In these days of enterprise and lively competition when every business in the land has to be advertised through the news papers in order to prosper, the people find it difficult to determine who to patronize, especially when they find it necessary to or der their goods instead of selecting them themselves. In that case they must consid er the reliability of the house they trust to make selections for them, which is best rec oned by its age, success, and reputation with the substantial citizens. Our parents and grand parents have been buying clothes frogn D. J. Winn in Sumter for the last for ty years and we never heard one complain yet of what they bought or the manner in which they were treated. A business that has been running that long without com promising, assigning or bankrupting is too well known to be advertised, nevertheless in order to adapt himself to the changes just as he adapts his large and fresh stock of clothing to the fashions, D. J. Winn speaks through this issue of the Tnms to his hosts of friends in Clarendon. See his advertisement. $100 reward for the man who will show us a strictly hardware mercantile establish ment in Williamsburg, Sumter, or Claren don, save that of R. W. Durant & Son of Sumter, S. C.

They deal with the fac tories and are thereby enabled to sell their goods at least 20 per cent. lower than any other house in the city. Besides it is one of the most reliable houses in this section of country, and run by one of the first and best merchants in the State. Go to R. W. Durant & Son, Sumter, S. C., when you wish to buy hardware. We will have some thing more to say about this establishment in the future. Last fall the farmers of our county who dealt in Sumter were looking over the Trams for the names of the houses with which they could deal to the most advan tage. Among them they saw the adver tisement of Messrs. O'Donnell & Co., who carry a tremendous stock of everything in the general merchandise line, filling the old J. T. Solomon stand from cellar to dome. Many of them answered the call of this popular firm, and when we looked in and saw the number of people from Clar endon selling their cotton and making their purchases there ast week in Sumter, we felt quite certain that they were satisfied and actually saving money by dealing with the king merchants of that city, Messrs. 'Donnell & Co. See their advertisement in this issue and hear what we'll have to say concerning you and them hereafter.
