I>iVR BY, O-affnev, XIL ’ 1 -' Why Do We Advertise ? Simply In-cause we feel that the public would like to know the l,est phase of phar macy—pharmacy as a profession—and. frankly, because we want everybody to know of and about our store. Ours Is a modern pharmacy, with modern methods of dotnir business. In the Belcetion of our ehemleals, as well as our sundries, we exercise the utmost care to buy not what Is cheapest, but what is best; and to hijrh quality and purity we sacrifice every other consideration. It Is. therefore, not merely advisable, but Imperative, to patron ize only such pharmacists as examine, test and analyze thrir own K<’ods ;tnd prepara- lions, and who deal with irnportliiK and manufacturing firms of the highest repute. Contractor Baker U Now I'laeliiK Matei ml on the tlround for the linlhlmtr. It is gratifying to be able to state that work has at last been commenced on the Star Theatre and office build ing. At a meeting of the board of directors held in the otfice of Mr. J. A. Willis Wednesday a resolution was passed instructing Mr. Baker to proceed with the work at once. A call for 25 per cent, of the capital stock was made some time ago and nearly all who took stock have paid in their money. In fact it can be said that practically every subscriber to stock has paid in hut one, and that gentleman will in all probability pay later, as he is waiting for some future development that might be a barrier to bis carrying the stock. The building, when completed, will he the handsomest building in Gaff ney. It will be 66x160 feet, two stories high. The front will bo of pressed brick, trimmed with granite. Plate glass will be used for the win dows and doors. The front entrance to the theatre will be an arch with tiled flooring. There will be two store-rooms in front on the ground li tor. Over these store-rooms will be ten suits of offices, arranged in the most convenient manner and fin ished in the most modern style. There will be a wide hallway leading from the front to the theatre proper, which will be in the rear of the stores and office rooms. The gallery en trance to the theatre will be from the Birnie street side, while the front entrance will be from Limestone street. The theatre will have a commodious stage, a gallery that will seat about 300 and a parquet and dress circle that will seat about 400 giving it a caoac- ity of from 700 to 800 people. The projectors have not yet secured quite as much stock as they would like and as the project is in the na ture of a public enterprise, in which every man who is interested in Gaff ney will be more or less benefitted, they would like to place eome more of the stock. It is believed that the enterprise will pay a fairly good per cent, on the investment and if anyone desires some of the stock they will do well to call on Mr. W. C. Carpenter, the president of the company, at Carroll & Carpenter’s store, or Mr A. X. Wood the treasurer at the Merchants and Planters bank and they will take their subscriptions. ANOTHER EMBALMER. N<*» (iootla Arriving. Our merchants are now getting in their fall and winter goods and arn busy opening them up. marking and arranging them in proper display. Most of them have been on Xorth and returned, and they have gener ally bought large stocks in expecta tion of a heavy trade during the fall and winter \nonths. Look over The Ledger columns and you will find where you may get some of these new goods which are fresh from the north ern markets It U our business to dispense healtli-givlng prescriptions in the right way.

The liability to disease is greatly lesseaed when the blood is in good con dition, and the circulation healthy and vigorous. For then all refuse matter is promptly’ carried out of the system ; otherwise it would rapidly accumulate — fermentation would take place, the blood become polluted and the consti tution so weakened that a simple malady might result seriously. A healthy, active circulation means good digestion and strong, healthy nerves. As a blood purifier and tonic ,S. S. S. has no equal. It is the safest and best remedy for old people and children because it contains no minerals, but is made exclusively of roots and herbs. No other remedy so thoroughly and effectually cleanses the blood of im- purities. At the same time it builds up the weak and de bilitated, and reno vates the entire sys tem. It cures permanently all mannei of blood and skin troubles. Mr. E. E. Kelly, of Urbana, O., writes: “I had Eczema on my hands and face fot five years, it would break out in littl-.i white pustules, crusts would form and drop off, leaving the skin red and inflam ed. The doctors did me no good. I used all the medicated soaps and salves without beneiit. 8. S. 8. cured me, and my skin is as clear and smooth as any one’s.” tors and friends thought her case hope less. Richard T. Gardner, Florence, 8. C., suffered for years with Boiis. Two bot tles of S. 8. 8. put his blood in good con dition and the Boils disappeared. Send for our free book, and write our physicians about your case. Medical advice free.

He will shortly go before the State board and obtain a license to prosecute his art in this state. Mr. Shuford has some gruesome tales to tell of his experiences while in Ra leigh. An Extra Kin** Pumpkin. Our thanks are due our good friend, Mr. A. McCraw, of Goforth, for an extra fine specimen of pumpkin which he kindly and thoughtfully brought to the city for our especial benefit oc Tuesday last. The pumpkin was of peculiar growth and of rather uncommon va riety, though Mr. McCraw was uncer tain as to its exact name or class. It had grown in the shape of a crescent, weighed twenty-five pounds, and bad a particularly delicious flavor. Aside from the intrinsic value of all such things that are brought to this office, the kind thoughtfulness which prompts the donors to bring or send them to us, makes them still more highly prized and appreciated by us. This is not the first time that we have had such substantial evidence of Mr. McCraw’s esteem and good will toward The Ledger, and we assure him that we appreciate bis kindness to the utmost, and that we are glad to number him among our best friends and loyal patrons. The Atlanta Kxcunilon. The excursion train from Blacks burg and Gaffney to Atlanta. Ga., passed this place yesterday morning about fifteen minutes behind the time advertised for it to arrive. The crowd aboard was rather small when the train reached Gaffney, but the number was increased at this point by eight or ten passengers, among them being Rev. A. C. Cree, who took advantage of the low rate to visit some friends in Atlanta. The crowd no doubt swelled consid erably before the train reached its destination.
