The new congressman from Maryand, Booz">, should be made chairman of the committee on alcoholic liquor traffic. The New York Journal figures that the election of McKinley cost the Republi cans twenty-four million dollars. Rath er an expensive luxury. The Cabinet gossips are at work now building one for McKinley. Several prominent Republicans in the South are suggested for various positions. Tuo continuous campaign idea, it seems will prevail. The campaign committees of both parties will soon set up shop in Washington City, prepared to keep things moving for the next four years. The football season, with its scramble and excitement, has closely followed up on the heels of the presidential campaign, and-the country barely has time to recov er from one spell of fever before it is seiz ed with another. According to Secretary Morton's annual report, only 2S per cent, of the farms of the country are mortgaged, and, contra ry to the general idea, the greatest ratio of martgages ani to be found in the JSTortb Atlantic States,, New Jersey lead ing. m The strangest of all strange things, hyp notism, is coming into practical ntility and may at some period not far distant do ?way with much of the uses of anesthet ics. Teeth drawn without pain and a delicate abdominal surgical operation on a child are among the late feats of hyp notic power. If science does not find some evil connected with the treatment in the way of after effects it would seem to promise muoh alleviation to suffering humanity. * ^Recently there was hauled to the post Sp, office at Beaver Falls, Pa., 60,000 large envelopes containing a report of the bear ing before the judiciary committee of ?~r-^0B"gress on tho proposed Christian amendment to the Constitution of the United States; also a memorial for the ac knowledgement of God and Christ and ie Bible in the Constitution of the Uni ted States; also blank petitions to Con gress asking it to adopt the joint resolu tion which is now before it on the above named amend ment. The inclosures were addressed to individuals all over the Uni ted States. ? _ - Last week Judge Earle made a decision at Barn well which is of considerable im portance. He decides tha*: the magis trates of this State have no jurisdiction in either civil or criminal cases. This con dition has been brought about by Gov ernor Evans having vetoed the bill giving them jurisdiction and defining their du ties. The Governor vetoed the bill be cause it took from him the power of re moval. If this dscimon stands then South Carolina has no officers to try petty of fenders and the verdicts rondered in civil eases by magistrates cannot stand. It is presumed the case will be taken at once to the Supreme Court. The civil service commission will soon eelect a test case for prosecution in the courts to determine the extent to which the civil service lav/ is applicable in po litical assessment cases. There were many*complaints of assessments during and previous to the recent campaign, and varions cases have been sent to the attor ney general for such action as may be deemed proper. On investigation, how ever, some of the alleged violations could not be substantiated. The commission ers are now casting about for a good case for a test, and thejy will in a few days se- j lect one which they regard as likely to ! bring on a jndicial decision of the points involved. > The growth of the Postoffice business of the country has been amazing. At the close of the Revolutionary War there were only seventy-five Postoffices in the United States. At the close of the War of 812 there were 3,000. At the beginning oNbo Civil War there were 2S,5SG, and five years after its close, in 1370, there were 28,492, or about 100 fewer, the only step backward during tho history of the Postoffice Department. By 18S0 the up ward rise bad started again in full force, and -the number of Postoffices in the oenntry reached 42,000. There are now 60,000 Postoffices in the United States, and the number is constantly being in creased._ Our Senvenir Edition. The Souvenir Edition of the Anderson Intelligencer was issued this week contemporaneously with the regular weekly edition, agd it reflects credit up on the enterprising publishers. Its thir ty-four pages are filled with entertaining and instructive descriptive matter relat ing to the county and city of Anderson, em bellisbed with cut s of points of inter-, est, manufacturing plants, and residences of prominent citizens. There are also biographical sketches of business men, lawyers, farmers and county officers, with p? .raits of many of them. The whole work, editorial and typographical, is well executed, and the publishers may well point with pride to their achieve ment. The L_t?r?cal sketchos of both ?e oounty and city should be read by all our people that they may be informed on these matters.?Anderson, Journal. The Register has received a copy of the Souvenir Edition of the Anderson In telligencer, issued by Clinkscales & Langston, publishers, and has no hesita tion In saying that it has never been ex celled, if ever equalled, in the history of South Carolina journalism. It is a sou venir well worth preserving for many years to come. It contains thirty-four pa ges, nineteen inches long, and with five columns to the page. Those thirty-four pages contain a complete history of An derson County from the days of its first settlement to the present time, and are profusely illustrated with the pictures of the public buildings, stores, factories, residences, churches and roads of Ander ten and portraits of the prominent citi zens of the County, together with a mag nificent, illustrated sketch of Clemson College. There are in all about 170 illus trations. The resources of the County and the enterprises of the towns are fully described, and sketches of the lives oTthe prominent citizsns and public men are given. Tnis Souvenir Edition should be scattered broadcast as an invaluable ad vertisement of Anderson County.?Co lumbia Register. Perhaps the most ambitious undertak ing of any weekly newspaper in this State is the Souvenir Edition of the An . derson ISTEL?gencer, which hasjuet ' inada it? appearance. This i=sue of the tii?LLiGEN^R4?stS^ pages besides cov ersvthe pag?^ein#ribose of a five column ..newspaper. There are concise descrip tions of the County of Anderson and the various^towns with their industrial en terprises. A most interesting feature ?3 : the article on Clemson College. The is sue contains 16S well executed pictures of buildings and prominent citizens of An derson. The Intelligencer should be very proud of itself and the people of An derson should be even prouder of the In telligencer.? Charleston Evening Post. The Anderson Intelligencer, one of j the very beet newspapers in South Caro- ] lina, has issued a "Souvenir Edition," which surpasses in me:it the product o? any county press within the range of our acquaintance. It is a 31 pape-, five col umns to the page, well printed and pro fusely illustrated, having among Up lead ing features a historical sketch of der son county, reviews of the condition and progress.of Anderson city and all the towns in the county, and biographies and portraits of prominent citizens. Thero is a great deal of interesting aid valuable matter compactly placed in this most creditable issue, and the illus'rations aro not only many, but good. The Intkm.i ? gencer bas provided an admirable intro duction to the best things ul its progr?s sive county and city, and it Reserves all the praise its contemporaries can give It. ?Columbia Stale. One of the best and most enterprising weekly newspapers in the Stale is the Anderson Intelligencer. It has [al ways been a good paper and has kept up with the progress of the times in mechan ical equipment and in journalistic meth ods. Its latest and greatest achievement is the publication of a special Souvenir Edition, containing a record of what the people of Anderson County are "doing in the closing days of the nineteenth centu ry." This special number of the Intel ligencer contains tbirty-four pages. It is packed with valuable historical, bio graphical and descriptive matter and is profusely illustrated. The story covers the whole County and no community in the County is neglected. Special atten tion is gl von to the industrial life of the County, and the men who have been in strumental in making Anderson County one of the most prosperous Counties in the State are given proper credit for their patriotic work. We congratulate Clink scales & Langeton, the publishers, for this new evidence of their public spirit and newspaper enterprise, and we congratu late the people of Anderson upon having so croditablea newspaper as the Ander son Intelligencer.?Hews and Courier. Anderson isa splendid town, fuli of live people and should be very proud of the Intelligencer, one of the best weekly papers of the State. The Intelligencer comes out in a thnty-four page "Souve nir Edition," filled with most readable reading and exquisite illustrations, mak ing a wonderfully artistic paper which is . worthy any city. But whenever the An derson people undertake anything they go right ahead and do it better than other people, and the best parto! it is they don't brag and make bther people feel bad. The Intelligencer has the congratula tions o? the Greenville Newsoa its Souve nir Edition.? Crrecnville News. The Anderson Intelligencer last week issued its Souvenir Edition of 1896 ?a handsome folio of thirty-four pages. The information given about the thriving and pushing city is interesting through out. The typography is excellent?in cluding the large number of illustrations. The Souvenir Edition is one of the many proofs that the city of Anderson has num bers of progressive citizens?not the least valuable of these being Messrs, Clink scales & Langs ton, the publishers of the Intelligencer. ? Columbia Evening Neivs. Clinkscales & Langston have issued a splendid Souvenir Edition ot the Ander son Intelligencer for 1896. We are obliged to them for a copy. It contains tbirty-four pages, is nineteen inches long, with five columns of printed matter. It is a com pie! e history of the eplended county of Anderson. It is profusely illustrated with pictures of the leading citizens of the county, the public build ings, as factories, mills and churches, showing the industrial, educational and agricultural progress in city, town and country. A history of Clemson College, in Oconee county on the borders of An derson is given. We observe with much satisfaction familiar Laurens faces, hon oring themselves and the splendid county of their adoption. Among them Col. M. P. Tribbio, a veteran of Gary's Brigade, Col. Brown, once our honored fellow citizen, H. H. Watkins, a leading lawyer, and Professor Thomas W. Wright of the Mechanical Department, Clemson Col lege. The work has not been parallelled in the journalism of the State. It is a grand advertisement of the city, tow'3 and county of Anderson and every cit.zen should be glad to have a copy of so splendid a souvenir.?Laurens Advertiser. The Anderson Intelligencer's Sou venir Edition is real good work. It is an evidence of a large public spirit, and equally so, of a desire to build up and present in proper light, the community in which our excellent contemporary moves, and exeroisee, the Sun feels sure, an abounding good influence. Such ef fort cannot fail to produce its fruit and flower.?Charleston Evening Sun. EUerbe's Policy. Trenton, Nov. 25.?At this point to-day stai ting from Columbia, I met the man who soou after the second Tuesday in January next is to assume the direction of the State government?Governor-elect William H. Ellerbe?and spent several hour* with him. He talked pleasantly and patriotically of the future of bis State, and forces one to the conclusion that bis aim is to bring about genuine peace and unity among the whole people, if he is given the proper support. Tne governor-elect takes high ground on mat ters of great public concern and says his desire is to give the entire people of South Carolina a clean, impartial admin istration of the affairs of the State gov ernment. He says he has clearly marked down the lines of his policy and expects to hew to them, trusting to the truly pat riotic men of both factions to lay aside factional differences and personal matters and give him their assistance. The governor-elect is looking well just at this time. He says bis health was bad just after the campaign, but be is now quite well again. He expects to move his family to Columbia as soon as he is inau gurated, and they will reside at the ex ecutive mansion. He smilingly remark ed to day that one leading manufacturer of bicycles had offered him a machine if he would take his exercise in that way, he added with a smile: "But I think walking is safer and better for me. I am accustomed to walking about the farm." Mr. Ellerbe occupies a position some what distinct from his predecessore in the gubernatorial chair. His election was one of the unanimous kind and he is not bound by promises, neither is he tied up with obligations to any for support. About his only pro:: lise given in the cam paign was that to t'.ie people of Charles ton that if they would enforce the dispen sary law he would remove the metropoli tan police. When I asked him about this to day, he declined to have anything to say on the subject, butihose who know him are assured that that promise will be kept. As to the dispensary problem, the gov ernor-elect, w4iile he will deal with it in his inaugural, will not make any sugges tions or recommendations to the General Assembly. He will, however, I feel safe in saying, call upon the people of the State to stand to him and help him en force the law to the letter as long as it is upon the Statute books. Mr. Ellerbe has studied the question thoroughly and has his views as to what should be done, but those views he is not making public, nor will he be likely to have anything to say at all, unless it bo in a special message after his inauguration. Mr. Ellerbe has already begun work on his inaugural address. In that address he will take a new line. He will hardly de vote it to recommendations to the General Assembly, but will very plainly make it an address to the whole people, general in its character and broad in its scope. For Mr Ellerbe believes that an inaugu ral should be addressed to the people themselves. To-day I asked Mr. Ellerbe about the chance of getting a reduction of taxes in South Carolina. He said this was a mat ter to whioh ho had given most serious consideration and much time, but he had failed to evolve any scheme. The only thing he could see was the increase of the taxable property in the State. This could be brought about by bringing more peo ple into the State and by encouraging the settlement of emigrants here. It would cost no more to run the State government with this increase of property and taxes would be lowered. Mr. Ellerbe has outlined an excellent policy as to the making of all appoint ments, but In regard to this, asas in near ly everything else he is exceedingly reti cent. He had just left Senator Tillman when I saw him to-day. He and Senator Till man are members of the curriculum committee of the Clemson trustees, and he had come down to see the Senator about the condition of affairs at the Col lege. The death of Prof. McGee deprives the college of a professor of agriculture, thus leaving one of the essential depart ments without a director. There seems to be great difficulty about finding a man to fill the place. It has been agreed upon finally, Mr. Ellerbe says, to leave the matter open uutil Dec. 14, when the trustees meet at the college commence ment. Mr. Ellerbe says Senator Tillman is to make two speeches soon?one at St. Mattbewr on Dec. ?, in aid of the Calhoun county scheme; the other at Gaffney on Dec. 5, inaid of the new county of which that place desires to be the county seat.?

C, Nov. us.?News reached her.- 10 day of the death on Fri day of Phii. Turner, a young farmer, who wa:j mysteriously assaulted while shell ing corn on his place, twenty-three miles above this city. The only witnesses to the occurrence were tenants, John High tower and John's son Goodlet. The scene of the alleged attack is an isolated section of the mountains, and important details unobtainable. Turner never regained con sciousness, and it cannot be learned which of the llightowers is responsible for the homicide. To Turner's relations Hightower explained he roceived the wound accidentally; that he fell against the handle of the shelling machine. Phys ical fact, however, unmistakably rebuts this theory. The doctors assert positive ly that it" was impossible to have beon accidental Bafore Turner died an old piece of blood-smeared iron was found or. the scene, and the bloody end, which probably was used as a tomahawk, fitted the three gashes across the top of his head where the skull was fractured. The community is practically unanimous tbat one of the llightowers committed the crime. Two conflicting incentives are given. On the 12th inst. Turner and the young er Hightower were convicted hero of illi cit distilling. Turner confessed and im plicited Hightower ae part owner in the stiil. Since then there has been bad blood. A g;:eat majority of the murders of that section are traceable to similar causes. This led the mountaineers to believe that Goodlet Hightower perpetrated the fearful deed. The last report, however, directs sus picion upon the head of John and placee a woman at the bottom of the trouble. Young Turner is alleged lately to have beer too intimate with John's wife. Thankful South. Baltimore, Nov. 24.?The Manfactur er's Record publishes this week, as ap Eropriate to Thanksgiving day, several undred letters from leading" business men., manufacturers, merchants and rail road officials throughout the South giving their views as to why the South especial ly has many reasons for giving thanks for material blessings. "With only two or three exceptions, these lettera give a very hopeful outlook as to the general feeling of improvement that exists in business circles in all the Southern States and show that the prospects are everywhere favor able for increasing activity ou the part of tho manufacturing interests, fora large movement of population to the South from the North and West and liberal in vestments of outside capital in Southern enterprises. Many railroad and industrial undertakings that have been held in abeyance for months are now being taken up and plans matured for early construc tion. Farmers are reported to be less in debt than for many years, the very heavy grain crops and large productions of meat during the past few years having made the South almost seit-sustaining in the way of food-stuffs and thus kept at home the millions of dollars that have- hereto fore gone West for corn and provisions Particular emphasis is laid upon the growing power of commerce from South ern ports, the magnitude of this business showing that the South is to hold as com manding a position in our foreign trade by the proximity of its ports to tho cen tral western regions that produce the grain and provisions for export, as it now holds in iron and cotton manufactur ing. While two out of the several hundred letters take an unfavorable view of the situation and do not look for much im provement, the others are of a most cheerful and hopeful character and are expressive of the many reasons why the South has reason to give thanks for bless ings enjoyed, for dangers escaped and for the bright promises of great industrial, commercial and railroad development and also for the assurance of a great southward movement of population Jerusalem Artichokes. - * To the Editor of the Ncivs and Courier: You will find enclosed a clipping from an agricultural paper that may not only prove interesting, but profitable, to your agricultural readers. My experience in Georgia fully confirms all the writer claims for the Jerusalem artichoke relative toits proli ?eness as well as for food for man and beast. I hope you will insert the same in your valuable journal, for the building hp of the South must come from the snil and the intelligence ol its culture. Tho first duty of the farmeris to make something to cat, and then pro duce something to sell. The beet variety for planting in this section is what is known as the white French artichoke. James Barrett, Augusta, Nor. 23,1896. From the Epitomisi. The wonderful productiveness and ease with which the improved artichokes can be produced is always a surprise to thos9 who cultivate them for the first timo. They are an excellent food for cattle, horses, sheop or swine, and tho cheapest and healthiest hog food raised, one acre being equal to five acres of corn for build ing up large, healthy frames with plenty o? bone and muscle. They not only grow rapidly, but fatten at ine same time, only requiring a few bushels of corn to harden the ilesh in the finishing process. The hogs will harvest them then-Mel ves, thus saving all expente, even that of feeding. Freezing and thaw ing does not injure the feeding or fatten ing qualities, and the hogs will feed them selves ?rom October until May, except when the ground is frozen solid. ' Any good corn land will produce im mense quantities, from 300 to S00 bushels per aore. I find that low, mucky land, that it too frosty for other crops, is just the aoil for the artichoke. I have also fed to my milk cows, finding that they beat any root grown for increasing the flow of milk. They were also tested in the Fre mont Creamery last winter with very good results. There is no doubt but that the improved artichoke is going to bo the leading farm crop, for no insect, blight or rust has yet struck them, and the tops make a fodder, when properly handled, equal to corn One thing that is keeping the Improved variety from coming to the front isso many farmers think if once planted they can never be eradicated. This is not true, for I have destroyed them several times. I simply let them get up about one foot high and plough under. This will destroy them, but the simplest way is to let your hogs stay in a little late in the spring ; they will take the last one in the ground. One thing I must speak about before I close is keeping them through winter, which I consider a very important part. It is almost impossible to keep them over without decaying unless you know how. I kept laat winter seven hundred bushels in pits. I simply scooped out a hole not over ten inchee deep, and then I piled my artichokes up to peak above the ground. I then put a thin layer of etraw on top to keep the dirt from rolling through, and then I put on dirt not to exceed five inches deep, and packing it down so the water will run off. If covered deeper they will surely heat and spoil, and if they freeze solid it will not hurt them. By so burying will keep good. J. H. Van Ness. Confederate Reunion.

Hazen, Chief of the Secret Service of the Treaeury De partment, uhowe that during the last bacal year, fifteen new counterfeit notes wero placed in circulation, a material de crease from former years. Chief Hazen expresses the opinion that the distinctive paper in use is an aid to the criminal rather than a protection to the public, because of the fact that a note printed upon paper containing silk threads (as many of tha best counterfeit and raised notes are) is accepted in a majority of instances without hesitation, owing to the erroneous impression that the paper used by the Government is manufactured by a secret process and can not be counterfeit ed, lie has also become convinced that the introduction of silk into paper tends to lessen its wearing quality.

On November 18, the Cataract Powor and Conduit Company opened the switch in the power house at Niagara Falla, and senta current of 11,000 voltage twenty seven miles to Buffalo. The loss of power in transmitting it this distance is not more than 10 per cent., and it is claimed it will not exceed 5 per cent. The power will sell in B?llalo for $36 a horse power per annum. At present, the only contract the Power Company has made is to furnish 1,000 horse power to the street railways, but by its charter the Company must be able to deliver 50,000 horse power by the end of five years. The cables already in place are capable of carrying 10,000 horse Dower. As soon as the Company gets its ten additional tur bines in the wheel pit at the Falls, it will be able to generate 65 000 horse power, if necessary.

Look here what good Shoes I have got on, and I just bought one pare apiece for us all while I could get sich bargains. I likes do way them boys does a man in dar. Isc a gwiue to take you do next time, and let you see what they can do for you !" Yours to please, THE AWDY BROWN CO. Words are Cheap, Though they seem to constitute the principal stock in trade of some people. Cold Facis and Figures represented by Reliable Goods and Prices are to be relied upon. WE have been so busy this season that we have hardly found time to write an advertisement unless we tres passed upon the Sabbath, lut the :<ox was not in the ditch," and this was unnecessary as the people seemed to know where to come to buy their goods anyway. In our 21 years' active business ex perience we have never been in a posi tion to serve the people so well and save them so much money on their purchases as we are to-day, and were never so much in earnest about doing business as we arc about now. Notwithstanding our heavy sales to parties near and far we are overloaded on many lines of goods, as our New York buyer seems to think he can't load us too heavy when he can get them at such ruinously low prices for prompt cash, as he did during the squally election times just past when money in New York was worth 50 to 100 per cent, on call. This is the ad vantage of always having a shrewd representative in the Metropolis, but it takes money to keep this kind of a thing rolling, and any who wishes to select from a stock of goods well bought and that will not fall far short of $100 000 in value can do so by calling around at our store. Many goods are on the advance. This is the day of gigantic trusts and consumers are compelled to pay tribute, and the promise of the near future is they are to be still more fostered and encouraged. It seems the hide and leather market has been again cor nered. So look out for high priced Shoes. We are well '.'heeled" and are prepared to name prices on many new desirable solid goods less than former ly. For instance, we will sell you the best men's home-made, a No. 1 Kip, Ga., or English Tie that we sold a year ago for $1.50 now $1.00. Men's Genuine Calf, Dongola top, sold last year $2.00, now $1.25. A solid Men's Buff or veal calf at 95c. that formerly sold for $1.25. Several lines of ladies' and children's goods are being sold in the same proportion. We frankly admit that throughout the store our values are not uniform, i. e., in some goods our purchases are more fortunate than in others. We are always pleased to divide the profit on our most lucky purchases with our customers. If asked on what particular department of our business we thought we were strongest and could save the people the most money, our answer would be Men's and Boys' Hats, Clothing, Overcoats and Furnishings. Our recent additions to these were fare bargains that must be seen to be appreciated. In House Furnishings we are strong 10 solid cases of Bed Blankets received from one factory recently that wc can retail at less than we ever bought them at before. In table damask, napkins doylies, towels, ready-made sheets, pillow cases, win dow curtains, shades and fixtures, &c., we can do you good. Staple Cotton Goods are on the advance but we are daily selling many Domestics for less money than when cotton was 5 cents. Why ? Because we bought last July and August a tremendous lot. IN MILLINERY We offer 4 doz. Felt Hatii, assorted shapes, at 25c, marked down from 50 and 75c. 2 doz. Black Felt Walking Hats at 75c. from $1.00. This has been a record breaking Millinery sea son with us. It goes without saying thai, in Ladies' Goods and Furnishings we still take the advanced lead. We are constantly receiving fresh additions to this stock in all the new novelties in Dress Goods and Trimmings, Wraps, Milli nery, &c. Freight trains are so slow and the rush has been so ??rreat that our express bills have been quite an item this season. \ Our buyer is now sending us many rare bargains far below ruling prices earlier in the season. If you would consult your interest, you will call and ex amine our Stock before buying any more Goods. Yours earnestly, R. S. HILL Agent for Butterick's Patterns. N. B?Miss Terry, the Artistic Dress-maker, still has all the work she can do. ? Last night as I lay on my pillow, Last night as I lay on my bed, I dreamed that my play-house was lonely, I dreamed that my Birdie was dead. No, not exactly the above, but I did indulge in some thought last night when I might have been asleep. I was pondering over grave questions, and thinkiu' deep down in my heart about some things called to my attention a few days since, when at town I was up I wanted to buy a LAMP, and stepped into the Ten Cent Store to get posted. Then I stepped out to buy from an old friend of mine with whom I have done my trading for a long time. I found the Lamp I wanted at both places, but to get the price right I had to tell my friend what they offered me the same thing at in the Ten Cent Store. But that was like pull ing fire down on my head, and enough abuse was heaped upon that poor Ten Cent Store to have broken the heart of a mule. To hear them tell it, Minor was the grandest rascal unhung. He was the greatest deluder of the people that the world ever saw. He has ruined the market of Anderson. He has practi cally destroyed competition, and thunder knows what else. Yes, they even declared the Ten Cent Store Lamps to be made of all kinds of imported and foreign ware that is no good at all. But how does Minor sell the stuff? and why does he continue to increase his trade so rapidly ? The an swer was right on his lips : They keep it ready, I think. They claim that Minor has a nack?he advertises, you know. Well, I had to go back to the Ten Cent Store and get my Lamp, after all. And last night I concluded that it does not make a thing shoddy just because Minor buys it from the people who make, nor does it make it better for his competitor to buy the same thing from a Jobber and pay ten per cent mere for it. If Minor gives me the difference, or a part of te, he's .my mau. And as to that advertising business, that's all bosh. Minor advertises because he has got something to advertise. The man talks but little who has nothing to talk about. If you see the honey dripping from a hive you con clude there's more inside. So, Pardner, just drop in and see the tremendous assortment of Lamps at the Ten Cent Store. Minor's got the biggest Lamp ~ ever saw, and the least one in the world. If you use Dishes don't be inveigled into buying 'till you see our high grade MELLORRIA WARE and our SEVERN line. The best goods at the lowest price?whether we advertise or not. Complete sets for the Dinner Table at from 62.50 to $20.00 for finest im ported China. Yours always truly, AND THE f HUF u. 01 Ulllj. 27 South Public Square. P. S.?C. S. Minor has a pair of bargains in one solid Gold and one filled case WATCH which he will sell cheap. Both been used some, but not hurt. Call at the Ten Cent Store. THE PLEASURE... Of doing business consists chiefly in giving satisfaction to the customer?it is the key to succese in all lines of business.
