The upper part of the the store will
be devoted to carpets, furniture, cloth

groceries, hardware, queensware and
wOOdenware. There will be seven
separate counters in tile lower depart

will be waiting room for lady custO-
mers from the country, where they
may leave bundles and go about town.
The management will be under such
system rs is in vogue in the city.
AS confirmed by the success of
Messrs. Treat & Co., in their store at
Georgetown it is shown that people
do not want to go to the cities, but pre-
fer to buy at home. Customers can no
longer be regarded as sure patrons un-
less you constantly give them induce
ments 10 buy goods as well here as
they can in the cities. The local press |
is but a counter for the use of the
country merchant as freely as it is
used by the city dealer, and without
its use for the display of goods, buyers
will uOt waste time in hunting over
dusty shelves but will go where lit is
not too much trouble to show goods"

\ BIG Yesterday was
Little Thursday at Slaughter Beach,
and the crowd that assembled for their
annual salt water washing was i'm
mense. Next Thursday, August 16,
will be "Big Thursday" and the sight
will be novel one, to those who have
never been present on one of these Oc-
casions. On Wednesday morning
many large wagons will be seen pass
ing towards the beach, covered with
canvass, bed quilts and a dozen other
kinds Ofarticles and materials. These
will camp on the sand at the waters
edge, and they generally contain the
entire family of some farmer who lives
many miles away from the sea. They
cook the fish, clans. crabs and oysters
caught and picked up in countless
numbers, over wood fires, built upon
the sand, and sleep at night under
cover of their wagon. Probably five
hundred wagons and carts of this kind
will cover the beach for a mile in front
of the hotel, and as many more car
riages from points nearer will visit the
beach during the day. Quaint dam
cling, known in this locality as 'setting
tor will occupy a greater part of the
day. A ''set tOn is about as follows:
a Fiddler" scrapes out a tune com
posed of one bar of music, generally a
tune called 1.-The DEVILS Dream and |
in front of him on board or sapded |
floor, two men, or bOys,and not unfre- |
quently two women, will shuttle for
two or three minutes, when, at a signal |
harsh scrape Ofthe bow over
the strings of the violin, the two dane
ers change places and go over the same
shuttle. This is continued until ex-
haustiOn or thirst cOmpells them to
stop. To those who have "been thar
we have no advice to give; but to those
who never were present on big
at Slaughter Beach, we
advise them to be present.

The St. Louis Globe Democrat of
of last Thursday states that promi-
nent parties in Texas are about to
bring suit 10 the court of claims at
Washington to recover the value of
slaves emancipated during the late
war. This gigantic "rebel claim
is based on some alleged guaran-
tees for the protection of slave pro-
perty made when Texas was admit.
ted into the Union. The aggregate
of this claim will run up into the
hundreds of millions, and, it is
stated, will be pressed by some of
the best legal talent in Texas. The
North is not quite ready to assume
the rebel debt and pay for the slaves
emancipated by President Lincoln,
and these sort of claims will only
tend to solidify the North for the
contest in 1884.
