that is just what we are doiDg,

sistently recognized the value of
The Ftlton County News as a
disseminator of local news, and
has paid us this peer of all com
pliments in a kind manner which
speaks volumes for his know
ledge of the good things of life.
He is not destitute of this
world's goods, and he possesses
the rare faculty ot holding onto
that which be gets, lest the pangs
of poverty overtake him in his de
dining years.
He possesses a wide knowledge
of local affairs, because he is a con
stant reader of the News paper,
and the knowledge extracted
therefrom is turned to good ac
count in his own behalf.
.
ii an important event is soon
to occur he knows ol it in advance
because he has read it in this pa
per.
If there is a bargain to be had
anywhere in the community he
is promptly appraised of the fact
because that, too, be has read ot
in this paper.
And if an acquaintance is sick,
or aeai a nas overtaken some
member of u f.imily, or the stork
has paid a vnh to the home of
some friend, he is among the first
to extend his condolences or con
gratulationsbecause of these,
also, be has read in this paper.
He is a man of wisdom a pil
lar of strength with a brain
which absorbs to the utmost of
the essence of life.
Few things escape his notice
he is ever on the alert.
Bat the ONE THING which he
NEVER OVERLOOKS is THIS

This activity in the automobile

fact that those persons who de

the local dealer in past seasons,

Nothing adds more to the refinements of home than
good music. To have good music you must have a good
instrument. There are good bad and indifferent instru
ments, and to the unskilled eye they look much alike.
The unprincipled dealer is likely to make you pay a
first-class price for a fourth-class instrument. I have
lived in this county since my birth, I am a taxpayer and
in a position to make good any business transactions.
Buy your piano, organ, or victrola from me and if it is
not all right you can come back at me.
There are families in every part of this county that
have purchased instruments from me. Ask them about
me.
Perhaps you want to trade your organ for a Piano,
or Player Piano; or your Plain Piano, for a Player. See
me. Let's talk it over.
