“Squslied” is This Man, and So are Our Prices.
We have decided to sell our summer clothing, hats and shoes
from now on at greatly reduced prices for the cash. We know
that very soon the chilly winds of winter will keep us from selling
them if we do not sell them now so we prefer to cut the price
now so that our customers may get the advantage of it while it is
hot. Come at once for this is no sham sale and we will do what
we say.

Last Saturday afternoon as the day
was drawing to a close and the shades
of evening began to fall the city was
apprised of the sad intelligence of
the demise of Mrs. Caroline M. Sams,
mother of Prof. R. (). Sams, and
widow of the late Miles H. Sams.
The news that Mrs. Sams was dead
spred quickly and all who had known
her were truly sorry. Mrs. Sams,
had been an invilid for years, but had
been able to be about the house and
engage, as was Tier wont, in her
domestic duties. Saturday afternoon
she arose to take her accustomed
walk but bad taken only a few steps
when she fell. Loving hands, which
had tenderly ministered to her wants
for years, succeeded in placing her
on her couch. Messengers were dis
patched after physicians, but it was
in vain that they attempted to re
lieve her. The end was as quiet and
peaceful as had bt j en her faultless
life. Soon the peace angel hovered
over and tho spirit was wafted buck
to the God who gave U.
Mrs. Sains was a Miss Oswald.
She was born in Beaufort nearly
seventy-nine years ago. In 1889 she
married Miles B. Sams, of Beaufort.
They made that place their home
until the fate of war drove them from
the coast to the interior of the State.
Ten children were sent to bless this
union, eight of whom survive, Prof.
R. U. Sams, of this city, being the
eldest.
Lewis R. Sams, tiie eldest child,
died at this place May 5th, 1892.
His remains were intered at Lime
stone cemetery. Miles B. Sams,
the husband, died January 11th 1891,
aged 82 and his body was laid to lost
on the same plot, space being left be
tween the two sufficient for another
grave. And now, the wife and
mother lias gone to meet her departed
loved ones and at her own request her
body reposes between those of hus
band and son there to remain until
the resurrection morn.
The funeral services were conduct
ed from the cottage on Victoria aven
ue Monday afternoon at 5:3U o’clock
by Rev. B. P. Robertson, of the First
Baptist Church. There was a large
concourse of friends and relatives
present to pay their respects to the
departed. The pall bearers were
Messrs. F. G. Stacy, R. R. Wilkins,
D. A. Thomas. J. T. Rogers, A. C.
Pridmore. C. T. Price. L. G..Byars
and Ed. DeCamp.

the city Monday among his many
friends.
Mr. J. B. T. Scott, a v™«d n ent
citizen of Union, was in the city Sun
day. Mr. Scott was formerly treas
urer of Union county and we are glad
to have him among us.
Miss Mollie Brown, who has been
visiting Misses Beona and Nellie
Wood, on Rutledge street, returned
to her home in Glendale last Satur
day. Miss Brown made many friends
in tho city during her brief stay and
we hope she will soon honor us again
with her presence.
Mr. R. C. Farr, representing the
Southern Presbyterian, was in the
city Monday in the interest of that
journal.
R. H. McCraw, of Maud, was among
the up-to-date Cherokee farmers in

the city Tuesday.
Ed. L. Eison, spent several days
this week at his old heme in Union
Mr. S. L. Hopper, who wont to
Blacksburg some time ago, has
returned home again and tendered
his resignation to his employers.
Uncle Sam says he can’t stay away
from Gaffney and there is no use to
try.
Mrs. J. B. Bell and children, left
last week for Yorkville, where they
went on an extended visit to Mrs.
Bell’s parents.

companied by Mrs. J. M. Jamison and
?diss Viola Runion, both of Easley.
Mrs. R. C. Thomson left yesterday
for Yorkville where she goes on a
visit to relatives and friends.
Our people were shocked on Tues
day morning to learn that Miss Mag
gie Galloway, second daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Galloway, and
one of Gaffney’s fairest, meekest,
purest and most lovable young
women was dead. She Dad not been
sick long and was thought to be im
proving only a short time before she
died.
Services were held at the family
residence by Rev. Father Frances of
the Catholic church and was largely
attended by the many friends of the
deceased whoso sympathy for the
bereaved family was plainly manifest.
After the services at the residence
the remains were carried to Lime
stone cemetery and interred in the
family plot.
Miss Galloway was just budding
into womanhood, being but fifteen
years of age, and was a most attrac
tive young lady.
The following were the pah bearers:
W. F. Brown, Tom Brown. Earnest
Humphries, Julian Lipscomb, Barney
Clary, Robert Munroe, Chas. T. Lip
scomb and L. J. Hopper.
Gaffney has treated Limestone
Springs too bad in not giving us any
benefitjof our tax money. The people
of the south end of Gaffney, Lime
stone Springs, pay between throe and
four hundred dollars in taxes every
year, and wo do not even get our
streets worked. I saw an old man
with pick and shovel cleaning out the
ditch on Church street to keep the
water off his lot and mine. He has
been doing this for years. I also had
to clean out a ditch on the west of
my house to keep the water from
ruining my cotton patch.
These are facts. Now we intend to
fight to the last ditch before we will
be imposed on in any such away.
As our forefathers fought their rights
so will we if we must.
Citizens of Limestone have your
guns in good order with plenty
of ammunition and one weeks rations,
and be ready for active service at a
moments notice we must and will
fight for our rights.
