The writer had the pleasure of
mingling with a number of friends
last Friday at the '*cut down''
ground, on Black river, to enjoy
a picnic. Although everything
conspired to make the day a pleasapt
one I. could not but feel a
tinge of melancholy in contemplation
of the past, realizing that
some oi my friends whom I met
there two years ago had passed
into the great Beyond. Iu consequence
of this, however, it brought
me to a deeper realization of my
friendship lor those who were present.
It is due to. the fair dames of
this vicinity, who provided a most
delicious and sumptuous dinner
notwithstanding the hard times,
that there was spread before us
'everythingimaginable to tempt the
appetite of a LuctlHus. The river,
too, contributed its share to the
feast in the way of appetizing and j
luscious bream and perch of the1
finest description.
After dinner boat-riding was
the principal diversion, and so
far as I could discern through the
perspective the sincere and susceptible
youths, were plighting
their everlasting, undying and
unceasing affection to the pretty
and sympathetic maids, and Mr.

COMMISSION MERCHANTS, '
We desire to say to our fr:end3
md patrois that we are still carryng
on business at the old stand,
vhere we are better than ever before
prepared to serve them.
This will be perhaps the hardest
fear that our farmers have had to
contend with since the war, anu feeing
this ourselves we are going to .
make it a study to try to place provisions
of all kinds in Kingstree for
is little money as they possiblv can
je laid down here tor and sold on. a
strictly cash basis. Any businessman
knows that Corn, Grits. Bacon,
Molasses, Flour and such like goods
ire the same as money. And what
>ur people need in lvingstree is a
man vrbo is able to cope with, the
outside business world and bring,
them to their doors as cheap as they
oau get them in any. market. Ibis-.
can only be. done with th-e; money..
and at the outset we,want to,tell.pu:y
customers that it takes mon.?7?to ;*nr.,
|
this kind of business, Tt never hcs.
been attempted here before. It ia.
purely experimental, and whether it.
shall succeed or fail depends upon ,
the support the people shall give it.
In this day and age in order to keep
np with the markets of the world
a man has to study themand make it iv
business and get prices way down in
order to know when and where to
buy. With these introductory
remarks we want now briefly to tell
jron some of the goods we handle,via:
CORN, SUGAR,
OATS, COFFEE,
HAY, CIGARS,
, GRITS. TOBACCO.
MEAL, SALT,
STARCH, CANDY,
FLOUR, CHEESE,
LARI), ' CRACKERS,
BACON, MOLaSSES,
BUTTER, STAR LYE,
SOAP. OIL,
CANNED GOOD3.
For prices come to see us. We
sell the goods just us low as they can
be sold.
CORN
We are prepared to sell corn for
Future delivery. Prices can be fixed
low to run till May at one uniform
price. Price to-day, 95c per busiiel.
