Do You Wonder What to
Eat and .Where to Buy?
These are the questions that confront the housewife
almost daily. It is always a question what to prepare for
the next meal that will be different and tempting and
whether there is an idea in mind or not, it is often another
question of where to buy the foodstuffs. This store
answers both questions in an ideal manner.

Because there is always a wide variety from which to
select. Our foodstuffs are always the very highest
quality at prices you can afford to pay. When you buy

good. We will deliver your foodstuffs to your door if you

D. MORROW
Mrs. Wooldridge was borh
May 10, 1845, her 1haid«D
name was Miss Mollie Nash
and her entire life was spent in
Texas. In 1896 she marrlid
J. E. Byers, to this union went
born ten children, three of
whom have passed on to their
reward, seven of them living,
namely: Mrs. M. B. Bates, Mrs,
D. F. Strickle, Mrs. J. H. Stead-
man, Mrs. R. M. Campbell;
Lee Byers, Ed Byers, Henry
Byers. These with a host of h,
friends and loved ones are left
to mourn her going.
Her life will continue to tall
for good in the lives of her
children, some of them th*
writer has had the privilege to
be associated with in the last
three years, and their faithfull-
ness in the Master’s service
speaks well for them and now
that their hearts have been
broken may each continue to
live for the Master and find
strength and grace in this time
of need.
May we say with the poet of
old:
Ion
liort
Sunset and evening .star,
And one clear call for me.
And may there be no mourning at the
bar
When I put out to sea.
But such a tide aa moving seems
Too full for sound or foam.
When that which drew from out tha
boundless deep.
Turns again home. . -vl
| Twilight and evening bell.
And after that*the dark.
And may there be no sadness
farewell
When I embark.

Where is Your Money*

but
You probably put in a year of good, hard work,
paid your living expenses and incidentals of course,
where is the surplus? Where is the bank account you
should have? It was easy to spend it all and so much of
it foolishly, but it would have been just as easy to save the
surplus if you had only started.
PERHAPS YOU HAVE NOTICED
How often opportunity knocks at the door of the man
or woman who has a bank account. These people create
opportunity for themselves. Doesn’t that suggest to you
that you shouldn’t put it off another day? Start a bank
account now and enjoy the fruits of opportunities that
may come your way. We extend a cordial welcome for
you to share the many advantages that this bank has to
offer. Come in and get acquainted. You will like to do
business here.
