All our merchants are very busy
opening their new goods.
The first fresh fish Of the season
was in market this morning.
Manning is improving. The sounc
of the hammer is heard on every
side
The Manning Guards will be in,
spected by Gen. Bonham, Thursday
Sep 26th.
Manning sub-alliance will meet al
old Fellowship church next Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock.
Capt. Bradham will organize sub.

morning, at 10 o'clock.
Messrs. Hall and Hammell will in
a few days open up private telegraph
line from the depot to Lowry's store
Cotton is beginning to come in
briskly, but the crop is nearly two
weeks late. 1t is selling at very good
prices now.
Z. W. Folsom, of Sumter, has one
of the most attractive jewelry stores
in the State. He has very large
stock of everything usually kept in
his line, in fact, he says he has over
bought himself, and he wishes to re-
duce his stock. He will, therefore,
sell anything in his line at the very
lowest figures possible. MIR. Folsom,
too, is reliable, and customers may
rest satisfied that he is honest in what
he says. When in Sumter be sure to
visit his store.
One of the largest, handsomest, and
most attractive stores in Sumter is the
hardware store of R. ". DuRant &
Son, who have just moved from the
old quarters because of want of room.
They now occupy one of the largest
stores in the place, and have their
goods both upstairs and downstairs.
Every thing is neatly and systemat-
ically arranged in the store, and it
presents very attractive appearance.
What all have they got? We could
easier tell you what they haven't got.
Anything and everything having any
resemblance to any class of goods
kept in a hardware store is here.
The firm is an old one, well known to
our people, and deserving of their
patronage. Watch for the change in
their advertisement next week, which
will give you small idea of the diff
ferent goods they keep.
D. NJ. Bradham asks us to say to the pub
lie that he is nov ready for ginning. His
outfit is complete and equal to any in the
county. He will take cotton from the wagon
and put back seed and the bale at his own
expense. He will not allow any competing
gins to undergin him in prices.
Moses Levi, the prince merchant
of this whole section, returned last
week from the North, where he pur-
chased an immense stock of fall and
winter goods. He says he intends to
keep the Clarendon trade, and will
offer such inducements, such low
prices, that he will get the trade. Mr..
Lewis goods are daily coming in by
the carload, his freight bill alone each
day amounting to nearly hundred
dollars. He keeps in stock everything.
Be sure to call early and see his
goods: they will be sold low down.
He is Offering some great bargains,
and will continue to offer bargains
during the season. He says he pro-
poses to sell goods regardless of cost.
But he must have the cash for these
bargains; don't ask him for any credit
on them, as in most cases they will
be sold at actual cost.
It is almost useless for US to waste
space in directing attention to the ad-
7ertisement of Bnltman Bros. They
have been in business so long, and
have done such excellent and SUBJ
stantial work, that the name alone is
a guarantee of the goods. We will,
however, relate true thing about
them. In the year 1867 prominent
gentleman in the Brewington section
had Bultman to make him pair Of
boots These boots lasted that gen.
tleman for seventeen gears, when he
sold them for six dollars, and got
Bultman to make him another pair,
which he is still wearing. The gen.
tleman himself told US, four or five
years ago, about this pair of boots,
and in mentioning it last week to
Mr.. Bultman as a remarkable occur
renee, be did not seem to so consider
it, but took it as matter OF course.
His work cannot be surpassed.
Turnip Seed, at Dinkins & Co.'S.
Sumter is growing, lively, boom
ing, progressive town, full of young
life and energy. One of the best and
most substantial houses of that city is
the firm of Durant & Belitzer, dealers
in furniture. They have just opened
large furniture store, and have it
stocked on the first and second floors
with an immense stock of furniture
ranging from the cheapest to the
most costly. 1t is treat just to walk
through their mammoth establish
ment and see their fine line OF beauti-
full goods. One thing especially will
strike the eye Of the visitor as he en-
ters the store. In one of the front
windows is beautiful rosewood par
lor suit finished in silk plush, one of
the most handsome suits of furni-
ture we ever saw. It is valued at one
hundred dollars, and is to be given
away. Every person who buys fur
niture from the store, to the amount
