That it* the way grip hcIh when it id not taken in hand and dri ven out of the t>yHlcm at once. The poiBona left by the grip germs keep right on destroying the vitality and undermining tiie health. You lose your appetite for food and what little you eat seems to do no good. Your nerves are unstrung, you become exhausted and finally you are over powered by some chronic disorder which takes you to an untimely grave. Why should you let the grip run until it gets such a hold on you when a few bottles of Dr. Miles Ner vine would fix you up right? It is t!i| greatest nerve medicine and h<h restorer ever known and thous ands of grip’s victims are finding in it a safe and sure means of regaining lost strength and vitality. “I found myself with a very weak stomach, and every time I Iried to eat I would become nauseated, some times belching wind and frequently finding relief only after vomiting. My nerves became affected and I was almost blind for several months Finally I began using Dr. Miles’ Nervine; and when Iliad used one bottle I was greatly improved. After taking two more bottles my stomach trouble was entirely gone and I have had no return of the symptoms in over three years." Mrs L. L. Winters, (Jwynnevillc, Ind.

An Appreciated School Toecher Talking About Ills patron*. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Golden Hj'kinoh, Mar., 11.—Mk. Editor :—Your kindness to me in the past by giving me space In your good paper has led me to tap again at your elbow. Our school at this place closes Fri day 17th inst., and we propose on that occasion to have an open day rec itation, that is, wo will be glad to have any friends of ours who may desire to do so to he present with us on that day. Our recitations will only be of an everyday character; in spelling, reading, geography, arithmetic and English grammar. W’e are not flat tering ourselves with the idea that we do or can surpass others in three months elhciency in these studies; but we do claim that by hard work and earnest devotion to them to be (as wo believe all will concede to us who may visit us) second to none in the fields of tiie public schools! This school has been well attended since Christmas, when it was possible to do so, for extreme weather. But I ’oust tell you something about tho patrons, and their ancestors who compose this school. First, to claim our attention under this head is : Who are their ancestors? Well I can only name their mothers, for, in most in stances, the fathers of these families are dead, and strange to say, their mothers are all living. Let me name them—Mrs. Chester Stacy, of your town now, about 88 years old; Mrs. Wm. Gaffney, Sr., about 77; Mrs. John Gaffney, Sr. about G9; Mrs. John Ross, Sr., about 72, and Mrs. Thomas Gaffney, Sr., about 73 years old. Truly, Mr. Editor, it is a treat to be in the company of these dear old matrons ; you meet in their homes every kindness they can possibly con fer upon you. Now these are their sons among whom for several short terms of public schools have spent my unoccupied time: Mr. John Gaff ney. Jr.,who Is trustee,and by the way, Mr. Sam Gaffney, Mr. L. R. Ross, Mr. Sando Northey. and Mr. Robert Northey. The father of the Mr. Nor- theys is living now, about 77 years old. These are the principal patrons of this school; and It is useless for me to say anything about these gen tlemen as worthy citizens of this coun ty to the public, it is enough to know from whom they are descended. But I must beg your indulgence a short while to speak of their kindness to me. I can only try to tell you of their kindness, but I never can make you understand it as I feel it. Suffice it for me to say that they hav^placed me under feeling obligations them and to theirs that I shall never be able to pay. There is another das'! of patrons to this school I cannot pass unnoticed. These are Mr. T. Brown. Mr. L. Brown, Mr. George Randolph and Mr. Fred Harris. I have spent some time among them as well as those above ;like those people above they al ways made me feel at home, and left nothing undone that they could do to contribute to my comfort. And so in the future, whenever it may lie in my power to do so, I shall work for tiie promotion of happiness among all the people alluded loin this short letter. This is, or should bo, our mission among each other, contribute all that we cun to promote the happiness of all with whom we come in touch. Every individual in this broad land of ours should feel bettered from all kindly associations enjoyed or met at the hands of others; so also ought ho or sho to do all in their power to con tribute to the happiness and prosper ity of every one with whom they are brought into contact.

Ilnu to Look Good. flood looks are really more than skin deep, depending entirely on a healthy condition of all the vital or gans. If the liver is inactive, you have a bilious look; if your stomach is disordered, you have a dispeptic look; if your kidneys are affected, you have a pinched look. Secure good health, and you will surely have good looks. "Electric Bitters" Is a good Alterative and Tonic.

Wr ->e A Stupenduous Display of the Best Values You Ever Saw for the Smallest Prices You Ever PaidvsK- i THE CASH PLAN. Wo do business on the cash plan. Wo buy for cash. We discount all our hills. Wo pay our local hills on presentation. No local bill collector is ever turned away from our office without his money. We have ample capital to run this business and do not have to use other people’s money. In other words, wo pay the cash for what we get, whether it is a box of matches or a |5,000 bill of goods. By pursuing this policy day in and day out and never deviating from it to the extent of a single cent, we get the concessions and the close prices and incomparable bargains that are never known by tiie merchant who buys on credit and puts off Peter to ^ay Paul. We sell for cash. We have taken off a liberal discount for our custom ers for the cash down. We can afford to do this. We have no losses. We are never out of the use of our money for a moment after tho goods leave the shelves. We have no bookkeeper. No bill collector nor bills for him to collect. As soon as wc get our hands on your money wo put it to working for you. We put it to a good use in buying bargains, in buying goods from people who do nothing but a cash business, just as we do,/ind you get the fullest henciit of it in the low prices that we are enabled to maintain by doing business in this way. Bring your cash to a cash store, to a place where it continues to serve you even after it leaves your pocket. SHOES. We are in earn est in our con- ^stant endeavors to offer you some- y* tjijjjg better than the ordinary at lower prices than you pay others. This was our first aim when we started this busl- n e s h. Constant persistency in this policy has already built up a busi- nses that is the P r| de of its own ers, the wonder of its competitors, and the delight of its patrons. The people who know the mosi about shoes are the ones who are best pleased with our shoe stock. Tho styles, the quality and the wearing capacity of our shoes command at tention.

The Cheapest Store on Earth. W “To the victor belong the spoils.” In peace as in war, it* is the strong, sturdy, well fed, finely drilled, superbly equipped and thoroughly disciplined forces that win. Out-of-date guns on out-of-date fortifications, with out-of- date men behind them are bound to yield to the power of modern armaments, skillfully sighted and fired with unerring aim. The mercantile battle being waged by The Fair has resulted in a glorious victory and its onward march is one of victorious triumph, because it has never hesitated or faltered in its determination to give better values for less money than any other house, and has adopted every modern idea that would accomplish that result, so that it now occupies the proud and enviable distinction of being the cheapest house in Gaffney. This is the cause of its getting the lion’s share of the business. This is the reason for its rapid and uninterrupted growth. “Low price” is the magnet that draws this immense trade, and never has its mastery been more thoroughly dem onstrated than now. Never before has it spread before you such a delicious feast of good things at such little prices as it does now. DRESS GOODS. Bragging is not in our line. There are others who can do it with an ease, an abandon and grace that put our feeble efforts to blush, but when wo claim that we can and do sell you dress goods or any other goods in our line at much lower prices than you can buy similar goods for elsewhere, it is not boasting, but the plain dyed- in-the-wool truth that needs but one purchase from you to stamp it indeli bly on your memory.

It ’j queer how business lags and drags with some, while with others it hurries and scurries along scarcely allowing time for reason able rest or recre ation. The se cret of it in nine cases out of ten is in the buying. To invite active business now-a-days means to sell close and buy still closer.
