t THE WATCHMAN AND SOUTHRON. OCTOBER 3, 1900. ODONNELL & CO. We owe an apology to our patrons for being so late in making our Fall Announcement tjjjssjjjjtssjjjjfjr. But the gentleman who has charge of our advertising department has been so busy attending to other matters, that he seems to have slightly neglected this very important branch of our business While we are Firm believers in newspapers as a means of making known the good things you have to offer, our experience is, that the people with whom you have been dealing and who have always gotten ONE HUNDRED CENTS WORTH For every dollar they gave you are the best advertisers. This we have proven beyond all doubt during the past month, in which our business has been the largest ever recorded in September. Some of our friends attracted by newspaper advertise? ments, or curiosity, would go into other stores, and after looking through to their entire satisfaction would return and make their bill with us, admitting frankly that we were offering BETTER VALUES THAN OUR COMPETITORS. It takes years to build a reputation of this character and we feel very proud of it. Our stock for the present season is the largest and best assorted we have ever carried, and had we space to display it, we could 611 a store twice as large as the one we now occupy, our duplicate stock being larger than what we have on exhibition on the first floor. All this we hope will be reme . died after January 1st, when we move into our new store now being erected. Hats.

Onr DOMESTICS were bought on n basis of 7 cents cotton, nnd while we did not thiok nt the time that oottoo wan going to 10 cents wn in vested in 50,000 Yards We heve 100 pieces of Outings nt 5, 6? nnd 8 Jc?as cheap ee thsy were ever sold 50 pieces of Flaunelettes nt 8Jc? this is n very desirnble fabrio for Waists end Wrappers, nnd is easily worth 10 to 12Jc 50 Pairs Tar Heel Blankets. These ere not in stock, bat will be by the time this reaches you, ns they are on the way. You know what they are, and no ndvance in price. We have a complete line of cheap Blankets from 75c to $1.50. A line of Comforts from 75c to $2 Onr stock of Sheeting, Pillow cas? ing, Tnble Damaek, Doylies and Napkins is complete and prices right Shoes. If there ie any one line in our bouse better than another we believe this is it All oar Shoes ere bought direct from manufacturers, and in nach quantities, es to wnrrant as in getting Jobbers' prices, thersby sav? ing the middlo man's profit, and giv? ing the benefit of it to oar customers. If anything was needed to strengthen this deportment, we hnve certainly succeeded in doing so by the addi? tion of the BAY 8TATE LINE end E P. REED & CO'S LINE of Women's fine Shoes This latter line is no stranger to the ladies of Snmter County, as we handled them wjth a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction up to a few years sgo, but for some resson, they withdrew from this territory, and we feel assured their old patrons will be pleased to welcome them back. Reynolds', Bay State, E. P. Reed & Co. and Godman are Hard to Beat. - In addition to these we csrry a complete line of Men and Women's staple Shoes Shirts. We hesitate to say how maoy of these we booght, ee we might be accused of varying from the path of truthfulness, but we ere safe in as? serting not less thso 250 Dozen Just think of it I 3,000 SHIBTS. Yoa woold naturally say, why do you buy so many ? If you saw what we ere selling for 25 Cents You would ask no farther question. Yoa cannot buy goods right unless yoa bay quantities. 0 D0NNELL & CO.

Yes, August Flower still hits the largest sale of any medicine in the oivilised world. Your mothers and grandmothers never thought of using anything else for indigestion or killten!? ness.
