The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1867-10-30
ABOUT TowN.-We propose, dear reader,

orcd themselves and pro6ted US by advertising this
season. Of course; people who don't value prn-
tcrs ink, enough to pay fer its use, will scarcely
expect to receive call from tbe '4eeaP' to-day.
We have no quarrel with them on tins account.
Every man knows his own business best, but then
somehow we have peculiar liking for that class
of men who are constantly keeping their business
before the people, and as general rnle' we nave
always found them right in other respects.
The starting point is an old-established printing
Office about the centre of Granite Row, up stairs,
from whence issues the katelkgenscer, hebdomadal
of respectable size and one of the cheapest papers
in the land After receiving your money for the
next years subscription, we will introduce to you
one of the cleverest merchants in oil christeneom
This individual is Capt. w. S. SHARPE, Of the en-
terprising and reliable firm Of SHARPE q FAINT To-
Gated Immediately underneath this office. The
Captain and his obliging clerks are ready to show
us the entire stock. from which a selection may
easily be made that will please the ''gude wife" and
little ones, provided you are the fortunate pos
SCISSOR of such inestimabe blessings. If not, and
you rank among the dingy and crusty bachelor
fraternity here is good chance to secure an out
fit wherewith to, kaeel before some fair damscl,
preparatory to- Joining the Benedictine line Mar
ried man, eh? So much the better. Just look at
those beautiful merinos, poplins, alpacas, prints
Empress cloths, and other elegant goods marked
down to the very lowest figures. They are fit for
ROYALTY itself! Then there are the hats, bonnets,
Ill In
rlancing around the store, the eye takes in vast
piles of mems goods women's goods, children's
goods and goods for all classes and colors of peo-
ple. But we have not time to examine the stock
lesurely, and must hasten on. One word, how
ever, before going any farther. This firm is in
the cotton market, at all times, and will pay the
highest price for cotton and other produce and
then dispose of their goods at correspondingly low
prices.
Next we will drop in upon Messrs. CLARK &
wntrr, dealers in Ready-NIade Clothing. The
senior is in the back room, experimenting the tail
oring establishment, and giving all mankind Gifts"
He is worthy, estmable gentleman, and although
We once called him 'noisy," it was only one of our
funny goaks, as poor Artemus Ward would say.
Well, here are broad cloths, beaver cloths, cassi-
meres, and everything suitable to make suit of
any description, and at prices to suit the low price
of cotton, or the low condition of your pocket-book
either! Mr.. WHITE will also offer you ready
made suit of business clothes, Sunday -go-to-meei-
ing clothes, or wedding clothes, and if none of
these meet your requirements, he is prepared to
furnish anything in the Marble line to commemo-
rate your virtues, when, having shnffied off this
mortal coil, it will become necessary to tell the
people that such man once lived in this busy
world.
Cnc door beyond is par excellence the place TO
visit, in order TO keep peace in the family. House
keeping articles and provisions of every descrip-
ton are kept in abundance by TOWERS BunRIss,
and these gentlemen understand the secrets of bu-
siness Quick sales. small profits, and liberal ad-
vertsing, constitute their mercantile creed. Staple
and fancy groceries, crockcry, glassware, wooden
ware and u thousand other things, are on their
shelves or neatly packed away. One cannot resist
the temptation to examine their fine assortment of
cooking stovcs-an indispensable article, accord
ing TO the ladies. Besides offering an endless va
riety of goods in this line, Mr. TOWERS is the agent
for several Insurance Companies, and will make
out policy either for your life or property-both
are requisite in these "evil days"
This brings us to the corner where we recog-
nizc new firm of pleasant lold) gentlemen, EvINs
s. BLrcKLEY Their stock is now complete, and
they are determined to secure large share of
patronage from the people. Everything has been
arranged with scrupulous taste, and the goods were
carefully selected to meet the wante of this Sec
ton. "a new broom sweeps clcan," and we are
confident that this new firm will make clean sweep
of your money, if they are allowed clancc to dis
play goods and rccapitulate prices. Without en-
tering into detail, it is easily observed that this
stock embraces sufficient variety to satisfy the de-
mands of the public in every respect
Across the square, at No. Brick Range, there
are couple of clever fellows and we will not fail
pay them visit This store is occupied by Z. 4
REED s. DoDBINs, and has lately been rcfitted in
good STYLE One of the firm recently visited
Charleston, and there purchased capital stock Of
goods after the decline in prices. This enables
them to offer bargains TO customers Never fail TO
give them call, and expect an honest, hearty
welcome, and the best of treatment.
At the other end of Brick Range, we will meet
with an old familiar face pehaps couple of them.
An ex- Clerk and ex Sheriff hold forth there. The
store is in the aame Of E. WEBB, Agent, and that
wcll-known gentleman is assisted by "Hunkdora'
JoE MCGEE The stock is not among the largest
in town, but embraces every variety of goods
usually kept in retail houses, and prices equally
favorable to the buyer.
Our attention is next attracted by newly
whitc-washcd building on McCully's Corner, whsEc
j. L. HARPER s. Co. hold forth. The unsightly ap-
pcarancc of this building, few years ago. is easily
remembered, but it has been reconstructed on the
white basis, and we take pleasure in acknowlcdg-
