THEY WORE WELL. Hr. B nnett Bought G ods From Mr. Camp In 1857. Mr. J. M. Bennett, of Gordon county, was in tbe city yesterday. He wore a silk vest that looked quite well, and seeing Mr. J. L. Camp, said to him: “Do you remember when you were e'erking in a store in Calhoua in 1857? Well, I bought this vest from you then, and paid you $5 for it.” The vest is of solid silk, and is quite pretty yet, in spite of thirty-six years of wear and tear. “Anu besides this vest,” he continued, “I have at home a pair of boots I paid you $lO for at tbe sa.ne time. I have hid them ever since 1857, and still wear them. They are almost as good as new.” Thirty-six y ear’s wear of a vest and a pair of boots, still good, beats the record, and Mr. Bennett swears by anything Mr. Camp recommends.
