The demonstration of the Mallea

This firm in the one week placed
twenty - three of these excellent
ranges in homes of Camden and
Ke shaw county, and the latter part,
of the week had the sales tickets on

I The Want* Ad Did It. Jpjgg
Last week we ran an unusual
number of lost and found ads In
Our, classified column and several
of the. articles mentioned have been
returned to their owners. A young
man near We&tville lcBt a valuable
watch at the fair grounds last week
and inserted a lost ad. The watch
h id fallen into the hands of an hon?
est man and he is now on the road
to its- recovera? Another fellow took
up a pig and inserted a Jtound ad,
hut he says the only trouble he. ex-,
perienced was ; that; too many -people
claimed^ the pig. We^also advertise
on the street but strange to say
no_ one has been here to identify
the money and the finder still has
it. Probably you may lose an ajrtl
c.e of value and if It falls into -hon
est hands the want ad is * sure way
to find same. It's worth taking a.
chance and the price is small.
