Neither de we have one price to of fer fer and another to sell by as in the case of the Shoninger Piano offered for $15O by J.M. Kellogg who. when the sum was rendered him refused it on the plea that some one in the country had promised to look at it ia the future Shoninger Pianos being iR such demand, and his supply lin- ited with poor chances of duplication, we sug- gest, may have been the reason; although the fact remains that one minute it was for sale and the next it was not The public left to judge of the business integrity of such dealings Lastly we manage our own business honestly, fairly and le- ultimately pay dollar for dollar promptly; fur nish our own Bank Vaults for Leases taken from lnstallment Customers without the aid of Sher. ifs to collect on the same. Thirty years standing before the people as Company, is sufficient guarantee of our stability. Those Shoninger New Style Upright Planes elegant in design and finish We make them and get the price way down. Warrant them first-class.

The Best Time to Buy Valuables.

This is the dull season OF the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes-but it Doesn't go far. The purchasing
power of a dollar now is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade. IL a word, we are now inclined
to give a very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months we have added to our
stock III various ways, new ideas, new con-
ceits, new triclKC and quips in jewelry, and
so on. We've got to keep up, you know,
with the strides of inventive and artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as intimated, we sOtH sell gerry
close to move some of it, This is good
time to renew houScbold articles. Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware,
ornamental goods. For personal use or
adornment we offer line par excellence c.
Ladies' f,ne Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies' Watches, Chaius and
Charms, Gents Watches ana Jeweiry, etc
All of these articles can be bought cheaper
now than when trade gets brisker. Some
body will get married next fall-buy the
presents you intend to give soiC. They
will keep and you will save money.

Oysters.
The season is fairly in, and the molusks are
finding plenty of consumers. Oysters have
boon on the market here ever since Aug. 25,
hut the people who are now the largest con-
sumerS would not touch them until Septem-
Der had been ushered in. There are no
New ork oysters on the market yet, but
orders are out for them and they will
probably be here within the next two
weeks
The supply now comes from Isle of Hope,
Thunderoult and DaufuSkie. principally
from Isle Of Hope. The ruling price now is
20 cents quart, or rs cents a gallon.
Restaurant keepers are using large quaint
ties, and they say that oysters are unusually
fat for this season of the year.
The fish deal rs are shipping from thirty
five to fifty gallo s OF oysters dal Y to points
in the state ard some few, to points iu
South Carolina. This will increase to 200
gallons i'll three weeks.
1--WE will not have large demand for
oysters until the latter part of the month,
said leading restaurant man Yesterday.
People imagine that oysters are unfit for
table use until then and they do not eat them
no matter how badly they MAY want TO.
Oysters are lot as fat now as they are later
on in the season, but their favor is very
little b9tter tnen. and they are not more
palatabla."
Among the oysters from the north are the
East Rivers, Blue Points, Saddle Rocks and
Shewsburys. Large quantities of northern
oysters are shipped to Savannah every sea.
son. A prominent FISHERMAN said thai
nearly as many NV York oysters are con
sumed here as southern oysters. Savan
nah is sad TO consume more oysters than
New York, considering the population of
the two cities.
