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

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
