We have just arrived from Baltimore with an up-to-date line of millinery. My experienced milliner, Miss Susy Soles, will be glad to show you this line. We have a nice line of fine dress goods and silks. Our shoe line is larger than ever before, prices ranging from 13 cents to $4.00. We have on display an extra fine line of men’s suits and overcoats and boys’ suits. Also, a nice line of stoves and mattresses, double and single. Come to look before buying. I think I can save you money as I have no rent to pay, no clerk to pay and buy goods for cash. Yours to serve, W. J. Grimstead, Soles, Virginia.Mr. H. E. Shimp is driving an Artesian well in the Court House yard.
