WHEN SUMMER'S BACK IS
BROKEN.
J C. G.. ia Spartanburg Herald.
Tbe coal man's come to take the place
The ice man used to hoid,
.And straw bat? now have run the race
Gee-wbilikins, it's cold !
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.
What's the matter with Garlingtoe ?
It Was the Way it Was Put.
. **I presume you gave the prisoner
some occasion to strike?" "Why, yonr
honor, we were talking about the coin?
age, and he made some statement that
called me to remark that he bad been
misled and was arguing from tbe wrong
premises, and then be struck me."
."Is that what he said to you. prisoner ?"
"Yes, that was the substance of it. your
honor, but not the language What he
said was that I didn't know enough to
pound sand io a rat hole, and was talk?
ing through my bat like a jackass full
of thistle? and bull-nettles.''
' A special to the Constitution from
Home says that J ?R Tidwell, marshal
of Seoey. was shot dead last night by
Lester 'Echols Tidwell had arrested
Echote for being drunk. The prisoner
drew a pistol while under arrest and
shot the marshal through the heart.
Echols escaped. He is being bunted
with bloodhounds. .

OUR FALL STOCK
Is now complete iii every department, and buyers will do themselves an in?
justice, if they fail to see us before making their winter pur?
chases. 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.
One case, 1200 pairs, Ladies' fast black, full regular made
at 10c. per pair.
These goods must be 9een to be appreciated.
Our Dry Croods Stock
Is complete in every department.
Our line of Dress Goods at 25c per yard in all wool fabrics, are worthy of
special mention. Will be pleased to send samples on application.
--Ml
Blankets*
Those who were fortunate enough to secure a pair of our celebrated all-wool
Tarheel's ^a8t ^ear ^ear te8timonyae to *ueir worth; but they
are better made this season, and our
large contract for them warrants
us in selling them at $3.90 pr pair.
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. We can sell a good Beaver Cloth in Black or Navy neatly
trimmed in fur and braid for One Dollar-goods that sold last season from
$2 00 to $2 50.
SHOES.
Our stock in this line is better than ever. We carry no shoddy shoe?.
Every pair is warranted solid or money refunded
o
Judging from the way our tables are piled we must expect to do some
business in this lino.
If your boy wants a suit we have them from 65c up
If your husband wants a suit we have them from ?2 up.
Our all wool black Cheviot at ?4 50 cannot be duplicated for less than ?6 50.
Il"il
This is the line we have mada our reputation on, and we are bound tc
sustain it. Our compelitors may advertise sample hats and Job Lot6, but
shrewd bin era who want the best goods for the least money seek us.
We will say nothing about our GROCERY STOCK-they are so cheap
they are not worth advertising space
Every man, woman and child in Sumter County will need something for
the Winter, and we extend to all au invitation to come and see us. Our
salesmen will take pleasure in showing yoi: through our stock, and if they
cannot sell you. they will make it very interesting for those who do.
