20 OUR MANY FRIENDS:

We wish to extend to you our sin
cere thanks for the hearty support
you have given US during the past
year, and now ask for continuance
of your patronage.
We have opened up business in
one of the Leonard stores, just across
the street from DR.. Browns drug
store, a little below Rigby's store.
We will only remain here a short
while, as we expect to remove back
to our old stand just as soon as 1t Is
completed, which we trust Will be
ready for us by the first of March:
We have now in stock large line
of farmers supplies, such as flour;
bacon, sugar and coffee, and tul
line of plows and plow stocks OF al
kinds.
There will be only one radical
change in our business, and that Is
we will credit no one and will sell fol
the cash, and for the cash only, or its
equivolent, an6 you know what thus
means: it means that we are going
10 sell goods cheaper than they have
ever been sold before.
We are also pleased to announce
that we have secured the services OF
Mr.. P. B. Mouzon, who has served
the public so long in the store of Mr..
S. A, Rigbv. Mr.. Mouzon asks that
all of his old friends look him up and
give him a portion of the patronage
they have so freely given him IN the
past.
Yours truly,
w F. JFNKINSON.

Some months ago there was great
sensation at Wilmington, n. c., caused
by the seizure by the United States Of

that it was taking arms to the Cuban
insurgents. Though there was no doubt
as to this fact, the case was not proved.
The steamer has ever since laid at a
wharf, and now it is discovered that q
day OF two before Christmas all of the

they were all sent to Cuba.
Governor Evans of South Carolina
has received a communication from w.
O. Shelby, major general commanding
the Missouri division Of the United

proposed exposition to be held in Kansas
City in 1901. The idea of the exposition
is to bring about grand reunion of the
blue and the gray, and ultimately get
congress to erect a magnificent monu-

fact that the war is over, that sectional
ism is no more and which shall COM
memorate the past valor Of the soldiers
