stomach. A man with good diges-

A great many have been perma-

«
They Come to Wapanucka and Fit Themselves out
for Housekeeping
Grandpa Gives Them The Benefit of His Experience and Foots the Bills
"Miss Summers Polly I—er
dare I"—But the speaker took
a header over bashfullness only
to hear a sweet:
"Yes Charley."
"Can I aspire to-ertothatis"
Again a laspe into silence fol-
lowed by an encouraging;
"Yes Charley."
"Oh, if I might only hope to-
er—"
Another failure of language
it was seemingly a hopeless case
and it might have been only for
a demure.
"Charley, I have said yes
twice if you mean it 1 mean it
too and—"
And to this day that young
man insists that he popped the
question.
All this happened away down
East. It wasn't long before
there was a wedding, not much
longer before there came a let-
ter from Pollys' Foxy Grandpa,
old Grandpa Turner, long a resi-
dent of Johnston County who
wrote abusively of his de-
light at her exhibition of what
he called grit and proposed if
the young couple would locate
in Wapanucka he would start
them in life, as a wedding
gift. Of course they accepted
and were soon bidding their
friends adue. A few weeks sub-
sequent to the above, a travel-
stained party arrived in Wapa-
nucka. Our friend, Foxy Grand-
pa, took charge and led them
straight away to the Hotel Allen.
' 'After breakfast,'' remarked
Foxy Grandpa, "We will go out
and buy your outfit and to ex-
peditematters we will order a rig
of Sims Bros. Livery, Feed and
Sale Stable. The rig arrived
and as Polly views the stylish
turnout with fine horses and a
neatly dressed driver at the reins
she expressed her delight. Sin; s
Bros, have stables at Wapanucka
and Milburn and are in a posi-
tion to take care of the travel-
ing public or the traveling man
to a T whether it be in Auto
service bus or baggage transfer.
Call and get acquainted with
their way of doing business and
if you ever want to run to any
surrounding town or on pleasure
bent go to Sims Brae, for a rig.
"The basis of a home," added
Grandpa, as they entered the
carriage, "is a bit of mother
earth therefore we will lose no
time| in calling on Gibson &
Stewart. K They control city
property that is very desirable
and always have excellent bar-
gains on hand. It is worth your
while to know them for if you
want to buy, rent, sell or ex-
change property they are the
men to call'on as what they tell
yoii can be set down as solid
facts. The visit resulted in in-
teresting Charles in some very
desirable city property, on which
to build and an engagement for
a drive into the country to view
some farm lands in which they
offer Home veretable bargans.
When the home is complete
wo will have them insure it in
one of their first-class companies.
If you need a little ready money
remember they will negociate a
farm loan for you on long time
and at a low rate of interest."
"The next thing is the lumber
necessary in building the new
house on these lots you-bought."
said Grandpa, "so come with
me and I will introduce you to
R. E. Wyrick, Mgr. of W. E.
Thomas Lumber Co., who aie
the principal dealers in that line
here. They carry the mosf com-
plete line of building material in
this section. Everything from
the sills for the foundation to
the shingles for the roof, includ-
ing lime, brick, cement, sash,
doors, certainteed roofing and
the famous Wagoner Paints.
They can also furnish you with
interior decorations at most reas-
onable figures. Mr. Wyrick will
look up a reliable contractor for
you to build the home."
"The home being complete,"
said Foxy Grandpa, "we must
now look to the furnishing for it.
Thereupon Polly; declared she
heard so much of the furniture
and housefurnishings at The
Riley Companys furniture de-
partment that she desired to go
there. The result was they
were ushered into such a neat
display that the girl was puzzled
at first how to select but she
soon purchased a magnificent
parlor suit a bedroom suit in oak,
golden finish, to these she added
iron and folding beds, pictures
and wall ornaments, rugs, mat-
tings, oil cloths and art .squares.
She added a swell buffet, fancy
convenient Kitchen cabinet not
forgetting an ornamental writ-
ting desk for hubby. She in-
spected the dry goods and shoe
departments and on leaving de-
clared that the prices at The
Kiley Company were below the
very whisper of competition."
Especially the mail order com-
petition.
'Mow you cannot live on love
alone in that big house," said
Grandpa, "You must have some-
thing more substantial. At the
grocery he waxed philosophical.
Never neglect your larder said
he, "that important adjunct of
housekeeping controls masculine
temper to that and you must
patronize a grocery firm on whom
you can depend for honest goods
For sometime I have found J.R.
Hunt & Son "The White Front
Grocers" perfectly reliable. ¥ou
will find them in Jtheir el dgant
new quarters full stocked with
everything in staple and fancy
groceries, fresh and first class,
including the Home Rule and
Perfection flour, Maxwell House
Blend and White Swan Coffees,
