The buyer for cash not only secures the lowest prices, but his trade is sought after. The credit buyer pays two prices for his goods
and then is dunned until he is weary of life and shuns the man who credited him as if he had done him an injury. Regarding these facts,
S. W. DICKSON,
In BARIjOW BLOCK, Next Door to Carter’s StLoe Store,
buys his Clothing and Furnishing Goods for Cash and sells them for Cash, and is thus enabled to sell better goods for less money than 0
those who do a credit business. For this reason Cash buyers can do better at his store than at those stores where the proprietor has to
make up his credit losses from his cash customers. He does not advertise to sell “ * hn .
because that would not be business, and because too often “at cost” means the cost to the customer and not to the merchant. But we
will say that we will offer

Joiinpiievillb, Deo. 10.— Wo are
having plenty of ruin and water is
move plentiful. With a few more
good rains the streams and wells
will be full again.
Good many killed their hogs
lust week and are very uneasy
about their meat. A freeze up just
about now would be thankfully re
ceived. We look for a cold snap
this week.
The matrimonial market is boom
ing. We heard there was to be a
double wedding below, yesterday,
but as we are not cortain It was a
be, we will wait until our next to
report. Curds are out for another
one day this week. That we know
will be a be. This will also ap
pear in our next. We bear of
several more to como off this win
ter, and wo bope next year will be
a good crop year.
Georgo Goar, (colored) died
very suddenly this morning ab-.ut
day. Mr. Culbcrt, bis employer,
senthtm down to the cotton house
to fill up some baskets of cotton,
while be bitched up the mules. On
bis arrival he found kim dead.
Dropsy ot the heart was the cause
of death.
We wish to close our gin this
week, or as early next week as
possible. Parties wishing cotton
gined will bring it in at once, and
those owing us for ginuing will
please call and settle, as wc don't
propose to run any ginning bills
over. You knew our terms were
cash, so bring us our money. Our
gin will be run free next season.
On the wind up many find their
cotton a little betlet then they ex-
, peeted.
We heard to-day that several
hundred of tho railroad hands
were idle near Richland because
the road had not been located or
they had surveyed two or three
routes, and had not yet decided
which one they would take. We
are very sorry to hear this; does
seem to us thoy could decide and
lot the work go on. We also heard
the road would be built standard
guage. Wc hope this report will
prove true, as wo think it would
be worth a great deal more to us
than a narrow guage, and we think
our county will be wil ling to pay
difference in cost. El,MV as.
DAWSON.
A Bravo »•«» TUl.f.
Dawsom, Dee. 12.—On Friday
last, Mr. Hiller, of Randolph coun
ty, came over to Mr. W. W. Lee’s,
of this county, to purchase oats.
Mr. Lee’s nine year old sou, Char
lie, was trying to catch a chicken
the dog’s teeth till the dog yelled
with pain which brought his master
to his rescue. Mr. Leo also came
out and between them they finally
succeeded iu getting the boy and
the dog separated. The dog was
pretty severely thrashed, and Char
lie was pioked up, pretty well ex
hausted and bleeding, carried in
and put to bed, where lie remained
nearly a week. The oaU of his leg
was torn off, skin and flesh, and the
bone exposed to view. A physi
cian attended him, and Charlie
will soon be up and out again.
The brave lad never oried.nor oom-
plained a single time, but lay io his
bed and laughed as he told the cir
cumstance over to bis relatives and
visiting friends, and never would
acknowledge that it hurt him. Of
just such stuff heroes are made.
On last Saturday Charlie Potter,
a colored man on Mr. W. Leo’s
plantation near Dover, this county,
on returning from the field, found

pocket and was satisfied it waa the
little square tin box in which he
kept his money, and asked him
what it was. Pickett told him it
was a flask. Potter then asked to
see it, but was refused. He then
told him of the loss of bis money,
and believed be bad it, and asked
permission to search him, and re
ceived the reply that “he would die
and go to bell beforo he would be
searched.” With this he started
home. Potter commanded him to
stop, and on his refusing to do so
shot him in the bip and thigh with
buck-shot, and as ho kept going
Potter attempted to shoot again,
but hia gun snapped, and Pickett
succeeded in reaching home. There
it waa ascertained that the money
was not on his person; to George
Adams, another of Mr. Leo's hands,

of Potter’s money. It is supposed
be threw it aside, intending to go
for it when the excitement should
snbsidc. Five dollars of the money
bed been spent or concealed.
Pickett's wound is pretty severe
but not Eerious. Potter did not
attempt to kill, but to cripple bis
