Each of these enterprisinp firms makes it a rule every spring and fall to lay in an up-to-date stock of pretty millinery, -coat suits and other seasonable garments which justly attract the attention of the ladies of the community.

The superinten-! dent and a full corps of teachers were on hand early to greet their pupils and assign them to classes. The opening exercises which took place at 9 o'clock in the auditorium were especially interesting, and were well attended by the school's patrons. "America" was sung by the school, after which a passage of Scripture was read by Rev W E Hurt. Follow- j ing the reading Rev P S McChesney i offered an eloquent prayer, at the i?_ -r n rv a ! conclusion 01 which ivev u n. runups addressed the teachers, pupils and patrons in a highly ihteresting manner. Mr N D Lesesne also made j an appropriate talk to the children J in behalf of the board of trustees.

Cottonseed is selling- on the King-j stree market at $22.00 to $24.00 per ton and promises to go higher. A Strong Hint. The dentists all seem to advise j that before going to their office to j have teeth examined or fixed up, all j patients should look around before leaving home and get either a hoe, pickaxe, rake or some suitable brush, and dig up and remove such vegetables and provisions as have been stored on and around the teeth and thereby give the dentist a better chance to find them, that is, if such a performance has not been attended to since last Christmas. X. Card of 1hanks. Mr and Mrs R D Mills wish to thank their many friends for their 1 kindness and sympathy in their re-1 cent bereavement and for the beautiful fioral offerings. Dr R J McCabe, dentist, will be' at Andrews September 27 and will I remain one week. It ! C; ids Do Nut Leave Hillinyly. Because a cold is stubborn is no reason why ymi should be.
