DEAR SlR:-The writer has just had
his attention drawn to your commuuca.
ton touching on the"Waters' Nail Keg."
They we're laid aside for special enquiry;
and got mislaid,
The sample kegs sent us from Grand
Rapids we're good in every respect being
the strongest key I've ever tried. No
amount forl'nary usage, nor a good deal
of abuse could render them unfit for ser.
viice. The parties who builta Keg Fac
tory here attempted, it seems to the wri-
ter, to reduce the cost of making. Their
kegs did not prove satisfactory and were
complained ofnot only by our workmen
but our customers. They made the in.
side stats to come up only to the head,
not through It consequently there was no
support for the chime and it was easily
broken off. They are arranging to make
them just like the Grand Rapid sample,
We hare. full fMM IL the keg ehen prop.
cry made.
Yours truly,
DEWEY, VANCE & Co.

Trust what Time has Sanctioned.

The maxim that the voice of the people is the
voice of the divinity, may in some cases, be
open to doubt, but the testimony of honest and
enlightened witnesses extending through se-'
ries of years, and all to the same purport, is
worthy of credence, admits of no question:
Upon such testimony the reputation of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters as an antidote and cure
for many ailments is based. During the twenty
years that it has been before the world, innu-
merable preparations intended to compete with
it, have gone up like rockets, and come down
the extinguished sticks. Meanwhile the prog
ress of that incompatible tonic has been swift
and steady-always upward and onward, like
the eagles flight. Its introduction produces q
revolution in therapeutics, and it proved to be
one of those salutary revolutions that cannot go
backwards. To-day Hostetters Bitters is one
of the most popular remedies IN christendomy
and commands larger sale than any other
medicinal preparation, domestic or imported,
on this side of the Atlantic. AS cure for dys-
pepsia, bilious disorders, nervous affections,
general debility, and as preventive of epidem-
ic feveTs, it takes precedence of every other
remedy. This fact should teach the ambitious
country dealers who endeavor to foist their
local abortions on the public in it's stead, how
futile their small attempts to cajole the COM
munity must necessarily be- Where the ganei
fish have failed there is no chance for the

The AbbeviIle Fair.

The Abbeville Press and Banner says that the
Executive Committee is making due prepara-
tion for the approaching Fair of the Abbeyille
Agricultural Society, which will be held on the
25th, 26th and 9th of October instant, and
will spare no pains to make it a success, alike
creditable and satisfactory to all. A large and
varied premium list has been prepared, COM
mittees have been appointed, and nothing will
be wanting to stimulate competition and TO re-
ward it. An arrangement has been made with
the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, which
is equivalent to free transportation for all arti-
cles intended for exhibition. Many of the An
derson people will doubtless attend the Fair OF
our neighboring County, which comes off the
week before our own Exhibition, and in return
We expect to meet many of the Abbeville pco-
pie at this place. When both County Fairs
are ended, all parties can unite in attendance
upon the State Fair and send their premium
articles to compete with other parts Of the State.
