The interest in the coming:
County Meet of the University
Interscholagtic League seems to
be growing in a very satisfactory
manner, and this is very gratify-
ing to the Directors and all who
have a knowledge of the purpos-
es and plans of the organization.
Ten schools of the county have
already made entries for the con-
tests, and it is likely that addi-
tional entries will be made be-
fore the date of the Meet, Mar.
30 and 31. There are several
f schools in the county, not yet
represented, which we think
could enter contests in one or
more of ?he literary or athletic
contests, and in so doing render
valuable assistance in making
y '^the coming program the really
worth-while occasion that is so
i much desired and at the same
time awaken a deeper education-
al interest in the local commun-
ities. Let every school that can
possibly do so make entries in
some of the contests, and report
your entries at an early date.
The literary features of the
program, comprising musical
numbers and contests in boys'
and girls' Declamation, junior
and senior Spelling and Essay
writing will be rendered in the
District Court room. The ath-
letic contests will be held on the
playgrounds at the High School
building. The program as pub-
lished last week, with some addi-
tions, is as follows:

OUR SERVICE AND WHAT
IT MEANS TO YOU

BUSINESS MEETING
OF PHOENIX CLUG
Our interest doesn't cease when
the goods leave our store.
Isn't it some satisfaction to
know that when you buy an ar-
ticle there is somebody besides
yourself Who is concerned as to
whether or not it makes good.
You can buy goods of a peddler
and get what you consider a bar-
gain. In case the goods prove
a disappointment there is no re-
course. The peddler is interest-
ed solely in the immediate sale
and moves on to other fields. We
don't conduct our business along
peddler lines—we couldn't if we
wanted to. No matter what you
buy of us, we are concerned in
its giving satisfaction. We live
here among you. This is our
home and we know that we can't
make future sales by selling un-
reliable goods. And so when an
implement, for instance, that we
sell gives satisfaction, it pleases
us; and if anything proves wrong
temporarily we take steps to find
out and remedy the trouble. We
do business over and over with
the same people-—and the extent
of our patronage depends upon
how well we serve again and the
population of this country. This
interest proposition is worth while.
It relieves the purchaser of the
fear that he will be cheated in the
transaction. Our business is found-
ed on confidence and service.
Make our store headquarters when
in Aspermont.

Miss Dal by Entertains
A very select crowd of young
people were delightfully enter-
tained Thursday evening at the
home of Ina K. Dalby. Forty-
two and other games occupied
the time and attention of the
guests until ten o'clock when
pimento sandwiches and lemon
ice were served. Music was fur-
nished nuring the evening by
Misses Thomas. Hylle and Rash.
Those who accepted this hos-
pitality were: Misses Anthony,
Bulloch, Ponder, Hylle, Thomas,
Messers Bulloch, Sprue!!, Guest,
Springer, Daniels and Davis.
A DELIGHTFUL ST. ;
PATRICK'S PARTY
On Saturday evening the
seventieth, Mrs. Rollins enter-
tained with a delightful St. Pat-
rick'? party. The house waa
appropriately and artisticly' de-
corated in Sliamroekw. '
Each guest upon entering was
presented with a strip of green
cloth, and a needle and thread.
The young men were to make a
decorative band for the ladies
hair: a frmit many, "Ohs!"
and ''Ouches!" came from them
because the needle went else-
where besides in the cloth, how-
ever they were quite successful
in making the young ladies look
att ractive in the bands of green.
The ladies made bow ties for the
men, each declaring theirs' were
the best.
The ladies then withdrew to a
dark room and each at the same
time extended a hand trom' be-
hind a curtain, and each man
chose the hand that he thought
belonged to the lady that he
wanted as a partner for the po-
tato race. Potatoes were placed
upon the floor and had to be
picked up in a tea spoon and
carried from one room
another and depoa Ted in tt
ket. The couple doing this
the shortest length of time won
a prize; this caused a great deal
of merriment since it is'nt so
easy to pick up a potato with
a tea spoon.
After the race each couple
was given a potato and knife
and were asked to carve an
animal. Several pigs were
carved however some were aad-
ly in need of this inscription—
"This is a pig."
Favors of green baskets and
hats filled with after dinner:
mints were found at^^
plate of a delicious two c
luncheon; serving the follow. ^

new efficiency and new economies

the makers as well as ourselves
