Tor it l* a Good Tobacco Markot—The Sale* To-day. It is useless to speculate further upon it. Florence is taking long strides forward as a tobacco mar ket. Another splendid sale was held to-day, and there was no fall ing off in the prices. Those who sold tobacco went away satisfied with the results, and will come again. No fancy prices were paid, but the averages were good. Among those who sold to-day were Col. R. G. Howard, Mr. 8. A. Gregg, Mr. S. W. Ham of Carters- ville, Messrs. W. E. Nettles, W. A. Myers, E. M. Harrell, and several Lake city planters. About 15,000 pounds were sold. Mr. W. E. Dargan,oue of Darling ton county’s largest planters, was present and he said he never at tended a better sale. And so it goes. Johnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic Cures Fever in One Day. ■ Small ButtlneMM. The man who takes his job work out of town to have printed is no j friend to the town. He can prate about protection to home • indus- | tries, but he is the rankest kind of free trader, and all because he can save a few pennies occasion ally on a job of work. This same kind of fellows when they come to die should send their obituaries to the same foreign job office and have them printed on a manilla cardboord and then tack them up on the town pump. They hardly deserve a funeral notice in the home paper.—Ex. .. .11 . ■ I. I I I— II* General Insurance Agency or SANBORN CHASE, Fire, Life k Aecideat ksaraoee, Surety Bonds Issued. rs«M "UMtlNCB s.
