Notice About Sovvenjr
Spoons
We regret to be compelled to inform the
public that we have run out of South Caro
lina Souvenir spoons temporarily, but the
truth is that we were not prepared to care
for the great many orders which have
come in for these spoons. We have order
ed more and expect to be able to supply
the ^emaAd* within a few days.
We have plenty of the North Carolina
spoons on hand, and next week we will put
on the Alabama spoons, and it certainly is
a beauty, i ?. ? .
