VX7OMAN'S WORK is NEVER DONE, lisa
w saying of the past. Woman's work
or at least that portion of it most dreaded and
continual-her sewing-is now speedily and
beautifully done by the aid of the Grover & Baker
Sewing Machine, which while it lessons the IL:
Dor, adds to the excellence of the sewing by tA>
trength, elasticity and durability gifts work.
A CHILD CAN OPERATE A

1t sews from two common spools, makes q
stitch stronger than that made by hand, and It's
simplicity is marvellous in comparison to is
capacity.
HEALTH, TIME AND MONEY
ARE ECONOMIZED
by the useof Grover & Baker Sewing Machine
They are unlimited in their capacity, and unex
celled in their excellence. The merit of embroid

which style of trimming is now so popular
renders them par excellence, the most desirable OF

Tho Greenville Coach and Wagon
Mandatory of Messrs. Cover, Cox
a. Marlsley was well represented at
our Fair last week, and took pre-
miuns for their buggies and wagons.
They had on exhibition four buggies
and two wagons: one very fine
double seated buggy with fine pole and
shafts, price 1928; one fine top
buggy, $3.50; one fine open buggy,
s1s5; and one plain buggy to suit the
times, $130. This establishment
having been operation for thirty-fve
years, and having deservedly earned
and sustained high character for
theirwork and fair dealing, will 20
doubt receive an increase to the very
liberal patronage heretofore extended
to them. Their wagons are too we'll
and favorably known to require com.
mont from US.
We are glad to learn that they
have taken stock in our Society and
trust that they will continue their
contributions.

A Good Word for the Freedmen.

We are gratified to hear from ono
of our merchan ts. that tho freedmen
of our District are paying off their
liens like men, and arc thus beginning
anew with fair records and improved
credit. We trust that there arc but
few exceptions to the remark, and
commend the example to the imitation
of all, both white and colored. 1t is
a stern necessity which forces many
to 60 into debt, but nothing will ex-
cuse one, who knowingly contractsob-
legations which he has no means OF
discharging. He is little better than
q felon. A regard to plightcd faith
is one of the first elements of true
manhood.

and money is as plentiful now, as VIC
may expect it soon to be. TO each
one the amount Of Indebtedness is
small, but to rs the aggregate is quite
considerable. Come and settle!
