O'DOftN ELL & CO. m We owe an apology to our patrons for being so late in making our An iioiincement ?JiJj,JJSfJJJ SJJJJJJJJJfJ 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 beliehen in newspapers as a means of Jmaking 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 ull 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 ita, 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 men to, 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 tho present season is the largest and best assorted we have ever carried, and had we space to display it we could fill a store twi<& as large as,the one we now occupy, our duplicate stock being larger than what we have on exhibition on the tirst floor. All this we hope will be reme? died after January 1st, when we move into our new store now being erected. Hat s. We established a reputation in this Hut). some years ago. that we have been oonataatly adding to We sup ply a good maoy dealers, who mnst save money by buying from ua, or ?bey would aot do ao. Outside of our regular line we bought 100 Dozen From a oommiaaion houae at about 60 eeuta on the dollar. We have Men's aod Boy a for Hale at 26 and 50 cents, aod the Man's Hat we sell at 75c would appear cheap, if bought elsewhere for $125 Clothing. Tbia baa always been a strong line with uo, aod we can assure those who have favored us with their pa tronsge in this department formerly, that we have never had a better line to select from Men's all wool' Cheviots, $5, $7 50 and $10. Men's Fancy Worsteds, $5 $7 50, $10 and $12 Men'a all wool Caasiroere, $5, $6, $7 50, {10 aod $12 50 Men'a Clay Worsteds, in black and colora, $5, $6, $7 50, $10, $12 & $15 BOYS' CLOTHING. 750 pairs Boy's Knee Pants, worth 35c, 40c and 50c at 26o per pair. We bought the remnant of a man? ufacturer's stock, the quactity seems large, but the way they are going! 8Jc?as cheap as they were ever sold they won't last long. | 50 pieces of Flannelettes at 8,\c? 250 Boy's Double Breasted Suits at 75c and $1 These goods are worth 33J to 50 per cent more. Oor line at $1 50, $2, $2 50, $3 50 and $5 cannot be beaten. tins is a very desirable fabric for Waists and Wrappers, and is easily worth 10 to 12^c Dry Goods. Here will be found as complete a line of Staple and Domestic Goods as the needs of any housekeeper de raand Our DOMESTICS were bought on a basia of 7 cents cotton, and while we did not think at the time that cotton waa going to 10 ceuts wo in? vested io 50.000 Yards We have , 100 pieces of Outings at 5, 6] and 60 Pairs Tar Heel Blankets. These are not in stock, but will be by the time this reaches you, as they are on the way You know what they are, and no advance in price We have a complete line of cheap Blankets from 75c to $1.50. A line of Comforts from 75c to $2 Oor stock.of Sheeting, Pillow cas ihg, Table Damask, Doylies and Napkins is complete and prices right siloes. If there is any one line in our house belter than another we believe this is it All our Shoes are bought direct from manufacturers, and in such quantities, as to warrant us in getting Jobbers' prices, thereby sav? ing the middle man's profit, and giv? ing the benefit of it to our customers If anything was needed to strengthen this department, we have certainly succeeded ?n doing so by the addi? tion of the BAY STATE LINE and E. P. REED & CO'S LINE of Women's fine Shoes This latter line is no stranger to the ladies of Surater County, as we handled them with a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction up to a few years ago, but for some reason, they withdrew from this territory, aud wo feel assured their old patrons wili be pleaced to welcome them back Reynolds', Bay State, E. P. Reed & Co. and Godmau are Hard to Beat. In addition to these wo carry a complete line of Men and Women's staple .Shoes S. We hesitate to say how many of these we bonght, as we might be accused of varying from the path of truthfulness, but we are safe io as? serting not less than 250 Dozen Just think of it! 3,000 SHIRTS.. You wonld naturally say, why do you buy so many '! If you saw what we are selling for 25 Cents You would a6k no further question. You cannot buy goods right unless you buy quantities. 0D0NNELL & CO. 0'DONNELL & CO O'DONNELL & GO. AMICABLY C?OSEE. Cbilditb Bebavior of Gen Cbaftae and Count Von Waidergee. Bwlia, Dee 11 ?
