Why is this, and too, right in the heat of summer? Simply because our goods come to us direct from the manufacturer, stripped of the middle-man’s profit and
are in league with a gigantic concern that has lots of the coveted stuff which often scoops in tons and tons of merchandise from hard pressed manufacturers’ assign
ees’ sales, railroad wrecks and other sources at less than half price. We get our share of these goods and pay no profit, and give our customers the benefit of it

WORK OF THE REAPER.
Mrs. Smith Wood, Deeatur .lone* and
Little llaiity Orubba are Cut Down,
Many of our people were pained to
learn of the death of Mrs. W. C. S.
Wood which occurred Saturday night
at her home near Goforth. She was
the beloved wife of Mr. “Smith”
Wood, one of the most prominent and
progressive citizens in the county,
and her death leaves a vacancy in
her community and in the hearts of
her neighbors and friends all over
the county, which cannot soon be
filled.
Her illness was of long duration
and while her suffering was no
doubt great, she bore up under it
with Christian fortitude and uttered
no words of complaint against the
decree of Providence which had
placed her on a bed of pain, and
which proved to be her deathbed.
She had lived .1 good life—ever a
faithful follower of Jesus, whose will
she strived to obey in all things, and
it was meet that her end should be
calm and peaceful—that she should
fail asleep to awake amid the glories
of a heavenly land.
The remains were interred in
Camp’s Creek burying ground Sun
day afternoon at 3 o’clock and the
large gathering at the grave of friends
and relatives from the surrounding
country was a touching evidence of
tho love and veneration felt for the
good woman while she lived and
moved among them. Rev. A. J.
Bonner conducted the funeral exer
cises.
Mrs. Wood leaves a husband and
four children to grieve for her, and
these will greatly miss her wise and
gentle counsel, her solicitous care
and her deep and sacred love. The
children are : Preston and Landrum,
Mrs. J. T. Harris and Mrs. Kd- Robbs.
Two brothers, S. R. and P. W. Hum
phries, also survive her.
Many, itiany hearts beat with sym
pathy for the lonely husband and the
motherless children, and The Ledger
begs to extend assurances of deep
commiseration for them in their
great sorrow.
Just aftev the noon hour Friday,
Landrum Decator Jones, died at his
home near the GatTney cotton mill
after an illness of eight days.
He was a son of Mr. J. K. Jones,
of this city, just twenty-two years of
age, and had been for some time a
weaver in the Gaffney cotton mill.
He was a married man, his wife being
a daughter of Mr. G. W. Moore, of
Blacksburg, and she and one child
are left to mourn for him.
In accordance with a wish of the
deceased, expressed when he became
convinced that death was inevitable,
the remains were taken to Ellenboro,
N. C., on Saturday and placed beside
those of bis mother who died several
years ago. The burial services were
conducted by Rev. Z. D. Harrill, of
Ellenboro, in the presence of a large
□umber of friends and relatives from
both states, some ofjwhom bad gone
a long way to pay their |last sad
respects to the dead young man.
Mr. Jones joined the church about
four years ago, and at the time of his
death be was a member iu high stand
ing of Bethel Baptist church at El
lenboro. He*was a worthy young
man, esteemed by his associates and
fellow laborers and well liked by the
officers of the mill in which he
worked.
Surrounded as he was by a loving
wife and sweet child, by the joys and
comforts of a happy home and by
everything that administers to the
happiness of a good man, his early
death is particularly sad and distress
ing. We deeply sympathize with the
doubly afflicted father and grlef-
strickeo family.
Between nine and ten o’clock Sun
day morning Daisy, the little daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Grubb, of
this city, died at the home of her
parents near the carpet mill. Little
Daisy was just nineteen months old,
though she had been a sufferer for
many long days with a complication
of diseases peculiar to infants. She
was ' taken down |to Corinth
church yesterday and there placed
in her last llctle resting place In the
quiet old country church-yard.
Mr. and Mrs. Grubb have the sym
pathy of a large number of friends
In the loss of their little one.

FAREWELL SERVICES.
Held Sliuday Night Complimentary to Prof.
Wade K. Brown.
The song service at the First Bap
tist church on Sunday night was well
rendered It was a farewell service
to Prof. Wade R. Brown who has for
the past year been the organiat and
choir director. A large and appreci
ative audience was present, filling
the main auditorium aud part of the
Sunday School room. The program
of high class music was a credit to
the high leadership of Prof. Brown
and the faithful work of the choir.
At the close of the song service the
pastor,' Rev. Arch. C. Cree, made
some happy remarks appropriate to
the occasion. He certainly voiced
the sentiments of his congregation
and the people of the town when he
thanked Prof. Brown for the benefit
he has conferred on us all in raising
the public taste for good music by
his able directing and teaching. We
reluctantly say good-by to so able a
musician, so fathful a teacher, so
genial a gentleman. Mr. Gree preach
ed a forceful sermon from Joshua
24: 15. “Choose ye this day whom
ye will serve.” The whole service
was fittingly concluded with a sweet
gospel solo, “None of self and ail of
Thee,” sung by Mrs. Virginia Cope
land.
The service was initiatory to a
series of special services which will
be held in the First Baptist Church
tor the next two weeks. Rev. Jno.
A. Wray, of Milledgeville, Ga., comes
today to assist the pastor in these
services. Last week we had the
pleasure of giving our readers a
picture of Mr. Wray. He is one of
the ablest aud most thoroughly con
secrated young ministers (.in the
South. Services will be held at 10
a. m., and 8 :B0 p. m. The public is
cordially invited to attend.
