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.

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.

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.

If you are talking about buying Shoes we have them, and we sell them, and we don’t care to keep them.
