Walters told him they did not have time to get up any thing for this week's issue as they were busy opening up goods that he had just been up to Baltimore to get for the big Tip Top Sale- they wore running. Me said this course had proved necessary because of the big trade they had enjoyed since the opening of the Tip Top Sale, and to show the appreciation of his company for this patronage they were going to put on such bargain prices as was never before heard of in Cheraw. This Tip Top Sale at the Cheraw Mercan tile Co. store will last until Christinas Eve night and no doubt announcements will appear in future issues of The Chronicle.
