REMEDY FOR Dull TINES. Tho
best remedy for dull times is to ad-
vertise freely. Merchants should not
let their stocks stay shelvcd until
they become old, stale and unprofit-
able, for the sake of the small ex-
pense it would cost them to adver-
tise. If they try it regularly and
persistently, they will find the in
vestmcnt to be paying one.
ANOTHER GUST On Thursday
night, severe thunder gust passed
over this city, accompanied by heavy
rains. From the country, we learn
that the rain extended North and
South Of the city, but that little da-
mage was sustained on the growing
crops.
JOB PRINTING. The Job Office of
the Phonic is as complete as any in
the South. It is furnished with new
fonts of type Of all descriptions and
OF the most modern styles. All work
executed promptly, with taste and
skill, and at reasonable rates.
F1RE.-A little perturbation in the
community was occasioned yesterday,
about o'clock p. M, by an alarm of
fire, which was found to have origi-
mated in the campus of the South
Carolina University. The alarm was
from some untimely admixturc of the
heavy rain we had on the previous
night with certain chemical prcpara-
tions in the laboratory of the Uni
versity. There was more smoke than
fire, however, and the alarm soon
subsidized.
UP-HnL BUSINESS. s.-Onc of the
slowcst, and hardest, and most un-
necessary jobs ever undertaken, is
for man to build up successful
business without advertising. Fifty
or hundred years ago it was easier,
because there was less competition,
and the facilities for getting adver-
tiseGents before the public were not
so good; but in the jostle of modern
competition, those who sit down and
wait for customers are almost sure
not to get many of them, while by
judicious advertising man may, in
six weeks, make his name and bust
ness as familiar to the public rs those
OF his competitors of twenty years
standing.
THE F'IREArEN's GAIA DAY. The
programme of the proceedings des-
tined for yesterday was somewhat
disarrangcd by the non arrival of the
President of the Fircmen's Associa-
tion of New York, and the members
of the committee who accompanied
him, via the Wilmington and Man
chester Railroad. The breaches on
this road having been repaired, the
committee arrived at Kingsville yes
terdny morning, when q special train
was put in requisition, and few mi
mites before II m., the committee
arrived.
The ceremony of the presentation
of the hose carriage took place shortly
after the arrival of the visitors. The
addresses were made under spacious
arbor, North of the new market
house. Mr.. Wilson, President Of the
New York Association, on presenting
the hose reel, made modest but very
appropriate address. He said:
Nothing can be more gratifying to
my feelings than to represent on this
interesting occasion. In spite of
troublesome events, our fraternal ties
remain unbroken. and there exist the
same old unity Of purpose. as mem
