The butterfly has lost his wing, Which is of Fall a token, For the caterpillar? come to sting, When summer's back is broken. 'Tis now the mountain schooners come With apples red and juicy ; And 'neath the long white covers, some Have cider sweet, Ge ru-shee ! We know that now tha summer's done, So tap the barrel, oaken, And sip that cider, Ob, what fun ! Wbeo summer's back is broken. You talk of spring and summer lime, And sing of birds and grass ; 'Bat give me Christmas and the chime Of cider in my glass The open fire-place-wood piled high Tbe 'possum brown and smokin', A;sippin' cider-never dry When summer's back is broken.

It is impossible to do justice, in the limited space allowed us, to the different departments of our shire, and we feel that we are well enough known in the territory tributary to Sumter, not to require us to enter into a detailed descriolion of it. Our annually in creasing business has warranted us in buying The largest stock we have ever bought, And should we be so fortunate as to enjoy as liberal a patronage from our friends this season as we have in the past we will have no reason to regret our ourchases. Our buyer paid particular attention to the purchase of Hosiery Having bought in all nearly IO,OOO St?ZV&. In which there are some excellent values. We would call particular attention to one case. 750 pairs, of Misses narrow ribbed, full regular made at 10c. per pair. These are regular 15c. to 20c. goods. One case, 900 pairs, of Boys: extra long and very heavy woven seam, at 15c. per pair. These goods retail everywhere at 25 cente.

If these are too dear we wjll gell you a pair from 45c. up. _+0 +_ Well we have a few of them, about 1.000 we should say, and the lady who buys without seeing our stock w>.l have reason to regret it, for she wfll pay more money.
