have moved a portion of their large stock into the room adjoining their store, which gives them ample room and a better opportunity to display their goods. -We repeat what we have before published in advising our readers to patronize merchants who advertise. A man who does not advertise is not deserving of public patronage. -Do you wish to get the TIMES a year, six or three months free? If so bring us the ten best ears of corn you can find in your field and your chance will be good for one of the three prizes. -Rev.

Woody, of Beloit, preached a very interesting and instructive sermon at the Barnard church last Sunday and afterward assisted Rev. McCurry in administering the ordinance of baptism. -Mrs. Motes, of Scotsville, has been visiting with her sister, Mrs. Dr.

Bradbury requests the owners of the following articles, loaned to the Salvation Army for use during their stay here, to call on Mrs. Wilkins, south of the church, and take them away: 1 table cloth, 2 jars, plates, saucers, knives and forks.

Also a child's coat, made of waterproof cloth, and a whip. -A. M. Griffeth's little daughter Lulu left for her home in Washington county last Saterday. "Grif" accompanied her to Beloit "to see safely started" he says, but it looks somewhat suspicious for a man to go to Beloit by way of Asherville when there is a more direct route from here, and then remain at the last mentioned place all day Sunday.

Come, own up "Grif," and we'll forgive you this time. --The postsffice department will soon issue a new postal card. It is very much like a double card of the present pattern. The back folds are split diagonally and and open like a fonr pointed star. The four corners are folded and joined in the center, when the card is ready for mailing, with a piece of gummed paper.

The card weighs less than half an ounce, and will contain no more writing than the present card, the only advantage being greater privacy. -Young man, pay attention! Don't be a loafer- don't keep loafer's company -don't hang about loafing places. Better work than sit around day after day, or stand about corners with your hands in your pockets -better for your own health and prospects. Bustle about if you mean to have anything to bustle around for. Many a poor physician has found a real patient by riding after an imaginary one.

A quire of blank paper tied with a red crape, carried under a lawyer's arm, may procure him his first case, and make his fortnne. Such is the world: "To him that hath shall be given." Quit dreaming and complaing; keep busy and mind your chances. -The first district meeting of school district No. 84-the new district formed by detaching sec. 18, twp.

10, range 6 from district No. 9, and sections 12 and 13, twp. 10, range 7 from district No. 24, and connecting them with sec. 7, twp.

10, range be held at the Barnard church, on Monday, Oct. 15, at 2 o'clock, p.m. The purpose of meeting is to perfect the organization by electing officers, make arrangements for a school and provide a place to hold it, and such other business as may come before the meeting. All voters of the district who are interested in having a good school should make it a point to be present at the meeting and see to it that none but good men are chosen to fill the offices. Lay a good foundation and you will ever afterward have a prosperous and harmonious district.
