Clothes are for a season or two only, hats become old and old. fashioned, shoes wear out, alas! too soon, neckties and linen soon become passe, but a watch is always with you, regulating your movements by day and night. Be wise, therefore, and save money, and save annoyance along life's journey by purchasing only a watch of sterling integrity, Reliable watches are the only kind we offer you, and every watch leavingthis house is "guaranteed, of course."

Draper field, Anderson, W. Welsh P. Lawrence., Up -towns— Pitcher, A. Butler; catcher, T. Hawkins; basemen, Stan - bury, McNeil; field, F. Mutch, H, Potter, M. McEwen; s.s., W. Deihl. Umpire, H. Fulsom, SCHOOL NOT OPENED YET. The repairs to the Model School building are going on at a good rate but the building will not be ready fox use for another three weeks. The trustees considered the advisability of opening school at the proper time by obtaining the use of another building, but finally decided that it would be as well to wait until •the building was ready and make up the lost time at Christmas and Easter. It is hoped that if everything goes well the work will be rushed through and the building -will be ready for use in a few weeks, especially if the contractors, in order ' to help along the desired result, will put in a few hours overtime when necessary. The work has been going along nicely and much has been accomplished in the time but the job is a large one and of necessity takes time to com- plete. GOOD CITIZENS LEAVING.
