Local News from Town and Country TOO SHORT FOR A HEAD Itut None Too Short to Mrutlon, Hence They Are 1 toiled Down For (Juiek Kend- inghy Huny ^I.edtfor Patron* Who Are PreKHod for Time. Cherokee's volunteers in the war with Spain should go to Cowpena in a body. J. H. Curry has bought n lot on Buford Street and will build a brick house on it at once. Baker and Lemaster have made a contract to build another nice resi dence on Bufort street. Much work is being delayed in the city for want of lumber. Many ship ments of dressed lumber are far behind. The Cowpcns celebration is a county affair, and it behoves every Cherokeean to in some way contrib ute to its success. The Mayor’s court inis a session nearly every day, and seldom ad journs without having added some amount to the city treasury. I). G. Cline, one of our enterprising liverymen, has bought a building lot on Buford street, and will soon build a pretty dwelling house on it. Judge Brawley has issued an order changing the time of opening the April term of United States circuit court from the 18th to the 2.)th of this month. We are requested to state that the executive committee of The Cowpens Memorial Association will meet on Monday, the lirst day of May, in the court house in GuiTney. Every mem ber is earnestly requested to be pres ent, as the meeting will he a most important one. J. T. May, a contractor, recently moved to Gaffney from Hock Hill, has commenced work on a six room cot tage for J. C. Otts. Esq , on corner of Buford and Johnson streets. The site is a pretty one and this handsome cottage will add much to the beauty of the locality. Magistrate Lee, of White Plains, convened ins court in the city Wed nesday and investigated the charges against a negro who had recently served a term on the chaingang and had been rearrested for resisting an officer. He committed the man to jail to await trial at the June term of court. Wo handle only the most reliable seeds from such seed growers as T. W. Wood & Sons, D. Landrcth & Son, and Robt. Buist.

Many Cherokee farmers are devot ing some of their ground to vegeta bles for the market this year. This is a step in the right direction. There are in Gaffney now about 0,000 people, fully one-haif of whom buy all the vegetables they use, and are unable often to get what they need, and are willing to buy and pay renu- merative prices for them. We trust our farmers will move off on this line with their usual energy, and regulate their work by judicious methods. If they do this success is assured, and it will give an impetus to the business which will encourage others to engage in u renumerative business which will supply the home demand, and thereby keep money at home which is now paid to vegetable farmers in other states who often produce them under difficulties which Cherokee farmers do not have to con tend with. The Cowpcns Celebration. Some weeks ago the Carolina Spar tan suggested that the Spartanburg people attend the Cowpens celebra tion, und that they go the day before und camp on the ground. This is a good id*“a and wo sincerely hope that Spartanburg will turn out in full force, and thus encourage Cherokee In her patriotic work. The camping idea, if adopted, will add interest to the scene on the 27th of May and furnish the campers an opportunity to sleep on sacred ground where hero patriots once slept, and near the un marked and unknown graves of those who gave up their lives on Cowpens’ ensanguined litdd more than a cen tury ago for the cause they loved. We hope other cities and sections will adopt the camping idea and let the camp-fires burn again on the field where “Morgan’s men’’ first built them. Dentil of Mrs. Mary George. Miss Mary George died on the 18tfr inst.. in the fifty-third year of her age. Site hud long been a consistent member of the Baptist church at Abingdon Creek where her remains were buried yesterday. The funeral was preached by Rev. Mr. Samples, the pastor. Mrs. George’s gentle and Christian life endeared her to all, who now.sor- row because of her death. Our Soldier Hoys Coming. Cherokee’s soldiers in the Second South Carolina and First North Car olina Volunteers will be home the lirst of next week. » Cherokee should get all her young soldiers of the 1st S. O. Volunteers, the Heavy Battery, the 2nd S. C., and the 1st North Carolina together and treat them in a way that will show them the county is proud of them und appreciates their services. Fur.oml of Mr*. Turks The remains of Mrs. IT. L. Parks arrived in (he city Tuesday afternoon on the 2:18 o’clock train from Char lotte, uccompuimd by her grief- stricken husband and parents, Mr. and Mrs. K.

The remains wore met at the depot by a host of the deceased’s .friends in thi. j , her home city, and were carried to the home of her father on Race street. The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church Wednesday at lU o’clock A. M. The sermon was preached by the pastor, Rev. C., E. Robertson, after which the burial took place at Limestone cemetery. The largo congregation at the church and the cemetery were evi dence of the high admiration and love of all our people for the deceased,who they had known and loved almost from her infancy. We sorrow with the bere.ived and sympatize with them in their deep sorrow. The pallbearers were: R. S. Lip scomb, J. L. Hopper, Wofford Hum phries, J. Q. Little. J. 1). Jones, F. G. Stacy and W. M.

Arrangements have been made to run special trains over the South Carolina and Georgia railroad on the 10th 11th and 12th of May from Gaff ney to Blacksburg, to connect with the regular train from Blacksburg to Charleston or. account of the Con federate Veterans Reunion at that place. The KcyIvhI Meeting*. The meeting under the preaching of Evangelist Crane at the First Bap tist Church is still in progress with unabated interest. Large congrega tions attend every service. Mr. Crane is a good preacher and is un tiring in his efforts. The meeting will continue until Sunday night. A special service will he held Sunday afternoon. The protracted meeting at the Presbyterian church closed Wednes day night. Mr. Lowry’s preaching has been of a high order which has charmed his congregation, and his personality is of that elevated char acter which pleases and attracks ap-1 preciative people. He will carry to j liis home the good wishes of ajWmr people who feel that Gaffney isTietter because of ins coming. “He That Stays Does the Business." All the world admires 44 staying power/* On this quality success depends. The blood is the best fnend the heart has, and 44 faint heart** never won anything, Hood*s Sarsaparilla is the best friend the blood ever had; it cleanses the blood of everything. If you would he strong in the race of life and “do the business,” you must “ stay.” Hood’s Sarsaparilla makes the struggle easy. It gives clear, strong blood; hence perfect health ensues. Hives-“Tbe itching of hives which troubled me last summer was terrible; blotches came all over my body, flood's Sarsaparilla and Hood’s Pills cured me.” Mbs. Mahy Iebott, 2.J5 South Wolf St, Baltimore, Md. All RUM Down — “ I was as tired in thf morning as at night, had no ambition, weak and run down. Three bottles of Hood’s Sarsaparilla built me up and cured me. Can cut well and sleep well.” Mrs. Cmas. Mol/, 41X Madison Ht., Sandusky, Ohio. Female Troubles-” I woullhave wel comed death any time as a relief from catarrh of the womb and other serious troubles. The best physicians said my case was helpless. I stopped taking every thing else and took Hood’s Sarsaparilla. New life came to me and I gained until I am jierfectly well and strong.” Mrs. K.mma ,T. FfsHKit, Lonedell, Missouri, t, Never Disappomti Hood’* nil* cure llverJIU, the non IrrltatliiK »nd only cathartic to take with Hood’a Sara'aparliTai ''“HowCanYouSelSo Cheap?”’ Many times a day we are asked the above question. The answer is that our methods of doing business en ables us to do it. It is in the buying. We do an enor mous business both at Spartanburg and Gaffney, larger than any other concern at either place, on the same ex penses as stores that do not sell one third as much as we do. This, coupled with the fact that we do a strictly cash business, enables us to buy goods in large quanti ties, often buying out entire suores outright, and by be ing ready at all times to pay spot cash we get goods at prices that merchants who buy goods in the regular old way cannot touch. Therefore when we mark ourgoods and show them other merchants are paralyzed and can not understand how we can sell goods at retail cheaper than they can sell them wholesale, but this is neverthe less a fact. For instance we recently bought out the entire stock of dry goods, shoes and clothing of W. I. Harris & Son in Spartanburg at considerably less than 50 cents on the dollar. We have divided this splendid stock between our two stores and are selling it at just exactly 50 cents on the dollar. This is not half what the goods usually sell for, but half what they actually cost. Calicos, ging hams, pants cloths and flannels were bought in this stock at one-third regular price. We sell best style 10c ginghams, 4c and 5c; best grade check ginghams, 4c; best grade men’s fur hats, 64c; good suit of clothes, worth $5 to $6 elsewhere, (and worth it anywhere) for G2.49; ladies’ vests, 5c; men’s black half hose, two pairs for 5c; men’s wash ties and bows, 5c. The greatest bargains of all are in shoes; all styles of polkas, 64c; best grade oil grain polish, 64c; dongolas in lace and button, 49c, 64c, 74c, worth $ 1.50 to $2; old ladies’ comfort in kid and dongola, 74c and 84c, worth $ 1.50; Oxfords, 49c. * Men’s stylish shoes in lace and Congress, 84c; genuine cordovan shoe, all styles, worth $3.50 to $4, for $ 1,98c. Men’s oak kip ties, 49c, 64c, 74c, worth more than double the money. <3 * V V •J v ft V V V v V ’♦ V V ft V V V V V v w v V v f : * s : 'i : v ?
