Remembor that Jako martin, at Easley, keeps a nico stock of staple and fancy Grocerios, and when there step in and see him. The Board of Registration now consists of the following named gentleman: J.

He has had a close call. * Smith & Bristown, of Green ville, are among the loading clo thiers of this section. 'They ask yon for your trado through the columns of the JOURNAL. Aversion from reproof is not wise; it is the mark of a littlo mind. A groat man can a fl'ord to lose; a littlo insignificant fellow is afraid of being snuffed out. The total Pulmount of the estate of the late Calvin Grifin, is as follows: Amount collected, $10, 726,94; paid out $10,203,87. There will be for distribution among the heirs something liko $1,900.

H-1udgens, of Easloy, to bo found in another column this week in regal d to some fino pigs. They aro a s;uperior brieedl and1 anybody dlesirin fo'inoc stock should not fail to call on Mr. Hiudgens. These pigs must be seen to be appreciated. Dr. Charles Manley, of Greenr villec, preached in the P'ickens Bap tist church last Sunday mornmg and~ afternoon to largo congrega tions. Dr. Manley is a very lea rnedl divine, andl his visits to) Pickens are always wvarm ly welcomed. Seven dollars were col lect ed for~ the Baptist Orphanage at Greitn wood. Wanted everyb.ody to knowv that the JOURNAL u-ow hasq one of t he best equip~ped job) departmonts in ulpper South Carolina. The fact that it is undler the management of that well known job priter, J. E. Kinch, is a suflicient guaran tee that the work turned outI from the JOURNALJ will 1)0 first-class in every particular. Our pricos will aliway be as low as the lowest.

Hie was ar rested in that city on last Sunday night at his home by the police, who had gotten sight of him the Friday before. lie is nowv safoly lodging with the sherifY in Pick LAberty. Sevoral weeks ago the local reporter of the JOURNAL paid a. visit to Easley and made a few remarks concerning the prog ress of that place and took ocoasIoom .to say something of her merchants. Not wislilng to show partiality for Easley any more than any other town or sectton of our county, we took a trip to Liberty last Saturday,'to see what we could see and learn wi at we could learn in regard to her progress and prosperity. Liberty is a hustler in every sense of the word. There Is not a drono in the place. We were astonished at the n inense stride she has made since we wore last there, some three years ago. New houses may be soon in every direction. The Liberty Oil Mill and Manufactur Ing Company and The lunter.Boggs Mercantile Company havewithout doubt, been the stimulus of a great deal of Lib* orty's growth. Tihe Oil Mill Company occuples asplen did ste it abort distance to the east of the railroad depot, and is officered by the fol. lowing well known gentlemen of wealth, brains and pish, viz: Wmn. Hunter, Presi dent; T. N. Hunter, Secretary and Troas nrer; H1. B. Bowen, business manager. Tie miII hias had all the business it could ivivage since being built last year, It commencing operations at the beginning of the Gotton season of 1895-6. 1h1ey sell toils uponi tons of iulls, and meal anid while t here saw numerous wagons walt. lug for their turn to be loaded with oe or the other of (he above named stuffs. Vroin those who ought to know, we leari that ULberty is never fonmd wanting when it comes to meal and hulls. The Iltunter-Boggs Morcantile Com plny is a pI t and parcel of the Oil Mill Company, except that it Is oflicered by Wmli. Ilititer as presilent and T. N. Imuiter as secretary, treasurer and busi ies m nallfiger. 'Iho company is incorpo ated ntin ther are proninently loeated oi tlie corner j ust as you go into town from Piekens on Main Street. Their new hiusiicss house presents a Commanding appearance and at once strikes the eye of any one who may be going by. The biilding is about i40x80 and is handsomely painte-d both inside and out, particularly is it linely flnulished inside. All the shelv ilg is nicely Polished and has the appear ance of being finished in oil and varnish. J list to tlie rear of the celter of the room is the cashier's ofilce which is litted up in the most modern style. Indeed the qiuar ers of this coicern are III) to date in.every particnlar. Mr. T. N. Hunter is a born bisiness mant and aways holds his hand with i anty coil petition. When In Liberty drop lin to see Mr. Hunter. Ile will do his itmost to please you. If he happens not t@ be in, our young friend, Bob Roo inson will greet you just as cheery,and if yoil walt to do any trading and don't trade, it will be because there is a rope tied to you and parties Oil the outside have hold of the other end, and then, Bob, if lie hasn't lost his knife, will cut lie rope to catch your trade. Mr. T. N. Ilunter's cousin, Mr. Wash Hunter, is alit-o engaged as clerk in the store. He is a little more quiet than Bob, but will leave nothing undonc to gain your confl dence and trade, Messers. Shirley & Parkins come next on our rounds. They are handsomely loated in their new store, diagonally from the illunter-Boggs Covimpany, which is fill of new goods bought at tle lowest eash prices. They commenced in the summer of 1894, and by close attention to business mnd adheriig to the principle of small prolits and q ick sales, have built it) a tite trade, Mr. if. C. Shirley is the senior member of the fIrm and has beeni iII binluess twelt.y-ona years. Uc kunws his business. Mr. C. 11. P~arkinis is ai yo-mug mn, but that cuts no figure with him, when it comes to business. You wvill Iind him strictly ini it for trade. Thieir stock of goodls is all fresh and neat, anid you wvill not, do yourself justice if you fail to call on Messers. Shirley and Park hus. Chiapmian & Callahvam are pursuing the even tenor of their way, not sstylng any thing vecry lovud, but dolig a nilce, quiet anid safe business. They carry a goodl stock. J1. D).
