Just One More Week. GUY AND COUNTY CONGLOMERATED, Local News from Town and Country TOO SHORT FOR A HEAD The Fair Closing* Out We will sell everything at cost ' : or just one more week. Saturday, June i6, wiil be our iasi day m Gaffney and your last opportunity to buy Dry Goods, Glothing and Shoes at cost. We are going to quit business on the above date and are selling out at cost for that purpose. No profit is added on anything on any account what ever, but everything goes at cost. No such bargains were ever seen in Gaffney and will not be again, for while there are many reduc tion sales of various kinds there are few OOSS'i' sales, because merchants cannot make money on cost sales. They only occur on such occasions as this, when people are going out of business and want to convert their stock into money. We still have a splendid stock to select from and can suit everybody. Remember this is the last chance, as we close June 16. I tut Nou«; Too Short to Mention, Hence They Are lioiltvl Down 1‘orQuirk Kcatl- iu(i Hurt) Ledger I’alroUM Who Are »'rt i ( t) r J inn .

SCROFULA The Blighting Disease of Heredity. { lu many respects Scrofula and Consumption are alike ; they develop from the same gen eral causes, both are hereditary and dejjeudent upon an impure and im- povished blood supply. In const: nption the disease faktcns itseif upon the lungs ; in Scrofula the glands of the neck and throat swell and suppurate, causing ugly running sot s; the eyes arc inflamed and weak ; there is an almost continual discharge from the • ars, the limbs swell, bones ache, and white swelling is freouentb a result, causing the diseased 1 rones to work out through t - the skin, producing indescribable pain and suffering. Cutting away a sore or diseased gland does no good ; the blood is poisoned. The old scrofulous taint which has probably come down through several / *' /, generations has polluted every drop of blood. •V ;, * v 4 Scrofula requires vigorous, ]«rsistent treatment. The blood must ire brought back to a healthy { j 'M j ’ \ condition before the terrible disease can be stopped in its w rk of dcstnicti ,n. Mercury, jKrtash and \ otlu r poisonous minerals usually gi\ en in such cases do more harm than rood ; they ruin the digestion and leave the system in a worse aondition than before. S. S. S. D tlie* only medicine that can reach deep-seated blood troubles like Scrofula. It goes down to the very roots of the disease ar. ! inns every vestige of poison out of the blood. S. S.

They had been given a preliminary hearing before Magistrate Scruggs, Who ordered them to jail to auait the approaching term of court. They also brought tie ir mule and bug/y and turned it over to Sheriff Thomas for safe keeping until the State authorities decide whether or not they will be confiscated. After arriving in the city Phillips gave the r ice -sary bond arid was r< - leu-: ii, but Byars still remains in j.e! where !" will have leisure to pro- ear’ f' r he 11 iu! arid lay plans for fu lure ::.ei ati'ins. e hit fhat tl.-.st imij Were it trcl' d 'ted that propi r proceedings luive been ' tnincriced agair st them ' hi g- 1 l ’ eyp]e of Ezells have been t!y annoyed by such characters.

WE WILL CELEBRATE. i’lil,lie- Spirited CUixc-nn Dc-cldr J'liat The J'mirth ust he OhHerved. Since the announcement in Tues day’s Ledger of the fact that the committee having in charge the mat ter of soliciting funds for the Eourtli of July celebration had decided not to celebrate on account of the very iiigga , ‘itly manner in wh'ch some of these approached subscribed to the fund there has been a good deal of discussion on tbe subject, the result of which is that several enterprising citizens have tak< n upon themselves the task of getting up a celebration for that day. it seems that tbe trouble with the former committee was that they wanted too much of a celebration and were not satisfied with celebrating on what they could get. The new committee have decided to cut their garment ac cording to the cloth they have on hand and will eliminate some of the costly features planned by tlie former. It is proposed to have a game of bull, a lot of races, including bicycle races, pot aloe races, sack races, catching the greasy pig by the boys, catching the lamb by tbe little girls, etc., and have a day of general sport for the amusement of the citizens generally and the children in particular. A string bund lias been engaged to fur nish the music for the occasion. Let i verj body prepare for a general good t ime on tbe Fourth. There will bt refreshment stands on the ground and plenty oi amusements to last the entire day. Mr. \V. 8. VVbedon, Cashier of the First N'utiuuul Bank of Wintered, Iowa, in a recent letter gives some i xpcncnce with a carpenter in his employ, that will be of value to other niectitt'iics. He says. : "I hud a carpenter working for me who was obliged to stop work for several dajs on (.count of being troubled with dlarkueu. I mentioned to him that 1 had been similarly troubled and i that Chamberlain s Colic, Cholera I and Diarrhoea Remedy had cured me. lie bought a bottle of it from Die druggist here and informed me that one dose cured him, and lie is again at his work.” For sale by Cherokee Drug Co.
