' ' - " > ! of Your Valued Pat - W-j -.0 :-:u v- ; j t ' 1 Mimnatigh, The Mighty Man ! r: /,' 1 "Mimuaugh's on the corner; Mim-lj nangh's on the square," is the busiest!j store in the Carolines. For years and'j years John L. Mimnaugh has been a; j recognized leader among business men : of the capital of the State. When Mr. j j Mimnaugh first began business in Co- j lumbia many, many years ago, he did 1 not possess as many of these world's ; goods as he does today; tut he had j the energy, the perseverance, the get-'j np-and-huBtle, and today he owns and , controls one of the largest wholesale and retail department stores in the South. Besides, he owns considerable property in and around the city. He is a director in several banking institutions. Every enterprise in which Mr. Mimnaugh is interested, is prospering and making money for its stockholders. In a few months now Mr. Mimnaugh will sail for his old home in Europe, where he will spend three months on the soil of his birth and of his childhood. Big hearted, wholeSGuld, generous to a fault, there is no man who has a stronger personal friendship than John L. Mimnaugh, and his thousands of friends through out the State will wish for him a boa voyage, a pleasant sojourn and a safe return to South Carolina. Enouph of this; space will not permit the writer to dwell further on this important subject. We must get back to the Mimnaugh store, a veritable palace; the store that abounds with all that is grand and gorgeous in wearing apparel for men, womeii and children; the store where your dollar doe's double duty, and where there is always the hum of 'satisfied customers. Indeed, it-is a pleasure to visit .this store-,.'To the rich and- -poor ^alike, there is always the most cordial greet. ing. The person, who has onl^ a nickle to spend receives the samfe attention here as does the person "With -his pockets' stuffed with greenbacks. It is a graven of rest to. the weary and a balm for those who weep. Everything is sunshine and gladness at the the Mimnaugh store. Every where? you go, every - departfi,? Jo. ??i IlXCi.lv ui ixxc UtlliiiUil VJi clAJ that is.newest and best in merchandise, and every freight and express brings a new supply fresh from the fashion and great bargain centres of this and other countries. Never before in the history of the store has there been such an avalanche of irresistable values, such stunning styles, such gorgeous arrays, as is now to be seen at this popular establishment. If its something to wear that you are looking for yon can always '.find it for less money at Mimnaugh's than anywhere else. Another thing that makes the IVIimnangh store great is the mail order department. Since the introduction of this feature the business has steadily grown. So successfully Ins the mail order department been managed, that hundreds of women who used to lose two or three days going to Columbia to make their selections, now stay at home and order direct. The departrvt an f io T?n r? Ktr o r.nm'nofonf frirnci 1UVUU 10 iuu KfJ CH VVLUywUWUU XWX V/V^? Persons who have made the mail order business a life study, and in nearly every instance those who use this method of buying, always obtain the very best results. You don't have to live in Columbia, neither do you have to go, to buy at Mlmnaughs. Mr. Miranaugh has as his manager, Mr. S. F. Weeks, a son of old Orangeburg, who has, by indefatigable energy and persistent effort, won for himself an enviable reputation among the people of his adopted city. He is indeed the "right man in the right place." Mr. Weeks manages those under him with peculiar grace and ease, and he is the idol of his colaborers. To the people of Lexington the Mimnaugh store extends a sincere and cordial welcome at all times, whether you want to buy or not. Visit the big store while in the city. 4-. ' ?0 *?

To. the Editor of The Dispatch : We are having delightful weather ard the farmers are busy planting cotton and plowing corn. The smallpox scare has about subsided and the people are again normal. Our esteemed friend and fellow townsman, W. A. Goodwin, has gone out west to consult a specialist for the treatment of cancer. Dr. L. C Brook- j or, of Swansea, accompanied him. We J trust that the treatment will prcr/e a success. Mrs. Burt Fallaw, Mrs. Levi Risb, ami Cash Fallaw, all of the Sandam section, paid a brief visit to the happy Felix family recently. We are always glad to have them visit us, and especially when they bring us some of the finny tribe, the inhabitants of the waters of the famous Edisto. April showers Bring May flowers; Now they are blooming, The doves are cooing. Some of the young folks are courting, While others are sporting; They seem not to tarry And soon they marry. Mrs. Elijah Hall and little ones of Samaria, visited Mrs. Hall's father, W. A. Goodwin, before he left for the west last week. The dogwood are in bloom, Mr. Editor, and the fish in the waters of the historical Black cresk long to behold your hook. If yon want to catch plenty of'em you should take Col. Paul J. Neese, who is the champion fish-catcher and cat-fish "stcwer'' in these diggings. The farmers and citizens met at Athen's school house last week and - ? ' ?-* * rn .l organized tne "farmers' mutual ieiephone Company" for the purpose of building a line connecting Gaston and vicinity with Swans a. The officers are: W, B Fall aw, president; J. H. Price, vice-president; D. H. Craft, secretary, .and W. D. Pound, treasure-. The Union meeting recently held at New Hope was a success in every particular. Large crowds, plenty to eat, ' good speeches, excellent sumons and peace and harmony. The next meeting will be held wi.h the Sandy Run church at Gaston. Two of Gaston's prominent young men, E. J. and Frank Sturkie, were i .1 j P 4.^ ( reu-juviy iuiirncu, t.iv; xuiiiici i.u ami:-?Bell Spradley of Batesbursr, and the latter to Miss Lillie Hook of Swansea. We wish for them peace, happiness and prosperity. Billy Felix. Hasten, May 1, 1911. Rates to Reunion.
