STEEL THOMAS SUMMONED ABOVE. A Loving Young Wife Gone to Her Reward. SICK ONLY SHORT TIME. (■itlTiicy ShudoMt-<l l.v an lii<'X|ireNnU.lr Gloom on SMtunlay l-ust l.v tin* Drntli of a Go<ll> Woman.—Ill Will. T.v|>liolil Fever. The death angel has again come into our midst, claiming as his reward the loving Christian lady, Mrs. Steel Thomas, wife of Sheriff W. W. Thomas. Mrs. Thomas departed this life at her home on East Frederick street at 2 o’clock Saturday morning. The end was peaceful and calm. She had been ill with typhoid fever only three short weeks, and despite ail that skilled physicians and loving friends could do she was called to her Maker. When thinking of her pure, quiet, gentle, unobtrusive, lovable nature we can but exclaim, “Oh, Death where is thy sting; Oh, grave where is thy victory?” ’Tis another jewel for the Master’s crown ; ’tis another weary child gone to its Father for rest. Mrs. Thomas was the oldest daugh ter of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Tolleson, of (lowdeysvillc, in Ohero- kee county, formerly I’nion county. She waS'ip her twenty-ninth year. The deceased was a consistent member of Hie First Raptist church of this city, having moved her letter from Elbethel church, near her old home, of which church she had been a member from early childhood. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas hud been married but a short time, some four years, and the heartfelt sympathy of the whole community goes out to ih« sorrowing young Husband and relatives in their deep sorrow. A short service was held by Rev. B. 1*. Robertson at the home of the deceased, after which she was carried among a host of sorrowing relatives and friends to Limestone cemetery for interment.

A Woman Only Knows ■what suffering from fulling of the womb, whites, painful or irregular menses, or any disease of the distinctly feminine organs is.

Every body claims to sell goods cheaper than others, hut that means nothing. An assertion to he of any value must he proved. \\ hen wo claim that our store is the best and cheapest place to huv Shoes we can give several reasons Wo buy Shoes in larger quantities than any other Gaffney concern. Wo have lately bought two car loads of shoes, one of which you see in the above cut ; the other one was shipped to our Spartanburg store. Buying in such largo quantities, of course, we get much lower prices than people who buy iu small lots; also, the freight charges on ear loud lots are much less than on small shipments. In addition to this wo pay spot cash for all our goods and soil strictly for cash. In that way’ we get goods at the very rock bottom prices, and sell them at the smallest possible profit, because we have no losses arising from persons failing to pay and are not out of t he use of our money by having to wait on others. Times are hard, crops are short and prices low, and you want to find the place where you will get the most for your money. Come to see us and if we do not convince you that THE FAI R is the place, wo will not ask you to spend a cent in our house. s Siioes, Men s Shoes, i Ladies’Shoes.
