E. c. HORTON.
The attractively arranged windows 6 +:
c. Horton store causes many to stop a.;0
enter to take a look at what there IS on tue
inside. This season Mr.. Horton started III
to give his competitors tuSSle tor the dry
goods trade and the first step IN taat dlrec'
ton WAS to secure the services OF trSt-
class dress maker TO assist hlm Ia selecting
bis stock and to get all the nect Nary ;r'n-
nlngs As consequence lie has no% TIE
finest assortment of ladies' dress goois he
has ever carried and each piece OF goods
has the very latest styles OF trimmings to
match This fall stock has 6-en selected
with more than usual care. lie las a large
line of gents clothing and hats and his
shoe department was never in better shape
before Horton means business as Is evil
dent from the way he is continuing to ad /
to his stock. The ladies are looked after
especially by Misses Blanche Wells and
Alice Harvin, two experienced Sa:eSiadleS
who are we'll known. Everything IN the dry
goods, clothing and shoe line can be had
at Horizons.
W. Z JESKISsoS.
In looking around at the stores we were
forciblv struck with the spirit of activity IN
Jenkinson's store; on every side the clerks
were busy and the proprietor could not
find time to ask Us to smoke, so we walked
down to the millinery department and
thers we saw one of the haudSomeSt lines
of flowers. ribbons, feathers and trimmed
and untrimmed hats we have seen ID many
day. The ladies engaged IN this depart
ment were busy trimming tor customers
in waiting and we could not but help ad-
mire the taste displayed. This department
is presided over by Miss Laura beckna:n.
who has recently returned from the North
where she had spent several mouths select
ing the stock of millinery and ncquaintn9
herself with all the latest styles: JenMn-
sons store is filled from front to back WITH
everything in the genera! mercantile !ihe
and there is no merchant IN South larohhH
who more thoroughly understands his
business and is more willing to run uP
against com petition. Look at toe way Jen-
kinson advertises; that is convincing proof
that he courts competition and whenever
the public finds man who is not afraid OF
his competitors they love to encourage him.
Jenkinson is the founder Of competition;
it was him who on opening in Manning,
pulled ont red flag and laughingly waved
It n the face of the competition bull. 1t IS
not necessary for US to enumerate his stock,
for his advertisements tell the story.
W. c. CHANDLER.
Housekeepers. both present and prospec-
tive, your attention is called to the furni-
ture stock of W. C. Chandler. This store
has caught the get and get spirit and has
put in nice stock of furniture. Parlor,
bed and dining room sets can be bought at
Chambers as cheap as they can be bought
anywhere. The writer, after pricing IN
Charleston and Sumter, bought furniture
from Chandler, not because il was patroniz-
ing home, alone, but because he saved
money. If you want anything in this line
do not fail to give Chandler a show and
you can feel assured that no goods will be
misrepresented.
