A Free Show.

Columbia will soon throw wide
open her hospitable gates to give q
hearty welcome to her invited guests
who will assemble from every nook
and corner of the State. Many Of
those who will visit Columbia during
Fair week will doubtless combine
business with pleasure, and while en-
joying the festivities Of the occasion
will be on the lookout for bargains
in dry goods, clothing, boots, shoes,
and hats, and for the information of
those who want to get the most goods
for the least money Mr.. J. L. MINI
naugh, of the firm of Mimnaugh &
Co., authorizes US to extend to the
thousands of readers of the Dispatch
a cordial invitation to visit his NAM
moth establishment, guaranteeing
them hearty welcome, fair dealing
and polite attention. =:
Of the many attractions provided
for the entertainment Of visitors to
The Fair none can surpass the gor-
geous and brilliant display Of genu-
inc bargains prepared by Mimnaugh
for the benefit the rich and poor who
have family to provide for and in
doing so want to receive the value OF
their money. 1t may be we'll to state
right here, so that there might be
no misunderstanding, that Mr.. MINI
naugh does not sell goods with the
view of it being the last pur-
chase of the customer, but his object
is to secure and retain a customer
by dealing with him fairly and hon
estly, therefore instead Of doing as
some merchants in other cities on
like occasions, run up the price of
goods, he has marked them down to
the lowest possible notch.
In the cloak and jacket depart
ment will be exhibited one of largest
and handsomest lines ever brought
to the city, embracing many new and
beautiful styles and at prices that
will interest every body. No use for
your poor, hard working and faithful
wife to go though the chilling winds
of winter to attend church when so
little money will get such handsome
covering.
The verdict of the public is that
Mimnaugh has one of the finest dry
goods departments in the South. Low
prices is the keynote Of his success
and he intends keeping the Key note
by continuing to sell at rock bottom
prices.
All of the other departments are
packed and jammed with beautiful
goods at rare bargains. The largest
as we'll as the smallest bill can be
filled at the shortest notice.
Country merchants will save time
money by purchasing their stock at
Mimnaugh's. They are large whole
sale dealers and are prepared to sell
as cheap as the merchants Of any
other city.

Verdict Reduced.

At the last term of the court of
Common Pleas the case of Jesse
Spires vs.. The South Bound Rail,
road, in which the plaintiff sued the
defendant for damages sustained by
being knocked of the railroad at
Sightler's crossing by an engine, was
tried and the plaintiff was given $500
by the jury. The company made a
motion for a new trial alleging that
the verdict was excessive. Judge
Buchanan has filed his decree re-
ducing the damages to $500. We
understand that the company is will
ing to pay this amount.

The CORNER Stone LAID
A Beautiful and Impressive Cere-
mony at st. Stephens.

A Beautiful and Impressive Cere-
mony at st. Stephens.
The corner stone of the new, beau
tiful and handsome st. Stephens
church was laid yesterday, Tuesday,
October 9th, 1896, with the impres-
sive and solemn Lutheran service.
In making this announcement it
is, proper to brihy review the
heroic struggles of noble band of
Christian women upon whose should
ers was rolled the heavy burden OF
providing suitable house in which
to entertain "The King of kings and
The Lord of lords" and to worship
their God in his own tabernacle. In
doing so we shall not conine our
selves to correct and detailed his
tory of the Society through whose
efforts the Lutherans are to have a
building which will not only be an
ornament to our town but credit
to the denomination and an endur-
ing monument to the zeal, faithful
ness and devotion of women to the
cause Of their Savior. This work
has been placed in abler hands and
when finished will appear in these
columns.
Feeling the need Of more comfort
able and commodious quarters in
which to pay their public devotion
to him who while upon earth had for
tabernacle the pure air and the
blue vault of heaven for q canopy,
but who now sits upon a throne OF
glory so brilliant and dazzling that
humans cannot look upon it and live,
some of the women connected with
the church formed themselves into
what is known as the "Woman's Aid
Society of st. Stephens church" hav-
ing for it's object the building OF new
church, and to this end they have un-
tiringly and unselfshingly labored un-
til yesterday, in the language OF the
brilliant, eloquent and beloved pas
tor, '.It has cost years Of prayer, toll
and sacrifice to reach his occasion of
rejoicing" But yesterdays rejoicing,
as great as it was, will be as nothing
compared with the great overaowing
thankfulness, praise and rejoicing
which will we'll from the hearts of
these women when they behold their
labor of years brought to a success
ful completion.
The old church, in which part Of
the services we're held, was very taste
fully and beautifully decorated with
lovely and fragrant flowers and ever
greens in rich profusions. The build
ing was crowded to it's utmost capa-
city, many persons being unable to
to get inside of the building. The
services were solemn, impressive and
beautiful, and one could not but feel
and realize that the approving favor
an eternal and everlasting God and
the benediction of a gentle and low
ing Savior rested upon the occasion
as the songs of praises raised upon
earth was caught up by listening an
gelic hosts and borne to the foot of
the throne. The singing was unusu-
ally fine and everything passed off
with that promptness and precision
attained only through careful train
ing and practice.
The sermon delivered by DIR. E. A.
Wingard, of Columbia, was deep in
thought, beautiful in construction,
eloquent in exprassion and appropri-
ate in application; from beginning to
end ringing with precious truths en-
