Abbevillo can boast of rs fine n
Millinery House as any in in the
State Of South Carolina-in fact, as
fine rs any in any city, North or
South. The stock will compare with
any Retail House in Charleston, Bal
timore or New York. Tho Ladies'
can have no plea for sending off for
their millinery any longer, for Mcssrs.
Fowler & Mcdonald can show as pret-
ty goods, as fine goods, as stylish
goods as can be found in Baltimore
or New York. And, besides, they
can prove their prices to be from 25
to so per cent. lower than city prices.
They hayc every style of Hat and
Bonnet that is out. Should any new
and novel style make its appearance
in New York, they have arrange
ments by which to get it Immediately.
hence there is no necessity for the La
dies Of Abbeville to pay city prices
when they can do better At home.
