window displays and other display*
being shown In the respective
places of business. Nearly all the
stores of the city are simply groaning
with attractions for both the lit-*

the war In Europe the
merchants have discarded the" da-1

surmise Is that they will be amply repaid

the store until aftef Xmaa, so
as to enable me to make back some
of the rent money which I had paid
during the six months It was recant;
he told me to go ahead and buy my
stock and that I could stay In the
building until after Xmas. In consequence
of what he said I purchased a
stock -of toys and holiday goods and
advertised that I would hare them on
sale at this store. After I had bought
the stock and put them on sale the
Bowers brothers notified me that I
could not occupy the building longer
than the term of the lease provided,
unless I would sign a new lease for
six months, or would pay them
$100.00 extra for the month of December.
Thlsl could not afford to do,
but 1 offered to pay them $75.00 for
use of it up to December S6th. This
they refused to accept, and they
stated that tbey expected to more s
.lot of their stock into the building
and have a sale. On the night of
November 30th, assisted by some
friends I moved all my stock from
the building and have suffered a
great loss on account of being forced

During the past week Messrs. A.,
L. & B. F. Bowers have rented the
building to the agent of the Southern
Express Company for $1.00 per day
In which to handle the whiskey traffic
during the holidays.
I appeal to the good citizens of
Beaufort oounty and ask If I have

In the town to sell for me and
a portion of it has been put on exhibition

corner Main and Market

Rodman enabled me to do this. As
this stock must bo sold by Xmas, all
who want to purchase holiday goods
will save money to visit my place.
I tried to return the goods, but the
dealers from whom I bought would
not take them back. So they must
