Youkville, S. January 1, 1884. flratitude is a virtue close of kin to justice, and for spiritual and temporal advancement and benefits, it is expected that this emotion should bo the first awakened in the human heart. It is, therefore, but just, and in no matter of form or mere following of an established custom, that at the beginning of this New Year, 1 return grateful acknowledgments to my customers and friends for the patronage bestowed on me in the past. It is to the enduring confidence and continued support of the public, that is due whatever of success I have achieved in my business, and I here express the hope that there has nothing occurred in the transactions between myself and patrons, that will alienate a single one of them, or dispose them to look elsewhere forgoods in my line. On the contrary, I trust that many just men and "honorable women not a few" may give me their trade that have not done so heretofore. Wishing all contentment with their lot in life, and success in their several vocations, I am, very Respectfully, JOHN ('. KUYKEXDAL. STATE OF SOL'TII C AROLINA. County of" York. WHEREAS JOSEPH F.

We respectfully invite the old customers of the house to give us a trial, feeling assured that we can make it to their interest to do so. The senior member of the new firm having been connected with Clark Bros, for the past two years, flatters himself that from his knowledge of the Grocery business and the needs and wants of the public, that he will be enabled to give entire satisfaction to his friends ; while Mr. Pegram, who has been engaged in the Grocery business for the past seven years, and connected with the house of Mr. John K. Ashe, in Yorkville, for several months, feels also that he is fully prepared to meet his share of the demands thatmav be made upon the new firm.

On the 20th of August next, I Will Take all the Number* That are in my book (not the names) and put them in a "Box and have them well shaken up, and at 2 o'clock I will get a small boy, who can neither read nor write, to draw out the numbers. The 1st number drawn takes the Buggy ; the 2nd, the Machine, and the 3rd, the Silver Watch. Now this is no CHEATING LOTTERY BUSINESS. Everything is fair and square, and the lucky ones wilj get the goods th6y draw, immediately after the drawing. Remember on last August I Gave Away A Machine and the party who drew it?a Mrs. Warren, near Clover, a. C.?had only one chance. The great beauty of this thing is that the chances do not cost you a single cent. THEY ARE GIVEN TO YOU FREE By the Old Chap. Every porson who has cash to spend should go and see' tne Old Chap. He will sell you goodsascheap as can be boughtin Yorkville, and for every $2.00 worth of goods bought from him for cash, he will give you a chance at The Buggy, Machine an?l Watch.

A flat from all earth would not have 1 >revented the araival of 1884. Such occasions ire suggestive of serious thoughts, which should j ind lodgment in every mind, and work out good t esults. 1883 has had its due proportion of those 1 !hanges, which bring about an almost complete 1 evolution in earth's things and inhabitants, t jvery few decades. Among the business mutations for myself of he New Year, is the close of a long and ploasint connection with Mir. Walter B. Moore, 1 1 On whom we would invoke the kindly smiles of Dame Fortune, if our humble words were of any ivail with her mythical majesty. However, we have no doubt his industry and integrity will secure their merited success. i Mr. S. Jj. Miller, ! 1 After the vicissitudes of several years, has re newed his business relations with us. Mr. Miller expects to serve all his friends in his new quarters, which is also his old stand, having be- i gun his business career in this same room. j CONCERNING MY OWN WEAL OR WOE 1 i In business, a retrospect of the past gives mo no , ill forebodings for the future. 1883 has added another year of experience to whatever qualifications I possessed previously.
