The Two Best Fertilizers.
I havo bought largely of these cele
brated brands of fertilizers and can
sell my friends and tho public gen
erally at the lowest prices. The Po
comoke brand, manufactured by tho
Pocomoke Guano Company of Nor
fork, Virginia, Is one of the most ex
cellent of high grado fertilizers. More
over it is one of the oldest brands and
6in< c before tho war It has been con
stantly sold throughout Virginia a:ul
North Carolina. I aiSO handle the
acids of tho I'ocomokc Company.
The Ober fertilizer is recognized as
one of the best guanos on the market
and tho people can rest assured that i
will furnish it at tho very lowest fig
ures.
Having purchased quite largely, I
am content to mako only a small profit
on these goods in order to assist tho
people and my old customers, espec
ially, and I ask that they givo mo
their orders with tho assurance that
they will tecolve the best fertilizers
at the lowest prices.

A Big Dividend.
"While tho Laurens Cotton Mills
have declared a very handsome divi
dend to the shareholders" remarked a
leading banner of this city last week,
"Its largest dividend /ras to persons
who owned not ..ollar of stock, the
farmers all over the county received a
great deal moro money from tho in
creased prices of cotton, brought about
by tho mill buying, than the share
holders have gotten from the stock.
Tho Hhareholders are of course more
than satisfied with tho mills' pros
perity, but the farmers aro oven more
indebted to it and should appreciate
tho obligation."
The Clinton Cotton Mill.
The Clinton Cotton Mills hoard of
directors held u meeting last week
and declared a semi-annual dividend
of 4 per cent. This mill was built
through the enterprise and public
spirit of Mr. M. s. Bailey, who is tho
president. Mr. Bailey had long before
acquired reputation as a successful
hanker and all-round business man,
but when the progressive business
men of the South embarked in mill
building Mr. Bailey determined to as
sist in the development of his town
and state. Under his able direction
the mill has been steadily successful
and in bringing population and busi
ness has been <>f great value to Clin
ton. The president of the mill has ef
ficient assistance In the secretary, Mr.
Cad Bailey, who though a young man
has demonstrated marked ability in his
choseu line of work.

We aro very sorry that Mr. Aber

enjoys handling "the gray goose quill"
and that is the reason he writes so
well. Wo will i xpect him to resume it

Clearance Sale!
We Inn o resolved to clear the decks, and when we determine to do a thing we enter
into it heart and soul. We want to clear every heavy weight garment out of our store
in the next 30 Days.
During this sale no goods will be charged to anybody, so do not ask for credit, or to
take goods out to look at. Pay for what you get and we will return the money if they
do not suit. We inaugurate this sale for two reasons: It gives us time to balance our
books for 1899 and get our breath before launching out in the year 1900. With the
ringing of chimes we bid good bye to 1899, and extend to the new year a hearty w elcome.
This store is very grateful for the generous patronage it has enjoyed, and we (rust that
we have earned your confidence by deserving it. So good bye 1899. You gave us many
new friends, and made us more solid with the old ones. You proved again that such
merit as lies in our business methods is bound to win. We part with you gratefully
but expectantly, for we are sure 1900 will do more for us than you have done.
