BRITISH GAIN A MINOR VICTORY. London, Jan 1?Tbe Daily Mail baa the followiog di*p*toh, dated Jao 1, from Rensburg :' "Yesterday afternoon a big foroe of oavalry aod infantry with too guns, under the personal oommaod of Oeo Frenoh, moving by detour, oooupied aome hills tbreo miles from Coiesberg, where the B)?rs wero io atreogto, confident io tbe natural aid afforded them by tbe hills around.

Ao artillery doel was maintained for two boura. Theo a Boer Hotchkiaa ool lapaed aod was abandoned. We cap? tured it. A Boer big gun waa silenced* but this aod the other Boer guns were witbdrawo to tbe northward, wbitber we are kjurasbiog tbe Boer retreat by a damagiog shell fire "Coiesberg is io oar bands, aod the few remaining Loyalist* are jubilant We have oaptored maoy wagons aod a considerable quantity of stores. "Our losses were quite slight, bo: tbe Boers must have suffered heavily. They may stop at Achtertang or oroas the river altogether at Norvalspoot, where the bridge ia still intact." BULLKR'S TROUBLES ARE IN GREASED. Loodoo, Jao 2 ?The Standard's correspondent at Frere oamp telegraph iog oo Jao 1, says: "Sir Charles Warren's division ie oow neariy com? plete Its headquarters will be at Estcourt.

TIME FOR PAYMENT OF TAXES EXTENDED Will be Received Without Penalty Until Feb Tbo people of the State who nave failed to pay their taxes by Deo 31st, as required by Uw, will read with real ploasure tho announcement that the time for the payment of taxes without the penalties has baeo extended to tbe first day of February next This extension was granted yesterday by the governor and comptroller gso* eral, when io their judgment it is deemed expedient and to the best inter? ests of tbe people and tbo State Yes terday morning the governor and the comptroller talked the matter over very carefully and the extension was net made beoanse of any urgent appeals reoeived, but in order to avoid com plications that only serve to mix up the tax oolleotiog machinery and throw it into a hopeless tangle.

Before it oan aot tho timo for tbe paymeot of taxes without peoalty expires and in tbe interim those who pay up have tojcay the penalties also, when later on Wo extension by tbe leg? islative process oomes along those who have paid tbe pcualtios want tboso pen* l*alties baok and confusion worwo con? founded in the accounts of the treasury ooours, oausiog the comptroller's office worry and trouble throughout tbe year and giving room for charges to bo made against honest officials oocupyirg the treasurers' offices. The necessity for somo obaoge io the tax laws to obviate this trouble 6cems imperative Tbis is tbo principal reason why tbe extension is grauted tbis year The comptroller is very anxious to get all tbe machinery running on a business? like bants, and to this end he thought it wiso to extend the time for the psjfiB o of taxes tbis yonr Toe proper tfinial notices of the ex? tension will be seot cut to tbo se v? eral couoty treasurers ut once.?State, Jan 2, Mrs. R Qborsblll, Berlin.

TRIPP, Superintendent. KIN, Qen'l PtteMger Agent A FEW ftlDS -TO BI FRIENDS. MR, EDITOR: You may have had us in mind when referring in a recent issue of your paper to the peculiarity of merchants in regard 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, we 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 an 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 promise 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 acknowledge 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 jest and reasonable with them, when they need assistance, as we have alwavs tried to be?our motto being LIVE AND LET LIVE Although we tried to anticipate this season's wants by buyii g a heavier stock ihan ever before, our trade has so far exceeded our expectations, that we have been oblige^ to re? plenish frequently and freely every department of oui store. In Dry Good? 1 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 Soutnern Wool, By Southern Men and there are none better. They are improving on the finish every year. We are selling at the same price as last year; 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. SHOES. Why the advance in cotton should have affected the price of shoes, but strange to say they too have gone up. We don'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 16 per cent more for the same class of goods, but those o i hand will go at the old prices while they last. In our write-up about Shoes last Fall we had something spe? cial to say about The H. 0. Godnian Line for Women and Children. Our increased sales for these goods prove that we told the truth. Bear in mind we are still the Soli: Agents foii 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 be^t $3 00 shoe buy a Reynolds. CLOTHING. This has certainly been our banner season in the clothing business, und it* there are any of the men or boys in the county who have not bought a suit, it has not been cur fault ; but fear? ing there stiil may he a lew unprovided, we are keeping up our stock by telegraphing orders for shipment by exnu-s. ?A' vou need an overcoat Bee us before buying, at we have * some great values. j In our Hat and Furnishing G-oods De? partment will he found some values that compare favora? bly with 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 that is saying about all that is necessary for it. Our M1LLBURNK FLOUR, of which we believe there is more sold in this county than other brand, is pronounced by those who use it, unsur-* passed. O'Donnell & Co.
