The Clarendon Times says: Later advices from the Western part of Clarendon county give distressing details of the damages wrought by the cyclone. One lady had her jaw bone broken, while others sustained ipjuries more or less serious. It is reported that Mr. Weeks had caught around a tree, but his hold was torn loose by the violence ot the wind, and he was hurled for some distance, striking the ground with such force as to break several ribs and inflict injuries which we sincerely hope may not prove so serious as reported. Mr. Weeks' premises, Mrs. Manning's and Mr. Garrett's, we learn, are greatly damaged. ? Judge Aldricft wno nas Deen sunenng for several months with neuralgia, recently went to Baltimore to seek surgical relief. Respecting his present condition the Columbia Register of Friday says: A friend received yesterday from Baltimore the gratifying; intelligence that the nerve of Judge Aldrich's face was operated upon, on tne 24th ultimo, for neuralgia with perfect success so far. Dr. Tiffany, who operated, said on the 2oth ultimo, after dressing the face, "the patient is getting along finelyand says the writer, he is cheerful, eats well, and hopes to hold court in Orangeburg the latter part of the approaching term. ? Says the Florence Times: On FrMay] morning last, Elias Graham, a one-legged colored shoemaker of Florence, was found dead on Dargan street. The coroner held an inquest, the verdict of the jury being that he came to his death by drink and exposure. His body was allowed to remain where it was found, on a prominent street and near a private residence, from Friday morning until Sunday, when it was buried by council.

THE glorious old year of 1884 is past and gone with all its triumphs, and trials and wants; which have wrought many changes, either con- j firming our brightest expectations or revealing to us our disappointments: it is with feelings of gratitudeand pleasure that I review our business I relations during the past year, and with infinite ! satisfaction that I find myself better prepared to j serve your wants during "the year 1885, which is , now upon us and presents prospects and opportunities of a brighter and more prosperous nature than we have had before the agricultural community since 1878. Provisions and gram, sugar and* coffee, plantation hardware, and, in fact, all lines of goods necessary to plantation use, are cheaper, on an average, than since the war, and a good prospect of being able to cover the expected cotton crop at the old plantation password, "TEN CENTS," which should stimulate us all to put our shoulders to the wheel and do evervthine in our power to make this the crowning year for our southern country. IX PARTICULAR. I have a large stock and ample means for taking care of a large trade this year, and will protect the interest of any and all who make tueir bills with me. Special Inducements to Cash Buyers. I will not be undersold by any competitor in the trade, and will see that they are low enough or I will have all the trade. I offer 100 barrels of N. 0.

If you ; contemplate the purchase of an instrument? j either Piano or Organ?do not buy until you con- , fer with me. I can suit you with either instru- I inent and will make prices satisfactory.

A T the commencement of each year, all of us, /V more or less, make new resolves ; or, to use i popular phrase, "turn over a new leaf," and change our course for the future. All this is very good and necessary in many cases; but we 3o not intend to mend our ways. We are going to stick to the old motto of the past, which has so often been faithful and led us to success and which, in the course of time, is bound to win ; that is, A Dollar's Worth for a Dollar, Fairness toward all, and partiality toward none ; always keeping on hand a full and superior stocl< of DRY GOODS, At the very lowest possible prices. Knowing the trade as we do, and endeavoring in every fair way to please them, and having their confufence, we feel that the present year, and each year as time passes on, will add fresh laurels to our success, and that A Millennium is Now at Hand, When every tongue will speak forth the truth and declare tho Mammoth HEADQUARTERS For Dry Goods in Yorkville. We do not attribute all of the success%of the Mammoth to ourselves; but she is the offspring of the people, nurtured and reared by them from infancy, and now they can point to her and exclaim with pride, this is our handiwork ; and having been reared in the true path, now she is grown up she will not depart therefrom, but try to reflect credit on herself and be worthy of all interest taken in her heretofore, and of all patT-rvn n r*r\ KflofAuro/1 rvn hor llflrfluftfir Our stock, as we have said, though bearing the traces of the salesman's scissors, and the appreciation of the people for select and reliable goods, our counters still show up a Well Assorted Stock of Goods, A stock that is all fresh and in season and style, and we otter it in every department at the very lowest possible prices. In Clothing, we can stiil supply you with some of those Suits that are so popular and so cheap, Suits of any style, color ana material, and of the very best possible MAKE AND FIT. We know whereof we speak, as they have been tested for nine years, with perfect satisfaction. Several nice Overcoats left, which we will sell at very low figures. Gents' Dress Shoes in all the nobby styles, and a few of those Popular Stiff Hats on Hand. The perfect fitting Wheeler Ready-Made Dress Lining and Sleeve Patterns always in stock. AND NOW ALL WE ASK Of the people is to spend 1885 with the same encouragement they closed 1884, and to do by us throughout the year as they did in the past, and all will be well.* HUNTER A GATES. II.

AMID the manifold changes in the year's drama, its shifting scenes, its temporary entrances and its eternal exits, the York Drug Store man has still the privilege of a place on the stage, and rises to thank his fellow actors in life's theatre for their continued patronage and support, to wish them length of days and Godspeed in every laudable and lawful aim, desire and undertaking in the future.

Every person purchasing TWO DOLLARS worth of goods at one time will be entitled to a chance. The names will be entered on a book and each person's name numbered and on TUESDAY, AUGUST 25, next, at 12 o'clock M, 1 every number will be placed in a box by three ! disinterested persons and a child who cannot read will draw out the numbers. After the numbers are drawn the book will be referred to and see whose names stand opposite to the numbers drawn and they will bo entitled to the above prizes. ' THIS IS THE BIGGEST THING Ever offered in Yorkvillo. The Old Chap gave One Hundred Dollars away last August and the lady who got the buggy had only two chances, and you can see she did not trademuch with the Old Chap. So it makes but little difference about chances. The lady who got the sewing machine > in '82 only had one chance. So you see every* thing is done fair and square. This is no lottery " or humbugging thing. It does not cost any one a single cent, it is a free gift bv the firm; if it ' cost anything you might say it was gambling, 1 ministers of all classes and "denominations did r not hesitate to take chances; the Old Chap would not have anything to do with it if it was at all in the nature gambling. It is only an inducement for cash trade, so every person that comas . to Yorkvllle and has two dollars to spend will come and see the Old Chap, he will sell you goods just as cheap and give you i A Chance at A Fine Buggy, t Gold and Silver Watch and a nice Sewing Mal chine free of any charge, just for your kindness of spending Two Dollars in cash with him and for every 82.00 spent with him between now and August 25th, he will give you a chance. For ) 84.00 you get two chances, '80.00 three chances, and so on, you get a chance for every $2.00 spent. Mrs. Minnie Walker got the Buggy, Miss Addle a aim cmt tha Sowinc Machine and Mr. C. M. Parrrot got the Watch, so you see from the above the prizes vou will bo sure to get, and nice ones too. T^he Old Chap is the first in Yorkville to give his customers anything of this kind, in fact he is always ahead in such things. He had < the FIRST MILLINERY STORE And the first Dress Making Establishment in Yorkville and all the above have proved a success and others who have followed. If any one deserves the cash trade it certainly is the Old Chap, as he is offering what no other merchant has ever offered to his customers. So every person who has two dollars to spend call and see the Old Chap. Bargains in all departments will be offered now to reduce our large stock, especially in heavy goods. Remember we keep the Household, Singer, Howe and White Machines, all of which are first-class machines and will be sold as cheap as the cheapest, also Butterick's Patterns and Muschowitz Waist Lining for sale. Mrs. Dobson's Dress Making Department is in full blast, turning out as usual, nice fits, good work and at reasonable prices. T. M. DOBSOX & CO., . Leaders in Millinery and Dress Making. ! LAST NOTICE. The Old Chan would remind his friends who ; have not settled that they must do so at an early day, as his books must be settled. Look out and save cost. He needs and must have his money very soon. Remember there are few of you if the Old Chap had asked you for a loan of 8100 but that would have remarked at once, "When can vou pay and what security have yon to offer ?" But the Old Chap sells you goods, that is lends you money, as it were,'and asked no security and now he has to beg you to come up and settle. Many ho has to send for and then aoes not get the monov. Just think how you would like to * * - ?- til:?i. 00 iroaieu in MUCH a way. . ui 11, kv>iwc 11IHI the third time you will come up and pay the Old Chap without further trouble. | 0 OLD CHAP. ~ G. H.
