AT FOR 30 DAYS ONLY. Existing Conditions callfor Stringent Measures. FIRST-The Existing Conditions : The Merchants of Anderson generally, we in particular, when buying our Fall and Winter Stock of Goods in August, bought with a view of fire crops and eight cents Cotton, a condition that existed at that time, as pro3 pects for a fine crop were never better than at that time, and Cotton was ac tually worth 8c on our street ; and in order to meet .the prospective demand, and to supply the wants of our friends and customers in prosperity we bought the largest Stock of Goods ever brought to thia market, consisting of Sfrne Bress Goods, Millinery, f Cloaks and Jackets, Rugs, Carpets, Hassocks, [3* And Staple Dry Goods of all kinds, Shoes, Rubber (roods, Clothing for Hen and Boys, Overcoats, Trunks, Lap Robes, Hats, (gentlemen's Furnishing Goods, , In feet, everything, to make fi; complete Stock of an up-to-date Dry Good3 Store, amounting to the grand total of $ELfl i\ \f\ WO TE OF FRESH OUjUUll UP-TO-DATE GOODS, Selected with he greatest care, and we invite your inspection to convince you of the superior quality and latest etyles and finish of our Goods in all department?. < SECOND-The Stringent Measures : The Cotton Crop has turned out to be a small one instead of the monster record-breaker that we expected ; and worse than all, the price has gone down to five and three-quarter cents, instead of netting the farmer eight cents per pound that we anticipated it would last August. The farmer, therefore, is receiving ten to twelve dollars a bale less than he expected, with fewer balee to market. Now, in order to move our immense Stock of Goods, and to put them on a footing with cheap Cotton, aud in the reach of all, we will cut to the quick and reduce all of the above named Goods, consisting of everything in our Dry Goods, Millinery and Clothing Departments ACTUAL IB IIU HIST COST FOI SPOT USD. ? This is big assertion, but we mean every word of it, as we do not pro pose to carry over our Goods. We can afford to do it, as the people of this and adjoining Counties have been liberal with us when they had a surplus of money. Now, in their hour of need, we propose to stand by them, as we are not going out of business, but wiil continue at the old stand. Come early and make your selections, and take advantage of this unpre cedented offer of a $50,000 Stock of fine, fresh, new Goods at actual Cost, which is the rarest opportunity ever offered at any time ia any place.

Around the margin of the map proper are maps of the several towns in the County, giving all publio highways and their di rection?, and showing the business houses with a complete list Of the firms by name, together with the population of each and the altitude of each. We have never seen a map of aoy County which would in any way compare with lt in scope, detail, cor rectness and artistic work, and we not on - ly think that every home and every busi ness house should have one of these map , but that every public school in the County should be provided with one. This map is an oil canvas, very substantial, and is well worth the price charged for it-52 50. A beautiful Home Wedding.
