We expect to hear of some of the young ladies buying these cigars by the box. Dn H.

She knows exactly what suits her customers, and has pur? chased accordingly. Having bought these goods cheap, she will sell them cheap. Read her new advertisement, ladies, and then call at her store and let her tell you about the new styles and fashions. Cunningham & Fowler's store is crowd? ed with new goods, and in order to get rid of them rapidly they have determined to sell them at wonderfully low prices.

Since tho fire they have been resting, and now that they aro ready for business again, they propose to offer hotter goods at lower prices than ever before. A cordial invitation is ex? tended to their old friends and customers to call and see them. Road their adver? tisement. On last Sunday a little daughter of Mr. W. J. IL Hix, w?ho resides near Pendleton, came near meeting a most unusual death. His children had been digging a cave in a lot of fresh gathered cotton, which was stored in one of the rooms of the house, and left it standing there. His littlo daughter Lizzie, threo years old, went into it with some kittens to play, and it caved upon her, covering her up, leaving only her feet out. When her father dis? covered her a short time afterwards, she was limp and breathless, appearing to be dead. Respiration was with difficulty restored. Hor discovery was accidental, aud throughout her rescue may be said to have been almost an accident. Mr. Matthew Suipos, an aged and ro spocted citizen of the Mountain Creek section of our County, died at his resi? dence, some six miles Southwest of An? derson, on Monday afternoon, at 5 o'clock, after an illnoss of five weeks from somo affection of the kidneys. Mr. Snipes was born and raised near Smithfield, N. C, removing to this County when he was sixteen years old.

Hays, in the presence of a largo number of the friends and relatives of the deceased. The pic nie and mass meeting at Town ville on last Saturday, in the interest of the Townviile Academy, was largely at ; tended, and was a most pleasant meoting throughout.

Speeches appropriate to tho occa? sion were made by Messrs. E. B. Murray, H. G. Scudday and J. G. Clinkscales, and statements as to the work of the proposed school were made by Profs. Boleman and Thornton. After the speaking an abun? dant pic nie dinner was enjoyed by all present. In the afternoon the committee appointed to canvass for the school did its work, but we have not heard the nature of its report. The occasion was in every way worthy of the hospitable and pro? gressive people of the Fork. Mr. Robert Maxwell died at Pendleton on the 17th inst., after an illness of several months, which he bore most patiently. He was born on the 22nd day of July, 1824, consequently was in his sixty-second year. Before tho war ho was a member of the S. C. House of Representatives from Pickens County for two terms, and a member of tho Senate for one term. Ho went into the army in Company "K," 4th Regiment of S. C. Infantry, and in tne first battle of Ma nassas showed groat courage and cool gal? lantry as the color-bearer of the Regiment. He was wounded in the battle of Seven Pines, where he also displayed his gal? lantry. Since the war he has been living a quiet life at his home in Pendleton, re? spected by all who knew him. In the year 1877 he joined tho Baptist Church at Pendleton, and has made a most faithful member. His remains were interred in the Baptist Church Cemetery at Pen? dleton on Friday last, after appropriate funeral services conducted by Rev. C. P. Ervin. re tit Jurors.

Peoples & Co.'s the other afternoon and were very courteously shown through their establishment- Their business is increasing so rapidly that they have been, forced to give themselves more room. The adjoining room, which, for tho past year, has been occupied by Means & Mc Gee, has been connected with their old quarters by having a large doorway cut through at both euds of the Avail. These two spacious rooms give them ample room. Their old room is devoted exclu? sively to tinware, stoves and other goods in that line. They havo always carried a large stock of these goods, but in future it will be much larger. In the other room an immense stock of crockery, glassware, silverware. Ac, is being opon ed. "Here," said the junior proprietor, "we are going to keep the largest stock of crockery that has ever been brought to this section of the State. Wo can supply our people with anything from the most common ware to tue most expensive hand painted China goods." As wo walked through and looked at the goods, wo were struck with the low prices they aio being offered at. An elegant tea set, breakfast set or dinner set may bo purchased for a very small sum. Tho Bohemian glass? ware is very pretty, and is shown in sev? eral different colors. In this article we could not begin to mention all the beau? tiful goods, and we can only advise our readers to pay the establishment a visit and see for themselves. Immediate Delivery System. This sysiein, by which a letter mailed at any Postoffice in the County, and having on it a special delivery stamp of the value of ten cents, and directed to any Postoflice named in the list of "special delivery offices," goes into effect on the 1st of October. Such letters con? taining a special delivery stamp, in ad? dition to the regular postage thereon, are entitlod to prompt dispatch from the mailing office, and immediato delivery on arrival at tho office of destination if within one mile of the postoffice and within the carrier limit where the free delivery system is in operation. Reg? istered letters will bo entitled to imme? diate delivery, the same as ordinary let tors, when bearing a special delivery stamp, in addition to tiio full postage and registry fee now required by law. Cities and towns must have a population of ovor 4,000, as shown by the last Federal census, before they aro entitled to tho ?'immediate delivery"' system. Charles? ton, Columbia, and Greenville aro the thrco cities in South Carolina which will enjoy this privilege. Tho now stamp is thus doscribod : It consist* of a line ongraving on stool, ob? long in form; dimensions 11-1G by 7-16 inches; color, dark bine.

Across the top of tho tablet is the legend "Special Postal Doliver3'," and at the bottom tho words "Ten Cents," separated by a small shield bearing the numeral 10.

Mr. Editor : Wo are now approaching the harvest-time of our Summer crops. Providence has singularly blessed us all in various ways this season. It delights the eye of even the wayfaring man to view the wide-spreading fields of corn and cotton which deck this sunny land of ours from its four corners. Prosperity stares us in the face The rains continue to come? ? corn and cotton to grow. Everybody is happy, and verily we have many things to be thankful for; yet there is one thing none of us seem to appreciate as we ought, and it is that in order to be prosperous in this world a man must bo as careful in saving ns he is in making. For instance, the Fruit Crop is short, and yet there will be enough wasted in this County this sea? son to feed a regiment of hungry soldiers six months. If our people would go to the little expense, and less trouble, of securing a package of this Fruit Preserver from Him. Bros., they could keep all the fruit and vegetables they didn't need this Sum? mer for next Winter, thereby saving great expense and providing a luxury for them? selves and family. There is no doubt but that the prepara? tion will do what is claimed for it. Sora? of our best people used it last year, and are using it, and recommending it to their friends, this season. We wish to sec everybody prosperous, happy and comfortable, and would sug? gest that, in order to be so, they must look closely after small matters. More anon. RUSTICUS. August 20,1885 0 _ ft. P.
