The Reason

countythouses from a distance sell so manygoods by mail It is very easily explained Mail order houses are constant-ly sending out attractive advertise ¬

ments giving their prices claimingthat their goods are firstclass in everyparticular The prices look good to theconsumer and an order is forwardedNow the merchants of Columbia andAdair cpunty sell better goods andcheaper goods than can be receivedfrom any mail order house but theymust tell the people in order to compete with the foreigner The Adaircounty News is read by every rep-

resentative¬

family in all this country

fleeced lined bed blanket had hismeasure taken and the pantaloons madeout of the blanket it being doubled Inother words it was blanket outside andinside with the broad stripes up eachleg The first hunt thereafter was ona cool night and the Governer was aswarm as his imagination could picturebut after the fox was full under wayand the hounds making the woods ringhis feet became cool and therefore a-

fire was builta good roaring one For¬

getting the tendency of his beautifulpantaloons to fire he approached closeto the blaze but some of his associatesin the chase warned him of the dangerWithin a few seconds he had caughtand was contending with the blaze thatwas rapidly climbing up his stripes butIthe aid quick and strong of MessrsPrice Tarter and Bailey extinguishedit They stepped a short distance awayto better hear the music leaving theGovernor to enjoy the heat whensuddently the secondalarm was turn-ed
