Next Thursday, November 2sth, is
Thanksgiving Day. We presume
there will be religious services, and
that the stores will close from 1l.3O to
$50. This will give the merchants
and their clerks time to attend rellg-
ious services and to eat their Thanks
giving turkey with their families. By
all means close the stores for that
length OF time.

best quality, lowest price, for sale at DIM

Mr.. T. c. Owens brought US last
Monday two rutabaga turnips that
weighed eight pounds. They were
very fine. Nh. Owens made them on
a piece of new ground. Three four
barrels of such turnips could be sold
in this town every week at from FIVE
to ten cents turnip. There is money
in all such. Why do not our farmers
take advantage Of shese fine opportu-
mites for making money?

DIR. ". II. Brockinton took the
second prize on his single draught
horse, at the State fair. His horse
got nail in his foot, after getting to
Columbia, which disabled him for two
DAYS, and he limped little in driv-
ing. Had it not been for this DR..
Brockinton would probably have taken
irst prize. Had Messrs. David and
Mitch Levi and Mr.. Jack Weeks also
had their fine sssteppers" there Clar-
endon would probably have AIKEN all
the prizes for fine driving horses.
MIR. j. NJ. Richardson took prize
on his fine stallion, "Willie Burke"

mink at N. kalisky's.
Mr.. W. K. Bell proposes to supply
the people Of Clarendon with wagons,
if they will buy from him. He
painted the town red yesterday, haul
ing them from the depot. It was al
most as good as a circus, to see the
long line of wagons attached to each
other, as they were brought up from
the depot. One two-horse team had
about a dozen wagons in tow, and
several trips were made. Mr.. Bell
says, in his advertisement, that he will
sell cheap, cheaper than ever before,
and says he means it too. We will
whisper word here, that he wants
the money for these wagons, and will
be satisfied with very small margin
for his profit.
Be sure to visit Hoses Lewis store, and get
his low prices and you will do Your trading
there. He sells remarkably cheap for cash
The people of Manning are now
buying chickens and eggs from North
Carolina, or wherever they can get
them. This market alone, the town
OF Manning, will easily take 10000 to
$4,000 fowls and 100000 eggs. There
certainly ought to be money in raising
fowls, and if the farmers would only
devote a small part of their time to
this industry, it would pay handsome
ly. The wives and daughters of our
farmers could easily raise two or three
hundred fowls without extra trouble,
and realize $50 or SIS thereby. Is
there not food for thought in this par
aeraph. P. S. The editor of this
paper would like to buy two OF three
dozen chickens any size, and eight or
ten dozen eggs. He wishes some food
