Mr.. NJ. b. Arnstein, of the New York
Cash Store, is determined to let his light
shine as will be seen by referring to his
attractive advertisement in another COL
umn. Despite the cry Of hard times and
the scarcity of money, Mr.. Arnstein has
laid in one of the largest and most attrac-
tive stock of Spring and Summer goods
ever shown in Anderson, and it only re-
quires visit to his store to convince you
of that fact. His advertisement tells you
what lie keeps in stock, and we will only
add that if you visit his establishment
you will he pleased with his style, quail
ity and price of goo DIS. We advise SD
inspection of his goods before purchasing
your Spring and Summer apparel.
"Aiss Laura Johnson, of Milwaukee,
Wis, became so Indignant the other day
on reading letter from her betrothed, in
which he expressed the desire to break
off their engagement, that she tried to
snatch the engagement ring from her fin
ger, but it was so firmly fixed that she
could not remove it. Seeing hatchet
near by, she then deliberately chopped
the finger off and sent it, with the ring
attached, to her faith1ess lover."-Er-
change. That's what we would call
downright pluck. If any of the Ander-
son girls desire to become heroines, let
them follow the above young lady's ex-
ample the next time their bctrothed pro-
poses to break off an engagement. We
would devote column of the INrELL1-
aENcER to describing the act.
Mr.. Theodore DeHon, the efficient and
popular travelling agent of the Ne,cs and
CSarier, paid us visit on last Saturday.
Mr.. DeHon represents paper which is
deservedly popular in this State because
it is in the front of progressive journal
ism in the South, and he always carries
off goodly subscription list from An
derson. This is good time to subscribe
to the Ne,cs and Courier, because the ap-
preaching campaign will render it's col
umns very interesting for the next few
months. The Weekly Ne,cs has just begun
the publication of a series of very inter-
esting articles, entitled sour Women in
the War;" which everybody will enjoy
reading. Such al agent as Mr.. DeHon,
representing such paper as the Ne'Os and
Courier, is bound to be successful iu pro-
curing large subscription lists.
The following is said to be a sure way
of Kidding houses and closets Of that lit
tie pest, the ant: Procure large sponge,
wash it we'll and press it dry, which will
leave the cells quite open; then sprinkle
over it some. white sugar, and place it
where the ants are troublesome. They
will soon collect upon the sponge, and
take up their abode in the cells. 1t is
only necessary to dip the sponge in scald-
ing hot water, which will wash them out
dead. Put on more sugar and set the
trap for now haul. This process will
soon clear the house of every ant" We
hear great deal of complaint Of these
miniature pests; and it was only day
or two ago that we overhesrl several
ladies taking on so about the ants eating
pies, and ''getting into everything so ter
ribly!" They now have the remedy in
their own hands.
The Abbeyille Press and Banner, Of last
week, contained the following notice of
the Young America Cornet Bands recent
visit to that town: "The Young America
Cornet Band, of Anderson, favored this
community with one of their choice con-
certs last Friday night. Mr.. j. w. Trow-
bridge, former citizen of this place, was
in charge, and Miss Pinkind, recently the
accomplished music teacher at this place.,
gave some charming pieces on the piano.
The young gentlemen were neatly ap-
parallel and blew. the incest horns in
America. Their musical talent and skill
was marvellous, and their performances
were greatly enjoyed. These young gen.
tlcmen in age range from eight to four
teen. While their good looks are sufli
cielst to command admiration, their mu-
sical talent is as good as that of the oldest
men in America. We thank all concern
ed for their kindness in coming to see us,
and hope they lost no money by the trip"
The boys say they had delightful trip,
and speak in glowing terms of their treat
ment by the Abbeville folk.
