In the last issue of The Ledger we
stated that the Bazaar in the Little
john building was for the benefit o<
a Christmas tree at the First Baptis'
church, when in fact it was to furnish
a room at the Connie Maxwell Or
phanage at Greenwood.
The press of work with the builders
in the city this year rendered it im
possible for them to get on to the
First National Bank building that the
bank intended to build on the east
corner of Limestone and Fredrick
streets. But it is first on the pro.
grame for 1904 It will be 510 feet
front, 90 feet deep and three stories
high. When finished it will be the
most imposing structure in the
city.
We have just completed an adver
tising contract for the Bobbitt Chem

patty manufactures Rheumacide,
which is said to possess unusual mer
it. and makes permanent cures of that
dread ctsease, rheumatism, which is
a very common, painful and danger
ous disease. Our business dtaiings
with the company have been pleasant
and entirely satisfactory in every
respect.

0! A Cooks Reputation
Is the Shortening She Uses
The quality of your food is all important,
as any good cook will tell you. It isn’t so
much what you eat and how much you eat,
but, rather, how it is cooked and how easily
it digests. Food coeked with lard isn’t the
right sort of food for any stomach; it is
sure to cause trouble sooner or later.
On the contrary, the most delicate stom
ach can digest the richest sort of food if
shortened with Cottolene.

Dr. W. P. Andrews, un old, prou •
nant and wealthy citizen of Shelby,

of Mrs. T. D i ven port, •of this city,

Cottolene is pure, palatable, nourishing,
is made from refined vegetable oil and
choice Leef suet, and contains nothing but
that which is healthful and easily assim
ilated.
Just throw your prejudice for untried
things to the winds and ask your grocer
for a pail of Cottolene. If you ever go
back to lard, we’ll miss our guess.
USE $$ LESS. Cottolene being
richer than either lard or cooking
butter, one-third less is required
