EDITOR: You may have had us in mind when referring in a recent issue of your paper to the peculiarity of merchants in regtrd to advertising, in which you quoted them as saying that "in good times it was not necessary to advertise, and in hard times it did not pay." While we have always found that advertising paid us, wc must confess that for the past sixty days any in? crease of business that we might secure by that means, could not have been satisfactorily waited on, as our clerical force has been taxed to its utmost capacity. Now that the rush of cotton is over and we have au opportunity to say a few words to our friends in the country, we desire to acknowledge, through the columns of the Watch? man and Southron, our grateful thanks to them for the liberal patronage bestowed upon us, for which we can offer nothing in return except our p'romise that their interests will be as care? fully guarded by us in the future as they have been in the past. It is particularly gratifying to us to*Jacknowledge a very liberal trade during the months of September and October from our farming friends, to whom it was our pleasure to extend a credit during the summer. It proves to us that they appreciate our endeavor to be just and reasonable with them, when they need assistance, as we have always tried to be?our motto being / ? LIVE AND LET LIVE Although we tried to anticipate this season's wants by buying a heavier stock than ever before, our trade has so far exceeded our expectations, that we have been obliged to re? plenish frequently and freely every department of our store. In Dry Goods We bought a very heavy stock of staples, a fair percentage of which we still have on hand and are selling at old prices, Those Tar Heel Blankets Which you have been waiting for so long have come at last. It was not our fault that they were not here sooner as our contracts were made in May for September delivery, but the mill has been so crowded with orders it was impossible to deliver them sooner. These goods are made in A Southern Mill From Southern Wool, By Southern Men and there are none better. They are improving on the fini-h every year. We are/selling at the same price as last yea-; but if we have to duplicate we will be obliged to charge an advance. We only have about FIFTY PAIRS, so don't put off buying, or you may get left. SHOE!*. Why the advance in cotton should have affected the price of shoes, but strange to say they too have gone up. We den't know whether it was judgment or luck, but our purchases for Fall were nearly double our usual contracts. We are buying now for Spring and paying 10 to 15 per cent more for the same class of goods, but those oi hand will go at the old prices while they last. In our write-up about Shoes last Fall we had something spe? cial to sav about The H. G. Godman Line for Women and Children. Our increased sales for these goods prove that we told the t ruth. Bear in mind we are still the Sole Agents for them and Guarantee every Pair THE L. M. REYNOLDS LINE OF MEN'S SHOES, sold exclusively by us, are trade-winners. The prices range from $1.75 to $3 60, and every pair warranted. If you want the best (3.00 shoe buy a Reynolds. CLOTHING. This has certainly been our banner season in the clothing business, and if there are any of the men or boys in tho county who have not bought a suit, it has not been our fault ; but fear? ing there still may be a lew unprovided, we are keeping up our stock by telegraphing orders for shipment by express. if you need an overcoat Bee us before buying, as we have some great values. In our Hat and Furnishing Goods De? partment will be found some values that compare favora? bly wit It the balance of our stock. This announcement would not be complete without a word about our GROCERY STOCK. This department is up to the usual standard, and thai it saying about all that is necessary for it. Our MILLBUuNH FLOUR, of which wc believe there i< more sold in this county than other brand, is pronounced by those who use it unsur? passed. O'Domiell & Co.
