E. W. Brown g. Sons big establishment
is crowded with goods, and if you need
in the dry goods or grocery line,
we advise you to go to see them at once.
Many things are being offered now at
greatly reduced prices. and it will pay
you to inspect their stock. This is one of
Anderson's best firms, and they guarantee
satisfaction to every purchaser. Look
out for their new advertisement next

We regret that Anderson County was
not also given an extension OF time IN
paying taxes. Usually we would not favor
the extension, but just now the price OF
cotton is SO low that many people do not
want to. sell yet, and cannot pay their taxes
without selling their cotton or borrowing
the money. This is one year we would
favor it. If the rest of the State has it, let
Anderson have it, too.
