If a candidate has no extra good record to exhibit to
the voter, on there is other material from which to chose
a successor, the only excusc that can be advanced for

Doesn't it seem funny that a fellow who has made a
failure of his own business would ask to go to the legisla-
ture to make laws to guide his neighbor on to success. A
man of this character is an unsafe man anywhere, and
should not be given anv position of honor and trust.

It must be that some people are tired of Sam Hays' face
as one of the candidates for Court Clerk has adopted the
slogan "Another face in the same old Place." Sam is not
handsome, but he is not making his race on his beauty but:
on his record, something that cannot be successfully as-
sailed.

We want a good crowd out at the mass convention at
the court house on Saturday, Februaty 19th. We want a
representative from every precinct if possible. You will
not only feel encouraged but your presence will encour-
age others, making the victory easier this fall. We want
to send twelve delegates to Hobart the Saturday following,
and would like them from all parts of the county.

Y0U will be amazed when you see what we have prepared for you^in the way of ad-
ditional reductions for the last BIG day of this BIG sale. There will be Bigger
Bargains than you ever found in your entire buying experience. The sale has been
a success far beyond mr expectations, day after day the same old faces appearing afour
store, and with a smile say: "Well we're back again, justjcouldn't resist the jtemptation,

you can profit by this glorious bargain opportunity. Last week we announced new prices
on a great many item;; which are good for the balance of: the sale, except those jwhich
we have cut deeper. Mr. Herring has written us to mikesthis THE FINAL WEEK and
Saturday the LAST DAY. Drastic reductions have been ordered from headquarters, and
we have obeyed them to the fullest extent. We want each and everyone of our custorwrs
to have the advantage of these final reductions. There are a great many articles in the
stock that you need and which you would buy if would come and look themjover, Do
not blame us if you miss any ol these rare bargains. Remember opportunity is knocking
^Underwear.
If you think that it is too late
to buy winter underwear, we
will offer our entire line of
summer weights at big reduc-
tions. You can come here
now and buy your summer
underwear and enjoy a good
substantial saving. You must
have these goods in a month
or two—why not take advan-
tage of the iow prices.
Dress Goods.
When we tell you that Satur-
day is the last day you will be
able to buy piece goods at the
prices advertised next week,
you should make every effort
to be on hand at the close of
this big sale. The stock cov-
ers all of the wanted materials
and the orices are lower than
you ever bought them before.
The Last Chance. ,
Again we want to call your
attention to the fact that Sat-
urday is the last day of this
sale. Monday morning we
will begin boxing the goods to
ship to other points. Our
hardware stock is beginning
to arrive, and we must move
out the dry goods. LAST
CALL!
Mens Hats.
If you want a bat, Saturday is
the last day you can expect to
get one for almost nothing.
We still have a good, big stock
and will sell them next Satur

Here's another thing that you

Clothing.
When you can buy good cloth-
ing at about half price, can
you think of any reason that
you should pass the opportun-
ity by. Do not put off buying
that new suit later than this
week, for if you do, you will
likely pay twice the amount
that we will ask during the
last days of the Quit Business
Sale.
