MAKING GOOD
It is all very well for a store to make promises,
but people will soon get so they will pay no attention
to your promises unless you make good. We make
po extravagant claims, but we try our best to have
what you want in groceries and feed and to please our
customers. Give us a chance and you be the judge
of how well we succeed in doing that.
ESH BLACKBERRIES EVERY TUESDAY
AND FRIDAY

ity Officers Kept
Hester's Show Out!
The weather for the past two
weeks has been tine and farm-
ers who had help enough have
had a good chance to catch up
with their work, but a good
shower of rain would be wel-
comed now.
Follow The Crowd
Hester's show, billed to ex-
hibit here all this week, failed to
show up, doubtless due to the
insistce of the city authorities,
who requested them, or rather
warned them, to stay away, on
account of the rumors that some
of the members of their compa-
ny had, or had been exposed to
the smallpox, which, however,
the Messrs. Hester denied.
They may be correct, but we
are sure that the people of the
community will appreciate the
action of the officers, as it is
best to be on the safe side.
Smallpox is bad enough at any
time, and right now we are all
too busy to be laid up with this
disease.
Save engine trouble. In a
few minutes' time, we clean the
crank case of your engine with-
out charge.
QUICK SERVICE GARAGE
Friend of the people. We have
what you want.
Mrs. and Miss Bryant
Entertain Their Pupils
Mrs. J. B. Bryant and daught-
er, Miss Bessie, entertained
their music pupils Tuesday
night, with a lawn party. Each
pupil invited one friend. They
played several different kinds of
interesting games, both in the
house and on the lawn, which
was illuminated with electric
lights.
Refreshments of ice cream
and cake were served and at a
late hour they departed for their
homes with thanks their host-
essess for a very delightful even-
ing.

Robert Bryant Now
at Pelham Bay Park
Robert Bryant, who bas been
in training in a U. S. naval hos-
pital school in San Francisro,
Cal., since Sept. 15, 1017, has
been transferred to a base hos-
pital at Pelham Bay Park, N. Y.
Before leaving San Francisco,
he took bis examination, as a
result of which he was promoted
to fir^tclass hospital apprentice,
of which he is naturally very
proud, as it gives him another
stipe on his sleeve and a larger
monthly salary.
He writes his mother that he
had the honor, during the recent
Red Cross drive, of beinsr in the
Red Cross parade in New York
City, of which President Wilson
was at head. He says that he
was ir. a parade in San Francisco
that was the longest eyer held
there, but that it did not come
up to the one in New York,
which was so long that it took
from 11:00 a. m. until dark for
the parade to pass. The next
day, he writes, President and
Mrs. Wilson visited their camp
and that he got a good look at
them. He says they look ex-
actly like their pictures which
are printed in the newspapers
so often.
