.reeping CnsnmHiM Do not think for a single moment that consumption will ever strike you a sudden blow. It does not come that way. It creeps its way along. First, you think it is a little cold; nothing but a little hack* ing cough; then a little loss in weight: then a harder cough; then tne fever and the night sweats. The suddenness comes when you have a hemorrhage. Bener stop the disease while it is yet creeping. You can do it with Ayers I Cherry Pectoral You first notice that you cough less. The pressure on the chest is lifted. That feeling of suffocation is removed. A cure is hastened by placingone of Dr. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral Plaster over the Chest. A Book Freo. It is on the Diseases of the Throat and Lungs. Wr/to um Freely. It you have any complaint whatever and desire the best medical advice you can possibly receive, write the doctor i freely. Ton will receive aprompt reply,! without cost. Address, DR. J. C. AYKR, Lowell, Maat.

Saturday was a good business day in Gaffney. Those who came to town were on business strictly. Those without business in the city were moving things on the farms. We have been compelled to omit several communications from this issue on account of the presure on our columns by advertisers. We will endeavor to give them space in our next. Mr. Wheeler, a prominent architect of Atlanta Ga., was in the city Satur day with a view of making plans for some of the big buildings which our people contemplate building this spring and summer. Godfrey’s Brittish Band was the drawing card in Spartanburg Satur day. Among those who attended from Gaffney were. Misses Nell Evans, Florence Griffith, Ida Keys, Marie Montgomery, and Prof. Mack, of Limestone College, and Miss Mayme Humphries, Miss Ida Wood, Minnie Carroll, Agnes Littlejohn, Edna Sarratt, Annie Brown, Mabel Fort, Mrs, W. H. Gooding, A. N. Wood, Sam Hopper, John E. Jefferies and Floyd Baker. All were delighted. Gaffney Improvement*. It would be a revelation, even to those of our own citizens who seldom leave the ways from their homes to their places of business, if they would spend some time in walking over the city and seo the wonderful amount of building now being done in its limits. In the eastern and northern portions houses are going up as if by magic. So much so that one would |hesitate*before undertaking to find out who was building them. We would not pretend to undertake the job, but are glad to state that they are going up, and many of them are ornaments to the city. The wes tern portion is not lagging by any means, but is keeping step with the foremost. There are many pretty dwellings, in this quarter and they have been built lately. It is not uncommon ic this quarter to have people who are usually well posted, ask “whose house is this?” The southern portion of the city, always on the move, Is keeping apace. Handsome new houses are going up there too, which rival in beauty many of the their predecessors in that neighborhood of pretty houses and grounds. All in all Gaffney is grow ing rapidly. It is a healthy growth which indicates that it will continue to grow. Gaffney’* Deep Well. When at a depth of five hundred feet the city board of public work put a pump in Gaffney's deep well to test the volumn of water. After running it for about twenty hours at the rate of from seventy to ninety eight gallons per minute with no signs of failing, and satisfying the board and the town that the well was a great success, the board, to make assurance doubly sure, determined to sink the well fifty feet deeper. That depth—five hundred and fifty feet will be reached to-day and assures-Gaffney an abundant supply of pure water. A sample of the water has been sent to the State chemist for analysist, but he has not reported yet. It is as clear as crystal and has a taste which indicates that it is strongly impregnated with minerals. Gaffney hopes for much from her deep well and congratulate herself on securing the gentlemanly Andrews Bros., to dig It. - A Wil.l Gat. There is a veritable wild cat in town. It was caught on Bald Moun tain, in Rutherford county, N. 0., by trappers and brought to the city a few days ago and sold to Crawley & Co. It is a ferocious looking animal and has all the fighting proclivities of its species, which makes visitors keep at a respectful distance from the cage. Crawley Co. have had a pretty and substantial cage made for his cab- ship and will keep him on exhibition at their drug store. Everybody goes to see the cat, but the small boy en joys him hugely PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. rr<»|*l»- Vou Know Hinl IM-npIo You Don’t Know. Mrs. O. A.
