A lady dropped into the Hunter
& Moss store, one day this week
and after looking around awhile,
remarked to Mrs. Moss, "Why,
I didn't know you had such nice
things in this town," and she
m de several purchases. Messrs.
Hunter & Moss keep in touch
with the market and with the
needs of their customers, and in
making their puachases, get
nothing but the very best. For
illustration, a few days ago a
shipment ol goods was received
and upon examination was found
below their standard, and it was
immediately returned, and the
market searched for a better se-
ll ction, as they will handle noth-
ing but the best.
Arrangements are being made
for the organization of a Fields
•Club here some time during the
next week.

An initiation and parade of
the Ku Klux Klan was announced
to occur at Coalgate, last night.
Seme of our people contemplated
being present to witness it.
In brief, Preiident Hsrding's reasons for vetoing the S)ldier bo-
nus bill are as follows:
Congress fails to make provision for payment of approximately
S-i.OOO.OCO.OOO required to give men bonus for service in army
during world war.
More than SoOO,000,000 spent in last fiscal year on hospitaliza-
tion, with prospect of approximately same sum required in the
next fiscal year.
3 The tonus measure as passed, if justified, is inadequate and
niggardly, entirely outcf sympathy with what the nation should
oo if such an effort is to be made,
President's suggestion of sales tax to pay bonus met with op-
position™ both houses of Congress and no adequate substitute
has been offered.
5 Public credit undermined with $4,000,000,000 war debts, due to
be paid in this fiscal year, with present prospect that it must
be refunded. Ten billion falling due in next six years.
6 War expenditures and public debts have unbalanced budgets
and a stable basis of national and international finance must be
speedily found.

plating the purchase of clothing
to his right up to the minute
line, just in, through the Press,
this week. Mr. Durham is one
of Wapanuoka's first business
men, and the only one, if we are
not mistaken, now in business

. . . „ . . is needed, and there is no need
put a lot of pep into our news
items each week. Every one1
notice her report in the Press
and World.
These are the ones who re-
ceived the honor as officers in the

High School in 1922-23.
The other members of the class
are Mary Hamer. Irene Harris,
Clifford Cartwright, Treamon
^Hopper, Ruby Dunning, Pauline
Dunning and Ruth Richards. We
have a large class this year and
we are very well pleased with
school and all teachers. We are
a united body of real American
students, very studious during
going anywhere else for good
clothes. Durham has them and
at reasonable prices.
