BUTCHERY. Inscribed on a rock on the corner of one of the principle streets of Boston are these words, “On this spot the first blood of the Revolution was shed.” The red sign that swings over our door is em blematic of butchery, but the butchery going on within is of an altogether different nature from the terrible struggle that took place on Bunker’s Hill. Never before in the history of Gaffney has goods been slaughtered to such an extent as is now being done at THE BATTERY. Our store is loaded from floor to ceiling with goods of various kinds, and every freight that arrives brings new additions to our already over-crowded house. It is no wonder that our store is always crowded with customers, when there is such a terrible slaughter going on. ^ f Good Outing, 3c per yard, yard wide Bleaching, 5c per yard, doubli • width Wool Dress Goods, 10c per yard, Red Flannel, 10c per yard, yard wide Percales, 5c per yard, Bedticking, 5c per yard, 500 boy’s suits from 49c up, Suspenders 4c a pair and up.

A Large Crowd Attended the Dedication Exercises there Sunday. A large crowd of the members and friends of Goucher church gathered at the church Sunday morning for the purpose of witnessing the dedica tory service, which had been an nounced for the purpose of dedicating the new church which had recently been built ou the sacred and historic old grounds. A more representative and hospit able assemblage would be hard to find anywhere. Dr. G. B. Moore, of Furman Uni versity, preached the dedication ser mon. He is not a showy man nor an orator, but he preached an impressive and thoughtful sermon. We have heard of bis heresy, but his sermon of Sunday was a plain, simple, gospel sermon, orthodox enough for us, and we are inclined to think that he is a little ahead of those who accuse him. Many reject what they do not under stand and condemn what they do not believe. Biblical research is worth nothing if circumscribed by inflexible church creeds and religious dogma, formulated years ago. After the sermon the congregation, by cordial invitation of Kev. F. C. Hickson, the pastor, and others who provided the wherewithal, assembled under the shade of the trees near the school house to enjoy a sumptuous repast. After the intermission Dr. Lodge, of Limestone College, addressed the audience on the subject of education. He exposed some of the common fal lacies regarding education and showed not only the advantages but the necessity of a Christian education. On the whole it was a pleasant and profitable day, and we enjoyed meet ing many of Goucher’s good substan tial citizenship. The new church is a handsome and commodious structure, a monument to the zeal and enterprise of the Goucher Baptists, an ornament to the neighborhood and an evidence of its religious and material progress. Quite a crowd of Gaffney’s citizen ship attended the dedicatory exer cises, among whom the writer recalls: W. W. Thomas and mother, Mrs. D. A. Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Mc Arthur, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Otts, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Turner and Miss Mollie Robbs, Miss Elia McCraw and Robert McCraw, Mrs. Dr. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Gooding, Mr. William R. Lipscomb. J. Eb Jefferies, Dr. C. T. Lipscomb, W. 8. Hall. Jr., T. B. Butler, “Doc” Lavender, W. H. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Barney Clary. Messrs. Tom Lockhart and Logan Warmouth were in good company, but unfortunately the writer did not find out the names oi tbeir fair com panions. An Aged Citizen Deitd. Mr. Joshua Hames, one of the old est and most highly respected citizens of the county, died Sunday at his home near Grindal and was buried at the family graveyard on the farm yesterday. Mr. Hames bad been feeble for a number of months and passed away from sheer old age, he having lived beyond four score years. He was a good citizen, a good neighbor and bad all his life been a proverbial hard worker, and by his constant work and frugality had amassed quite a com fortable fortune. He leaves a wife, three sons and two daughters, Messrs. John A. Hames, of Gowdeysville; Gilbert Hames. of Grindal, and Wm. Hames, of 1’acolet, and Mrs. W. E. M. Kirby and Mrs. Wm. Nance, of Grindal, who are all most worthy and highly respected people, and they have the sympathy of a large circle of friends in this their time of deepest trouble. See notice of the excursion to Ashe ville in another column. Mr. Morrison sold an entire car to the Junior Order of mechanics at Gastonia for the oc casion. He expects to sell about a hundred tickets in Gaffney and says the prospects are good all along the route for a heavy patronage.

A Fidgety Man Ever meet a fidgety man?. Ever stop to think why he is so uneasy? Nine times out of ten you would be safe in betting a dollar to a doughnut that his clothes bother him. His coat collar bol up to his ears when he sits dowo, or the hem in his trousers has an insane desire to rest upon his ankle bone, or perhaps ’tis simply his vest that causes the trouble, and when it slips from under his coat collar and taps him affectionately on the lower extremity of his left ear you will see THE FIDGETY MAN at his best and he will say—well, he’ll say something. OUR CLOTHES Have a Faculty of Fitting Proparly. MEN WHO WEAR THEM DON’T FIDGET. Our new fall and winter styles are now in—handsome, right priced, and not a FIDGET in the whole lot.
