The tide has turned in our favor, and the indications of a revival In business are healthy. With the restora? tion of confidence, the business of the oonntry will be restored to normal condi? tions. _ A Wnshington dispatch to theLoula vllle Courier- Journal Bays that allfche big men at the capital are talking about the flrutnrrial situation, and the general opinion is that it will be the only ques? tion discussed, for the next two years. The Republicans are delighted that the question has been brought to the front, jasj^hey know, or think, it will hurt the democratic side more than their side. They are claiming that the Democratic party will split wide open, while they do not expect to lose more than 15 per cent, of their vote. Since his inauguration, Gov. Evans has shown more conservatism than his pre? decessor, and his opponents were dispos ? ed to give him credit for it and encourage ^and assist him in every act for . the good of tho whole people. But his utterances recently in, defying the United States Courts .and treating tho temporary injunc? tions with contempt shows-his lack of proper judgment The Governor of the State should be the last man to attempt or even encourage an attempt to defy : - tho Courts, He should be a man who . the people could look up to as an exam? ple worthy of imitation. Judge Goff'B in? junctions were only for a few days, and, right or wrong in their merits, they " should be respected. When our people lose respect for the Courts, there will be no protection for the honest, .'.aw-abiding citizen, Gov. Evans has mad a a mistake, and he will regret it in the future. the saints have pity on a town or city with a croaker in it I H it has two, three or half a dozen croakers living in it, it is to be commiserated that much ' more. The croaker comes in two forms ?dead and alive. The croaker has moss on tho north side of him, no matter whether the winter be mild or severe. '"The moss indicates nothing especially, except that he should be removed from the community at once. The croaker always views his own town from a pessi ? mis tic point ot vie w. He has no word of praise for any one nor any thing that tends to assist in tho progress of the communi? ty. You tell a croaker that mnoh Is going to be done toward booming the town and exploiting "its superior advantages, and he will say: "Well, you go ahead?ad? vertise It, boom it. I'd like to see you do it," with a shrug of the shoulders. "You'll never boom this town." The croaker is generally too lazy to labor un? der an impression. He may have made some money in his life, but he does not live?he simply exists. South Carolina Is now being canvassed by the', advocates of Woman's Suffrage, but we do not think that question will ever amount to mnoh here. If women voted they would naturally want office, 'and then would come the woman politi? cian. You would see men and women scrambling against each other in the mad rush for political preferment. You know j how black sometimes a man's character j is painted when he runs for office. What would they say of a woman in the heat of a political debate? Her honor, her character would be assailed. Think of the debatelbetween Mrs. Lease and Mrs. Diggs out in Kansas, when Mrs. Diggs called Mrs. Lease "an infamous liar" on the platform, and judge for yourself if women could hold that involuntary respect which every gentleman pays her if she entered as a competitor with man. She enters a crowded car and some fel? low thinks "she voted against me" and keeps his seat; she walks the streets and insinuations are whispered against her character by political opponents. She holds opinions of her own and votes against her husband, and discord enters the home when the wife kills the hus? band's vote. I On last Tuesday afternoon a meeting of the Board of Trade was held at five o'clock p. m. President Sollivan, In call? ing the meeting to order, stated that the meeting bad been called at the request of several of the members of the Board, to consider the matter of the building of the railroad from Knoxville to tide-water projected by Col. Boone. Capt. P. K. McCnlly was then called upon. He re? ferred to the road as outlined by Col. Boone, and the interest the people?busi? ness men?felt in the enterprise, the at? tention it was attracting over the country, and of the efforts that other points were likely to put forth to deflect the road. He stated what was being-done in Knox? ville and Charleston, and made a plain, practica], business-like statement of the i prospects and outlook for the completion of the road, and urged upon the business men of Anderson the importance of this line of road, and the necessity of work and co-operation. Maj. Whitner was next called upon. He stated that from private sources in Knoxville the people of that city were working right along in the matter; that those who at first re? fused to listen to Col. Boone's plans had come over to his side, and were now sup? porting him, and from the work that was being done Col. Boone either had money or backers, as lines of road were being surveyed. At the close of Maj. Whit ner's remarks Mr. J. L. Tribble followed with a few remarks in the same line of the others, and urged tho importance of our people taking some definite action in the matter, and offered the resolutions published elsewhere in to-day's issue. These resolutions were unanimously adopted. Capt. MoOally then moved that the President of th.3 Board of Trade, Mr. J.M. Sullivan, J. E.Breazeale, Esq., and J. L. Tribble, Esq., be requested to address the mass meeting bn next Mon? day, and that the Executive Committee, making arrangements for the meeting, request all the merchants and business men to close their places of business from 12 to 1 o'clock, noon, and attend this meeting. The meeting was characterized by earnestness, and if Col. Boone comes to Anderson, as is contemplated that he should, with the proper backing from Knoxville, he will find that our people will co-operate along the line with him in this gigantic enterprise he has pledged himself to complete.. We should not al? low this matter to lag one moment. Its value to our city, County and State, if the Railroad ia built, could not be estimated or measured by the standard of money, for it would infuse vigor and life in our people?new enterprises would ba devei ed, and these wonld be greater than money. Let us pull together, shoulder to sho ulder, and keep the matter before the people u n til success crowns the work. The medical statistics of this country i haye been studied by Dr. John T. Billings from the racial standpoint. He deduces many carious facts. The infan tile death rate among the blacks is very high; the race itself is shorter lived than the white; it Is less liable than tho white to malaria, yellow fever and cancer, but succumbs more readily to tuberculosis and pneu? monia. The Black Diamond Railroad. Editors Intelligences : It will be seen from the clipping below, taken from Sunday's Knoxville Tribune, that Cot. Boone's Black Diamond Road is taking on a practical business phsse.. Now, Mr. Editor, I am not a railroad man, and do not know much about building railroads, and judging from, the way Anderson has been left out heretofore, and the way she is now bottled up, I do not know any one in Anderson that knows, practically, much about building railroads. It was supposed by some of our business men that Charleston was going to take the lead with Knoxville in this enterprise, but if she has done anything yet, it is kept a profound secret. . Probably that is the best course to pursue, but in this age of progress men judge of enterprise by action. All things do not come to him who waits. It is the early bird that gets the worm. Anderson has waited a long time, and her waiting has never yet built or brought to her doors a railroad, aid now the time has come for action. Our waiting season is over. Now, Col. Boone may not be able to accomplish all he claims to be able to do, but there in one thing, that can be said, he has faith in himself, and in his ability to do what he undertakes, and my observation ia that generally that class of men succeed. No man ever yet succeeded that had no faith in himsetf. . The Board of Directors of the Western Carolina & North Georgia Railroad have wisely acted, in my judgment, in placing Capt. P. K. McCnllv as their President, and he has shown his zeal and faith in building this road across the mountains by giving both time and money without any compensation, but he needs help from the people of Anderson, and the people can rest assured that Anderson's interest will be taken care of by him if they will give him the proper support; and I believe that Col. Boone would be satisfied with any arrangement or offer that Capt. McCully's Company might make with their charters in connection with Col. Boone's enterprise. Would it not be infinitely better to get on the Boone train, that has got up steam and moving eastward, rather than wait for one from the east, and that is undecided as to whether it will go via Greenville, or perhaps Maoon-wardT What will Anderson do? Will our business men still wait, hoping for luck in leisure ? If so, this generation will pass like those gone before, and will never hear the sound of the engine's whistle. Luck is a fool, and never built a railroad. Pluck is a hero who wins success where others fail. When the Greenville & Columbia Road was located via Laurens the late Judge Reed, Stephen McCnlly and John Benson went to work with a will to do, and Anderson got the road. Again, with less prospeot and with as little hopes for success; the Savannah Valley Rostd was built, success being the reward of pluok and energy. Through the pluck and energy of a few men the old Bin was projected and completed to Walb la, and but for the war would have oeen completed to Knoxville. Mr. Editor, we cannot, as a business community looking to the future, Bit idly by, McCawber-like, waiting for something to turn up. Sure? ly Anderson can muster enough men with pluck and energy to help on this railroad scheme, the greatest project of all, until success crowns their efforts. J. L. T. About as busy a place as can be found along Gay street now Is the headquarters of Col. Boone's Black Diamond railroad. It is unusual indeed when a big crowd Is not congregated there and the interest is growing every day. The directors met yesterday and fin? ished the election of officers, making the complete list as follows: Albert E. Boone, president; Chas. L. Dunham, vice president; John B Harrison, second vice president; J. C. J Williams, general counsel; L. D. Dillon secretary; E. J. Pratt, treasurer; Cyril Hawkins, general agent; Henry Caseell general traveling agent. An assistant secretary and an assistant treasurer will be elected from Knoxville later. The application for the charter for the main line was filed yesterday in the county register's office. Col. Boone received a letter yesterday from a prominent citizen of Charleston in regard to the Charleston (Brown) move- I ment. It said: "I understand nothing has been accomplished in Charleston.'' This is perhaps the last of Mr. Brown, which is all the opposition Col. Boone has had. Col. Boone says there is only one way to build a railroad and that by the poople. Information was received at headquarters yesterday that a big meeting wouWbe held at Jellico to-morrow to close up the subscriptions ut that place. They have about gotten up what they were asked for. CoJ. Boone will likely go out there him? self. As enemies of Col. Boone are still en? deavoring to show that the Colonel Is not what he claims, Mr. J. B. Harrison wrote a few days ago to the Mayor of Zanes ville, Ohio, asking for a statement of just who Boone is. Following is the answer received: Zanesville, O., April 25, '95. J. B. Harrison, Esq., Knoxville, Tenn. ?Dear Sir: Answering yours of 23rd permit me to Bay, I am not and never was directly or indirectly connected with the Cherokee Laud Co., and have no interest in same, any way whatever. I have known Col. A. E. Boone for some years. That he has done much for our city no one can deny. I believe Col. Boone to be the greatest railroad projector and builder I have ever met. He possesses many strong points of ability that I have not found in others. His greatest weakness here exhibited was his liberality and frankness. He speaks right out in meeting, and often whereby simply keeping his mouth shut he would have fared better. He has the credit of being a liberal liver, as well as liberal in all his railroad work. Col. Boone's name will be respected here long after his body lies mouldering in the tomb. Respectfully, W. S. Bell, Mayor, and member of the State House of Representatives. Albert E. Boone, Leon Idas D. Dillon, Jno. B. Harrison, Cyril HawkinB, Chas. L. Dunham, C. S. Newman, E. J. Pratt, Wm. H. Gass, W. H. Richards, Curtis Cnllen, Peter Kern, Reps Jones, Chas. H Brown, A. Todtenhausen, J. C. J. Will? iams, Chas. J. Allison, C. W. Steele and J. P. McMullen filed application for a charter in Register Armstrong's office yesterday for the Ohio River, Knoxville and Tidewater railroad. The purpose is to construct a railway through and across the State, from a point at or near Jellico, thence South? wardly to Knoxville, to the State line at or near where the Little Tennessee river flows across said line, passing through the counties of Campbell, Anderson, Knox and Blount, with branch lines I to Isham in Scott county, to the State line Eastwardly from Jellico to connect with a road built from Plnevllle, Bell county, Ky., to Cumberland Gap, to Tazewell, to Corryton, Helenwood, Glen Mary, Sunbrigbt, Harriman, Rockwood, to Sevierville and Jones' Cove, to Mary ville, Sweet water, Madison ville and to Athens, Tenn. ^ Irrepressible Conflict. Colusiria, Apri:. 27.?The present tan? gle over the Dispensary law is just about as bad as it was at the inception of the system. The material difference is that the tangle now comes through the United States Courts, while in the first instance it was through the State Courts. The order of Messrs. Bryan & Bryan secured through Judge Simonton was something of a surprise in Columbia, but the Ad? ministration seems to be of' the opinion that there is much more strength in this move than there to in the Injunction pro? ceedings brought before Judge Goff. It is urged that in tha one instance the pro? ceedings were regular while in the order before Judge Goff the proceedings were irregular in several instances and that nothing will result from the restraining order that has been granted. This is urged because of the fact that the order is not directed again:it the constables in par? son as well as for other reasons. One of tho first things Governor Evans had to say this morning to the newspa? per men was that whoever thought he was "talking" when he said that he in? tended to pay no attention to J udge Goff's order were very muoh mistaken. He emphasized the point that it was his In? tention to pay no attention to the order to stop seizing liquor and that the consta? bles would seize e very package of liquor that came into the State, Judge Goff s orders to the contrary notwithstanding. Governor Evans went on to say that no offence was intended to the Courts, as such, but It certainly was his intention to have the constables continue to make seizures until there was something more than the present injunction. In a general way Governor Evans talk? ed about the matter of the Goff injunc? tion, and said that it was being generally watched. He went on to say that he had received letters from all parts of the country approving of his polioy and offering auch assistance as the writers might be able to render. One of the let? ters came from an Ex-Congressman from North Carolina and another from a distinguished Georgian. Governor Evans did not care to say anything for publication about the order granted by Judge Simonton, but he evi? dently attached more importance to that than to the first order upon the matter. Exactly how the State proposes to han? dle the two Dispensary cases is uncertain. Judge Goff has ordered the argument on the restraining order to be held in Colum? bia on the 3d of May and Judge Simonton has ordered an argument in the case he has on the 1st of May. The State will also have, at the same time, the registra? tion cases and no doubt a continuance will be asked in one of the cases. It is likely that the application will be made to Judge Simon ton, on the grounds that the papers in that case were the last to be received. It is also likely that the Judges interested in the cases will be asked to hear the cases together and have as near a full bench as possible to hear the argu? ments. During tho day Governor Evans re? ceived telegrams from Chester and other points that seizures of liquor had been made. He said that he did not expect to receive reports of many seizures, as the individual cases were reported to the Chief Constable and that in due time re? ports would be made to him. This morning Constables Beech and Lafar made a seizure at the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta depot. Three kegs of liquor came in packed in small boxes. Tue lot contained about fifteen gallons. Gen. McCrady and the Attorney Gen? eral have gone over the registration case In which Judge Goff has Issued a tem? porary injunction and have mapped out the proposed work. Governor Evans to-day stated that Gen. Edward McCrady, of Charleston, had been professionally employed to assist the State in the registration cases before Judge Goff. It Is learned with regard to the status of Gen. McCrady'b services in the regis? tration cases that he had offered to assist the Attorney General privately because of his familiarity with the master, but it was deemed best by the Governor and Attorney General that he be regularly retained to assist In the cases as counsel. ?News and Courier.

Bloody Work in Edgefield. Eogefielp, April 24.- -This morning at 'J o'clock in the store of Hammond & Co. at this place, B. L. Jones shot and killed John C. Swearingen. About three months ago Jones indicted Swearingen for obstructing a public road that led through the former's place, and Swearingen was tried and convicted at the last term of Court of the offense. It seems that soon after the obstruction of the road the rails used in forming the ob? struction were burned, and Swearingen claimed that Jones's son did the burning, while Jones alleged that Swearingen was the guilty party. ThiB among other causes brought on bad blood between the parties. A few days ago Swearingen caused the arrest of a negro and lodged him in jail, claiming that he could substantiate the charge against young Jones by the negro's testimony. Jones bailed the negro out. This morning Swearingen j came to town to see about the matter, and, as the testimony of the coroner's investigation discloses, on entering the store was askod by young Jones if he (Swearingen) had said he burnt the rails, and if he did it was false. Other words passed between young Jones and the deceased, during which time Mr. B. L. Jones came in and told Swearingen if he desired to talk to anyone to talk to him. Swearingen threw his hands on his hip pockets, at which both parties drew pistols and commenced firing. The wit? nesses could not say who shot first. Im? mediately after the firing Swearingen fell to the floor and died in twenty min? utes. The ball that killed Mr. Swearin? gen entered at the upper margin of the right eqr, penetrating the posterior por? tion of the brain. Jones was not hit. The verdict of the jury was in accor? dance with the above facts. Mr. Jones surrendered and is now in jail. The parties were brothers-in-law, Jones having married Swearingen'a sister. Swearingen was a brother-in-law of Sena? tor Till man and Ez-Congressman Ti 11 man. He had attained his 50th year and leaves a family.?News and Courier. Three Wives Stolen from Him. St. Augustine, Fla., April 25.?A re? markable experience has befallen Lewis j Capella, a prominent merchant of this ?lace. Three times he has been married ut his wives have been stolen from him by his brothers. Six years ago he made his first matrimonial venture. Six months after the wedding he awoke one morning to find that Mrs. Capella had fled with his brother William. Lewis procured a divorce from his faithless spouse and soon afterwards married again. Several months ago Lewis tired of wife No. 2, or rather fell in love with a Miss Rolleston, and obtained a divorce. While the divorce suit was pending, he was making violent love to Miss Rolleston, and all arrangements were perfected for the wedding. One day that Lewis did not call on MIbb Rolleston, his brother Emanuel did, and, with the lady's con? sent, laid a counter plot. The conse? quence was that when Lewis was ready to wed Miss Bolleston, he found that she had eloped with Emanuel. Mr. Capella bore his matrimonial mis? fortunes bravely, however, became re? conciled to wife No. 2, from whom he had been divorced, and two months ago re? married her. Apparently they were living happily until Mr. Capella's third brother, John, put in an appearance. Soon he noticed that Mrs. Capella and John seemed fond of eich other and yes? terday morning he awoke to find that the couple had eloped, taking the baby, the only child, with them. Mr. Capella is disgusted with his brothers and says he intends toapply to the Legislature, now In session, for permission to change his name, for he does not want to have any? thing to do with a family that has treated him so badly. Ingersol on Alcohol. The following wonderful piece of word painting has been frequently published, says the Chicago Tribune, but we reprint it at the request of several readers who desire r complete copy. Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll, in addressing a jury in a case whioh involved the manufacture ol alcohol, made the following terrible arraignment of the demon: "I am aware that there is a prejudice against any man who manufactures alco? hol. I believe that from the time it issues from the coiled and poisonous worm in the distillery until it empties into the jaws of death, dishonor and crime, it demoralizes everybody that touches it, from its source to where it ends. I do not believe anybody can contemplate the object without being prejudiced against the liquor crime. All we have to do, gentlemen, is to think of the wrecks on either bank of the stream of death, of the suicides, of the insanity, of the ignorance, of the destitution, of the little ohildren tugging at the faded and withered breast of weeping and despairing mothers, of wives asking for bread, of the men of genius it has wrecked, the men strug? gling with imaginary serpents, produced by this devilish thing; and when you think of the jails, of tbe almshouses, of the asylums, of the prisons, of the scaf? folds upon either bank, I do not wonder that every thoughtful man is prejudiced against this damned stuff called alcohol. Intemperance outs down youth in its vigor, manhood in its strength, old age in its weakness. It breaks the father's heart, bereaves the doting mother, extin? guishes natural affection, erases conjugal love, blots out filial attachment, blights parental hopes, brings down mourning age in sorrow to the grave. It produces weakness, not strength; sickness, not health ; death, not life. It makes wives widows; children orphans; fathers fiends; and all of them paupers and beggars. It feeds rheumatism, invites cholera, im? ports pestilence and embraces consump? tion. It covers the land with idleness, misery, crime. It fills your jails, sup? plies your almshouses, and demands your asylums. It engenders controver? sies, fosters quarrels and cherishes riots. It crowds your penitentiaries and fur? nishes victims for your scaffolds. It is the life blood of the gambler, the element of the burglar, the prop of the highway? man and support of the midnight incen? diary. It countenances the liar, respects the thief, esteems the blasphemer. It violates obligation, reverences fraud and honors infamy. It defames benevolence, hates love, scorns virtue and slanders innocence. It incites the father to butch? er his helpless offspring, helps the hus? band to massacre his wife and the child to grind the paricidal az. It burns up men, consumes women, detests life, cur? ses God, despises heaven. It suborns witnesses, nurses perjury, defiles the jury box and stains judicial ermine. It degrades the oitizen, debases the legisla? tor, dishonors the statesman and disarms the patriot. It brings shame, not honor; misery, not safety; despair, not hope; misery, not happiness, and with the malevolence of a fiend it calmly surveys its frightful desolation and unsatiatod havoc. It poisons felicity, kills peace, ruins morals, blights; confidence, slays reputations, and wipes, out national honor, then curses the world and laughs at its ruin. It does all that and more. It mur? ders the soul. It Is the sum of all villain? ies, the father of all crimes, the mother of all abominations, the devil's best friend and God's worst enemy." ? There was a bridal couple from Can? ada coming over on a ferry boat one af? ternoon. They were young and tender, and as they Bat together in the cabin they had hold of hands. This is perfectly proper and right, and we've all been there. Among tbose who looked on, however, was a lad of tender years, accompanied by his mother. The boy fazed and gazed, and finally turned to is mother and exclaimed in a voice loud enough for all to hear: "Say, maw, that Jfirl wants to wipe her nose and that fel ow won't let her." ?

It is a well-known fact that the milkmaids of Switzerland who can sing get better pay than those who cannot sing.

A child was cured of oroup by a dose or two of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. A neighbor's child died of the same dread disease, while the father was getting ready to call the doctor.

Jack Bladon, the notorious dispen? sary constable who killed a man in Spar tanburg while making a raid and was convicted of murder, but was pardoned by Governor Tillmau, has been dismissed from the force by Governor Evans.

When fevers and other epidemics are around, safety lies in fortifying the sys? tem with Ayer's Sarsaparille.

The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad Company a few days ago discharged forty-six engineers and fire? men because they frequented saloons and drank intoxicating liquors.

Their punishment followed as soon as their offenco was known. ?

Evangelist D wight L. Moody has placed himself in a questionable position in the eyes of the devout people of Texas.

Sometimes, three or four buy a schooner and make' the jour? ney under sail, managing the boat for the main part themselves. Others go down by steamer to Florida, build their own boat and explore the rivers in the south? ern part of the peninsula. ? Edward Murray, a boy eighteen years of age, has been taken to the asylum at Flatbush a hopeless physical and men? tal wreck. Cigaretts were the cause of his ruin. As a mere child he acquired the habit of smoking, and the desire grew on him so strongly that for the past year he has averaged 100 a day. When he was short of money to buy them he would wander about the streets, picking up the butts from the gutters. Both his hands were discolored by nicotine. ? Dr. Chauhcey DePew's "recipe for happiness is to keep in touch with the young. Join in their games, be a partner in the dance, romp the fastest and turn the quickest in the Virginia reel or the country dance, go up to the old college and sit down and light your pipe and sing college songs, take the children to the theatre and howl with them at the roaring farce, and laugh with them at the comedy and cry with them at the tragedy, be their confidant in love affairs, and, if they are not equal to it, write their love . letters, and never stop writing some for yourself." ? "Paddling up Sebec Lake last sum? mer in a birch-bark canoe," said a New York sportsman, "the breeze blew so bard and constantly that, try as I might, I could not kfep a match ablaze long enough to light my pipe. After a half dozen matches had flared out in the lighting of them, I made some forcible remarks apropos of my failure. "'Let me show you how to do.it,' said my com Clon, an old Callfornian, who was dllng the bow paddle. 'Hand me a bit of that newspaper sticking out of your pocket.' "He took the piece of paper and crumpled it up into a wad, which he retained in the palm of his hand. Then striking a match he closed both hands about it so as to shield it from the wind, after the traditional manner of the rail? road navvy in lighting his pipe. The flame instantly set the paper smoulder? ing on top without its breaking into a blaze. He passed the burning wad to me, and it served as a pipe lighter equal to a live coal, the high breeze fanning instead of extinguishing it. It was the simple invention of a practical mind, whloh served my turn then and afterward, and I commend the device to sportsmen needing tinder for a pipe light or to start a camp fire."?N. Y. Sun.

TOWERS. ?ITY MAMKWT. THE undersigned have this day formed & copartnership for the purpose of conducting a FIRST CLASS MEAT, FISH, OYSTER, VEGETABLE and PRODUCE MARKET. We expect to fur? nish all the tables in the "city," from the richest to the poor. It Is our aim, once you are our custom? er always one. We propone to handle nothing but the Tory best, and furnish everything that can be procured, and should we, by oversight or otherwise, sell you anything that is not satisfactory, send it back at our expense, as we would think you meant to treat us Just by so doing, instead of keeping the goods and complaining to yourself oryour neighbors that we were unscrupulous people and did not care what kind of goods we palmed off on our customers. We expeot to merit your trade by honest and satisfactory dealing, and we feel confident that we will get It. We have just given an order through that reliable firm, 6. F. Tolly A Son, for a large and commodious Butchers Befrlgerator, guaranteed to keep meats 15 to 20 days. Therefore, we will be able to give you good ripe Meats all through the hot Summer, as everybody knows that Meat fres'a killed Is not fit lor immediate nsa. We have also given an order for an Electric Motor, with which we expect to start early in the Fall the manufacture of all kinds of Sausage, for wholesale or retail trade. We hare also ordered Fang, by which to keep Our place cool and free from files, for if there is anything that disgusts trade more than anything on earth it la to enter a market and find the meats ami vegetables covered with flies. A word to the good ladies and housekeepers and we are done for the present with this our intro? ductory. We don't know whether every good housewife is cognizant of the fact or not, but there is nothing more annoying or perplexing to tlie average husband than to be troubled with the duties of buying tbe eatables for the daily supply of the table. So the husbaud whose good wife takes that care oflf his hands is fortunate indeed. Happily there are not a great many of that kind, for we have quite a number of good lady customers who come and select their Meats, Ac, with as much taste and talent as nome of the professional buyers of tho large city hotels, and we must say it is a pleasure to wait on them, for when they make their own selections we feel that there will be no complaint of anything not giving satisfaction. So, good ladies, lay aside your embarrassing Ideas and relievo your husbands of this arduous duty which, while he hates, he does without a murmur, yet at the same time he de? spises Remember that this is a progressiv? age, and that the good wives of husbands in large cities have been for years taking their baskets and going to the markets for their dally supply of meats, veg? etables, Ac. And remember there are no rich husbands in Anderson who are able to hire butlers, Ac, to do this buying for them, for as thrifty as our little city is there Is not a rich man In it. And re? member, again, that the good women of this fair land are engaging in every pursuit of life, thereby throwing them In contact with the world, a ad while it may seem indecent to some, we glory in tho spunk of tho girl that can get out and provide for herself, for the day has come when husbands, as a rule, are no good, thereby making marriaga a failure In deed as well as in truth, for our heart goes out for the good and iunocent girl that marries a pair ot pants. So we beg you to visit our handsome place, and we guarantee that while you are there that there will be nothing done or said that will cause the blush of shame to come to your cheek. You shall be treated as nice and polite as if you were in the grandest dry goods emporium 11 the State, noping to be favored with your patronage we are here to please the Ladles, feeling confldont that as to the Gentlemen that when you please the La? dles that they are more than pleased.
