To the People of Schley and Adjoining Counties.
I keep constantly on hand a well assorted stock of
groceries, plantation and family supplies, of every de
scription.
I have near the depots, a large brick warehouse, with
side-track facilities, where my heavy goods are stored,
and the economy and convenience of receiving and tor
warding, enables me to give as low, if not lower prices
than any one.
I will always have in season a good Mock of Iron ties,
twine, Cotton and jute bagging, enough to supply the
wants of all.
An experience of twenty two years in the grocery trade
helps me to anticipate the wants of the trading public ■
especially the farmers.
Special attention paid to filling orders by mail.
