Since the RACKET began there has not been
as great bargain sold as our present sale OF
Embroideries. One counter at 5, one at 10 and
one at 25 cents. Any amount of fine Skirtings,
in the 25 cent lot, worth one dollar per yard.
Elegant so and rs cent Goods on the 10 cent
counter And the cent counter caps the
climax. OF course its demoraliziog to the EN-
broidery trade, and many Ladies said the town,
would not get up to the regular price on these
Goods again in one year toicome.
Well these will all go at the price named, and
the safe way is to come at once. $4,000 yards in
the three lots, and you can buy So in regular
value for one dollar. We bought great bargain
and We give it to you as we bought it. We are
using this just as we shall use the great pur-
chase of Mems Suits, one small profit and stop.
This great stock of Suits will be offered on
Monday nekt. The Bills and the Stock all in
now, and we find the net number of Suits to be
2209, and if we had to get regular prices for
these Suits we could not sell them in a year, but
this Clothing purchase is the largest and best
purchase we ever made, it is the greatest bargain
we ever owned, and we shall retail it for less
than the manufacturers got for it at wholesale.
The line is elegant, can fit you perfectly, and
will save you 80 per cent on the cost of Suit.
TO men wanting nice business Suit we want to
call especial notice to the $490, $3.50 and $3.50
lines You say "Oh want a 10 to 20 dollar
Suit" Well we give it to you out of these lots.
The Suits will be the same, but the difference is
| in the price. There isn't an old Suit in all the
line, not even last years Suit but every gar
ment is new and comes direct from the makers
| to us.
| Now if because we see fit to slaughter this
great stock and sell 1t as we bought it, some one
to keep you away from good bargain, cries out
Old stock shoddy goods" Its very old but
familiar cry. You just tell them to cry on you
can't afford to miss the best values you ever
bought in your life, simply because somebody
else didn't buy as cheap as we did and cannot
sell as cheap. We give you fair notice now.
We are able and fully determined to make this
the greatest Clothing Sale in the history of Char
lotte, and we shall do it.

requests the DEMOCRAT to publish the fol-
lowing:
There is to be held, at the city of Ra
leigh, on Wednesday, October 81, con
vention of the Northern, Eastern and
Western settlers in the State of North
Carolina, together with all others who
have immigrated to the South. 1t is very
desirable these settlers shall be united in
their purpose of promoting the progress
and development of the country. To this
end preliminary convention was held in
May, to appoint time for convention
in the fall. All, Northern men who have
settled in North Carolina or any other
Southern State, are cordially invited to be
present at this meeting
A report has gone out that the North
ern Settlers Convention is to convene on
October 5th. It has been necessary to
change the date in order to accommodate
as large a number as possible Many
settlers can't attend on an earlier date,
because of the harvesting Of crops.
The time for holding the convention is
therefore changed from the 9th to 21st of
October, 1891, and will take place in the
Exposition building.
Any who desire to attend will learn
particulars by addressing communications
