Constantly
Giving Value.
Aro thcro any other ways that are better for every one
hundred cents than giving a dollar’s worth of goods? This we
do. The approaching winter must bring to your mind it’s many
needs to make warmth and comfort.
Blankets=
You can buy from us the cheap cotton blankets at 50c a
pair, and we have them all the way up to Heavy cotton
ones at $1.50 a pair that are much more desirable than cheap
wove mixed ones.
Underwear—
In this we have bought the most complete line. Ladies
ribbed cotton fierce lim'd vest, 15c; the 25c kind and the 55c
grade for 25c; better ones at 50c, 75c and $1.00. Ladies
union suits; Misses’ and (’hildren’s underwear in shirts and
union suits. Men's undershirts from a heavy cotton one
at 20c up to $1.50 each. Heavy fleeced line goods at 50c
that every one must appreciate when they see them. Wright’s
health underwear in shirts and suits.
Notions=
We have taken special pains to put our notion department
in first-class trim thi" season, and you will find all useful arti
cles and many new novelties.
Our $1.00 and $1.50 kid gloves are the best to be- found for
the price.
Ladies’, Misses’
and Children’s Hose = -
Hose that you can rely on as to color and service. Heavy
ribbed boys’hose at i5e and 25c. Medium weight for Misses
and Ladies in blacks and tans and fancy plaids. We claim for
our line of 25c hose that there is none better lor the price—
smooth fast black and have the service.
Handkerchiefs —
fn plain linen hemstitch, fancy lace edge and lace inserting
and embroidery; prices from 5c to 40c.
Fine
Embroideries and Laces^=
When it is known how embroideries have advanced, tin*
beauty of ours and the prices at which we sell them will cause
them to be quickly picked up.
Capes and Jackets—
Right from the heart of the markets, and the style, make-
up and price tdl correct. Jackets aro growing more and more
in favor and tire the proper things.

The people want to save money, and if they will

a year. Call on us; no trouble to show goods.
The Company Store.
Flour
I have just received 300 barrels of
Flour, which I bought at a bargain and I
am going to sell it at $2.00. It is posi
tively the very best flour on the market
for the money.
All other goods in my store are as
cheap in proportion as is compatable
with good business principles.
My cloak sale still continues, and if
you need a cloak you will do well to in
spect this line.
20 Gross of Lily Bouquet Buttermilk Soap; im

ing by Ituny Ledger I'lttronn Who Are

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.
Wo invite the attention of our
readers to the advertisements in this
issue of The Ledger. You will find
almost everything that you may need
advertised and bargains in every line.
Thu sales that aro to take place on
salesday will be of special interest to
those who wish to invest inlands;
the announcements of the different
merchants are worthy of perusal and
the special barguns in (lie for sale
column will attract almost every
body.

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.
