Hobo. i I l'' We call crpecial attention this week 11 to the advertisement on page'two of our < n new merchant, Mr. M. W. llobo. Mr. ls" Hobo is well known in the Cross Keys and Sedalia section of Union county as IS" a hustling and successful young bus ness c<j man. lie began his business experience 1,1 with .J. It. Minter, a very prosperous " merchant at Sedalia, and continued with him until Mr. Minter decided to sell out ' . Ins mercantile business in Union county 1 and move to Laurens, where lie wasal-o I1" running a large mercantile establish:!! mt. Mr. Minter Hobo purchased the business . at Sedalia and has since been conducting it in a successful manner and by his in. tegrity and business way of doing busi,s ness bo added quite a number of new . . customers to the already large list of . patrons. Sedalia being a country place, T1 was too small a place for a man of Mr. lh?bo's business ability and he finally 1( V decided to come to town where he would liAt. i?AiHiu?hit.ii\n f.inr\ \i\ faoo time V? giving him full opportunity fji the JJ fullest development of liis business taut and ability.
