‘Charles Ducnsing died at Midway on
the l:tth Inst., at the age of 5:i. He
was a native of Hanover, Uermauy from
whence be cjtme to Midway in 1865.
XJtf foreign birth and training Ills habits
of thought and demeanor made ac
quaintance with him of slower grow th
than with natives here; so that liis
true character was not at once under
stood and appreciated.' In the long
years how ever, that he lived among our
I ieople, ho became well known and
leld lu warm regard for his honesty,
straightforwardness and kindly courte-
«y. His life wa* a lesson to those w ho
practice the outward aud visible forms
<wf religion. He was a natural Chtjst-
lan, and whoever was acquainted in
Midway knew Charlie Duensing as the
gentlest and most kindly soul iu the
town. There are a thousand living
tongues (and dead ones too could they
speak) might say of bint to-day. “He
was the good Samaritan to me.” He
was my true and generous fried. ‘*He
charmed me with hta floMesof history
and travel.” He was always cour
teous, ki»d and considerate, and among
t the multitudes who survive him, there
4* no one who can point to tiiucolJ clay
&h*t was Charles Dueusiug aud say,
'*‘He did me wrong.”
A brother,- wife and children and
friendsaoothed for him as far as might
be the pains of death.
At old Providence cemetery this au
tumn morning in the autumn of his
life, kind friends lay to re*t him wTi'o
sought a home among them from across
the sea. “Man goeth to his long home
stud the mourners go about the streeta.”

Fnifr'year* ngo I stopped advertising,

it would l»e better for pie In take in sail

Eveuu have proven tlmt I was right.
The long lane that has hedged us in ha*
turned and by patlen^enduxanee, w ise
economy and untiring effort the South
is overcoming hard times and getting
on the., right high mad to better inde

STRONG,SOLID AND RESTED
I resume the use of Printer’s iuk. aud

lief that better days than we have

between the Slates are ju*t daw ningon

flve active years has taught me to look
ahead and I am aure tlmt I am uofiitia-
taken in making this prophecy.
So strong is my confidence that 1
have during my recent long visit to the
lending Northern cities secured the
Grandest .Stock of General Merchandise
that I have ever handled or that any
merchant has ever brought to South
Carolina. Perhaps I may have over
bought, hut I think not, for I found that
the Panic had held Northern mantifac-
turera and wholesaler* by the throat

the farmers of our State. '1 bey had to
sell. 1 bought. And the proofs Uml I
was fortunate crowd my store rt*om*
and ware houses and invite by their va
riety, excellence and cheapne** the pat
ronage ot all who wisely want all that
they can get for their money, cotton or
other produce. Out of tbi* vanishing
panic have come these sound new re
quirements of business that producer*
and consumers must get neater togeth
er aud that the day of high price* Is
gone forever. Acting on those princi
ples! have bought from first hands in
all lines and taken advantage of every
fair opportunity tlmt my presence and

derstand toll reconstruction of our
