Mr. Jasper Mixon had his hand badly broken recently, while working at Mr. Malcohn Timmons’ saw mill, about five miles north of Timmonsville. All the bones, but those of the little finger were broken. Dr. J. O. Byrd attended the wound ed man and repaired the injury as much as possible. - — - m+m ■ ■ htrllinrton’K Live Merrluiiits THE ENTERPRISE GROCERY, which, by the way, bears a misnomer for it by no means limits itself to groceries, is an old "stapd-by” with the people of Darlington. It has greatly increased its supply of groceries, and will fully sustain its past reputation in this line. Its crackers and sweet biscuits are well known in every household in town are always a welcome visitor. The Grocery sells the “Snow flake” cracker in three pound cans allowing the pur chaser to retain the cans. This is decidedly something new. Thjere has been an immense in crease in the stock of shoes; these articles at $1 a pair in loth ladies’ and gentlemen’s styles are now offered to the public. This house has on hand a fine ladies shoe for $1.10 and the fa mous Wardwell shoe for gents at $3.25. Gents’ hats are made a specialty, and can lie had from 25 cents up. Tobacco and cigars are also sold here and every one who smokes can recommend th^ Grocery’sold reliablecigar “The Possum.” In the past this store has been dealing in hardware but, as jt has recently abandon ed thi« line, it is now selling out Imtire stock at cost. Bear mind. J. FRANK EARLY’S is one of the oldest general mer chandise stores in town, and having stood the test of time needs no special commendation at this late day to establish its reputation. But in noticing it briefly we will say that in its line of gents’ furnishing goods there is a full stock of medium and low grade goods, suits rang ing from $5 to $20, and hats from 25 cents to $2.50, the articles at the latter named price being especially fine. Children’s suits are from $2 up. With a number of other shoes Mr. Early handles the famous “Bay State.” In the ladies’ dress goods ‘►depart ment, there is everything to please the eye of the gentler sex. Here are some of the specialties: Half wool goods at 121 cents; double width cashmeres at 15 and 25 cents; 45 inch Henriettas at 50 cents; double width flan nels at 50 and <$0 cents. Partic ular attention should be given . to the complete line of ladies’ black goods, ranging from 15 cents to $1. Imported rips, :I8 inches wide and perfection in \ their line, may be obtained for $1 per yard. In fact this store carries a specially large suprlv of staple dry goods. The full; line of cloaks and Modjeska and Newmarket jackets deserve special mention. We find here, also, harness, crockery, hard and tinware and groceries; in the latter staple a prominent feature is flour. Mr. Early’s outfit is well assorted and is fully suited to the wants of the community. BLACKWELL BROS., young firm, have pushed weather, are had here at all weights and prices. The gro cery department contains fancy roceries, teas, coffees and all inds of staples articles. Soap and flour are offered at low job bing figures. Tn tobacco the “Farmers’ Alliance” and “Jeff Davis” take the lead and will compare favorably with any tobacco in the market. The “Imperial Rose” and “Boodle” cigars are excellent. Messrs. Blackwell Bros., are the sole agents for this County for the “New Home” and “Wheeler and Wilson” sewing machines. The latest Improvement of the latter, No. 9, in handsome oak casing, is a novelty and well worthy of a trial. A comparison of the quality of the goods, this firm handles, with their prices will prove that they offer the most reasonable bargains in each and every department of their trade. a W- rapidly to the front, and there they propose to remain. The handsome brick store erected purposely for them, and filled, as it is. with everything in the general merchandise line, is an evidence, in itself of the prosper ity which only accompanies merit. The firm is handling a fine stock of gent’s furnishing g(H)ds, and is carrying the pup- ular and welFknown “Gold and Silver” shirts at a greatly re duced price. In shoes they can suit all ages and sexes, and are sidling these very reasonably. The hand sewed shoe at $4 is a beauty and the ladies’ shoe for $1.25 is “just the thing.” Good bargains will be given in clothes and hats. Their dress flannels are all that could be desired. Blankets and bed-spreads which are very seasonable in this N. L. HARRELL A CO. is the latest addition to our busi ness circle and may be found next door to Messrs. Edwards, Norment & Co. They carry on the carriage and harness, busi ness and also do undertaking. The large hall in the upper story of the building is well fill ed although their stock is by no means complete, as yet. for every day they are receipt of moregoods. They propose to sell carriages, buggies, wagons and carts of many descriptions, keeping a large supply always on hand, and also have cuts from which they will order any kind of vehicle desired. They handle especially the Columbus, 1 Hackney and Single Centre i Spring Buggies and have Sulkies from $13 up. Their prices in harness range from $7 to $30. Mr. W. B. Oakes, who has long been in the harness business, has been engaged by the firm to repair and manufacture harness: his aptitude in such matters is a sufficient guarantee of the work which will be furnished the cus tomers of the house. Messrs. N. L. Harrell & Co. are now pre pared to perform all kinds of work incident to burials, and, for this purpose, have a hand some and complete outfit. They certainly appreciate the value of advertising to judge from their beautiful sign and also their handsome wooden horse which are attracting universal admira tion. (over ' sent on Sunday, the.
