Fight Result


Displaying a wonderful brand of boxing, Lenny Valuer, the French featherweight champion, won a twelve-round decision over Ralph Ilrady last night before the GearCity Coliseum. This win is Valuer's first bout in five months. The French "flash" used left crosses and hooks and uppercuts in a manner that was bewildering to Ilrady.

We look forward to tonight's heavyweight bout between Mic McMan and 'Tiny' Tim Tomson.

Screen Doors And Windows

If your home is not equipped with screen Doors and Windows, you are missing one of the real luxuries of your life. A luxury of comparatively trifling cost when you consider the many advantages of keeping the pesky files on the outside. Our screen doors and windows are made to your order to fit your doors and windows; they are made of good material and will outlast any of the "make-em-by-the-million" screens you ever saw. Let us make you an estimate on the cost of supplying your house. The difference in the cost will be greatly overbalanced by the life of our Screens. Phone us about Fly Screens.

PROTECT Your Teeth

It is cheaper and better than dental ills. Daily brushing of the teeth with a first-class Tooth Brush and free use of first-class dental floss will protect your teeth against decay. Come and see us for the Brush. We have them in a variety of sizes and at all prices. And also dentifrices of recognized merit, including Powders, Pastes, and Liquids. All of them are good, and selection is but a matter of individual taste. But anyway, see us for Brushes and Dentifrices. Gear City DRUG STORE.

Are You a Farmer?


When a merchant fixes a price for his wares which allows him a profit above the cost, and then holds his goods on his shelves until somebody comes along and pays that price, we call that "good business." And we generally approve of that, but let a group of farmers do the same thing, it's pure speculation and hoarding, and everybody, from the man who parches peanuts to the banker and up, denounces him. The merchant who takes steps to get a fair price is a good, estimable citizen. The farmer who uses the best resources at his command, who tries to protect his wife and children and assure them a decent living, is a "vicious hoarder," a "profiteer," and maybe a "Bolshevik." Farmers, aren't you sick and tired of this silly stuff that the "knocker" is handing you. I hear something each day in Edgefield about the "organization" of farmers.
