ed in one of the departments at Washing
ton for the last four years, has located
here for the practice of law. Colonel
Farrow is well-known in this section and
will doubtless succeed.
We have had another small Jail deliv-
cry since my last letter. One of the pris'
oners, in one of the steel cells, priced an
iron bar out of his bunk, wrenched the
lock off his cell, and liberated two othol
prisoners who were confined with him.
Only one of the prisoners was county
prisoner. The others were committed oy
the mayor for offences against the town.
Sheriff Ross has one solitary prisoner
for court now, and has arranged for one
of his deputies to sleep in the room ad'
joining the cells, so that hereafter they
will not be 50 apt to escape.
The county board adjourned without
selecting a site for the courthouse. Since
writing you I have conversed with q
number of representative citizens from
the country, and they are unanimous'lp
the opinion that it should be- located
near the centre of the town as practl-
cable.
The Gaffney Light infantry is making
good progress in drilling, and there is no
reason why it should not become the ban
ner company of the state. The equip
ments have not arrived yet, although
they are daily expected.
Messrs. Feagle & Price, of Greenville,
have opened an elegant stock of furni.
ture in our town, and Mr.. D. r. Bird, OF
Clifton, has opened large stock of dry
goods and notions. These stores are both
a credit to our town and will add 10 us
importance. VERlFAs.

of the confidence a customer reposes in
me, nor do believe that business built
upon avarice, or misrepresentation can be
put upon lasting foundation.

TT IS long since that everybody has
l. known that J. II: RIDDLE sells the
very best quality of Family and Fancy
Groceries at the very lowest bottom prices,

cannot undersell him and stay in business.
CLAY PEAS.
Att. n. RIDDLES you can find linn
tied supply of Clay Peas, and he would
suggest to parties wanting them to lay in
their supply now, for later in the season
there is always scarcity which affects
the price.

Heretofore J. H. RIDDLE has kept

constant demand he has been forced to
add to his building material large guam

future you can expect to always find at
his place, and when contractors or large
buyers need any Of these articles, they may
expect special prices.
Fruit Jars and HarrOws.
Possibly Fruit Jars and Cotton Har-
rows should not be put in the same classi-
fication; but since the rains have come
you will need the harrows, and when the
fruit comes you will need the Jars, and
j. H. RIDDLE has them at bottom prices.
