We have just succeeded in landing a tre
mendous lot of new and desirable merchan
dise at a big reduction in prices, consisting of
Shoes, Men’s, Boys’ and Children’s Clothing.
An elegant line of men’s and boys’ shirts just
received. Both soft and stiff from 25c up to
98c. Beautiful styles.
A big drive in outing at cents per yard;
sells elsewhere at 5 cents per yard.
The best bargain in Hosiery ever shown in
Gaffney: The 5c kind at 2% cts per pair; the
10 cts kind at 5 cts; the 15 cts quality at 1 Oc;
the 25 cents quality at 1 5 cents; large size,
heavy ribbed men’s and boys hose that usually
sell for 25 cts a pair, our price 1 3 cts a pair or
2 pairs for 25 cts.
We make our money in buying, not in sell
ing, frequently scooping in large lots of var
ious kinds of merchandise at less than half
cost, thus enabling us to sell to our customers
for less than the average merchant pays for
his goods. No second-hand or shoddy goods
kept, but nice, fresh, clean goods at under
prices.

<>»u<l Corn .
Mr. K. 1' Richarils an prit^rprisln?
f.inner of Algool, ex peri men ted a
a little on w hat he.took for one acre of
land, hut which from actual moi^ure-
ment proved70 be only seven-eighths
of an acre. The land was upland
and part of it had be n u-ed
for pasture. He first broke it up
with a long t >ngue plow then with
a one-horse turn plow followed by a
subsoil plow. Then he bedded with a
turn plow all but the middle furrow,
which ho ran out with a shovel plow
and ful owed t with a subsoiler
drilled 3000 pounds of acid and barn
yard manure, dropped the corn and
covered as usual, worked the corn
quick after coming up with a narrow
tongue plow. The second time in*
plowed it he only worked one side of
the row and applied one hundred
pounds of guano. The third time he
applied nearly one hundred pounds
of guano some distance irom the
corn, then worked it as usual and
fast, and gathered forty bushels of
good clean corn from the lot.
Mr. Richards thinks the experi-
m* nr paid him well an l we are sure h*
will have more than one acre of that
kind of corn next year. Who else
will profit by Mr. R’s experience?
A Sad Death.
Mr. W. D Howe, who came from
Courtland, New York, to Gaffney
some weeks ago, to establish a plant
for the manufacture of emery wheels
and other similar goods, died at 4
o’clock p m., Sunday at his home
corner of Granard and Mills streets.
Mr. Howe was in feeble health with
some pulmonary affection when he
came and has continued to grow
worse, when some ten days ago he
took his bed, and has patiently
awaited the end, carefully attended
by his devoted wife and Mr. Fred
Howe, his nephew.
Mr. Howe was a man of good ad
dress, fine mental abilities and strict
business ha'bits and bad made many
friends in Gaffney during his short
stay among us, and our hearts go
out in full sympathy to his bereaved
wife.
Mrs. Howe and nephew left yester
day afternoon with the remains for
Courtland, New York, where they
will be buried.
Mr*. Cotton’* Ttmnkaglvlag Dinner.
Mrs. George Cotton is one of the
most amiable ladies in Gaffney and
nothing delights her more than to be
the source of pleasure for her many
friends. Thanksgiving day she was
in her glory, having prepared a most
sumptuous repast for a numbeijof her
acquaintances. George was given to
understand that it was “Marra’s”
blowout, and although he tried to be
conspicuous by making more noise
than a man of his size should make,
nobody paid any attention to him.
Those who had the privilege of attend
ing enjoyed themselves immensely,
and all repaired to their homes with
light hearts and words of pra se for
the host and hostess.

Homo ICttlHt-d Hog*.
While the hog crop in Chero
kee doesn’t seem to be as large as
usual, we hear of quite a number of
people who have raised and killed
some fine ones. Cliff Lipscomb has
killed a fine lot, Johnson Burgess has
killed several, C. O. Harris, in the
city, one that went over 300 pounds,
and Sheriff Thomas three that went
over a thousand. Tell us about your
big hogs.
, Worth of ready-to-wear Clothing, Hats, Shoes, Gents’ Furnishing Goods, Ladies’ Capes and
j Meii s Overcoats. No one will be neglected as we have increased our Salesmen, and by doing so
we can Clothe you, we can Shoe you, we can Hat you, and /our money will last you. Don't
; he so foolish and burn your money, COME WHERE THE FIRE BURNS WARMEST, and the
coming will bring you to the MIL END. The last verdict of the United States jury was : That we
find the Mill End, located at 720 Limestone Street, GUILTY of selling Clothing, Hats, Shoes,
Ladies' Capes and Men’s Overcoats cheaper than any other place in Gaffney. The JUDGE’S sen
tence was : 1 hat the whole force ol the MILL LNl) salesmen will be at hard labor on waiting on
customers who are taking advantage of this Half Price Sale.
Such cutting, slicing and breaking of prices was never before heard of in Gaffney until you
come to the Mill End. The prices hero are unconscious, and by you being the doctor you can euro
them by taking home with you a .$10 Suit f.-r $5. That means that prices are cut right smack in
the middle. The talk of the town is how can the Mill End sell their goods so cheap. OUR MOTTO
for the last 15 years has been by buying for less, we can sell them for less. And by you coming
to the Mill End and buying your Clothing, Hats, Shoes and Overcoats you are buying them for less
Every article sold at this sale is guaranteed to give perfect satisfaction, and we guarantee you
that you are buying it for less,if not your money is refunded back to you. If you are talking
about buying Shoes we have them, and we sell them, and we don’t care to keep them.
It’s already known throughout Gaffney and Cherokee county that the MILL END sells Shoes
cheaper than the shoe-maker can half-sole them. That’s the reason the shoe-makers are all out
of work. Remember we carry any kind of a Shoe that is made for old men and for young men,
for old maids and for young maids and also for all the little ones.
Our clothing, it will take a week to explain them to you, but the prices will not keep them
here. If you don’t believe this come and look for yourself, and if everything don’t prove up to
be solid as a rock I will eat every Suit there is in our store. We don’t mean any jokes or any
fairy tales, we mean BUSINESS. And by doing so our prices countermand factory prices, and our
prices cut other store’s prices right smack in the middle. Come quick. The sooner the better.
Select what you want and the price will open your eyes. Remember these goods go for such
prices only for the Holidays, and prices on our goods countermand prices from New York to
Atlanta, and the Mill End is right in the middle. Our prices cut them, all of them, right smack
in the middle.
Remember we carry everything that is ready-made, nnd that any human being wears. Re
member the place. Come one, come Ml. Come quick. Come early to
“THE MILL END SALE.”
