After having exhausted medical skill at home, he sought the ef ficiency of healing waters and professional skill abroad, but finding all unavailing returned home, and in the midst of fam ily, friends and companions calmly, and with brave heart, awaited the inevitable, end. Quietly, peacefully and without a struggle he passed to his rest. Companion Manne resolutions be sent to the family of our deceased companion. I. "Lewexthal, J. E. Nettles. Committee.

The increase in his stock ! incident to this change, has | been so great as to necessitate ! his utilizing the large room above i his store, where he has a full line of gents’ and boys’ clothing and hats of every variety. His supply of ladies’ dress goods and drv goods, while probably not as large as with some other merchants, is exceedingly well assorted and tasty. But Mr. McCall takes special pride in his shoe department. And well he might, for, having devoted him self for a long time to this line of business, he is able to exhibit as fine an outfit of shoes as has ever been seen in these parts. They are decidedly his leader, and one cannot fail to be im pressed with the beauty of his show case, filled as it is with every style of shoe, which so attracts the eye as one enters the store. From the common shoe, Mr. McCall’s stock extends to those which are suitable to the most fastidious tastes. In the ladies’ article the price ranges from 75 cents to $6, and gents’ from 75 cents to $8. Conspicu ous among the many attrac tions, is the handsome display of ladies’ Jersey’s and gents’ woolen shirts.

Thieves Caught in the Toils- Mr. J.L, Bennett, who lives in the Stokes Bridge neighborhood, was robbed on Saturday of an overcoat and pocket book con taining $103.00. The party or parties had entered the house and committed the theft. A short while afterwards a woman was in Mr. J. H. Pate’s store, at Stokes Bridge, to make some purchases and the large amount of money she had in her hand aroused suspicion. When ques tioned she said that a certain colored man, whose name we L have not learned, gave her the j money. This man was ap-1 preached and made a statement! implicating both himselfi a n d John McCullough, col- 1 ored. McCullough then con-1 fessed to have been invc the theft and wt guarantees satisfaction m work at the lowest living prices. He solicits a trial. —Mrs. J. W. Murray is very sick. While the attending phy sician thinks she is not danger ously ill, admits that his skill is somewhat baffled. —Mr. R. L. DuBose has open ed a stock of millinery goods at the stand formerly occupied by Miss Green and proposes to suit the ladies both in quality and prices. —The Farmers’ Alliance, at this place, has decided to take stock in the Farmers’ Exchange. The Order is increasing in num bers and is as determined as ever to fight all trusts and com bines against farmers. —Mr. J. W. Beasley has made considerable improvements about his mills, havmg built a new mill house and put in a tur bine wheel, which enables him to gin and grind with much speed. —Cotton is opening and being gathered very fast, but most of the farmers are holdmg on to it to get 10 cents. The merchants are complaining about poor col lections and it seems that every good thinking farmer would come forward at once and pay up bis account while he can get 91 cents for his cotton. For from the present outlook the above prices will not be obtain ed much long. The Experimeutal Station Tax. [Editorial in the Florence Messenger.] On another page of this issue of The Messenger will be found an article written by Mr. J. vv. Beasley and published in The Darlington News, on the one- mill additional tax to pay for the experimental Agricultural Station at Darlington. Mr. Beas ley criticises very severely the aiithorsof the Act creating this additional tax; but not without just cause. There certainly seems to be good grounds for THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA COUNTY OF DARLINGTON. By T. H. Spain, Esq., Probate Judge Whereas. C.
