The Columbia train had just arrived and taken its place 011 the siding and scores of people were standiug just behind it, when the Charlotte train came rushing over t he same track. There was a shout and a rushing on every side, and the engine with an effort that tnade it almost leap into the air was brought to a stop. A few feet more and it would have plunged into aeoaeh full of women nnd children. It is due to the public that the railroad authorities take souie steps to preveut a similar occurrence in the future. ? Now is your lime to get bargains at Virginia i: tore. Tiik Cou.ohed Qj)i?

PERHAPS the most important event in the history or the Dry Goods business in this section is the completion of the magnitioent establishment ot Wittkowsky & Barach. To the friends and ncquaintanrcs of this old established house, living? all over tho country, there is no n sed of introduction, but wo deem it only proper to call the attention of the poopic who are so situate<l living miles away from us, that we are now in a position to otfer facilities to purchasers of Dry Goods, etc., that are not equalled outside of New York. After many montlw of patient waiting and anxiety the large corps of artisans and mechanics that have been employed are about to vacate, [ leaving behind them everything so perfect in all appointments and requirements for the transaction of an immense business, that on entering this Mart of Fashion one can immediately observe that every detail thnt experience could desire or tnsto could suggest has been a'tended to. Everything that in any way could add to the comfort and convenience of customers has been zealously looked after and provided for. The premises have been enlarged to more than four times its former capacity, while several new departments have been added, nil of which i are entirely new features, and supplying a waut | that has long been felt in this section. All tho;.e vast improvements, provided at an iinmcnso outlay of capital, must necessarily have a telling effect on the business interests of this growing and beautiful city. For now ladies of the most refined tastes, for which the Carolinas nro proverbial, can find in this establishment every requisite of a waadrobe, for either street or toilet. "NT XX TIT "nnnonfiiwAa *ivn bUXCOt We feel that nowhere on thiscontinent is there a wider field of progress than in the balmy vnl leys of the lively South.

With new and ad vanccd ideas crowding out the old, pluck instead of luck, cosh instead of credit, ability in place of check, science and energy beating down the old fogy plnn of doing business, eld goods and long prices find no resting place with us ; our motto is and shall be | "Quick Sales and Light Profits." We aro determined to have life and energy 1 around and about us. Having now at our command all the spnee necessary for the requirements of our constantly increasing trade we are in a position to offer to our patrons a stock of such magnitude and varied assortment as cannot be excelled in the Southern States. For the special plcasuro of our lady friends we shall open with the fall season a Dress Making Department, and after much exertion we havo been fortune'e enough to secure tho services of a lady who for tho past sovonteen years has catered to the tastes of tho very best trade of New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, whose ability as a perfect fitter cannot be questioned. Ladies can rely upon being provided withthe most attractive freaks of fashion in garments that will bo perfect in (It, style and workmanship. Particularly attractive will bo our Ladies', Misses' and Children's Undergarments Department, our Ladies' Misses' and Children s Boot and Shoo Department, our Clonk and Suit Uepartmant, and we Lave specially devoted nit entire gallery for our Millinery Department.?
