How to dress with the greatest taste is a problem which has interested the world since the time when man (and woman, too. for that matter) was limited, in making a se lection, to the choice of forest leaves. The rule laid down by “the melancholy Dane” for dressing in taste has been the established law of the fash ionable world for three centuries. An opportunity is offered the people of Darlington of dressing in accordance with it by calling at (((floods Cv (iflloods’ where is to be found a fall and winter stock of goods, all of the very latest styles, which will delight the men ns much as the ladies of the community.

Darlington is on the direct line from Southport to Greenville and not many in ducements will be necessary to persuade the projectors of the road to build it through this place. As the road will have to go around Darlington in order to avoid the town, and as Dar lington is large and important enough to attract a railroad, it will not be hard to secure it. For this reason the business men of Darlington should make an effort to obtain the road.
