LETTER FROM CHESTER. Correspondence or the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Chester, May 13.?In order to givo the merchants and clerks, with whom Saturday is always the busiest day, a hotter chance to participate in the exercises, the celebration of Memorial Day at Chester was postponed this year from the 10th to the 12th. On yesterday afternoon the procession to Evergreen Cenmtery formed at 4.30 o'clock in front of the Methodist church, Maj. J. K. Marshall being in charge of the column. The Lee Light Inf8nty, bearing the battle torn llag of the Sixth regiment, were at the front of the line marching to the music of the Chester cornet band. Following in the wake of the musketeers and hornblowers, came a long line of carriages and wagons, the former laden with citizens and the latter piled high, from double-tree to hindgate, with children. The latter were out in full force, and contributed largely to make the day's celebration the most successful one for a number of years. At the graded school, a partial holiday had been given in order that the children might have abundant time to get their flowers and themselves ready, and they improved the occasion well. In fact they turned out so well and so numerously that there was a scarcity of room, although the merchants had lent their drays and wagons freely. At last the procession got ready and proceeded to - * rrn. it.? l me cemetery, mel t! me lunum oAoiuTOi vi the day were opened with a fervent prayer by the Rev. W. W. Daniel, after which .Major Marshall introduced the speaker of the day, Mr. W. A. Barber, who won liberal praise from the audience by the masterly manner of his handling his patriotic theme. Havingjust attained his majority, the speaker was not only debarred from drawing on knowledge born of experience, but was also prevented from claiming a place even among those whose "cradles were rocked by the thunders of artillery." Nevertheless, Mr. Barber rose to the occasion fully, and if he doesn't be careful how he talks out in meeting, somebody and everybody will soon be calling him the "young maneloquent.', At the close of Mr. Barber's oration, the ladies and children proceeded to decorate the graves of the soldiers, the supply of tlowers being unusually large. When this exercise was over l the military company drew up in line on the bill slope just above the soldiers' lot, and fired two salutes, after which the large concourse scattered homeward. Visitors to the cemetery yesterday afternoon were struck with the marked improvement in the appearance of Chester's city of the dead. The town council has recently lent its street force to the work, and this, together with the individual efforts of the lot owners, has worked a great improvement. Last Saturday was Children's day at Armenia church. The day was one of much pleasure and profit. The exercises at the church began with singing, Miss Mollie Clarkson presiding at the organ. Then, after a Scriptural lesson read by the Rev. N. B. Clarkson, and an opening prayer by the Rev. W. W. Daniel, the speakers of the day, the Rev. J. H. Yarborough of the Baptist church, Rev. S. R. Riley of the Presbyterian church, and Rev. W. "VY . Daniel of the Methodist, followed in the order named with instructive addresses. John Wishert, a white farmer living near Crosbyville, on the line between Chester and Fairfield, shot and killed West Lyles, a negro employed on his place, on Thursday. Wishert came to Chester next day and surrendered himself to Sheriff Hood. Lyles had a bad character, and there is strong foundation in the circumstances of the case for a plea of self defense. Mrs. Eliza Trussel, aged 63, died near Cornwell, on Friday, and was buried at Hopewell on the following day. Mrs. Sarah Blake died here on Sunday, and was buried at Purity church yesterday. The railroad commissioners ran over from Fish Dam to West Chester, one day lastweek, and inspected the line of the Georgia, Carolina and Northern road, between these two points. Saturday was a red letter day with the Masons of lower Chester and upper Fairfield. On that day a new lodge room and hall were dedicated at Crosbyville. Mr. W. H. Witherow came up from Winnsboro, and delivered an address, while Messrs. John B. McFadden, W. H. Hood, W. M. Corkill, W. D. Knox and John A. Blake went down from Chester, to assist in the dedicatory service. Mr. S. B. Lathan also started, but he fell in with a cotton trade on the way and failed to complete his journey. Arlintant-General M. L. Bonbam inspected the f-ee Light Infantry on the public square this afternoon. The company mustered thirtysix men. rank and file, and would have had more, but all the members were not supplied with uniforms and guns. Mr. W. H. Brawley, of Charleston, was in town on Saturday. Dr. and Mrs. John E. Walker, of Columbus, Ga., arrived on Saturday to visit relatives here. James Marshall came down recently from Davidson to spend a few days at Chester. Mrs. W. C. Owen, of Yorkville, has been spending several weeks with her son, Mr. J. A. Owen. Mr. W. C. Owen, also came down several days ago on a short visit. The Nicholson hotel, near the R. it D. depot, is being overhauled and repaired. Emma Montgomery, a colored woman living near town, came in Saturday to report that she had found her four months old child lying ciead beside her when she awoke that morning. Coroner Evans held an inquest, at which it was found that the child had died from natural , ^ causes. Several witnesses reported frost in the county' one or two days last week. Two more candidates appear this week, Messrs. H. S. Hardin and J no. B. McFadden, both for treasurer's office. Mr. W. H. Hardin, president of the Chester Manufacturing company, accompanied by Superintendent Dustin, left" last"weeK to purchase the finishing machine for the factory. Mr. and Mrs. Schiff, of Charlotte, are at Mr. I. L. Gunhouse's. Mrs. H. Baum, of Camden, returned home several days ago from a visit to her mother, Mrs. S. G. Heyman. The Rev. George Summey left this morning to attend the session of the General Assembly, at Asheville. Miss Annie Duffie has returned home to' Columbia, after a protracted visit to her sister, Mrs. Jos. Lindsay. Mrs. Lindsay also accompanied her. LETTER FROM GASTONIA. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Gastonia, N. C., May 13.?Rev. Mr. Fife closed a most interesting meeting hero yesterday. Gastonia has never in its history had ?nr?h a revival. The ntimhers and interest in creased as the meeting progressed. It was, indeed, a joyful sight to see old men who for years had worshipped only at the "Shrine of Bacchus," rising all over the audience and with tear-stained eyes and choked voice acknowledge their sins and promise to spend the remnant of life in the service of Jesus. Together with these, mothers bending with years, young men and maidens just blooming into manhood and womanhood, and boys and girls, with all the innocence ot childhood, in one continuous Btream pressed to the altar, to give the evangelist their hands. Mr. Fife says if he is "cranky" on any subject it is that of family prayer. Yesterday when he asked the number of fathers who had erected family altars during this meeting, there were twenty-five men with happy faces who rose up ana said they had, and "by the help of God they would keep it up." There were one hundred names handed in for church membership. and it is thought that there were between three and four hundred who professed their faith in Jesus Christ. The applicants for membership were as follows: Presbyterian, 99; Baptist, 18; Methodist 25; A. R. P., 7; Episcopal, 4; Lutheran, 4. Truly the Lord has done great things for us. A purse of six hundred dollars was given Mr. Fife as an expression of appreciation. About $300.00 was raised for the Y. M. C. A. and expenses. A party of 150 persons accompanied him to the depot, and as he entered the coach the choir sang that beautiful selection: "We will meet you in the City of the New Jerusalem." Mr. Fife left on the evening train for his homo in Fayetteville, where he will spend a few days. He begins an eight day service in High Point next Sabbath. Were I to stop here I would do a great iujusticeto that Godly man, Mr. Prior, who in his modest way did so much for us in this meeting. While Mr. Fife held three services a day, Mr. Prior held services all day long and a greater part of the night. He, in "his humble, Christ-like way, was continually beseeching men to accept that Saviour who had so richly blessed his own soul. Whenever the audience was most likely to become restless, this greatly-good man was sure to be found among them praying and distributing tracts. So modest and unassuming was he that your corresDondent. although he knew he was here, i did not see him for^three or four days. At a meeting of the Y. M. C. A. last night, 97 new members were enrolled. Our association has grown so much that it will be necessary to secures larger room. A committee was appointed to secure another hall. A party from Catawba county, consisting of Rev. Dr. Clapp, president of Catawba college; Capt. Reinhardt, one of the largest stock- I farmers of the State; Capt. Host, proprietor of the Bost House in Newton, and several others whose names your correspondent failed to learn, passed through hero on their way to Texas to prospect with a view to forming a colony. I hope they will return satisfied with our good "Old North State," for we need such men of culture and enterprise to help make our State what its natural resources entitle it to be?the first State in the Union. iihkt. LETTER FROM UNION. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Union, May 10.?Win. Davis, the murderer of Susie Fernandez, on the night of the 9th of January last, was hanged here yesterday. The drop fell at 11.43, and he was cut down at 12.02. Davis was converted to the Baptist church on last Monday, and was baptized in his cell j in a large bath tub on Thursday evening. On Friday morning, at 11 o'clock, the slier- i iff, with the number of witnesses required by I law, and the spiritual advisers of the doomed j man, proceeded to the jail. The sheriff opened the cell door and Davis stood smilingly before him. The sheriff then read the death warrant, I and after finishing asked Davis if he was ready [ for the execution. Davis's reply was; "I am j perfectly willing to go, sir."" The sheriff; then asked two mod to go in and dress him, j but Davis proceeded to dress himself, and did J ho. He then walked out of the cell into the large room, and going to the window bade all j of bis friends good bye, and spoke to them for j a few minutes. His funeral was then preach- ; ed and he joined in the singing of the hymns. j His shroud was then placed around him, and I his arms pinioned. lie then took his place on j the scaffold and asked his friends and the I witnesses to join him in prayer. He then offered a prayer for himself, the spectators and | the sheriff especially who had been so kind to j him. The sheriff then bid him good-bye and; sprung the trap. His neck was broken and he made only two weak contortions of the legs. Life was extinct' in 174 minutes. lie was perfectly cool throughout the whole : time, not showing even the least tremor. I?e i was smiling when he took his stand on the j scaffold. Davis held out up to a few days previous to the execution, that others were accessories to the murder; but a written confession made by him removes every shadow of a doubt as to the others, who were on trial for their lives. The sum of the sealed confession is as follows: "On the 9th of January he met Susie Fernandez on Main street and walked up to the guano ! house with her and then to a ditch in the rear | of the guano house. There they sat down and j began talking. While talking they became in- i volved in a quarrel, and he attempted to choke | her and then she began to scream; he then j choked her again and cut her throat. He says I that he was the only person who knew any- | thing of the murder, and that she was killed | on the edge of the ditch where she was found." | Rev. Mr. Pearson, the celebrated eyangelist, will begin a series of meetings in this place tomorrow. Work on the Three C's railroad has begun in earnest. Mesers. Ormand & Goforth, with a force of 300 hands, are at work four miles below here. In the last issue of Thk Enquirkr I notice that Miss Eliza Garner, is aunounced as a candidate for school commissioner for this county. Miss Garner has not announced her uame'as a candidate, yet; but it is generally understood that she will at an early day. It is also reported that a lady of this county, will also come out for the office of probate judge. w. o. c. ? nn/\\I TW1/1I7 II f T I LEiliEiK rftUJi nuun uiuu. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. ""vRock Hill, May 13.?Mr. Dauiel C. Williams died at this place on Sunday afternoon, and was buried yesterday at 5 o'clock in Laurelwood cemetery. The funeral services were conducted at the Presbyterian church by Revs. W. M. Anderson and J. S. White, after which the remains were taken to the cemetery for interment, escorted by the Knights of Honor, the Fire department, the town council and the Masons, of which orders he was a member. At the grave the Masonic order took charge of the remains and buried them with the rites of that order. The pall bearers were W. 13. Wilson, Jr., Iredell Jones, E. R. Avery, J. J. Roach, Wm. Whyte, J. H. Berrv, A. D. Holler, Jas. F. Reid. Mr. Williams was one of our most respected and valued citizens, as was demonstrated by the large attendance at his funeral and the suspension of all business in our town on yesterday afternoon. He was in his 61st year, and has always resided in York county. He came to our town from Yorkville in 1870 and has filled offices of trust in the orders of which he was a member, and served four terms as a warden of the towD. A number of the veterans of the 17th regiment, of which he was commissary, were present at the funeral. He was a member of company F. He goes to his grave as a man who was just and upright in all his dealings. In his death our county has lost a good citizen. A friend in all public enterprises and a mau ever ready to assist in building up our town. It is a,singular coincidence that Mr. Williams, Richard Sadler and W. N. Guy, three brothers-in-law, the former dying Sunday and the other two said to be now on their doath beds. The memorial exercises at Ebenezer on Monlay afternoon were largely attended and the addresses of Col. Coward and Mr. McDow were greatly enjoyed. The Catawba Rifles, of this place, attended. The lloral offerings were fine. No flowers over bloomed to such perfection as those placed upon the graves of our dead heroes. Your correspondent attended the picnic at Fort Mill on Saturday last, and spent a pleasant day. It was universally regretted that Col. Wilson who had been selected as orator of the day, was unable to attend. Short speeches were made by Hon. W. H. Stewart, Rev. J. 13. Mack, F. H. London and Rev. J. II. Thornwell. In going to Fort Mill by private conveyance, I was pleased to note the good stands of cotton along the road and see how far advanced the farmers are with their crops. Considerable excitement was caused in the neighborhood of the cottages of the Rock Hill cotton mill Saturday afternoon by a mad dog. Two children of Mr. W. C. Martin and one child of Mr. H. Machus were bitten. Mr. Machus at once took his child to Charlotte and applied the mad stone, which adhered to the wound for over two hours. Mr. Martin is now in Charlotte with his children. Capt. Iredell Jones informs me that there will bo another meeting of the "one delegate from each county" convention held in Columbia on the 20th instant, fdr consultation only. In the death of Mr. Williams our town will have to elect a warden to fill the vacancy. Mr. Jas. F. Reid has been mentioned and will likely be elected. Capt. J. Frank Workman has met with some misfortunes during the past week. He had a valuable horse to die, and a few days afterwards his blacksmith shop and all the tools therein were destroyed by fire. Rev. J. L. McLin, of Chester county, preached at the Presbyterian church here Suuday night. Sunday morning the oniy church open was the Episcopal, the ministers of the other churches being absent. T>$Irs. Caroline Wylie, mother of Mrs. Jno. fF. O'Neal, died at the residence of Mr. Jno. F. O'Neal yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Her funeral services will take place at 5 o'clock this afternoon. She was 78 years old, and a most estimable lady. The management of the graded school of this place have arranged for a picnic and excursion to Camden, Friday next. The excursion train will leave this place at 8 o'clock as I am advised ; but those who intend to go on this excursion had better be here at 7 o'clock, as the time of starting will likely be changed to that hour. hat.. LETTER FROM H00DT0WX. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Hoodtown, May 12.?The past week, with the exception of two days, has been quite cool, and the slight frost has caused the corn to turn yellow, and it is not growing much. There "were good stands of corn," but the bud worms have done considerable damage to it. Cotton seems to stand the cool weather very well and I think there is as good a stand as I have ever seen at this season. Some have begun to chop it out. Spring oats are all looking well, but wheat and fall oats will be almost a complete failure. There ha3 been a good deal of sickness in this community, which has kept our physicians ouite busv : but "it's an ill wind that blows nobody pood," and I guess the patient, generally speaking, thinks that if there is any good in being sick, the physician reaps the benefit. Rev. V. I. Masters preached two interesting and instructive sermons at Shiloh yesterday, and after the second service the sacrament of the Lord's supper was administered. The Shiloh Sunday-school is making an effort to procure an organ, and I learn has mot with very liberal contributions so far. With an organ the school can bo made much more attractive, and music is or should be, an important feature in Sunday-school work. Rev. Mr. Masters also delivered a lecture before the Shady Grove Sunday-school in the afternoon, which was highly 'edifying to all present. ramrler. LETTER FROM BLACKSTOCK. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Blackstock, May 12.?After the tine rains that visited our section and gave such promise of bringing the cotton to a fine stand, our farmers felt no little uneasiness when the cool change last Wednesday evening made us believe that a frost the next morning might reasonably be looked for. Some report that there was frost on Thursday morning, but no harm seems to have been done. The genial face of Mr. Paul McCorkle of your town was seen on our streets last Friday aud Saturday, he being engaged in sampling a lot of seventy-five bales of cotton that he had purchased from one of our firms here. Another firm sold a lot of cotton to some buyers from Winnsboro on the same day. So Blackstock is still keeping up its reputation as a fine cotton market. On last Thursday afternoon a large crowd of negroes assembled at the depot here, awaiting the arrival of the train from Columbia, on which the remains of Sherman Rosboro were brought here for burial. This young negro had left Blackstock the first of this year, and was employed on the construction train of the Newberry railroad, when he met his death by being knocked under a moving car by a heavy piece of timber which he was helping to handle. Misses Sallie Mills and Julia Elder have come home from All.IIealingSprings institute,where thev have been pursuimr their studies for the past collegiate year. Miss Mary Aiken left last Tuesday for Winnsboro, where she expects to spend a week or two before returning to her home in Cokesbury. LETTER FROM UNION COUNTY. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Etta Jank, May 12.?Capt. S. S. Walker was buried at Skull Shoals church last Tuesday. His funeral was preached at Mesopotamia church by Rev. A. A. Gilbert, of the M. K. church, of which he was a member. The text was Romans xiii, 11, in connection with I Peter iv, 7. Mr. Gilbert made a powerful appeal to the living to prepare for death while time and opportunity was afforded. He had elicited from the dying man sufficient evidence to conclude that he died in the hope of a blessed immortality beyond the grave. Miss Mattie Wilkinson died at Trough Shoals last Thursday, and was buried at Salem last Saturday. From what I heard she died of heart disease. She was the daughter of Mr. Henry Wilkerson who died at Hopewell about two years ago. Rev. R. P. Smith will begin the communion | services at Salem next Saturday at 11 o'clock I a. m. The sacrament of the Lord's supper will bo administered on Sabbath following. The Sabbath-school exercises will begin promptly at 10 o'clock, a.m. sioma. His Keligious Belief.?Some questions having been raised touching Captain Tillman's religious belief, Mr. J. 1). Shaw, the editor of the Bishopville Eagle, wrote him upon the subject. Captain Tillman in his reply says: "I am neither an athe- j ist or an infidel, although not a member I of any church. I have always attended ! divine service, and contributed to the j support of the gospel. I love God. 11 don't fear the devil or any man, for my conscience is clear." The Captain expresses the hope that those who circulated the report about his religious condition, "may not make the acquaintance of his satanic majesty when they die." ??? ? Hon. Frank II. Lubbock, the war governor of Texas, is now the treasurer of that State. His accounts have recently beeu closely examined by an expert committee and were found to balance to a cent. An official statement shows in the hands of the treasurer $1,8G2,650 in cash, and bonds due the State for the lease of school and asylum lands, $7,501,023. Here is an aggregate of over $0,000,000 in cash and solvent funds in the care of the treasurer. Texas has a rigid routine for verifying the condition of its treasury, but it pays to be rigid.

I have got the cash to spend. Mr. Latimer?Yes sir ; we do exactly what wesay we will do, and we will atall times meet the^nost galling competition and protect our customers at all hazards. You have a good credit though on our books and I don't exactly understand why it is that you propose to spend your money to day with us when you might use it for three months without inconvenience to you or myself. Mr. Blank?Mr. Latimer, T have this money to spend?about ?75?and I propose to spend it with you. Do you suppose that I am withoutgratitude? Yousold meyourgoodson a credit, and now I propose to pay you the cash for these goods in order that, you may be better able to accommodate me. Why should I buy my goods on credit at one place and pay cash to another?a man to whom I am under no obligations whatever? Mr. Latimer?Why, Mr. Blank, you are under no obligations whatever to me, only to pay what you have obligated yourself to pay. True, I have never had any objection to selling goods for Cash, for I have always identified myself with Cash customers, and, in fact, prefer cash transactions to any other, for the only difference between the two with us is the interest on the money, and money can always be loaned at interest. Mr. Blank?Well, Mr. Latimer, you seem to take a magnanimous view of the situation, which is always commendable, but so far as I am concerned ! propose to buy all of my goods from you, just as I have been doing for the past eighteen months, with the exception of one instance last year, when I went to a "strictly cash store" and bought ?41.55 worth of goods on thirty days' credit, and they put a "cash slip" in the drawer against me. I never realized what I had done until I saw the "cash slip," filed against me, when I went to nay the bill. It was only then that I realized that I hadn't acted above board and given your stock at least an inspection. From you I could have obtained at least the same terms with as lowf prices without having to tolerate tne gnawing of a guilty conscience. Your methods of doing business are well known to the public, and I have related my experience to several of my friends, and they, like myself, have arrived at the same conclusion that they propose to help those who have confidence in them. Mr. Latimer?Mr. Blank, I certainly feel grateful that you entertain such a feeling for my establishment, and you shall, before you leave this house, feel that you have all you paid for, receiving full value for your money. What kind of goods do want to buy this morning? Mr. Blank?Well, my daughter and wife wish to get some Low Quarterd Shoes, a Nice Dress or two and lots of Millinery. I know that you can suit them, and if you have any Straw Hats I will look at them. I want them for my boys?something nice. I also want a Cravat if you have anj\ Mr. Latimer?You are on the right track now, for we are offering tremendous inducements in all the lines you speak of, having bought largely and having been shown considerable favoritism by wholesale dealers. In Straw Hats, Millinery, Dress Goods and Fine Low Cut Shoes for Ladies, we do uot recognize competition. Why, Mr. Blank, by next Mon''oi' n?r olft will i->Q niTiwrlofl frnm Dan t.n Beersheba. W. C.

It seems that at the prices at which we can mark the graves of our loved ones, that there should not be an uncared for mound for miles around. Ilavo these mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters, who havo already crossed the river of death ever deprived themselves of comforts and pleasure for you ? Would they not do it now, wore it in their power? Why then arc we so slow in erecting This lust Mark of Respect? A rite and privilege we have had for more than a thousand j'ears. Is it from indifference, irreverence or for the want of that great love that wo should have ? Is it because wo think of nothing but hoarding up gold? Answer these questions in your own mind and decide the matter for yourselves.

Our name and business is known from the Catawba on the East to Broad river on the West, from the mountains on the North to the interior of Chester and Lancaster counties on the South, and it is not only hundreds, but thouands who can testify to the wonderful low prices and to the excellent quality of our goods.

THE PERFECTION SIDE HARROW"|~|URING the past ten or twelve years the JLW USO 01 lilt) siiib liiirruw iur uic vunivauun i of cotton, lias become almost universal, and it is to-day recognized as a necessity by the farmer. Until the past three or four years this branch of the agricultural implement industry has been neglected by the manufacturers, and up to the time mentioned every farmer made his own harrow, and often the result was a clumsy, ill-proportioned, unsatisfactory implement. We have recently found a manufacturer who knows exactly what aSide Harrow should be, and he also realizes that they must be sold at a close figure. We now have on hand a limited supply of the PERFECTION SIDE HARROW, and would respectfully ask the farmers of the county to call and examine them and get prices. The price is so small that you will hardly believe we mean what wo say when we tell you what it is. We hope that all farmers who want harrows will call at once, for if the matter is postponed until the harrow is needed the demand may exceed the supply. ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE. We have a large stock of Plows, Plow Stocks, Trace Chains, Hames, Hamestrings, Leather llackbands, Plow Lines, Bolts of various lengths and sizes, Nails, Horse and Mule Shoes, and we know that prices will please purchasers.

G. H. O'LEARY. JOHN MAY, JR. <& CO., Dealer** In GENTS' FURNISHING GOODS. Yorkvflle, S. . "COME IIV," "GET OUR PRICES," "SAVE jHOVEY !" Notwithstanding the fact that "he who steals my purse, steals trash," we stick closer to our purses and take greater care in insuring them against theft than anything else. This is right. It is not only morally approved but it is a point of business. Nobody is blamable for preserving and taking care of that which he has. We so admire that in a man that we have a desire to assist him in it. Now we say to all those who wish to "SAVE MONEY," "COME IN," and "GETOUR PRICES." We will sell you your goods Cheaper Than any Firm in Yorkville, And when we say that, we don't mean that we will sell you cheap goods, but that we will sell you good goods cheaper than any man in town will sell you the same quality of goods. THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SELLING CHEAP GOODS AND SELLING GOODS CHEAP. We affirm that we do and WILL SAVE OUR CUSTOMERS FROM 10 TO 163 PER CENT. ON OUR nnmio uw uu. We offer these advantages to our trade. We have a large stock of everything generally kept in a First Class Furnishing Store And which go to make a gentleman's wardrobe complete. We have an elegant stock in all deSartments and our trade is increasing every ay. Our Goods, prices and business methods are doing their part in the great scramble for precedent and patronage. We keep nothing shoddy, and guarantee everything we sell to bo Just as we Represent it to Be. We get adyantages in buying and sell our goods on the shortest possible profits, giving our customers the advantage of the "tricks in the trade" that they otherwise could not obtain. And we want everybody to bear in mind thatau open invitation is extended to all to visit our FURNISHING STORE, where they shall be met by polite and courteous clerks, who will take great pleasure and spare no pains in showing purchasers or lookers. What we Haven't Got, Is Coming. We claim that we have almost everything that a man could want in the way of wearing apparel now, and what we are short on now, IS ON THE ROAD.

We carry a line of the Celebrated Hess Shoes. We carry a line of good Plough Shoes, and as a medium grade Shoe we are offering the J. W. Thompson's $3.00, which is endorsed through its merits in wearing qualities. Every customer who buys a pair will endorse them, which undoubtedly is worth the price. We Didn't Forget the Ladies, No. We haven't forgotten the Ladies, for we have one of the nicest stocks of FINE SHOES FOR LADIES EVER BROUGHT TO YORK. They are shapely, made of the very best material and are perfect gems of mechanical ingenuity, combining comfort and durability to a highly finished design.

We do not lead simply because the senior member of our firm is the oldest druggist in Yorkville. We do not lead "by right of posses sion" or througn tne "priority ciaim, out wo are the Leading Druggists through DESERVED MERIT, UNTIRING ENERGY, CARE IN COMPOUNDING AND QUALITY OF INGREDIENTS. This is one of the many reasons why our Drugs business extends over such a vast territory contiguous to Yorkyille. Another reason that we are the Leading Druggists is that we carry a splendid line of everything that you would expect to find in a tirst-class Drug Store, and at prices commensurate with the quality of the articles sold. It is impossible to enumerate our stock?it would require a whole page of this paper?consequently it is necessary to give only a few notes on our latest purchases. Wilber's Breakfast Cocoa And PHILLIP'S DIGESTIBLE COCOA for Dyspepsia are highly recommended by every one. If you are suffering from Indigestion buy it and try it. TARITE. Tarite is something new in this market, but is one of the best disinfectants for exterminatings Moths, Ants and all kinds of insects ever known. It is made to be used in packing away CLOTHING, BLANKETS AND QUILTS, or anything that is likely to be attacked by moths or insects, and it will preserve them and keep them just as good as when packed away. Moths can't live where Tarite is placed, and you can have no excuse for having your winter clothing ruined when a small outlay will save them. PRATT'S CHLORIDE Is a magnificent disinfectant for Out-houses, Sinks and Back-yards, and now while the Sanitary Committee is on duty, is the time to use it. But it should not only be used when the Sanitary Committee is on duty, but during the entire summer. Always keep it on the premises. Canary Bird Seed.

May 7 19 4t THlfCAROLINA BUGGY CO.. YORKVILLE. S. C. TWO THINGS ARE NECESSARY. TWO things are necessary in order to do a successful business in bur line, and it is our constant aim to meet these requirements, and we think we have succeeded. The first requirement is to have the kind of Vehicles that the public want, and the second is to sell them at BOTTOM PRICES. We rarely ever fail to please in both these particulars. We always try to keep on hand a large and varied stock, consisting of CARRIAGES, PHJETONS, SURRYS, BUGGIES AND CARTS, and our object in having these Vehicles is to meet the demands of the public in our line. We now have on hand a very fineselection of the Vehicles above named, and should we be unable to please purchasers with what we may have in stock, our facilities for manufacturing are so complete that we can turnout any style of Vehicle desired ON VERY SHORT NOTICE. We propose to sell Vehicles and lots of them, and we propose to compete both in quality of work, style and prices. We do not ask patronage because wo are running a "Home Enterprise." Oh ! no, we have long since learned that that kind of a plea is n? g?, and that in order to do business, business methods must be used, aud thus compete with all others in the same line. Come and see us and talk Buggy to us. We like to talk Buggy talk, and are confident we can interest you. We will now say a few words about WAGONS. We don't manufacture the Wagons we sell, but they are good Wagons just the same. We know they are good, because they have been tried by hundreds of farmers and others in this section and pronounced to be the best. We sell the "OLD HICKORY" and "TENNESSEE." They are first-class Wagons, and at the same time sell at a very reasonable figure. Don't think of buying a Wagon until you see what we can do for you, and if our prices are not as low or lower than anybody's, we will cheerfully submit to our competitors' making the sale. Now, give us a showing. REPAIRING. All repair work entrusted to us will be done promptly and in a proper manner. We solicit this class of work and fed sure that we can give satisfaction every time.
