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.

If "J. H." will send his foil name as

There is no reason under the sun
why Lexington cannot have electric
lights. Other towns, far less able anp

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. The funeral services were
conducted by the Rev. W. D. Quick.
i Tie New Lyric.

has the finest line of attractions
now that hasrever been produced in
Columbia. The building is crowded
at. each and every performance. Vis
1itor9 going to UolumDia win nna xne
