Yandle, with whom he boarded, feels some anxiety ?s to his whereabouts. Mr. Padget has been working as a subcontractor at the factory ? baring taken the job of tiuishing up several of the cottages.

Death of Mr Ell Twlfty in His 1)7til Year. Mr. Eli Twitty died Thursday. July 4, 1001, at his home near Beaver Creek church. He was born nptir where he .lied in April 1805, wuich mude him 06 years and J months of age. He was the oldest man of our acquaintance. Mr. I'm Ift.v VVIIM fl fornioi" ..II - - - ~J ?. 1* *??& IUVJI till II I n lift', uud was an honest, upright, good man. Up to a year or so ago he was active for his age and would ride horse-oack wherever he desired to go. His strength began failing rapidly about that time and so did his senses of heai ing and sight. He eventually became totally deat and blind, but while these physical senses failed him he continued in possession of his mental faculties to the verv last. He was a man of strong mind and wonderful energy. He was confined to h;s bed only about two months. Mr. Twitty was twice married. His first wife was a Miss Terry. Two children bv ber, Mr. Petei T. Twitty and Mrs. J. L. Bell, survive him. His second marriage was to Miss Peggy. Hammond. After the death of his second wife, about twenty years ago, he wenl to live with his son, Mr. P. T.

He was always prompt about paying,not only for his paper, but every debt he contracted. Our old friends are passing away rapidly. It makes as feel Bad.

Hough & Co. entered the school book business, books at once took a tumble in price of from 20 to 30 per cent. Later, when they entered tlte Coffin business, the nhiiic thing happened; and ?till later the Gun business, and every one knows that B. C. Hough A Co. sell more ^?ur> tiiikiH vvrv uuiiT )(uii concern in Lancaster put together. Now they are in the Furnitukk Business, and tlie same thing will happen again, for you know when B. C. Hough & Co. enter any line, the people who are in that business must put down prices or get out. Why is this true; why can B. C. Hough & Co. sell goods cheaper than other people ? 1st. Because they buy for cash and in large quantities. 2nd. Because they do most of their own work and have 110 big salaries to pay. 3rd. Because they knew how and what to buy and are always ready with the spot, cash to take advantage of all special bargains. 4th. They are satisfied with a small profit?willing to live and let live. "Small profits" are the words that worry competition, for small profits and big expenses cannot go together. We have the situaj tion in hand, and we can and we will sell you for cash or on credit with satisfactory paper, Furniture cheaper than anv one else. Others ' may sell close, but we will sell I closer still. This is merely the announcement of our entry in the Furniture line. Later, we will quote you startling low juices on, Chairs, Tables, Heels, Cots, Mattresses, Springs, Lounges, Suits, j Chatfoniors, Wardrobes; Dressers, Kitchen Safes, Umbrella Stands, Hatracks, etc., and so on. i We are too busy at ju'esent getting in shape the three car loads of furniture received last week, to say more.
