couple of old newspapers, kindly loaned as by Mr.
R. o. ANDERSON, of this District. The Charleston
City Gazette and Daily Aduertiser, long recognized

are dated respectively June II, 1889, and May ILL.,
1872, and have been carefully preserved up to TINS

numbers, we recognize considerable change and

s.Nothing extenuate-nor set down aught in NAL
ice," is highly commendable, and deserves more
general emulation in this day and generation. The
benefits of advertising seem thoroughly under
stood, as from two-thirds to three-fourths OF the
Cfty Gazette and Daily Advertiser is occupied by
such wholesome favors For the benefit OF those
who take an interest in the literature of that era,
