Septus Riflings.
Well. Mr. Editor, we are glad to say
that this leaves Septus in the very host
of health, and we trust that it will And
yon with the INTELLIGENCER force and
all of your readers the same. As we
write to-night (Saturday) a perfect
gale is blowing from the southwest, a
heavy rain is falling, and the indica
tions are there will 13c hut little plow
ing done during the incoming week.
Our friend, Air. C. L. Dalrymple, has
moved to his plantation, near Denver.
We trust that ne will visit us as often
as possible that we may know his love
for us has not grown cold.
Mr. C. E. Johnsons new bell peals
forth a musical sound at fouv o'clock
in the morning that brings forth the
slumbers of the neighborhood.
A trunk was broken open in town
last week for a pair of twenty-five
cents cuff buttons, and surely the per
petrator of the crime is only robbing
the devil of that much fuel every day
that they live.
The peach crop in Septus will be a
complete failure this year, as the buds
have already been killed by the extreme
cold weather.
We were somewhat surprised, Mr.
Editor, in looking over last week's IN
TELLIGENCER to find that we had been
fired ou by some party or parties who
- failed to give a Heading to their little
article, thus trying to Keep us in the
dark as to who they were or their
whereabouts. While we have treed
them, yet we think they acted wisely j
in trying to keep themselves hidden, j
for from the gist and tone of the little
article we would take them to be moun
taineers that had done- nothing all of
their daysbutdriveoxwagons. Though
the little gun fired at us was quite
small, being a twenty-two calibre, yet
' we learn from a reliable source that it
took three persons to man it, owing to
the fact that neither of the three are
overburdened with sense, yet they
would make believe if possible that
they were a double first cousin to King
Solomon. And now, dear friends, we
admit that we are not a subscriber of
the INTELLIGENCER, but quite often
borrow it, and in doing so we hardly
. think there, is any great crime com
mitted, for we know of a woman some
time ago to borrow a lady's bonnet to
wear to town and then after leaving
home even exchanged that one in order
that she could boast of having worn
the bonnet of a doctor's wife. Selah !
Again you are right, "Hard Times," in
thinking we have had some experience
at night-watching, and really we be
lieve we are better qualified for the
position than you are, as we tried as
much as possible to take in the whole
of Septus, while your watching is con
signed, mostly to Tatter's street. Allow
us to thank you from the very bottom
of our heart for having been so easy
with ns in giving it out that it was a
bird hunt that we were so badly "left
in," for some of the boys are telling
that they considered it a ouzzard hunt.
In advising ns to attend the Lebanon
High School and take lessons in Eng
lish grammar before writing for the
papers, we suppose you have reference
to what we said about the school being
in a "flourishing condition." Now, we
want to inform you that by no means
is that a grammatical mistake, but a
rhetorical mistake, one that is used by
men that have forgotten more than you
w?l ever know. So instead of attend
ing a high school, we would advise you
to attend a low one and see if it can be
?umped into that squash of yours the
ifference between grammatical and
rhetorical. In fact," if you should find
a mistake in our "write ups" we trust
that you will not criticise too severely,
as we do not claim to have taken tfio
degree of either L. L. D., M. D., D. D.,
Ph. D. or "Hisonduce." And now, in
conclusion, widower friend "Hard
Times," we want to say that if you are
as anxious co marry as you were two
months ago, and still havn't heard
from that love letter that you got
"Eric" to write to that Greenville
County sweetheart of yo ara some time
ago, ju?t call around and we will fit
you up with another one, adding a lit
tle more love toit. Really, though,
old boy, we believe it would be well
for you to try your luck in some distant
land where you are not so well known.
Having mastered English grammar
so thoroughly, please give us a few
dots from your own pen next week,
and if you can't "write up" then "shut
JIP;"
With much love to all,
ERIC.

Very little farm work has been done
up to this time.
The farmers have got the most of
their guano at home, but it looks like
they will not get to use it after allon
account of the bad weather.
One of Big Springs' most charming
young ladies spent the other week in
this section visiting friends and rela
tives. If she comes again, I think one
of our boys will be sure to lose his
mind, for he went to Cook's Station the
other day and mailed a postal card
without an address on it. Ask him
what he was thinking about?
Miss Emma Shirley, of this section,
spent last week up on Big Springs side
with friends and relatives. She said
she hud a flue time.
Mrs. J. I. Crowther has been sick for
the last week. We hope she will soon
recover.

rease. Big thing! Yes, but the trade is
i us !
Ladies must have EASTER HATS and BONNETS. We can supply j
j them to suit you. !
Now, don't let Easter pass without a new Hat. Our Pattern Hat* are ?
grand and beautiful. Nothing is more attractive than pretty Millinery. A j
great deal depends on the workmanship. It takes more than pretty Flowers, |
Ribbons, &c, to make a pretty Hat. It requires au artist to design plans
and carry them out successfully in the work-room. We have the Milliners
that can do that.
Millinery is particularly attractive this season. Light, airy and beautiful.
lt is perfectly natural for a Lady to want a pretty Hat. Every one notices j
and admires it, even the men. Pretty Hats make pretty girls.
Business must hum in this Department this Spring--just must do it. We j
have the Stock of pretty Goods, and bought it to sell. We want all the
Millinery business you can give us. Will make-over your old Hats, work in |
old material, trim and retrial, and do everything to be as clever and accom
modating as possible-anything honorable to get your business. We sell
Millinery very close. Anderson is a very close Millinery market, and ours is
a very close-priced Department.
We extend to all a cordial invitation to cometo see us often. Always
have something pretty to show you.
RIBBONS !
Yea, this is a great Ribbon season. They are used for Hat Trimmings,
for Belts, for Neckwear, and many other purposes. We have Ribbons of all
kinds, and oh ? how anxious we are to sell them.
OXFORD TIES !
This is a very strong line with us. We have received our New Goods,
and they are beauties. It is a line that we have been handling for several
years, and know them lo be good fitting and excelieut wearing Goode. The
prices range from 81.50 to $2.50. We also have an excellent line of the
lower-priced goods. Can give you Oxfords at 81.00 and SI.25 that have just
as, much value and style in them as is possible for the money.
LADIES' KIO GLOVES !
Early Spring is the time to wear them. $1.00, 81.25 or ?1.50 gets you
au elegant value in Black, TaD, or any of the new shades.
Good line of White Gloves (in different lengths) for evening wear.
BELTS and BELT BUCKLES.
They are quite the fad this season. We were lucky enough to get hold
of some rare things. The Ladies all like them.

that is sold. White P. K. is strictly in it-watch out for them. See our
Ginghams at from 5c to the Silk and Satin Stripes at 25c and 35c.
HOSIERY !

Gents' Furnishings.
This is a pet Department. Every one in the house is proud of it. It
does more business every season. It is a very fascinating Department. It
contains so many little articles that are indispensable to a man's outfit. T?is
is true of almost any Gents' Furnishing Department, and especially so of
ours, for we are always looking out for the Novelties, and when you want the
newest "Fad" you can come to this Department for it..
Just now we are showing some of the latest creations in the way of Neck
wear. See our line of 25c Bows, Four-iu-Hands, Puffs &n?. String Ties.
You won't complain at either the style or the price. Our 50c line is of the
newest and most up-to-date patterns, and. no say the least of it, you get the
value of your money.
Negligee Shirts.
Last freight brought us another shipment. Had enough before,
but ours Boys are enthusiastic on Gents' Furnishings, and especially on Neg
ligee Shirts. They are beauties, and how they do sell. The Plain and Fan
cy Silk Bosoms are going right along. They are going to be popular num

and 50c. Full line of Staples (Black and Tan) at 10c, 15c and 25c.
Men's Hats.
Want a new Hat for Easter, don't you ? Men as well as women like
new Easter rigs. If you bavent a new Derby or Alpine you will need it ; or,
if the weather is real Spring-like you will want a Straw for Easter. Just
now we feel greatly interested in our Hat business. We want to make some
changes in our Hat Stock by which we think we can increase our already
large business in this Department. Men's Hats 25c to $3.00. Boys' Hats
25c to 50c.
Will open up a lot of Crash and Straw Goods soon.
Men's and Boys' Shoes.
We aire known far and wide as great Shoe people. We have always sold
a great many Shoes, and there is no doubt about it we have lots of them on
hand to sell now. Yes, that's what we got them for-to sell ; but they were
made to wear.
We do not offer any Shoddy Shoes. It is hard enough to get a good
Shoe to give satisfaction, much less a Shoddy one.
Remember, our Stock is complete, from the coarse work Shoes up to
finest hand-made Goods, and all of them of solid leather.
Umbrellas.
Both sim and rain demand that you have them. Wheu you need them
you can find them here.
