w. "A Chapman's stable on fire. The
wind was blowing considerably, and 1t
was with some difficulty the fire was con-
trolled. The stable together with the

was unquestionably the work of incendia-
rism. This is the third stable that has
been set on fire in this immediate vicini-
ty-Mrs. Keese's, Mr.. Seel's and now Mr..
Chapman's. Also, We might mention Mr..
vanWyck's store, which is in the same
neighborhood. This is the work of a fend,
who deserves severe punishment. Let

We desire to call the attention of the
people of Anderson and surrounding
country to the fact that there is no occasion
to send off for any thing needed when We
have such well appointed establishments
in the city from which they can person
ally make their own selections. These
establishments are owned and conducted
by our neighbors, and the proprietors
have the right to expect that those wish
ing to purchase will at least make an in-
spection of their goods. Every dollar
sent to Dennlng, ONeil or any Northern
dealer is just that much business taken
from home, and every dollar spent here
will help to build up the place. We have
frst-class business houses right here, and
that '.love of a bonnet" or Charming
Dress" or ''suit of Clothes" or "daisy
tie" can be procured here just as well as
anywhere else. Patronize home enter
prises, for in building them up you build
up the community in which your hus-
bands, sons and perhaps sweethearts are
striving to earn for you the comforts of o
happy home. Read the advertisements
of the merchants in the columns of this
