' V .i; ' V:V~ A Jaunt in a Secluded Spot of York Co. by one of the Old Chap's Constituents. How He was Surprised by a supposed "Mormon Gathering.** " HY does almost every person read the Old Chap's Advertisements?" "Well, sir, in the first place he always has something new ; never anything old. If the chap is old himself he never gives you anything old in his store. No old gbods. No old prioes. Always something new to read, always new goods, always latest styles, always lowest prices, always get what you buy, always full measure, always get polite attention, always'full value for your money. These are plain facts and can be proven by calling at the Old Chap's store." ("Well, Old Chap, I staid in the Northern portion of this county one night last week?the evening the ENQUIRER was due?and what do you suppose? Every member of the family wanted the ENQUIRER first, and I had brass enough to ask them why they all wanted it at once. Of course they all remarked, "Why we each want to get the news first. A little Miss happened to be standing near and said, Mr. Snipe, I can tell you what the matter is: They all want to see and read what the Old Chap has to say this week; that is the truth, Mr. Snipe, but they did not want to tell you for fear you might be some one else's friend; but you see I am a friend of the Old Chap's and I do not care who knows it. I am a straight-out girl and a straight-out friend of the Old Chap's, because he always treats Mamma so well and always sells her such pretty goods for me wh6n she goes to town, as she does all her trading there and has been doing so for a longtime; and Mr. Snipe, I think almost every person in this section does also, as he sells just as cheap and never sells you shoddy goods without telling you, nor does he allow any one in his employment to do so either; and, besides, he does what no other merchant in town has ever done. He offers you some inducement to trade with him. He always, for every two dollars worth of goods you buy, gives a chance at the Buggy, Sewing Machine and Watch, and if Mamma should be lucky enough to win it, oh my such nice riding I will get, and you know we have no buggy; and it would be such a nice treat to us, and it would be just 965.00 INTO PAPA'S POCKET. " -1 j t? ?ome one wiu gei it ana my jrup? mjusi/oaapb as any one else's Papa, for it is a fair and square thing, as the Old Chap would not allow anything else.'" "Well, Old Chap, it seems like all the Ladies and even the little misses are on your side, and if even I were not inclined that way, I would have to be very careful how I expressed myself, as I would be sure to get a blowing up, and quick too, if I said anything against you, as these little misses are always about and some of them are as sharp as steel traps just sharpened. Well, Old Chap, I believe I told you that the ENQUIRER worked its way by some means into every nook and corner of the county. I had occasion to visit one of the darkest corners and one of the hardest places to be found and get to, this week, that ever I attempted in all my life. The road was terribly rough and narrow, and I was jostled up a great deal more than my physical strength could stand should the trip have to be repeated daily. However. I was natient and worried the time away. At last I saw a house in the dim distance through the beautiful foliage of the forest trees. I quickened my horse's speed a little, and in a few minutes I was almost to the house. Just here I heard a tremendous roar of laughter coming from the house. Listening a few minutes as I sat in my buggy I could hear distinctly, the voice of a male, as if reading aloud. The reading was interrupted occasionally by ripples of laughter from the listeners. The first idea that struck me, was that I had hit on some Poetical Society or Gathering ot Mormons or something of the kind, and that will just suit me, as I am fond of crowds anyway. When I neared the gate unobserved?by the party?what do you suppose I saw?" "A crowd, I guess." "Yes, but not so large as T anticipated." "Well, what did you see, Mr. Snipe?" "Why I saw the old man sitin his old arm chair with hat oft' and collar unbuttoned reading aloud to his wife, his sister Sally and the children, and every few minutes they would break out in one of those big ha ha's, and even wipe the tears from their eyes before he would commence reading again. Of course when I drove up to the gate and hallowed, the old gent came out quickly, with paper in hand and finger on WHERE HE LEFT OFF. After telling my business he said : " Jes lite and come in. We were all so interested just now we did not see you until you got to the gate." Well the first question was: "Do you know the Old Chap of Yorkville?" "Yes sir." "Well I was just reading his advertisment to the old lady and the children and sister Sally, and *-e were having a good old fashioned laugh as we do every week over his advertisements. It used to be that sister Sally always looked first after the marriages, but since the Old Chap commenced writing his funnv advertisements, even sister Sally looks first for the Old Chap's advertisements. Sister Sally is about 40 and you know when a single woman of that age will cast her eye first for the Old Chap, what do you suppose will becomo of us men, married ladies and children in that direction?" "Well, my friend, I am surely glad that he makes it so interesting to you people in the country; he is quite lively when you get him on paper, much more so than when you see him in his office. His space in the valuable ENQUIRER costs hiin money, and money will make the best of us talk even if we do not want to. The Old Chap is always ready to talk when there is any meat and bread in it for his little wife and children. We are all ready to talk for bread. The Farmer, Mechanic, Machinist, Banker, Lawyer and Preacher all talk, and what for? For bread. They do not say bread, but it amounts to the same thing. It is all for bread, and the Old Chap wants bread, and talks to you every week for it; tells you how to make it and how to get ithimself. He tells you that by buying goods from him, you will save money and by so doing you can buy bread, and he will make bread. Every person is asked and advised to come and buy goods from the Old Chap. No doubt about it being the best place to buy. And Mrs. Dobsou is certainly the place to get all your Fashionable Millinery, and get all your Dresses Vau olxt'awo mi? rrAArl fifo qr?rl ninn it'Arlf All her fits and work are guaranteed. Work always delivered when promised. You need not send for it before as it will not be done, neither hats nor dresses, but always due when promised?without providentially hindered. Every person come and trade with the Old Chap or his little wife. T. M DOBSON. Leader in Millinery and Dress Making. WANTED. ! : 1,000 BRANCH MINNOWS. 100 GREEN FROGS. i j 100 YOUNG CHICKENS.

Some Valuable Information on thin Important Subject by John R. Ashe. r ^Notwithstanding the large quantities i of goods which have been pouring out of my r store during the past ten days, on account of the low prices for which they are being sold, i havo j still an immense Stock of Dry Goods, Hardware, c etc.,'which i moan to sell AT COST. JJ The announcement that goods are to be sold c at cost has been mado to the people so often * that it has begun to be looked upon as a deceit- -y ful dodge by many, and they may possibly be i correct in this surmise. Whether tho above as- s sertion be true or not one thing is positively cer- ( tain and that is simply this: The startling news , that a stock of goods is being sold at cost fails t to excite the interest it would surely do, were "-- . I -f - -1 .I--, n.. . I uie peopic sausueu uiai mey hkic hui utin6 imposed upon. Knowing, as I do, these important facts, I propose to make no assertion, the truth of which you cannot easily ascertain to your own satisfaction. This, my friends, is no ordinary case and it will not pay you to treat this offer with the indiflerence which is now so often justly accorded to the red flag. I am before the public proclaiming far and near that I. have a large and most complete stock of goods of a very superior quality, which I offer AI.IKE TO THE RICH AND TO THE POOR at NET COST. When I say Cost that is what I mean?the price which was required to lay the goods down at the depot. I bought them with reference to this price only, and no other expense is included in my offer to you. I propose to prove every assertion that I may make, if you will give me the opportunity, by selling the goods to you just as I say I will. DntviAt^iUAWfnoi fViA lYinmr Unina fUaf (l?AAlla lmvA 1VCII1UI1IUV;I1IIJ5 luu iimiij UIUV/O via??v ^vwu.i ??? v . been alleged to be offered to you at cost, I fully < realize the necessity of my giving you satisfacto- i ry evidence as to the truth of what I have to 1 say. Seeing is believing and all I ask is that ' you will come and see. If yon find that I am either misrepresenting my goods or the prices thereof, I will allow you to put me down at the head of your LIST OF HUMBUGS, and I will promise to lay no further claim to ; your patronage. Hut on the other hand, should j yon find that what I say is true, as I have no ; doubt you will, I think I will bo entitled to your ( favors. This proposition strikes mo as being ] fair to all parties concerned. Yon will please have patience while I enumer- j ate to you some of the many advantages it will < be your good fortune to secure during this t OBAND CLOSING OCT SALE. ' I do not ofi'er these splendid inducements uu- ( der the same conditions you have often been ] offered goods at cost (?) before, viz.: to get rid 1 of an old stock ; but under circumstances far 1 more favorable to you and myself than we have ever before had the good fortune to receive ^ the benefit. If you fail to realize the advantages which are thus placed at your refusal, until too j late, you, alono are to blame, and I have no \ doubt that it will be a long time before you cease 1 to regret the neglect of such a golden opportuni- ' ty as this one proves itself to be. Generally , when goods are offered at cost, it is for the pur- . pose of disposing of certain goods which cannot ( command a respectable profit, and also (as is advertised) to make room for new goods. These facts go to show that the goods which are ottered j you at a reduced rate are really not worth the room which they occupy in the shelves. When this is the case you find that everything in the store is at cost but the articles you may happen < to want. This is either a curious coincidence, remarkable fatality or downright ! Nothing like this will occur in my store. You have the opportunity to choose from as large | and varied a stock of excellent goods as can ho found in the county, and considering the fact , that they are positively to be \ SOLD AT NET COST there is not a farmer in the county who could not save money by a trip to my store while such bargains are to be obtained. Goods are sold at a < mere song as compared with the usual price. I have a lot of fine hats and shoes which are so 1 cheap that you would almost be ashamed to own 1 ill company me low price wuicu yuu paiu iur them, were it not for the unquestionable fact that the goods are I OF THE VERY BEST QUALITY and sold for prices much lower than their real ' value. Who, among you all, has ever bought j an inferior quality of shoes from Mr. Lindsay? i If any, you cannot say that he did not make I the bargain good. Neither can you say that tne 1 same complaint was ever brought up afterwards. J This being a fact which cannot be denied, you . can easily understand how Mr. Lindsay acquired his well deserved reputation. I will now endeavor to calm your fears on an- j other point. There are some goods which are , more in demand than others. This being the ] case, my stock would sooh be divested of its s most desirable lines, and thus render it a matter 1 of mere chance as to whether you find what you ! want or not. My stock would thus become rag- ( ged and be%no inducement to you at all. In ; order to overcome this very serious obstacle to < the sale of my goods, I have determined to keep ' the stock complete from the Northern markets j without any advance on prices. IJv this arrange- j ment I can dispose of the stock evenly and j when I close my doors only a few goods will i remain in the shelves, and I will risk the chances * of disposing of them to my own advantage. I repeat the assertion that there is not a better lot of goods in town than this one. Yon can not believe this bare statement nor will I ask yon to. It certainly looks strange that these ] goods which have no superior should ho offered lower than the lowest until you underdestand why you are given THIS SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY. < I will give you the explanation briefly: Mr. Robert M. Lindsay, the senior partner, having died recently, the Administrator, in order to speedily close the business affairs of the estate, found it convenient to dispose of the stock at once by private sale. I happened to be the fortunate ' purchaser and will tako great pleasure in giving ^ you the benefit of my bargain. If you need any- ( thing to be found in a flrst-class dry goods store, come and see me at once. I have no fear but ( that I can supply your demands. At any rate, ' it will certainly be to your advantage to give j mo a trial. , Every farmer is now needed at his plow, but there is one excuse which you can give for com- J ing to town and it is this, you can come to get the benefit of ? MY GREAT CLOSING OUT SALE. You will save more by your trip than you can ^ possibly lose by your desertion of the plow. A dollar is worth more in Yorkville now than it has been for a long while and they will go 1 further at my store than at any other house in town or in the county. The opportunity to purchase goods at such low ^ rates does not present irseii onen au? it is nut a good idea to ignore it when it does come. De- a lay, in all cases, is dangerous, and is especially s so in this particular instance. Judging by the 1 rate my stock has been going for the past ton j days, I cannot help seeing that this splendid s chance to buy your goods at such low prices s will soon have passed away. Do not think of ( such a thing as waiting until the crops are laid by, or even until it rains. Now is the time? strike while the iron is hot. Remember the old saying which deserves to be written in letters of gold, that is, "neVkr put off till to-morrow that which " SHOULD BE DONE TO-DAY." You all hold your cotton until it reaches as 1 high a price as you think there is any possibility j of its attaining. This is a good idea, practiced by all wise farmers, but there is not one of you who ever made as much by the advance on the ^ price of cotton as you now have the opportunity of making by the decline in the price of goods. (] This, my dear friends, is too good to last, there- s fore take heed from the many warnings you have ^ received and ^ "make hay while the sum shimes." }l It is unnecessary for me to try to enumerate " the names of the many articles which compose 11 my stock for J can give the same information I by saying that I have everything, and that in- 0 eludes a variety. If there is anything you need, just ask for it. First go to all the stores in _ town, examine prices and quality, then come to me and I feel confident that I will be greeted by the encouraging order to "wrap it up." t Kind reader, if you have borne 1113' discourse t, thus far, I will tire your patience 110 longer, but v after thanking 3*ou for your generous attention, fi would inform 3*011 that the time to buy is Now. lj The way lo buy is At Cost, and the place to * buy is at John It.

WINDLE'S COTTON CULTIVATOR. 'IIHIS valuable labor-saving machine has now X been perfected, and is offered to the planting community with every assurance that it will fully meet a long-felt want. The Cultivator is the invention of Mr. W. H. WINDLE, by whom it lias been patented. A trial test of the Cultivator lias just been made on the farms of Z. D. Boyd ind J. J. C'oltharp, near Fort Mill, in the presence if a number of experienced planters, and their opinion of its claims upon the farmers is given is follows: We, the undersigned, witnessed on the 17th of May, 18S4, the operation of Windle's Cotton Cultivator on the farms of Z. D. Boyd and J. J. C'oltharp, and we cheerfully certify that it did good work, and is just what the inventor claims it to lie. It is a double harrow, with hoes attached, ind harrows both sides of the row at the same time, chopping out the cotton behind the harrows ind leaving the plant in the drill, the stalks a listance of from 9 to 18 inches, as may be dedred. The cultivator can be operated as well by i person with one arm as two, as witnessed by us, loing good work and thus saving the labor of me horseand two orthree hoe hands. We consider the Cultivator one of the greatest inventions of the day. A planter using this machine 'or cultivating "and the cotton picker for gatberng his crop, can produce and save a large crop, ndependeut of much hired labor. Signed? T. T. Alexander, Z. I). Boyd, M.
