The observance of Memorial Da; and the laying of the corner-stone o the Confederate Monument in this cit; last Saturday was an occasion that wil not soon bc obliterated hom tho mind of those who were so fortunate to wit ness or participate in the intercstitij exercises, lt was n most delight in day, ami the occasion attracted a vcr, large crowd, both old and young, fron very section of the surrounding conn try. Numerous small Confederate Hag could be seen in the hands of the chil dieu and hanging from the flouts o many of the business houses. Every body seem to be in a good humor am on their best behavior, and nothiiij happened throughout thc day to ma the pleasiucK of the occasion. At i) o'clock in the morning about .JI boys and girls of the city gradee schools congregated at the Centra School building, and, led by the teach ors. marched to the several Church yards, where the graves of thc sleeping heroes were covered with the beautiful Howers carried by the children. Tb children then returned to thc Conn House Square and gathered mound tin foundation of the monument to witness the c r monies of laying the cornel stone. At 11.510 o'clock the Masons met at tia Masonic Temple and forming in line with E. W. Taylor and U. E. Soy Mat grand Marshals, marched to the site ol the monument, accompanied by tlu Daughters and tho Sons ot the Veter ans and ninny of the Veterans. Deputy Grand Master li. F. Divvei was master of ceremonies, and in thc line of march he was escorted by young Indies representing the Past Grand Masters and some of tho Masters ot Hiram Lodge of this city, viz: Past Grand Masters-James 1,. Orr, Sr., Misses Mary and Lydia Orr; James A. Hoyt, Miss Gertrude Hoyt: W. \V. Humphreys, Misses Louise and Nell Humphreys; 1!. F. Divver, Miss Eliza beth Divver. Past Masters-J. 15. Clark, Miss Martha Clark; J. W. Pr vost, Miss Annie Provost; J. E. llreazealc, Miss Mary Leo Brcazcnle; G. F. Tolly, Miss Bessie Tolly; J L. Tribble, Miss Bes sie'fribble; Jeptbn Wilson, Miss Edna Broyles; ll. S. Hill, Miss Lois Hill; J. P. Duckett, Miss Bertha Duckett; J. C. Watkins, Miss Nellie Watkins; (J. X. C. Boleman, Miss Annie Boleninn; J. N. Vandiver, Miss Lizzie Smith; .J. B. Lewis, Miss Mary Lewis; J. L. Fnr mer, Miss Annie Fa liner; T. 1J. Earle, Miss Fannie Earle; T. F. Hill, Master Tom Hill: J. Iv. Hood, Master William Hood. A number of Veterans from different blanches of the army were also repre sented by a daughter or a granddaugh ter. Reaching tho monument site the Ma sons marched un on a largo platform, whero woro seated the members of the Ladies' Memorial Association. Tho ceremonies wero opened with prayer by tho Grand Chaplain, Rev. J. B. Campbell, after which Grand Sec retary Boleman read a list of the arti cles to bo deposited in tho corn er - stone. Grand Master Divver then delivered a short but approp. inte address, in which he paid a high trib ito to tho patriots from Anderson County who participa ted in tho war. At tho conclusion of his remarks tho usual impressive cere monies of the Masonic fraternity on such occasions were exemplified. Tho silver trowel used by Gen. Lafayette in laying tho corner-stone of Baron DeKalb's monument nt Camden, S. C., in 1835, was used on this occasion. When the ceremonies ended the crowd was dismissed and immediately proceeded to tho Court House, which was soou filled to its utmost capacity. John K. Hood, Esq., called tho meet ing to order, made a few interesting remarks appropriate to tho occasion, and announced tho following program in the order named: Chorus-"Bonnio Blue Flag," by the R. E. Leo Chapter, U. D. C. Piano Solo-"Leo's Grand March," Miss Bessie Bee. Song-"Mother Kissed Me in My Dream," Miss vouBorstel. Recitation-"To Our Monument," Mrs. A. P. Johnstone, written for tho occasion by Kil Courtland. Song-"Tho Conquered Banner," Mrs. Cora Ligon. Col. J. A. Hoyt, tho orator of tho day, was then introduced, and for about forty minutes ho hold thc undi vided attention of tho large crowd. His address was both eloquent and in teresting, nnd full of many touching incidents of tho great struggle At tho conclusion of Col. Hoyt's ad dress tho exercises closed with that grand old song, "Dixie," by tho mem bers of the Dixio Chapter U. D. C. This song, of course, raised tho old "rebel yell," and everybody departed feeling that it was good to have been there. Reduced Rates via Snutheru Railway. TO CHICAGO.

All the Departments were Lively. That's the v. ay we like it. Good, smooth, slick-running business. Well satisfied customers is the object we have in view. This Store means to give a dollar's worth of value for every hundred cents spent here in good, reliable, dependable merchandise. All we ask is a fair field and unbiased opinions. Our plans are taking with the people, for it is easier for us to sell Goods than ever before. People trade with less hesitancy, for they are becoming more and more satisfied that we are always up-to-date in Style, always show the first things that come out, offer everything on its own merits, reliability and economical price-making always considered. We don't always do things just as they ought to be done. Can't please everybody. Glad to say we are pleasing more people than formerly. We have not reaehed our ideal of doing uiislneav by far. We expect to try harder and harder to improve every day on another. When we please you ter your friends, when we do not tell us. . Dry Goods and Millinery. Wc don't appose it is questioned by anyone but that we'vc got the greatest Dry Hoods and Millinery business of aoy one in all this section, yet that is nothing to you. What you are interested in is tho right things-what you want at thc right value, no matter where it comos from. From every evi dence that we have you will bc pleased, taking tho expressions and repeated visits of buyers of i)ry Goods and Millinery. Wc commence this week with a view of making things more interesting, if possible, as the .season advances. Little odd lots of choice things-tho last ends, accumulations of all such-will 1 c put out and cleaned up with great reductions in prices. Clean, active Stock, fresh and desirable is what we aro going to carry, and wc don't propose to wait till tho season is over to commence this clearing business. Can t name them because we don't know only from day to day what they will be. Ask to see tho Speoials when you are in. Our orders in thc Millinery Department were so largo that for a time they were almost buried out of sight, but with a lot of extra help wc are merging into daylight again, and with extra help wc aro in position to give you better work than ever before. Wc want to make one great Summer sweep of Milli nery, not only of Hats, but Ribbons and everything connected with the De partment. Pretty White Hats are going to be one of the attractive features. Clothing. Wo have moved more Clothing this Spring than ever before. Why? Because we give the best attention to the selection of right patterns and the newest things on the market. Then we handle Clothing mude by one of America's greatest manufacturers. It's easy enough to get good Clothes, easy enough to get good fits and good wearing Clothes ; not every one, though, has the taste to select taky, catchy Goods-not every buyer who knows what the people want. Then, running thc Clothing Department a9 we do on a large scale, in connection with other large departments, we can afford to sell at short margins of profit. A little here and a little yonder in a complete bill amina up a fair profit. Then that big lot of Fancy Cassimers of $10.00 and $12.00 Suits that we carried over selling this- season for $7.50 has struck the pocket-book and fancy of lovers of economy. These ure great values. We said we were out to do more business for the meu. We aro doing it, and expect to increase it. Our Men's Department is a live one. Men's Shoes, Bats, Negligee Shifts, White Shirts, Underwear, Overalls thc very best makes from 50c. to $1.00. All kinds of Men's Goods. As we stated we believe we are interesting more people than this Store has ever done. We want this to be Gash Buyers'Headquarters. You will find new things with us throughout the Spring and Summer. Seasonable Goods in season. Newest and latest as they come out. The Big Store wants your business on fair, square iad legitimate grounds. We don't make but one claim-that we'll give you the value of your money. If you want anything please call and see us. Yours truly, C. F. JONES Hi WHOLESALE ANO RETAIL.
