STRAUSS
to spend their hard earned money, knowing
that their wants and necessities can
be supplied with less money than any
wnere eiae.
People have come to Strauss's and
found the store so crowded as to cause
them to wander elsewhere to make their
purchases, and after a few hours' stroll
in other shops, fell into Strauss's durin
a lull in business, and upon examination
of our goods and prices, have become so
dissatisfied with their trading that they
threatened to take their purchases back
and demand their money. We cannot
wait upon our customers in a minute;
but if you will be patient until we can
reach you, you will get both goods and
priies to satisfy you.
In the past ten days I have picked up a
nuuiDer 01 Dargains, aim as it is my custom
to give the benefits of my experience
and cash, I enumerate a few of these bargains
into today's paper. They will arrive
this week.
Japanese Faus worth 50 cents at only
10 cents.
Ladies' Black Folding Fans at 5 and 10
cents, which prices make the manufacturers
rage.
A job lot of ladies' and misses Colored
Parasols way below wholesale cost.
Gents' Piccadilly Laced Shoes at 98
cents. Less than wholesale price.
Ladies' Button Shoes at 65 cents. I am
satisfied that these shoes cannot be bought
on any other market for double the money,
and the most daring competition can't
shade us.
Men's Black Planters' Hats at 25 cents,
worth 50 cent's anywhere.
The ducks are in the fountain ;
And little gold fish too.
Strauss is selling the fixin's;
"He is sure a huckleberry do."
Boys' Fur Crushers worth 50 cents at
25 cents. H. C. STRAUSS.
