$26,250 N DVIDElDS. To Be Paid Today By the Corporations of the City. There will be paid in dividends today $26,250 and most of it will go to our own people as they are largely the stockholders in the local enterprises. The Newberry Cotton Mill will pay a 5 per ceut semi-annual divi dend on a capital stock of $4oo,ooo, amounting to $z6,ooo. The National Bank will pay a semi-annual dividend on the capi tal stock of $igo,ooo, amounting to $6,ooo. The Newberry Savings Bank will pay a semi-annual dividend of 3J per cent on the capital stock of $5o,ooo, amounting to $1,750 The Commercial Bank will pay a semi-annual dividend of 3 per cent on its capital stock of $50,000, amounting to $1,730. The Bank of Prosperity will pay a semi-annual dividend of 3 per cent on its capital stock of $25,ooo, amounting to $750. The People's National Bank of Prosperity, but recently organized, will not declare a dividend at this time, but the business of the bank as been entirely satisfactory and even better than the promoters an -ticipated. The Mollohon Manufacturing company would have declared a dividend but for the fact that the .pacity of the mill has just been doubled, and that is an assurances of success even greater than a divi dend, to be able so soon after the enterprise was launched to double the capacity. Newberry needs some more divi dead declaring institutions which at the same time give employment -to people, Comnittees For 1904. Mayor Jno. W.

The first cost of- an artdle' does not' necessarily determine its' cheapness.- - For instance, a sack of "Cifton" flour. may cost you a little more than other so-called patent flours, but it will be cheaper to you in the end. Why? Bet cause :twill not only make more bread to the,sack:, but will take less lard and soda to make it. Order a sack of "Clif ton" and make a test for yourself. It will prove the truth of this statement T. J. HAYs. Do you want one of the prettiest and most stylish Hats in town this season? If so you must have it made by the TheRier Iillliery Co Our prices are the lowest and our styles the newest that can be found in the city. Get the Best For the Asking. When you order a sack of patent flour from your grocer, do not tell him to send you "a sack of good flour", but tell him to send you a sack of "Clifton," because "Clifton" is the best patent. Every sack is sold with-this guarantee. and if it does not prove as represented, your money will be refunded. "Clifton" is an all-round flour, and is as good for cake and pastry as light rolls and bis cuit. T. J. HAYs.
