The season for hunting 'pos
sums,is about on, for the night
air is getting frosty and the crop
of 'possum dogs Is large. . 'Pos
sum hunting is a favorite sport
with many people in and around
Pickens, and just as soon,as the
frost touches the 'simmons the
sport will open in dead earnest.
The rains the latter part of
last week caused the roads to
become boggy, kept the farmyrs
at home and ,interfered with
them selling cotton and other
produce. As a consequence the
merchants of Pickens amd other
towns of the county had a small
trade and some were wearing
long faces.
Dr. J. L. Bolt, one of the pop
ular and prominent physicians
of Pickens, returned last Thurs
day fron a short pi ospecting and
business trip. While away he
visited Forest City, N. C., spend
ing some time there. The Doctor
is delighted with that town; he
says it is a good'town and it has
extra good prospects to make it
a better one.
There. will be an all-day sing

one in song and praise to our
Heavenly Father. Prof. 'J. C.

S. Walter Craig, a very popu
lar and handsome young man of
Cateechee, spent a time last
week with his cousin, John
Craig, and other relatives in
Pickens. Mr. Craig is a popu
'lar salesman at the Norris Com
pany store at Cateechee, stands
well in the esteem of his em
ployers, and is the idol of the
young ladies of the mill village
and the country 'round about.
The "old folks", think a lot of
him, too--In fact, )e has more
friends than the average bull
pup has fleas, and are always
glad to see him.
The people of this county seem
to be afraid of bargains. Very
few took advantage of J. A.
Peak's range proposition. This
offer expires Saturday night, the
31st ingt., and after that date
you will have to pay the regular
retail price on these goods. Mr.
Peak came from a live business
town where the people,whenever
a real bargain like -this Is offer
ed, fall all over themselves to
procure it. Go see him, look his
stock over and see how close a
price he will sell his goods at.
He will make the old time, high
price credit fellow lower prices or
quit business.
M'ajor S. Nimmons is no lonier
a citizen of Dickens, having left
for Williamston, his new home,
on Monday, where he goes to
take charge of a business as
manager. He has sold his in
terest in the firm of Ashmore &
Nimmons to his partner and
severed his connection with mer
cantile interests in Pickens, to
-the regret of his many friends,
who hate to. see him. leave.

Mr. H. A. Nichey,' of Pick
ens, on Monday of last week,
bought of a one-horse wagon
rm Transylvania county, N.
C., 1,000 poulnds of cabbage.
The. cabbage were gathered that
morning, coated with ice. They
were hauled across th6 moun
tains and reached Pickens that
same day between 3 aid 4 o'clock
p. m. These cabbage were ex
tra large and firm and went li'e
hot cakes.
Congressman Legare's health
is not as good as it has been, and
he is just back from consulting
a specialist at Asheville, who
advises that Mr. Legare try the
high, dry and bracing climate of
Arizona. He will in a short
time act upon this advice. His
many friends in and around
Pickens hope the change will
prove beneficial in the superla
tive degree. It is a pity he
could not get the rest and gain
the strength here in Pickens
that he so much needs.
Craig Bros., Pickens' popular
one-price cash merchants, are
offering great induccnients to
their customers in certain lines
that they are going to discon
tinue cartrying, viz, furniture
and clothing. They will cut
out from their stock these very
necessary commodities, and to
get rid of the stork on hand have
marked them at a price that
will sell them. If you need
either, or both, you cannot do
better than inspect their line of
good clothing and dressers.
Dr. J. N. Hallun1.is going
around with a preoecipid air
on an in a listening attitude.
The cause is he Dr. is just back
from a week's stay in Atlanta
and a visit to the great' Georgia
fair, and he is listening for the
roar of traffic, the hustle, bustle
and racket of the populace, the
blowing of the steam-whistle,
the clang of the street-car bell,
the noise of the boisterous mul
titude at the fair, and the 1001,
noises of the city that distract
the countryman. He had a
good time. Mrs. Hallum accom
panied him to the Southern me
tropolis to .keep him from get
ting lost.
We have in the past mailed
statements to all our out-of-the
county subscribers showving their
indebtedness, but they were al
ways derelict in responding.
W'e are now drawing on all these
through their local banks and
ask them to honor the drafts.
We must close up these accounts
at once, as the time limit al
lowed by "Uncle- Sam" for.us
to get on a "strictly-cash-in
advance" basis has expired.
After is~ date no man, not
even President Roosevelt, can
get this paper, unless he first
planks down the, dollar. -We
will have no credit or free-list
all will pay-advertisers, preach
ers, teachers, and all--if they
get the paper.
Charlie Bates, a well-kp6wn
colored character about Pickens,
who was indicted and tried atl
the.term of U. S. court now sit
ting -in Greenville, created a
laugh among the court officials
an d attendants by his remarks
when he plead guilty to the
'charge. He said he didn't know
he was violating the law until'
Chief of Police Nealey told him,
and right there and thien he quit.
Upon being asked what his oc
cupation now was, replied: "I
has citarge of the Pickens Graded'
School." This created more
laughter. Charlie is janitpr at
thescholbuilding and feels the
importance of his position. He
came clear of the charge, and1
on his way to take the train for
Pickens several colored cronies
tried to stop him to tal; lstyn
