Durhams and Alderneys. Standing on. the bridge over the Creek, close by the mineral springs, one seems to be looking at a real Troyon cattle painting, true to life. The old colored man, with an Uncle Remus face, the master keeper of the herd, is leading his flock away from the sun-parched fields to the fresher pasture grounds. He says he "bees gittin' old," but his fine, big benevolent eyes keep close watch on each member of his four footed, long-eared family, and he talks to them, calling their names. , The same old handsome Holstein cow is still the leader, heading the seventeen cows, who, dumb as they are, nearly always follow. The other morning one of the handsome black beauties lingered behind for some time. Old Billy hobbled up to her and said, "Bessie, what's you about anyhow; 'ees you 'spectin' anybody? Ain't you 'shamed? Yure jist a bad old girl." Blessings on our caretakers,, be they black or white, who arc doing their best to help us along safely. FEATUE OF GREA Signed August li, 1010.

(First Floor, Central) nPTTTITr ITU ID) TVTUCH of the upholstered furniture we sell A is made in our own workrooms by our own people. We have given this class of furniture a great deal of study. We brought some of the finest overstuffed pieces from Europe, particu larly from England, and when we ripped them open we found them as excellent as they are reputed to be, but not as good as the pieces .we ourselves made. This overstuffed furniture of ours is of the custom-made type, as distinct from the factory-made kind. Everything that goes into it is of the best kind webbing, springs, twine and fillings. The only fillings we'use are clean, curled hair and down no tow, moss or trash; and the workmanship is careful to extremes. We can sell this custom-made furniture for a great deal less than we would have to charge for the same class of goods if we had to buy them from somebody else. In other words, no furniture that would come anywhere near it in quality could be sold for so little. A saving of even 10 per cent on this furniture means more than an apparent saving of twice as much on the kind that is not nearly as good. BEST AUGUST I TIE WORLD IT FURNITURE SALE yggggj r- i Lam!

In the August Bedding Sal Economy Is Based on Quality People who begin to economize in bedding had better be careful not that there is no good bedding at low prices, but that so much low-priced bedding is purposely skimped or curtailed in quality to meet a seeming reduction. All the bedding in our half-yearly sale is of the standard kind we sell all through the year. The only change made is in the prices. If ever you see bedding that seems to be the same as ours, but marked lower, you will invariably find that jn some particular it i3 inferior to ours, through a curtail ment of size or the use of inferior materials. There is no excuse for buying doubtful bedding while bedding of undoubted quality is going in this Sale in unstinted choice at actual reductions from our regular prices. I This applies to all mattresses, pillows, bolsters and springs in our stock. (Sixth l'loor, Chf.tnut) 11 I ? u (Mnln Floor, Central) Hl . r.
