People Are Feeling Better
We wish to thank our customers foi the nice business they are giving us, and for
the way in which they are returning the favors extended during the spring and Summer.
That is right, Boys; keep the good work going on and you will soon be out of debt.
I had a peculiar dream the other night I thought I was walking around in the
under world and I met a bunch of men that looked down cast and in trouble. 1 found out
the trouble; they had been holding cotton and were oweing debts which were two years
old. So, you had better sell cotton while you can get a good price and settle up your old
accounts.
We will soon have a good stock of everything;
new stuff coming in every day too numerous to men-
tion, but come and see for yourself. I think we
have meat enough to run Blair one month, anyway,
now on hand. Don’t forget we buy cotton, giving
you the highest market price.
