Wednesday, February 24,1909. During the windy weather of the past,week Policeman Taylor experi-1 a <rreafc deal of difficulty in I & lighting and keeping the old gas lamps lit. This should cause our city fathers to consider at once the I advisability of securing electric lights. , It occurs to us that a proposition was submitted to council not so many years ago whereby the town could secure electric lights at a much less figure than what it. costs to run the gas Iv* ; v lights. Let's get together gentlemen Uv' and figure on the proposition. It will . not cost anything. f?? ' "J. H." The Dispatch has received an arfci cle on thef annexation question, and a fTerrify fnilfnl to send his true (K7 WUV Tf*?W* ~ ? _ name we cannot publish this week. If "J. H." will send his foil name as an evidence of good faith we will publish the communication with pleasure. . i Ipjpv : There is no reason under the sun why Lexington cannot have electric lights. Other towns, far less able anp not near as w$ll situated, have them. > We can have them too if we will but Uj, try- , ?=== i Farming That Fays. In. this issue the Ruff Hardware Company, of Colombia, are telling the farmers of Lexington how j| to farm intelligently. This firm has a foil line of op-to-date farming implements?Deere stalk cutters, Deere disc harrows, disc cultivators, corn and cotton planters. They carry at all times a large supply of the "Pittsburg Perfect*' hog fence, field fence, poultry fence, etc. It will pay you to figure with them before buying. Mr. T. D. Ruff, who was with the firm of T. B. Augbtry & Co., for many years, is the genial head of this new concern and that the business will receive a large share of the patronage is not .doubted. Lexington people will find it to their advantage to see the Ruff Hardware Co., before buying elsewhere. " T. S. Aughtry & Ce. On the front page of this issue we t \ , print a large display advertisement of T. B. Aughtry & Co., the welkaown L Columbia wholesale and retail merchants. This establishment has recently opened up a large hardware store entirely to itself, which surpasses anything of the kind in the Carolinas. In this store you will find hardware of every conceivable kind, buggies, wagons, harness, paints, oils, varnishes, lime, cement, buggy and wagon ma terial cutlery ana a tnousana ana one things too numerous to mention. T. B. Aughtry & Co., have always stood foremost among Columbia grot cers, and you will always find the best selections of heavy and fancy groceries at their store. Remember that they sell both at wholesale and retail prices, and our merchants will do well to consult them whenever in the market | for anything in their line. Be sure to make Aughtry's your headquarters j while in Columbia, whether you buy or not a welcome awaits you. Fran*? Calk Laid to Lest. The remains of Mr. Frank Calk, I who died aweek ago, at El Paso, Texas, arrived yesterday morning and were laid to rest in the family burying gronnd, yesterday afternoon, at 4 o'clock.
