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.
We also have a full and complete line of
GROCERIES.

The new map of Anderson County by
J. H. von Hasseln has been finished, an d
we are pleased to say that it is one of the
most complete maps we have, ever exam
ined. The courses and distances of every
public highway and every Btream of a
noticeable size is given, as well as the ex
act location of every farm, which bears the
name of the owner plainly printed across
it. To us it appears to be perfect, even to
tbe minutest detail. In the lower left
hand corner information as to population,
acreage, value- of real and personal prop
erty, government and libt of busineaa
houses ls given; also a map of the city,
showiDg the altitude,' railways, public
roads, wards and other matters of iuteresr.
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.
