People frequently send money to
Chicago or Omaha department stores
for goods of which they have no knowl.
edge and not the slightest idea as to their
value. Therefore il they happen to have
hold of the wrong end of the bargain
they are none the wiser. The person
who has an eye to value and knows q
bargain when he sees it will frequently
allow the home merchant to have a
chance at his purchase and a compari.
son Of quality and prices will often
result in the mutual advantage of both
merchant and customer. Much of the
stock handled by these large concerns
is practically worthless. not worth
carrying home and many times totally
unfit for the uses for which it is pre-.
sumed to be intended, Odinarily when
person is the victim of o transaction of
this kind he is done with the firm
and especially if it is foreign concern
and he can get NO redress. A reliable
home merchant will see that his custo,
mer gets value received and his patron
is in position to see that he does receive
full value while if he sends out of towr
he is never assured that mean advant
age will not be taken of him. Their
there is always the thought that money
sent out of town will be of no value I,
deter the far-sighted individual tron
sending away, even though he may
make few cents by the transaction
J If the home merchant is fairly treated
his patrons will receive fair treatmen
and person should hesitate long tim,
and consider the question from many
points before he decides that it woul,
| be policy to trade abroad.

A Second COpIey.

The oil fraternity of Marietta are
feeling c'uch relieved over the infor-
nation contained in a dispatch from L.
d. Shryock, who is at the scene of the
big oil geyser near Beaumont, Texas.
According to Mr.. Shryock's dispatch
the output of the we'll has been great
ly exaggerated. The yield will not eX-
ceed $500 barrels per day, although the
flow is steady. The oil is only 90
specific gravity and will therefore not
affect the market of refined oil to any
appreciable extent. Thousands of bar
rels are daily going to waste, as there
is no provision for taking care of the
immense yield.

arrest. although it is thought the affair
was entirely accidental.

4 "Earmint" In Sumter.

Columbia correspondence News and
Courier: A gentleman from Sumter
county told a story today of dog
killer" that has been causing much
trouble in and around Stateburg and
Wedgfeld. 1t seems that the animal
has been prowling around the country
about ten days and the people there
think it was forced out of the swamp
by the recent floods. The animal had
been seen by several reputable citizens.
About ten days ago Mr.. Bannister, the
depot agent at Wedgefield, while going
to his home at night, met the animal
and was terribly frightened. The same
night several dogs were wounded in
fights. The next day it developed that
the animal had been in the vicinity
of Stateburg and had followed the dogs
of Mr.. A. S. Flood, Jr., into his resi-
dence: and it had also attacked and
wounded several other dogs in that Sec
ton. Last Friday night while Messrs.
w. H. Ramsey and Scott Mellett, with
a party of ladies, were returning home
from church the animal met them
and the gentlemen shot at it. The
young ladies were terribly frightened
and one of them was Frustrated for
about two days. Several other parties
are said to have seen the animal, which
is described as being "about the size OF
a dog, brown, with a peculiar head,
shaggy hair and a bushy tall Two or

and kill the "varmint." but SO far
without success. The Negroes will not

There were four drum and bugle

were 80 strong and marched in excellent
style.
Texas was we'll represented by
corps of 80 musicians. Their general
appearance and training captivated
tens of thousands who witnessed the

Wednesday evening.
To all these add the Waxahatchie

musicians; also the band Of cadets Of
90 instruments, and the drum and bugle
corps Of the Sons Of Veterans, all Of
a splendid figure in the reunion festivi-
ties, and also added greatly to the
pleasures Of the occasion. You will
have the musical strength Of the Elev-
enth Annual Reunion Of the U. c. Vet
Grams.
With all the musical display and tall
ent, which was no doubt perfect in its
execution, (and we have always been
partial to instrumental music), nothing
struck us with more feeling and anima-
tion than the singing of the Louisian-
ians in their bivouac on the first night
of the reunion. Especially was this the
case when they sung Rock Of Ages"
and when the Roll is Called Up Yon-
der Well Be There" It was so grand
that we will leave our readers to imag-
inc rather than to undertake to des-
cribe it.
