Heed. Mrs. Reed thought that she would in vite a few relatives add have a nice social time in the evening after church. Some of the nighbors heard that Monday was their anniversary and they circulated it as much as possible and while Mrs. Reed was at church all went to the house to surprise her And it was an utter surprise to her.

When she came home they, had supper all ready and of course asked her to eat with them. Which she did. They presented Mr. and Mrs. Reed with a handsome book case and secretary.

While Mr. Reed knew they were going to surprise them, Mrs. Reed didn't. All present enjoj'ed a pleasant evening. Many changes have been made in farmers east of town in the last two weeks.

Last week Mrs. G. W. Daugh-erty sold her farm of 320 acres to Mr. Craig of Illinois for $3000.

Thomas Califf sold his farm of 80 acres to YVm Easley, for 1000. S. S. Whitesel sold his farm of 240 acres to Thomas Califf for $4320. This week Judge J.

M. Collins sold his farm of 100 acres to J. W. McCall of Fan-is, for $4370. A.

R. Zentz his farm of 5 acres to W. II. McCall for $2000. Messrs.

McCalls are brothers-in-law of James Emert of this csty. J. G. Orr, of Christal Springs, also a brolher-in-lavv of Mr. Emerl, was here with them looking at our country.

They have bought some of the best bind in the county. We welcome them as citizens of Macon county. No firm in Macon county has increased their trade like J. C. Doneghy Bro.

Every little while they build a new room to hold more goods to ac comodate their increasing business, until now they occupy six large rooms- One room is filed with ready made clothing, hats, caps and trunks. One room with dry goods of every description and shoes One room with boots and shoes. One room is full of carpets, oil cloths, bed comforts, blankets, ladies' and misses' cloaks. Two rooms ave used for groceries. Thev make it a rule never to try anything but reliable goods.

Persons who are net familiar with their way of doing eBusiness often wonder how they sell so cheap. They buy with their brothers at Springfield, Macon, Kirksville and La Plata. They buy for cash. They are large buyers. There is no lot of goods to large for thsm if the price is low enough.

They often soil goods for less than other merchants pay for thm. We wish we had more such firms as J. C. Doneghy Bro. List of Letters.
