Lowndesville is small but thrifty
town. Our merchants are quite po-
lite and always accommodating, and
a finer class of young men as clerks
and bOok-keepers you could hardly
find anywhere.
Messrs. n. Baker & Son are doing
business in their elegant brick store
on Main Street, and are prepared to
dispatch business with care and rapid

Messrs. Sherard & Leroy occupy q

worthy and energetic young men, and
are doing a good business between T.
Baker d Son and Sherard G. Leroy.
Messrs. Allen & Cooley do business
in their large brick building near the

The above firms all carry large as
sortment of general merchandise, ano

chance to trade with you once, you
will come again. They are all polite
and accommodating.
Next to II. Baker g. Son on Main

Extracts from LowndesVille Advertiser
To the Public.

Every enterprise must have a be-
ginning. Nothing Of lasting success
develops within the compass of an
hour.
However worthy an enterprise may
be within itself, or successful its oper'
ations in the hereafter, it must have a
starting point. Great cities were once
little hamlets; men of renown were
once lads of obscurity, and the great
questions of to-day which play upon
every of political social and religion.
life, were once but hidden thoughts in
u few individual minds. We, IN Il
modified sense, judge of the future BY
the past and the present. AS it once
was, and is now, so it is likely TO be.
To-day we present to the pub
lie the first issue of our paper,
7ne Lu'cndesOWe Advcriiscr. Let
us not despise the day of small
things. This is the birthday OF
a little paper, born into the world ol
journalism, which like every other
enterprise, has its possibilities, it,
hopes, and its fears. 1t may bud and
die in its blooming, as a tender child
in its mothers arms; or it may grow
and develop, until with hoary head ii
NAV come to its close, as the life of a
ripe old man who has faithfully served
his day and generation, and only
leaves the stage of action to give place
to another better prepared to BATTLE
with the advanced difficulties of the
day.
We know not the possibilities or the
probabilities of this new life, born to-
day in the thriving little town Of
Lowndcsville. but we commend it to
the public, believing that. likeall pub
lie enterprises, its future depends
largely upon the endorsement and
support of its friends, for aphom its
mission is designed.
The motto Of this paper shall be
truth its aim shall be To promote the
best interest of our town and commun-
ity and the length of its life shall be
determined by the accomplishment Of
its mission. 1t stands independent.
and shall live independent, and shall
die if it ever does independent,
Without ever harming friend or foe.
Politically, it shall defend what it
conceives to be right ; socially, it will
endeavor to give to its readers that
whicl, is pure and chaste; and reli-
giously, it shall be US free from creeds
as the eagle is to navigate the illimit-
able eXpanse Of the ethereal heavens.
It shall know no man, no party, no
creed.
1t shall be limited in its news, to be
sure, as it will in its plans and circu
lation, but it shall operate upon the
plane to be and do everything it can
to promote the best interests Of its
whenever opportunity is
Offered. 1t will be no rival of the Nc1r
York Ucruid, but it will strive to
excel itself, in the limited compass Of
its own existence, and if possible, full
fill the end Of lis own being.
With love for God, and q broad
and generous feeling for all humanity,
the LOmndcSUiNc Advertiser goes forth
to-day upon its first mission of useful
ness, to prove, if possible, a benefit to
all who support it, and well-wisher
for all mankind.

Death of Mr.. Shumate.

His friends In Abbevile will be sorry to

The Town of Lafimer.

This station on our Railroad, one
year ago, was without store. But il
is no longer the case. The firm Of
Taggart & McCallister have now open.
ed up first-class stock of goods, and
being men so well and favorably
known in that surrounding country
they can do nothing but succeed
There is also another firm to be known
as Graves & Calhoun. These names
are familiar to the people of this por.
ton of the county. Mr.. Graves was
born and reared at the place where he
now opens up his business, and the
people of that community will well
come him back to his old home.

What Shall LowndesvilIe BE ?

Lowndesville is q thrifty town, 10
Gated in the extreme. western part o
Abbeville county on the Savan'
nah Valley Railroad. This road was
completed in 1885, and from then un.
til now, there has been general pros
perty both in town and surrounding
country. Lowndesville has much to
be proud Of. She has three churches,
Baptist, Methodist, and Presbyterian,
all Of which are good buildings. The
surrounding country is as fine a Sec
ton as upper Carolina affords, and as
it is twenty-five miles from Anderson
and twenty miles from Abbeville, and
as our business men can compete in
prices with the merchants in our sis
ter towns, blessed as they are with
equal advantages, there can be no rea-
son why that section of country which
rightly belongs to her. should not be-
come thoroughly identified with her
Mutual consent at This point will be
a mutual benefit, and will result in
value to both. If the town improves
and becomes a place of thrift and
trade, giving to the country q good
market, then all enhancement IN value
will be common benefit.
1t is beyond question, to the interest
of the town and country to become
thoroughly identified in their busi-
ness and to mutually cooperate with
each other. Our country and town
thus controlled can and will develop
rs they cannot otherwise. Let our
business men and farmers get close to-
gether, and agree, that they have a
common interest, and that they IN
common will defend it.
1t is for our people to determine the
extent and rapidity of their prosper
ity.
Broad and generous views, with bus
iness conducted upon business prin-
ciples, will bring it.
Let us see to it that it shall be so.
