Nineteen twenty will be the great-
est year of the great South!
With the American Cotton As-
sociation's plans fairly uucler way,
¿there will be such a wave of huiti-
nes*, of prosperity, as has never
even been dreamed of for the South-
ern farmer, the merchant, the
hunker.
The day of cotton Is at hand! No
longer will the cotton farmer feed
himself out of the supply man's tin
can* and pork barrels, until at the
end of the yrar he owes hia whole
crop.
Instead, according to the Ameri-
can Cotton Ah ociatl .t)'n plans, he

aje, «lid on the rest of Ins far in ho
will raise liis own fruit, his own

when his cotton is picked and Imled
he will more I in the system of
warehouses advocated by the Ameri-
can Cotton Assoolatlon and sell It

This bank stands for tbut kind
of farming—because that kind of
farmers will have money to put in-
to the bank at tile end of the year.

New Spring1920Millinery
How Ready For Yoar Inspectio
At The Big Store
We have received quite a large
showing of our spring millinery, and
other shipments will be arriving right
along during the season.
We are still featuring the "FISK"
and "ELZEE" pattern hats, which we
can recommend to our trade as being
absolutely correct in style.
We deem it not necessary to say
that you will find our prices the lowest
to be found anywhere, quality consid-
ered, as this goes without saying by
those who are posted.
Come in and look at the new spring
hats, and we know you will be pleas-
ed with same.
We are yours for honest goods at
honest prices by honest methods,
