it difficult to determine who to patronlze
especially when they find it necessary to or
der their goods instead Of selecting then
themselves. In that case they must consid
er the reliability of the house they trust tc
make selections for them, which is best rec
oned by its age, success, and reputation
with the substantial citizens. Our parents
and grand parents have been buying clothes
from D. J. Wlnn in Sumter for the last for
ty years and We never heard one complain
yet Of what they bought or the manner IN
which they were treated. A business that
has been running that long without com
promising, assigning or bankrupting is toe
well known to be advertised, nevertheless
in order to adapt himself to the changes
just as he sdapts his large and
fresh stock of clothing to the fashions, D.
J. Vim speaks through this issue Of the
TINES to his hosts of friends in Clarendon
See his advertisement.

Last fall the farmers of our county who
dealt in Sumter were looking over the
TINES for the names of the houses with
which they could deal to the most advan-
tage. Among them they saw the adver,
tisement of Messrs. ODonnell s Co., who
carry tremendous stock Of everything in
the general merchandise line filing the
old ). 7. solomon stand from cellar to
dome. Many Of them answered the call OF
this popular firm, and when We looked in
and saw the number Of people from Clar-
endon selling their cotton and making their
purchases there last week in Sumter, we
felt quite certain that they were satisfied
and actually saving money by dealing with
the king merchants of that city, Messrs
ODonnell & Co. See their advertisement IN
this issue and hear what we'll have to say
concerning you and them hereafter.
The taxes collected from the farmers OF
