Local News from Town and Country TOO SHORT FOR A HEAD Hut None Too Hliort to Mention, Hence They Are Itolled Down For tjulck Ket*U- Bib by Musy I.etlger Futrous Who Are Fresited for Time. Sow wheat till you are tired this fall. Court began yesterday with thirteen prisoners in jail. Rise in the price of cotton has put a smile on the farming community. From all parts of Cherokee county representativs were in town on Mon day. Ton thousand additional feet of piping are on the road for CalTney’s water works. The city markets have tine pork for sale on their counters these days, all raised in Cherokee county. Mr. M. J,. Ross is improving his already attractive home near the city by giving it a coat of paint. W. L Doiijrlas, of Asbury. brought The Ledger one of tho linest speci mens of pepper wo have ever seen. Select a site for GalTney’a roller mill now and go to work and have it ready for Cherokee’s next crop of wheat. Mr. and Mrs. \V. H. Pearson have moved into the large and handsome dwelling of Col. Sain Jefferies, on Jef feries street. When you begin to sow wheat this fall be sure that your land is well prepared sufficiently fertilized and the grain properly planted. Remember how good a big field of oats looks wlten feed begins to get scarce in the spring, and plant big fields in oats now. A tanner has not showed up in (JiilTney yet. The opening for one is still unoccupied and inviting the right man to business and fortune Providence reduced the cotton crop tills year, which increased the price. We trust our farmers will have the sagacity to do the same thing next year. SheritT Thomas’ report to the pre siding Judge yesterday morning showed nine state prisoners in jail awaiting trial. One, Walker Meeks, for murder. The many friends of Phillip Ray will be pleased to learn that he is re covering from a long and severe ill ness, and will, with The Ledger, hope for his speedy return to perfect health. Walter Raker has changed the appearance of his store by giving it a new dress of paint. It can be said, without fear of successful contradic tion. the paint was not put on before it was needed. Giles M. Hill, of Gaffney, who has been'enguged on his Gilky creek place repairing and fixing it up for another crop, is at home this week. Giles is one of the leading young fanners of Cherokee county, and he is a hustler too. W. R. Isler, of Antioch, made fifty three gallons of sorghum molasses on one fourth of an acre of land this year. With such possibilities in Cherokee we ought not to import a single gallon of molasses into the county. Mr. Ed. Ronner, of Forest City, Ark., who has been detained in this city for some time attending to busi ness, is having a good time meeting his many old friends from ali parts of the county, who met here this court week. A prosperous farmer from lower Cherokee was in town yesterday and said it was tho first time he had ever been in the Cherokee county court house, and lie has never been a witness except in a trial justice court, several years ago. The ladies of fhe First Raptist church will have an oyster supper in the old post office building (next door to The Ledger office) Wednesday, Oct. 1th, from 4 to 10 o’clock p. m., for the benefit of the organ fund of the Raptist church. Everybody is cordially invited to come. Mountain wagons from North Caro lina are in the city every day now. They are loaded with all manner of mountain produce for which the mountaineers are receiving fair prices. These mountaineers^represent a grand part of this mundane sphere, but are not given to bragging on it. They generally report the apple crop short. Col. II. 1*. Griffith, commander of the Cherokee regiment of Confederate Veterans, has been appointed one of the historians of tho South Carolina division of veterans by Gen. C. I. Walker. Gen. Walker could not have made a wiser selection from the whole division. Col. Griffith was a gallant soldier of the Confederacy. He knows history when he sees it, has the ability to write it and spurns pretended history not warranted by facts. Events which never occured, like the oft told false story of Grant refusing to receive Gen. Lee’s sword, will not be seen in Col. Griffith’s writing and collections. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ * si *3> a r Cheapest Store Everybody knows why we sell goods cheaper than stores that do a credit bus iness, but there are some reasons why we sell this season cheaper than concerns that do a cash business. We haven’t got anymore money than other people and we are not any smarter than they, but sometimes we just happen to hit it lucky. We did it this season. Everything in our lines has been steadily advancing for more than six months and we knew that in order to buy goods cheap we wckild have to buy early. Accordingly our buyer went North August and bought our entire fall stock at prices that nobody can now touch no matter how much money he may have or how good a buyer he may be. No buyer from Gaffney went North until a month after we bought our goods, and in that time prices had gone out of sight, but they had to pay them or do with out, and now they are compelled to charge higher prices than we cio to get their money back. Price our goods and compare them with others and all this will be proved to you. No amount of wind or loud talk can get around this fact. Facts are stubborn things. We bought our goods when they were low down and we are giv ing you tne benefit of it. All we do is to put our small uniform profit on everything we buy c nd let it go, making a selling price in many cases less than our competitors paid for heir goods. This, together with our modern, up-to-date, progressive methods of doing business is making trade hum in our store. The people soon learn where to buy their goods and where they can save money. We are daily making good our claim to be'T'he C'liecipeHt ^tore on ICiirtli this season more than ever before. All our old friends are coming back accompanied by many more and trade is in creasing briskly every day. We find that our reputation has extended far and wide and people from a distance come in to tell us what they have heard about The Fair. In whatever way we do it, it is done, and the great magnet which draws the trade and holds it is our low prices and big values, backed up by our unanswerable guarantee, “Money Back, If You Want It.’’ Do not spend a cent until you have seen our goods and prices. If you do, you are just giving your money away. We will give you more for it than any other concern and will make it to YOUR interest to trade with us. We have quoted in our advertisements a line of prices that nobody has dared to contest, and they have brought us an immense trade, which we greatly appreciate. Everybody who comes to our store, whether to buy Or not, will receive the most polite and courteous attention and made to feel at home. The people who trade with us support us, and we feel that they deserve great consideration. lit E ¥ ¥ jL..jr •:i M V • 1, — ♦ ♦♦♦♦ .« sonictlmcKtBIlii'tilt to think of sornftlilriK to »rite for ;iti .'iilvorlKnim-nt, hut you will hint no illMI.'iilty In svIrrtlBIC hoiik*- HiIiil; nine nnd |>:il:tt:il>h- for t hi- ijihli-If you w ill cull on km!.

Cherokee’s yeomanry came in from every quarter. They report cotton flicking well advanced and as being a light job this full. 8ay they are moving peavines and grass with a vim, fearing u killing frost earlier than usual. The rise in the price in cotton is reviving the farmers spirits sumo.
