CITY AND COUNTY CONGLOMERATED. Local News from Town and Country TOO SHORT FOR A HEAL Hut None Too Klinrt to Mention, Hence They Are Jiolled Down For (Julck Ken.l- ing by Ituny Ledger I'lttronn Who Are 1'reMHed for Time. The workmen are getting along very nicely with the standpipe and will have it finished long betore the other work is done. Mr. Moses Wood and family have moved into Mr. W. (). Lipscomb’s pretty suburban residence about one mile northeast of the city. Hal K. Jefferies will build a dwel ling on Indian Hill next year and op erate a dairy farm. Indian Hill is that beautiful height near Mr. W. L. Morgan’s. The cotton receipts these days are wonderfully small and the evidences are that a majority of the crop in this county has already been marketed. Truly this is an oil year in cotton. J’hillip Ray, of State Line, who lias been extremely low, is, we are glad to announce, so far improved as to be able to sit up some. His ultimate recovery is anxiously awaited by all who know him. At last the contractor has suc ceeded in getting a foundation for the reservoir at the artesian well. For a while it looked like this par ticular part of the work was to he a failure but perseverance and skill have surmounted all obstacles. The discontinuence of the Fine Grove postoflice has been a source of inconvenience to a lot of people in that neighborhood, but the post master says that the salary was not sufficiently renumerative, hence lie was forced to give up the office. The De Pachmann pianoforte re cital next Monday evening promises to be the musical event of the season for Spartanburg. Dr. Peters con tinues to display great tact in the se lection of the entertainments for Converse and richly deserves the suc cess lie has attained. The railroads must be very busy these days. A month ago we or dered a lot of envelopes for a cus tomer who was in a hurry for them and they just arrived yesterday not withstanding the fact that they were shipped out from Cincinnati more than two weeks ago. Contractor Raker expects to be able to start the work on the new Methodist church in a very short while, lie is only waiting on some of the material to arrive. When it is finished we will have four of as nice church buildings as can be found in a town of the size of Gaff ney, even if you hunt the country over. The Ledger understands that Mr. N. W. Hardin has formed a partner ship with a Mr. McWhorter and will open an office in this city for the practice of law. Mr. Hardin will have charge of the Hlacksburg office while Mr. McWhorter will look after things on this end of the line. The Ledger wishes the new firm success. Hilda, the infant daughter of Post* master and Mrs. A. R. N. Folger, died Wednesday morning at 7 o’clock, aged two weeks and three days. The remains of the little one were taken to Easley Wednesday afternoon for interment. The tenderest sympathy of a host of friends go out to the grief stricken parents in their hour of trouble. The Limestone Star is the name of the new college paper issued by the students of Limestone College. The young ladies who are editing it have displayed considerable talent and some of them bid fair to make their mark in literature. May it continue to twinkle and add its ray of light to the literary fermnment of the uni verse. Operations at the Victor Cotton Seed Oil Mill have been delayed be cause of the non-arrival of a piece of machinery. Manager Lipscomb is expecting.the missing link to arrive daily and just as soon as it arrives just so soon will the wheels of a new enterprise in Gaffney turn. Let the missing machinery be hastened for ward. Next Sabbath morning at the Graded School building Rev. R. P. Robertson will continue his series of sermons on‘•God.” In the evening he will preach on “Some Modern Methods of Propagandist!! in the Religious World.” In this latter sermon he will present some of the fallicivs of Mormanism, etc. A cor dial invitation is extended the public to attend these services. There were a number of Cherokee people in atteiukmce upon the Feder al court in Greenville this week. Some were there us witnesses, some as attorneys, some as jurymen and some as prisoners. The latter could have added to the fair fame of the county rather than dertuct from it if they had not been there and we hope that in the future they will, like Ciesar’s wife, keep themselves above suspicion.

I This is the cheapest store on earth. We don’t think about anything but how cheap we can sell goods. We buy them cheap. We get them before they advance in price. We pay cash for them. We sell them for cash. We do a big business on a small ex pense. We turn over our money very fast. We have no dead stock on hand. Our goods don’t stay in the store long enough for that. Our prices make them move. Our customers are our best advertisers. Every one of them is our friend. The best evidence that we are ail we claim to be and do all we claim to do is the fact that all our customers come back to us and bring many more. It pays to be honest with people and it never pays to deceive them in any way. We guarantee everything we sell to be all that we represent it to be and our guarantee means something; ic means, money back if you want it. This is our eighth month in business and we are glad to be able to say that notwith standing the gloomy predictions of some of our competitors when we started this store we are doing a much larger business than any of them ana it is growing every day. Merit will win every time and in the mercantile business merit consists of low prices, good values and fair dealing. These have made us successful. Other stores will tell you about how prices have advanced in order to explain why they must charge you more than they used to. If you will go through our stock you cannot see that anything has advanced. Prices are just as low as they ever were and in many cases actually lower. We quote a few below that are seasonable just now and we know that they cannot be met here or elsewhere. o SI All wool black cheviot suit of clothes,. $2.9i Long mackintosh coats, 9^ Men’s heavy canton flannel slips, Nickel watch, guaranteed for one year, 89 10-4 blankets, white and gray, 24 Men’s ribbed undershirts 15 Ladies’ plush capes, 98 Ladies’ fur trimmed double cape, 89 Child’s fur trimmed cloak, 89 Child’s heavy tip shoes, 49 Men’s fur hats, all styles, 24 Wc handle everything in dry goods, clothing, shoes, notions, hats, etc,, at pi ices that cannot be beat any where.
