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.

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 lie, WHO tv VU1.VM - — , , . . , in the lot. when Mr. Hiller’s large that his bouse bad been entered, dog, which was guarding the wagon, bis trunk broken open and me decided lo take part in the chase, money (about $32.00) stolen.

Charlis quickly pocketed "taUMr WM tightened his grasp, mashing the ( the object of ! dog’s lipa between bis thumbs and j his pnwnsr. Pottmr oonld m tks shape of something in Pickett’s 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, retraced Pickett’a ateps and a hun dred or more yards from the house found the tin box, containing $27 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 onemy end recover his money. Charlie Potter wss raised on Mr. Lee's place, i» a negro of good character, while Pickett is a noto- rioua rascal.
