' The Headlight in lust week’s issue
goes for what he culls the “proposed
Gaffney county,” We expect to try
to have u new county in this section
hut have never intended to name it
Gaffney. It says “the new county
must assume its portions of the debt
of Union, York .and Spartanburg and
start out with over $50,000,” Jjust
as though we are not paying our por
tion now. We can pay it just us
easily to the new county treasurer
as we can to the old county treasur
ers. It will not be any more. We
know the people in the sections the
Headlight refers to. Its statements
in regard to them are very much like
tbp paper they are printed on—very
thin.
A fellow from the mountains went
into a certain store the other day and
asked the proprietor if he wanted to
buy s< me nice dried fruit. The
mevebant told him that he would ask
his wife if she needed any. So he
stepped to the telephone, called up
his wife, and talked to ber a few sec
onds through the 'phone, then turn
ing to the mountaineer, who was
standing with his hands in his
pockets, bis eyes stretched and his
face very red, told him that hie wife
said she did not need any dried fruit.
The Indignant mountaineer blurted
out; “Look here, mister, if you
didn’t want any fruit why didn’t you
■ay so! I ain't such a dad burned
fool as to think that you’ve got your
wife shet up In that little box.” And
turning he walked out, leaving the
merchant speechleas.

season than ever before in the history of
our business. We have on hand a nice
select stock of Clothing which we propose
to sell before Jan. 1, 1896. In fact they
must go. To give you an idea of the
amount of Overcoats we have sold this sea
son we can truthfully say we have ordered
and sold three lots of Overcoats. We re
ceived a lot last Friday and opened them
up, and on Saturday our Mr. Brown sold
fifteen of the lot. Now you must certainly
know that these goods are exactly what we
claim for them, or we could not dispose of
them in a manner like that. In
