"Notfciog succeeds like success" has been shown in the case of Mimnaugb, the big dry goods, clothing and sho9 merchant of Columbia. J Unlike most men he does not sit down and wait for business, but he makes business come to him by taking advantage of rich bargains which are to be had daily in the Northern I markets and giving the purchasing public the benefit of the bargains. ,He struck the keynote of success ! when he adopted as his motto quick ! sales and small profits, as it has led him on to fortune and fame. His immense stores are palaces of ! beauty and loveliness, being crowded j from floor to ceiling with many hued patterns of dress goods, rich in texture and fit to adorn the person of a queen, which under Mimnaugh's magic touch, has been marked at prices within the reach of all. Every conceivable want in his line can be supplied at his establishment and at the lowest possible price. His hosiery, glove and linen departments are always crowded with rare bargains and the economical housewife has long since found out that Mimnaugh's is the place to purchase these goods as he saves them big money every time she makes a purchase. There is now no more reason for the poor tired mother, with throbbing temples, burning eyes ' and aching finger3 to worry over the thankless task of darning hose for it is cheaper to purchase a new pair at his store than it is to darn an old 1 pair, and besides they look so much nicer. His shoe department, which is ( presided over by Mr. Rueben F. , Corley, one of Lexington's most popular and handsome young men, is one of Mimnaugh's pet hobbies and be prides himself on keeping one of the ( largest and best selected stocks to be found in the city. His stock embraces all the latest styles and toes, and ranges in price from the lowest to the more higher priced, according to make. Now is the time to be the possessor of a handsome suit of clothes at a price which will astonish you, as ] he is offering them almost at your ' own price. Mr. J. M. Stuart, another of Lexington's popular young i men, will be glad to see all of his Lexington friends, show them these 1 goods, give them a splendid fit and send them on their way rejoicing. | Mimnaugh's is the place to buy j first class goods at fourth class prices. 1 OBITUARY.

Owing to sickness in the family of the pastor of the Baptist church at this place, the revival services, which were to have begun next week, have been postponed to a future time. What a false world we live in, how fall of the most gracefally performed lying! The pity of it is that when the troth is spokea no one can be got to believe it There are two thiDgs, each of which he will seldom fail to discover who seeks for it in earnest; the knowledge cf what he oaght to do and a plausible pretext to do what he likes. We learn that a pretty cottage, on the hill side, towards Mr. Keisler's, belonging to the Lewie Estate, at Lewie dale, was destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon about 6 o'clock. It was occupied by a family of negroes. The origin of the fire is unknown.

We are still exceedingly dry and the outlook is a serious one. This is a verification of the old adage, "that ^ all signs for rain fail in dry weather," ' for we have the brightest prospects ' for rain frequently that could be seen, but no rain comes. Mrs. J. B.

B. Plunkett has also been ( quite ill but is up again and able to * attend to his business. J. P. Jones is, I am sorry to say, ? quite feeble again. c Batesburg sent quite a delegation to the Southern Baptist convention, consisting of Kev. T. R. and Mrs. Corr, Rev. John Lake, Mrs. D. P. Hartley, Col. A. B. Watson and Miss 1 Naomie Cooner, daughter of Rev. N. G. Cooner. They report an interest- ^ ing meeting and heard the Rev. A. J. ^ Diaz, the late imprisoned Missionary. Diaz stated in a speech before the convention that he would return to Cuba in at least six months, and would find it an independent Island. He also said that it would then be a fruitful mission field, and that he has now quite a number of Baptist churches, several ministers and two c thousand communicants on the Island. r The Midland Railroad engineer corps are working to get the most available route in town and quite a number of the officials, including Maj. Lee, superintendent, has been in town last week. They speak highly of the outlook for the road. The joint picnic of the Methodist and Baptist Sunday schools came off Fridav last in the Cullum grove. It * u was a most enjoyable affair and ? Largely attended. After a dinner of the fat of the land, more than several times twelve baskets, were filled with what was left. Surely when the people of Batesburg set their heads to do a thing they do it in an orderly and successful way. In the afternoon the crowd resolved themselves into a mass meeting and Dr. E. C. Iiidgell was called upon for a speech, the Doctor stated that, although constitutionally modest, yet r after such a dinner, he could not be so ungrateful as to refuse to make a speech and then in his inimatable style he gave them a speech spark- j ling with wit and wisdom, and then | introduced Col. Aldrich of Barnwell, c who spoke of the railroad and other ^ business interests of our country. Prof. Bridges made an excellent ad- " dress on our educational institutions and when he concluded, loud calls f were made for Hon. J. Walter Mitch ell. The Judge responded in a happy j speech and held the audience with [ deep interest, as he gave them practical lessons from his experience in the school room and in practical lines of business. The speech was full of good, solid common sense and was . much applauded. Clerk of Court H. A. Spann re- < cently held a Referee's court here. The attorneys in the case were Wm. H. Lyle?of Columbia, X. B. Dial of i Laurens, Leonard Phinezy of Au- ( gusta, and E. F. Strother of our ^ local bar. The Referee took the papers and reserved his decision, ] which we presume will be filed with J the court. TV "P1. r. TKA troll flnrT TV "XT TT i Boatwright attended the State i Dental Convention in Columbia last week. We were delighted to see our former citizen, Mr. A. J. Quattlebaum of Swansea, in town a few days ago. Mrs. L. J. Langford, with her daughters. Misses Estelle and Lizzie, were in town recently. t Several young ladies are visiting 1 in town, among them, Miss Low of s Mississippi, at the home of Mr. H. * W. Shuler, Miss Hardin of Chester, at Dr. E. K. Hardin's, and Miss Eva | Blair of Atlanta, at Dr. E.F.Strother's. The B. Y. P. U. spent a day at Merritfc's mill recently and had a ^ splendid time, also the Epworth League had their outing at the 1 Quattlebaum old mill?the boat rides there were enjoyed by all except Ed. Bawl, and he don't say much about it?the boys, however, say that it was demonstrated by the watch that Ed's fine negligee short will dry in ex- J actly five minutes when hung out on i a snag at the head of the pond. ( During Mr. Hartley's absence 6 from the depot in attendance on the I Southern Baptist Convention, the business of the Southern and Western Union was efficiently handled by , Hugh O'Neal and B. Hoyt Hartley. The citizens of our neighbor | county, Saluda are not backward to come forward in asking for official honors. A long string of them will attend protracted meetings and 9hake hands with the dear people, and the babies will be kissed and fondled till the dear tLings will be worn out. Just think of it,six for Auditor and not half the precincts heard from yet. Verily the average American is a self-sacrificing individual, for others he wishes to labor himself he will rot serve.
