How Much Salary Do You Get?
That is a very important question when you go to figure up
what your expenses arc ami how much you will have spent after
all necessaries are paid for. You probably need some few pieces
of furniture nn J after you have bought them of R. A. Jones you
will not have to pay for them only as vou ore able say at the rate
of two or three dollars per month. Consider this matter! There
are thousands of persons buying this way every day and you may
as well be getting the benefit of easy payments as they. If you
have never tried this plan let me show you how easy It is to pay
for goods you really need and you hardly miss the money. You
can furnish your home at W. A. joues and pay by the week or
montli as suits your convenience.

One feature of the light .is far m can
be lenrncd by the Atclm'.-tolte was
the absolute absence of anx thing that
smacked of personalities and harsh
words. Hrom the very bi ginning tlic
light has fioen clean. Hrinris of both
candidates therefore rejo ce that
the matter ended that way. Tho suc-
cess of Douglas may be attributed
partly to the Republican organization
which endowed him for the jilaco.
This ilni'.-i not Imply that Itedlleld was
without pnlitlc.1l strength in the
light us some of the rank and 11 lo ot
the organization lent a helping hnnd
