The store being erected by our enterpriS-
ing merchant, Ar. S. 4. Rigbv, and to be
occupied by Mrs. Brown as a millinery and
mantuamaking establishment, is nearing
completion, and will be opened about the
middle of this month Mrs. Brown will
keep besides millinery a full line of ladies
dress goods, trimmings, &c, and rs she is q
lady of rare taste, and experienced in select
ing such goods, the public may rest assured
they will be pie sSed with her stock. Sev.
eT,l competent dress makers have been en-.
gagged to assist heS, and ladies will find it
to their advantage to give their orders at ar
early date This is something Manning
has long needed, and we wish The new store
much success.
We were much pleased recently with ou.
visit to the fashionable and exquisitely ar
ranged store of Dir. ". Levi. We were
shown through his establishment by one
of his polite and efficient clerks. Our space
will not admit of caroRicling near all we
saw, but we will notice few important al
ticles which we are sure will be interesting
to the ladies'. Our attention was particr-
larly directed to their beautiful line Of Toile
du Nord ginghalnS which are woven in hair
stripes, invisible checks, and are used In
combination suits with plain glngham to
match. Their Seersuchers, mullS, and lawns,
etc, are the newest styles and are offered
very low. It is impossible to place their line
of laces and embroiderieS so that they will
all be seen, but We assure all that their stock
of torchon, oriental, Egyptian, and silk
laces, swiss and null eInbroideries, is COM
plete. We are sare the ladies who have
not seen their elegant hand embroidered
cashmere scarfs have missed a treat. They
are in black, white. and all colc-.;, and are
selling rapidly. Miles and Gi56s's import
ed rndressed kid gloves are beauties, and
are in all sizes. Handkerchiefs, both p.:.in
and embroidered. are as cheap as can be
bought in Charleston. We will have to
stop here, but We will say to the ladies.
Just give Mr.. Levi a call, and one OF his
clerks, or perhaps the obliging proprietor
himself, will take great pleasure in Show
ing you their new goods Of which we have
only mentioned a few.
