There is always more or less competition in every town or city for business, and there is an old saying that “competition is the life of trade,” and; we believe it.
We are not greedy and we do not want or expect all the business, but we want our share, and expect to get it. New goods rolling in every day, and also rolling
out as fast as they arrive. A beautiful line of dainty Dress Goods to arrive this week.

Wheat was so late coming up last
winter that many farmers were fear
ful that it would be too thin, but we

befalls it in the future farmers are
looking for a good harvest.
A much needed warm rain fell Mon
day night which was of great benefit

yet come up. The weather, however,
has been quite cool since, which may
further retard the germination of the
; seeds.
