[ Those indebted to us on Drug Account for this year or last year, or for Fertilizers for this or any other year, are hereby very respectfully, but at the same time, urgently requested to come up and settle with us by Cash. Nothing less will satisfy us and enable us to run our business an- j other year. "The man's going away." t JNO. C. KUYKENDAL. j JOHN R. ASHE. J ACTD PHOSPHATE AND OUANO. ' AS the season is so far advanced for the sowing of small grain?Wheat and Oats?I would recommend that the use of Fertilizers be indulged in to a small extent. I have on hand a few bags of high grade Acid Phosphate, prepared expressly for small grain crops. Also, a few bags of Guano, which I will sell cheap' for Cash, or ex- g change for Cotton Seed. I will sell Acid Phosphate at ?20 and Guano at ?30, or will receive Cotton Seed in exchange at 124 cents per bushel. In large lots of either, I will do a little better. . SEEDS. ^--1 1 /"? f'lA.fOH wruiiuru uiuos, uiur uims auu viutci uuuua offered below the market price. Every farmer should have a lot or field sown in Grass and 1 Clover, as it will pay better than almost if not c any other crop. I speak on this subject after n experimenting. POWDER. The price of Powder has been advanced; 25 pound kegs, FFFg, for $5.00 ; other sizes in proportion. " f SHINGLES. I am offering as good a Shingle as is made in i North Carolina, for $2.75 per M. Don't want any a more than this price to get rich on, but can't take c any less, and this means Cash or no go. THANKS. I extend my unqualified thanks to my many friends and patrons for their continued courtesies ^ and favors shown me through the year now drawing to a close, and pledge my best efforts to merit a continuance of the same in the future, and hope that nature's smile may rest upon one and all, both friend and foe, and that they may s enjoy a merry Christmas and a happy and pros- k perous New Year. Ill IVIemoriaiii. There are still a number of Accounts and Notes for Goods, Guano, Mules, &c., for both old and new transactions, j'et unpaid, and I would again impress it upon the memory of all that I want 1 what is due me, and must have it. -I JOHN R.

I W ELL, I must appear before you once more before this hard old year closes, and ask _ you to come up and settle with me, if you ever expect to get another accommodation from me. J We hear people say N * Times Are Hard. r So they are, but if everybody would pa? the J merchant all they could, he could run them 1 iigain. I know my friends can pay me some- J thing. I need it now worse than I ever did in all \ my life. Then why will you, every time you see ^ me, say * 1 c I WILL FAY YOU SOON ? 1 I cannot pay my debts that way. Our Northern creditors will not accept such promises from us from day to-day. If the people could appreciate the merchant's condition, I know they would be more prompt. Now, I hopo my friends will come to see me before this old year is numbered with the things of the past. I hope to be able to Help My Friends Next Year, When the long summer days come and corn and t meat are scarce. C'. G. PARISH. c w. c. latimerT " CLOTHING ! CLOTHING! !
