sold 700 of the new stamps, his aver
ago sales heretofore being $50. -
j..-Monday was sales-day, but no
property was sold except tract of
a,.nd belonging to Mr.. r Il. Yarbor-
ough, at the suit of Messrs. Shepherd
& McCvcel'y.' The tract contained 492
acres aud.was bid off by Mr.. John r..
fIsifpo, tho consideration being one
hundrcd dollars,
Tho new residence of'Mr. G. NJ.
Chandler, Oh Evans street, is being
rapidly pushed forward, aud will be
completed in a few weeks now. Mr..
Timmons is making preparations to
build en the lot adjoining Mr.. Chan
dler. Evans street bids fair to be one
Of the most attractive and beautiful
portions Of the town.
=. The merchants report good collec-
tioiis to date-as good if. not better
.han last year. 1t is strange, but we
arc told byr gentlemen who can speak
hnthoritatiyoly, that customers pay
more promptly aud arc apparently
more disposed to pay debts in bad
crop year than when the yields arc
large and;:plem.iful. A, phenomenon
we don't propose to explain, for we
can't.
Can man, woman Or child be
found within the corporate limits Of
Winnsboro who noW doubts the pro-
pricty Of having expended the one
thousand dollars upon Congress and
Evans streets? Tho substantial and
splendid condition Of the portions
worked. upon is proof; enough of the
wisdom OF the undertaking, aud should
always boa source OF qualification to
the originators and executors of the
scheme. Winnsboro. Should be proud
of the enterprise and. its. fruits.
v-As t. the siXtvsaw Elliott gin that
we advertised for 'sale as h gin only
usod one season and offered at ninety
dollars, half Of the original cost, we
would sny we were SO informed by
Mr.. +. =. Mobley; therefore it is a
question ofvcracity between Mr.. JIM.
Elliott and Mr.. T.. p. Moblcy. But
we'may have, anyhow, over-cstimated
+hC ELLIOTT GIN, aud we now offer
it at Sevcnty-divc Dollars. We feel
safe in saying that the Pratt or Van
Winkle Gin& will give perfect satisfac-
ton, eren after .fom yeq's'Mse, aud
without any repairs. Call on us fur
either Of the above.
