-nThe
cotton crop l>e}weeu Lancaster
and Van Wyck along the
road going through by J. A. P.
Sistare's and J. It. Thompson's
looks well and is above the average
in the county. From Van
tVyck through the old Hasseltine
and the Chafee place on down
nearly to Craigville the weed is
very small and cannot even with
most favorable conditions make
half a crop. As to the chances for
a corn crop along these routes we

Missing Since Saturday Last
Mr. C. II. Padgett, a carpenter,
has been missing since Saturday
lust, and Mr. J. P. 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. The last
seen of him was when a young
man who boarded at tho same
house, said to him "Let's go to
supper." Padget replied "1 have
.. .1 1- ? ? ? ? "
nii\cii u in iiik or two una 1 won l
go to the boarding house with the
odor of it on my breath. I will
go to a restaurant for my supper "
That was the last seen ef him by
any of his acquaintances. He drew
$10. on his work Saturday afternoon.
None of 1m tools or wear;ng
apparel are missing. There
seems to be some mystery about
his disappearance.
Sudden Death ot'an Aged Man

and highly respected citizen of
the Mt. Prospect secti >n, just

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

Mr. Twitty has taken Tn<
Ledger since its first issue, ovei
49 years ago, and was one its
best friends. He delighted t<

read at ull, and then he bad it

prompt about paying,not only for
his paper, but every debt he contracted.
Our old friends are passing

Here'.M Something of Interest to
, Every Person In Lancaster,
County*
When B. C. 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.
