To Our Many JANUARY FIRST sees the beginning of a now; buv r.o' s pollcv with this store. A change from a credit system to a ::trict!y cash basis. We realize that at first such a change will inconvenience some as well as ourselves. We will no doubt be misunderstood, and misquoted but merchandising of today is not the merchandising of a few years ago. Since the war began prices in all lines have, as you know, been steadily on the increase, and many times we have r,old goods for a less price than we could go on the market and re place them. Don't misunderstand us! We are not grouching about this kind of loss. What we want to do is to point out to you the .saving in dollars you can make in paying cash for your merchandise. In selling for cash we will be able to eliminate considerable expense in the way of bookkeeping, loss of bad accounts and general overhead costs. - We shall be able to do business on a smaller margin of expense, and that means more money for actual buying power What is saved by buying in larger quantities and at times when the market is particularly favorable, we will pass on to you in lower prices. We want to serve you In the future as in the past, and to meet your patronage with honest merchandise on a business basis We want to be a part of this community, working always for its good as well as our own. If there is anything you do not fully under stand about our new method, come in and talk it over. We will be be very glad to explain in detail the advantage and saving to you in our new plan. . .. , YOURS VERY TRULY, Hiatt &Tutt, MURRAY, I LIU Miss Margaret Wiley has been on the sick list for the past week.

The attendance under the circumstances, and the liberal pat ronage were much appreciated: The pastors of the' two churches. I Christian and United Presbyterian of Murray have agreed to hold union services each Sabbath evening for one or two months, and perhaps through the winter. In this way there will be quite a saving of fuel, as only one church will have to be heated each Sabbath evening, and al so the speaker of each evening will have, or should have, a larger aud ience. The first of the union ser vices will be held in the Christian Church next Sabbath eveniner. and it should be remembered that in our community December Is the "E very boy at Church Month", and no one should fall to attend at least one service each of the three remaining Sabbaths of the month.
