Dr, R. S. Sutton
All the above named .-banks re-
port the past year the best year
since their organizations.
Dr, Sutton left Tuesday for
New York, from which city he
sails for Europe, on January
13th. The citizens of Bartlett
and community regret his going
since his services are so much in
demand.
Dr. Sutton is one of the most
prominent physicians in Central
Texas; a fine diagnostician
thorough painstaking and studi-
ous. He constantly grows in
favor with the people. Ho goes
to the trenches in order that he
may the more thoroughly prepare
himself as a surgeon that he
may be of greater value to hu-
manity by alleviating human
suffering. The Doctor will re-
main in Europe for a period of
eight monthB. We bespeak for
him continued success and
will welcome him home with de-
light and shall expect great
things of him during the coming
years and fell sure that Bartlett
will have reason to be proud of
his achievements.
Moonlight Picnic.
W. C. T. U. Meets
Aged Woman Dies.
Belton, Tex., Jan. 10. Mrs.
James Kelly, who died ac her
home a few miles east of this
city Saturday, was one of the
county's noblest women. She
was 67 years of age, and forty-
five years of her life were spent
in Bell county. She is survived
by a husband, two daughters
and four sons. The funeral ser-
vices were held Monday morning
at the family residence, conduct
ed by Rev., Father P. A. Heck-
mnn.. Burial was made in the
Hill Cemetery.
In other climes it might read
like a romance to announce the
event of a moonlight picnic on
the ninth day of January, but
such an event actnally took
place on Tuesday evening.
The place selected was ten
miles southwest of town on the
Bolding farm. The company
camped alongside the bed of a
winding creek by the side of a
ledge of rock which furnished
comfortable seats for all.
Harkin's truck was secured as
a means of transportation and
did effective service. Upon reach-
ing their destination a large fire
was kindled and a chilli supper
was prepared and the jolly bunch
proceeded to have a hot time
outside the old town. After every
one had dined fully and heartily,
some old plantation songs were
sung and the company departed
for home.
The occasion was in honor of
Mr. and Mrs. Lee Howell and
the party was chaperoned by
Rev. Homer A. McCarCy and
wife.
Womans' Club
6n Thursday of last week the
Womans Christian Temperance
Union met in the home of Miss
Ira Mae Allen, with 23 members
present. We were glad to add
to our list the riames of Brother
and Sister Irvin, and their dau-
ghter. After the usual devotion
al exercises a good program was
rendered, with Mrs. Schofield as
leader, assisted by Miss Ollic
Shoemaker.
Miss Gladys Bush won the
medal at Granger.
January 18 has been set apart
as a day of pravcr for National
Prohibition. All White Ribbon
ers are supposed to offer at noon-
tide for the cause of temperance.
So it was decided to ask all White
Ribboners and friends of the
cause to offer a special prayer
for the National Constitutional
Amendment, Jan. 18, 1917.
Refreshments were served by
hostess, after which the guests
departed with praise to God for
such manifested interest in His
great work.
Mrs. J. D Usry and Miss Lucy
Usry are confined to their beds

ville. A "good roport oh the

An Enjoyable Surprise
On last Tuesday evening at
the home of Pastor and Mrs. J.
C. Rhodes, the members of the

with them all kinds of good
things to eat.
This was also Rev. Rhodes and
daughter, Miss Mary birthday,
and she came over from Rock-
dale where she is teaching school,.

py home. Songs were sung,
and a general good time was on-
joyed by all till the time for de-
parture; all wishing for Mr.

happy returns of the day.

The management of this store believes the foundation of any busines must be
service the supers tructive must be service and the roof must be service. There is an
unseen element which enters into every business transaction the element of service.
Service is the entangible something which the customer should ge't with his
purchase, it may only be a pleasant smile, a friendly greeting, prompt attention, a
helpful suggestion, or something equally abstract.
It consists in believing that by helping oneself last by helping his customers first
wins. The one that derives benefits from the public owes something in return. The
primary duty of any merchant should be to have his customers prosper and to use the
experience that he has gained through former dealings, to their advantage.
We want you to speak a friendly word for this store. We want you to make it
your headquarters, We want you to consider this store yours, and to feel a kindly
interest in its success.
