Souvenirs for the evening were
small American flags. This
dance was a success, but it
hard work to carry it through
and the management is to be
congratulated. Every one
joyed it, and the hospitality
shown will be a send off for our
hustling town of Greenville.
For several good reasons the

first planned, but luncheon was
served at the different homes-

Help Your Town Grow.
No town will become a good
business center so long as its
business men rely on a few mer-
chants to make the effort to bring
trade to town Too often
men in a few lines are
about the only ones that reach
out custom. Other mer-
chants was it until these men in-
duce the people to come to town
and content themselves with
trade that naturally drift to their
place. A public spirited man
should ask himself if he is
his part to attract people to come
to town to trade in helping the
business
no town is . success unless all
lines working to extend the trade
as far as possible and to
bring a larger territory in the
circles in which the is the

Where Opium Is

China and is peculiar to the
The and Malays eat

the smoking habit is today, it is a
modern custom as lime runs in Chi-
There to be little doubt
in the minds of those
who have traced tho opium thread
back through the tangle of early
missionary reports and imperial
edicts that tho habit started either
in Formosa or on the mainland
across straits, where malaria is
common. Opium had been used
generations before as a remedy for
malaria, and these first smokers
seem to have mixed a little opium
with their tobacco, which had been
introduced by the Portuguese in the
early seventeenth century. From
this beginning, it would appear, was
developed the rather elaborate out-
lit which the opium of today
considers necessary to his pleasure.

is to say, it was and is a
of rest from worldly labor, and
therefore it can observed on any

Christians changed the day to the
first day of the week chiefly because
Jesus Christ rose from tho dead on

With the compliments of the season to all our

WHAT ABOUT CHRISTMAS
children are asking it with wondering
and hopeful expectations of what Santa
Claus is likely to bring them.
The older people are asking it, not so much
in speculation regarding the
that Christmas will bring to them, but
as an inquiry as to how they are to pro-
suitable and satisfactory presents for
relatives and friends without too heavy a
upon their time and purse.
May we help you solve the problem and
put you in the way of doing your Christmas
with satisfaction and
offer the advantage of selection that
can only he found in a very extensive snow-
of first class goods take pleasure

power to help you to just the right article at
the right price, so that you may leave our
store glad that you came, and perfectly
tied with your purchases in every respect.
