SEPT, 1899 SEPT. 1915 We have just passed the 16th annual mile-post in : business in Pickens. We think that the years of exper ienlce has been worth as much to our trade as it has been to ourselves. We have been able to learn more about merchandise. We have been able to locate better lines of goods that we can sell the trade-goods that fit better and wear longer thereby; giving them better goods for ": the money, and at the same time giving us an opportun- - ity to sell the same customer the same kind of goods again. This fall'finds us with the largest and best line of up-to-date merchandise it has ever been our privilege to own. We have our dry goods side filled with new, well selected goods and the price is as reasonable as can be expected, quality considered. All sizes in corsets of the American Beauty line. Coat suits just in and all new styles, don't fail to see them. A new line of ladies', miss es, and children's coats. Call and inspect them and let us quote you prices. -" Blankets and comforts: Blankets $1.00 to $6.00 per * pair. Comforts $1.00 to $2.50 each. Window shades 25 " to 50c. Curtain poles 10 and 15c each. Feather pillows 75c to $1.00 each. A good line of trunks and bags always . on hand. 4: Men's suits $10.00 to $17.50. Boys' suits $2.50 to $6.

I think that this will be my last change before I reach Pickens, S. C., "God's country." I was asked the other day by a Butte man where Pickens got its name. I told him that it was the best pickings of South Caro lina for a city, and therefore they called it Pickens. Sincerely, W. E. FIELo. An Important Invention What we believe to be one of the greatest as well as the sim plest inventions and one that means the saving of millions of dollars to the farmers of the South, is an improvement on plow points invented by Mr.S.M. Johnston, a well-known and successful planter of near Lib erty. The plow points now on the market are the same thickness all over except the bevel edge point. After a little use the points wear off and in order to get another point the blacksmith cuts off a good part of the plow and beats it down to get another point. The right side of the point does not wear on the plow point now on the marget. Mr. Johnston's plow point is thin on the right side, the left side being three times as thick. This al lows the point to wear fully three tims as long as the common point, and when it does need sharpening there is plenty of material to "'beat it down" with out cutting off any of the point. --Anderson Tribune.
