The petitions for tho elections upon
the subject of subscribing to the capital
stock of the Savannah Valley railroad
in the Townships in Abbeville County
have been presented, and the elections
ordered in that County to como off about

and the work upon this important under.
taking will 10 resumed at an early day.

sing satisfactorily, and it is expected to
have the election ordered soon. Some Of
our people have been little slow about
signing the petitions, but as they under.
stand the matter bsttsT, the proposition
for an additional subscription meets with
great appreciation. The additional
amount asked for is mere trifle com.
pared to the great benefits to be derived
from this road. Spartanburg, Greenyille,
Laurens and other Counties have SUBJ
scribed to building new roads, and are
to-day reaping the advantages of their
public spirited enterprise. Our people
ought to evince as much progress al our
neighbors. We have the means of
building up Anderson and the whole
lower portion of the County by expend.
ing small amount OF money. The city
of Anderson has already paid in twelve
thousand dollars. She has subscribed
twenty-five thousand, and viii subscribe
ten thousand additional. We only ask
seven townships to raise together fifteen
thousand dollars, to be paid one.half this
year aud one-half next yssr. AL of the
townships from which contributions are
asked will receive the benefit of the
competition which will be established in
freight transportation, and 1t is no ex-
aggeration to say that the completion of
the Savannah Valley railroad will save

Early Pinks.

The sort that we cultivate at Oak
Hall arc wclI-drcssed young men.
In pursuit of our great mission OF
making young men as charming as
early pinks, we have arranged a set
ofsizes denominated" Gents
which cover the larger youths and
smaller mems sizes. Special pat
terms were prepared for this class of
stock, and into it we introduce all
possible style Of cut, material and
make. The prices range from $50
to $500. Elsewhere in our stock
are choice materials beautifully
made, but nowhere else in Oak
Hail is there such a concentration
OF superiority. The generation of
men for whom these goods were
made cannot recall the time when
there was no Oak Hall in Philadel-
phia, q And yet there is no proof of
the perennial youth Of Oak Hall
equal to that which is found III this
particular stock.

Crow

The screech ofthe stately rooster,
the bright face of the early spring
flower, both help our little story.
DO we crow? Yes. Do we bloom
Yes. Crow because we bloom, and
bloom because we crow. Oak Hall
blooms out with stock that makes
the old counters groan, and the cid
walls burst, and the older statesmen
wonder, and the wooden dealers
wink. And we do crow because it
has been bought cheaply and made
well. And it is to be sold quickly
because cheap. Four great varie-
ties in Spring Suit Stock-Men's,
Youths, Large Boys, Small Boys,
and between these several lines
there are over four hundred sorts.
They go from $3.50 to $1,000 for
Mems, from $500 to $4,000 for
Youths, $500 to $500 for Large
Boys, from $500 to $1,000 for
Small Boys. Variety enough, eh!

A Spring Opening.

We have none. No chance for
it. If we would keep our choice
things put away until given time,
and then offer them to the public
ali at once, we should be foiled, for
people come in the winter when the
frost is in the air, and snow and ice
hold the earth in bondage, while our
preparations are just forming for
the spring campaign, and demand
the new goods. Itwould be ungra-
cious to refuse; and SO, perlorce, we
cannot have a Spring Opening.
But we can open with spring, and
as we write, while hardly a bursting
bud is to be seen upon the trees,
the spring trade is springing on us
with refreshing rush. Times dull,
you say? Not to the bold dealer
that takes no counsel Of fear. And
Oak Hall is just such. Already the
opening spring tells Of abundant
sales just ahead.

Don't YOU remember the old Spanish
proverb2 that all things come to those
who know how to wait Only have
little patience, aunty. There IS Goth
ing in all the world 50 easy to catch
As 4 heart in the rebound.
And in the meantime, swec; Myrtle
Nennor secretly deyoured her own heart,
and wondered why Hugh kepPel never
came to the Grange.
Can it he that he has forgotten
me- she asked of herself. "Attcr all
that he ias looked and spokcn-after
the flowers he gave me, and the little,
old fashioned ring, with the black pearl,
that he paced on NY finger? DO mems
hearts change in such tickle fashion
as that"
Myrtle Nennor was rs unlike Alice
Amadine as sweet English rose Is I'M
like vivid cactus bloom.
She was fair and delicate, with Il com
plexion like pink and pearl and blue,
deep eyes, full OF wistful, appealing
light And her nature, too, was dissim-
liar to that of the willy brunette.
1t was, therefore, her first impulse to
go to Hugh Keppel and ask him what
dark shadow had come between them.
But Myrtle had all 4 womans pride.
and so she kept within her own heart
the secret of her grief.
And Alice Amadine was we'll pleased
at the success of her subtle scheme,
feeling, as she did, that Hugh was drift
ing slowly and aimlessly into her tolls.
why should I not?" he asked HIM
self. "One woman will be very much
the same to me as another, now that |
have lost confidence in Myrtle. My
mother is fond of Alice, and | think
Alice will not be unwilling TO be the
mistress Of Keppel Towers"
And he made up his mind, one chill,
bright day, when the hard frozen snow
cleaned white in the valleys, and the
hemlocks were weighed down with
feathcry fringes of pearl, to settle the
matter definitely that selfsame evening.
1T will make my mother happy" he
thought. "And as for myself, what
avails it,"
Yet nevertheless pang came through
his breast as he stood there, under the
shadow Of the giant forest oaks, where,
last year. he and Myrtle had gathered
mistletoe to adorn the great saloon at
Nennor Grange.

How Watch Cases are Made.

1t is fact not generally known that the
James Boss Gold Watch Gases really con-
tain more pure gold than many "solid"
gold cases The demand for these watch
cases has led to the manufacture of very
poor grade of solid gold watch cases
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from 4s to 10 karats,
and or karat case is often sold for II
or IA karats. 1t is NOT economy to buy
watch case SO poor in quality that it will
soon lose its color, or one so soft that it will
lose its shape and fail to shut tight thus
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one so thin that slight blow will break
the crystal, and perhaps the movement.
1t Is economy to buy James Boss Gold
Watch Case, in which NONE of these things
ever occur. This watch case is mot an erpert-
ment-it has been made nearly thirty gears.
