NV hile tha clouds flew thick and fast.
I la' good ship sailed on the rolling sea,
riiul it might make port at last.
I h Captain stood on the shivering deck;
ihe pilot sat still at his post
While the raging wind swept, Ihro the sails,
And muriuured like an evening ghost.
f i.o skipper gazed at the raging Waves,
As he beheld the quivering mast,
''Ah hov, my lads, cist anchor o'er,
Ural the good ship n;ay hold fast."
J he storm camo«oii with a mighty roar,
As the foaming waves beat high,
With a blinding flash, the lighting leaped,
From the rents of an angry sky.
No moon can now be seen in the sky,
i hick djikness hovers o'er,
iwatchman cries from his post:
"Mi lliiijics we'er near the shore."
A n-a -:.i;!g Round! The waves leap high,

And wished for tile oinin,? day.

Of the sailor boys, and wrecked ship,

Far down beneath the watery hi :e,
Bui t ied beneath the angry deep,'

GET THE HABIT
The l.stof the month and the
l.st of the yaar all accounts
should be adjusted. If you owe
us we expect it. Do not wait for
a statement, we are to bashful
to cary an annfull of statiaents
around town, besides it is a
bad habit, and should not be
practice. If we owe you, you
expert us to call and pay it, or
send it to you, so lets get the
habit of not waiting for state
ments. Thanking all of our
customers for past favors and
promptness in the payment of
their bills, We are very truly,
Davenport Merc. Co.

throwed wide open their doors
the 9th of June 1913. July hah
not dawned until they were do-
ing a nice little business. Their
trade have increased as the
months rol ed by. The month af
Oct- was good, Nov. better and
Dec. extrt good. They have done
what is called a cash business
and built a reputation by selling
goods at living prices, and deal-
ing on the square. The least
child in tlio family can do the
shopping with saftv at their
store. They are preparing to
commence the new year with
even greater prospects.
Mr. Grigsby, the manager, has
many years of experience as
salesman, both retail and whol-
sale, aud throughly understands
how to handle the trade. The
citizens of Davenport and the
country have shown them their
appreciation by their liberal
patronage. The New Era speak a
for them a great business in 1914
