ECONOMY. True economy is not buy ing goods at a low price. Real economy is when you buy the very best at a fair price. In every line is this true, but more especially is this so when it comes to buying clothes. Seeking for value instead of price, buying the very best you can possibly afford and in the “long run” there is where the economy comes in. Since Gaffney has been a town there never has been such a rounded up stock of Clothing and Gent’s Furnish ings as we are now carrying. # Bright, snappy, clean, up- to-date stuff. SPECIAL VALUES. Special values, in Men’s $5.00, $7.50 and $10.00 suits. High grade makes in the very latest styles and materials, $12.50, $15.00 and $18.00. You have that sat isfied feeling that you have bought at the same price as the other fellow; no more and no less, and that no where could you have ' got ten better goods for the price when you buy from us.

The very way she one time trod; She wears atfowu of ashen Kray, Her eyes are downward—bent away; Nor book, nor flower, nor Klft bears she Save but the hand glass Memory. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The woman, of leisure is truly an object of pity rather than envy. To her life is but one continuous round of efforts to enhance the time-killing procesn. Given over to enjoying mere existence, she experiences no incen tive to usefulness and drifts on day by day with no ambition, no plans, no goal beyond the confines of her daily domestic routine and the weekly schedule of society events. As a con sequence, her opportunities to do good and for self-advancement go un recognized. It was not intended that we should drift aimlessly through this life with no care as to what course our craft may pursue. Our very make-up bears out this state ment An idle brain will roam at will, inexpressible physical and men tal depression follows in the wake of continued idleness. Many of them fail to recognize the cause and the remedy for their imagined ills thus enhanced, much to their further mis ery and shame. ♦ ♦ ♦ .♦ Mrs. Fletcher Smith has gone down the country to visit Mr. Derbin Lit tlejohn.
