AN IMMENSE ARRAY OF FALL AND WINTER MERCHANDISE = HERE FOR YOUR INSPECTION ' Every business house in the State has made extensive preparation* for the Fall's ?trade Their calculations were based upon a large crop at very nattering prices, both of which promised well when their buyers were in market, aod a glance through the stores of Sun ter will prove that this progressive city of ours is no ex? ception to the rule, for every house seems to be taxed to the limit of its capacity. We learne 1 long ago that you could not sell goods uiless you had them, and it seldom happens that a person comes in our stores that we cannot supply his wiints for our stock is always full, but were we to use the express ion, "FULL TO OVERFLOWING," we would only be conveying a faint idea of \ The Enormous Stock of Merchandise that is contained within the four walls of our building We did not wait to see what the cotton crop was go ? ing to do, as a large percentage of our conti acts for this Fall's merchandise were placed before there was a seed planted, and it is fortunate for those who patronize us so liberally that we did, as it enables us to sell them geods much less than we could otherwise do, as we give our customers the advantage.
