We direct attention TO the advertisement of
the Pomona Hill Nurseries, Greensboro n c.,
to be found in another column. Capt. c. T..
Watson is the agent for this county, and will
take pleasure in taking your orders for some OF
these splendid fruit trees. These nurseries arc
too we'll known to the people of our county 10
need any recommendation at our hands.
According to an Act Of the Legislature, passed
in 1878, any person who shall take, kill or sell,
or cause tho same to be done, any 'mockng
bird, nonparcil, swallow, bee bird, red bird,
woodpccker, thrcsh or wrcn," shall DO subject
to penalty Of five dollars or Imprisonment
It is we'll enough that the boys should know this
and not get into scrape
The attention Of the farmers of this county
is directed TO the advertisement of j. B Watson,
offering for sale Lorcniz s. Rittlcr's ammoniated
super phosphate and acid.phosphatc at prices
in cotton and foy cash lower than nrc asked for
any other standard fertilizer. Appended TO the
circular Of this fertilizer we scc testimonials Of
citizens Of Anderson, Greenvillc, Abbcylc and
other counties, attcsing its merits as fertilizer
for both cotton and corn The manufacturers of
this article did not enter into the combination
formed against the farmers md we think they
should be patronizcd Mr.. Watson, the agent,
is we'll known 10 our citizens and has always
been friend TO the farmers.
We direct attention to the advertisement Of
w. G. Erwin. Insurance Agent. Mr.. Erwin
IS the agent Of several Of the most responsible
companies in tho United States, thus emu
bling partec to select their company, where
they have preference. This business of
insnring against fire We regard both wiso and
economical, for the annual expenditure Of a
few dollnrs enables you to sleep soundly,
feeling that if misfortune comes, you will net
lose everything. We had small bnilding
burned in 1874 and we at once insured our
house, and so long rs no con raise the money
wo propose to insure. Whenever our insu
rance runs out, people may know we have
neither money nor crcdis We advise others
to do likewise. Life insurance, as n general
rule. is II humbug, tho rnce always being
whether tho pany or the individual in
surcd viii die first. With fire companies it
is different as tho insurance is annual. and if
n great fire in II city brenks IL company, it
always has reserve fund with which your
policy is transferred to another company.
