Rochellc, September 10.—[Special]— A bold robbery was perpetrated beie yesterday at about noon. While Mr. A. E. Shappell, of the Rackott store, wss at home getting bis dinner, one Henry Wrlgbt of tbe colored persuasion, went Into his store through a broken sash at the rear end of tbe storo, and wont straightway for the money drawer. Fortunately a farmer who had bought some goods during the morning, came to the store and hearing someone rattling silver inside, com menced to pound on the door for admit tance, thinking that Mr. Chappell was inside, but getting no response he looked through the front window and saw a negro at tho money drawer. He called to Mr. A. F. Hamilton, who was near by and tbe gentlemen of color was soon overhauled aud then confessed the crime. His Honor Judge McConnell very promptly committed the gontloinin to jail at Abbeville whore lie will Huger at the county’s expense until Judge Uoberts and a competent jury can have a say In tbo matter. The sawyer (Harris) at tho Rivers’ Lumber Company’s mill was cut protty badly in tbo face with an axo this morn ing by another negro during a little un pleasantness between them.

Largest Stock! Finest Goods' L nest Prices! Trade is brightening up^ wonder fully. The rise in the marketable price of oar home products—the advent of a new season — the open ing up of a new stock, all this com bined with an untiring energy— an unremitting desire to please— is making itself felt at the Artesian corner. The novelties in china glassware, and lamps are almost bewildering this season. The Bample rooms of our best glass aud * lamp factories as well as those of the Importing China agencies presented a con stellation of dazzling effects in the most) :.li 11; iiii.iH tin!' heir respective lines have ever shown. unpacked orates, barrels and box es, and then wi^h goods marked and arranged, you will see that as our city adds one beautiful store after another, there is that same progressive spirit here, improving with improvements—improving on improvements—Butler A Berry’s Artesian corner.

On a pretty girl saying to Rufus Choste, “I um very sad-yon-see," he replied, “O, no; you belong to tbe old Jewteb sect; yon are vary falr-I-sae I” Nothing adds so much to tbe beauty of a fair girl, aa a dear, bright, healthy complexion, and to tenure this pure blood le indispensable. So many of the to-called blood purifiers sold to improve a rough, pimply, muddy akin, only drive the scrofulous humors from tbe surface to some internal vital organ, and disease and death Is the inevitable result. On the contrary, Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medl- cel Discovery strikes directly at the root leevtl, by driving the impur' ' entirely out of the system, and with a fresh stream of pure blood flowing through the veins, nothing but the softest and fairest of complexion can result.

Tbo popular Irish Comedian, Mr. BOBBY GAYLOK in hi. farcical creation One of the “400.” You know the old adage "Goods well bought are half sold.” "When we buy staples—wo look for the best qualities obtainable—when we buy specialties, we look not alone for quality, bat for the effects that the finest fancies and the latest fads demand. Tn addition to this we always look for the lowest price that factories will give, and the best of it is, we don't stop looking until we get there on all three points—quality, style and price. After gossiping on trade, novel ties and prices—gossip naturally drifts to the Artesian corner, our store does not look very nice now; but it’s going to look nice inside of ten days, for by that time we will get rid of carpenters who are altering counters, etc.; get rid of Its not much gossip to tell yoa that when this new stock began to come in, it did not find our shelves empty. Here, there and every where you could find a few odd sets of glasses and an odd lot of dishes— a stray lamp or two—the last "trade orphans" left of a onee bright lamp family, and we tell you frnnitly, we don’t like odd lots, we would just os leave mix a few drops of the best black ink iu a tub of artesian water, as to mix these odd lots, desirable as they are, with the new lines we are marking up.
