D. 1^. BRICKS, ]VEg;r\ 'Holt’s Old Stand, 150 yards east oflice of Gaffney Manufacturing Company, opposite Cherokee Avenue Baptist Church. SOUTHERN HISTORY Rev. Mr. Hodge. Soon to Clone Hl» Work Here mid Oo to Other Fields. The 8outh Carolina Methodist con ference meets at dewberry next week and at that meeting, according to the rules of that much loved and power ful Christian body, the present term of the services of Rev. VV. H. Hodges in Gaffney will end, not because of any shortcomings of Mr. Hodges, but because he has served four years here, the longest time that the con ference allows one of its members to preach at one place. Mr. Hodges has been the faithful pastor of Buford Street Methodist church for four years, and in that time by bis untiring und conscien tious efforts the splendid edifice in which he and bis congregation now worship has been, built, and during all these four years he has stuck closely and rigidly to the duties of his high office, not looking to the right nor the left, and performed them in the way that he conscien tiously believed was right. Mr. Hodges is a cultivated Chris tian gentleman, a preacher of a high order and devoted to the work of his high calling, and wherever his duties may call him he and his amiable wife and dear little child will have with them the love and good wishes of their many friends in Gaffney who love him for his worth and regret to part with him because they love him. Rev. 8.0. Cantey. the pastor of Limestone Street Methodist church, is a young man and has only been with us one year, but he has im pressed our people favorably. He is well educated, is a good worker and is zealous in his work. He has dis played qualities both as a preacher and pastor rarely met with in a man of his age and we would be pleased to have him and his worthy and accom plished wife returned to us next year. Death of au Infant. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Pool, of Paco- let Mills, had the misfortune to lose their infant daughter on last Sunday. Their many friends sympathize with them in their bereavement. The little one’s remains were interred in the family lot at Oakland cemetery. To be One of the Special Teaching* of the Winnie David Hall of Hlatorjr. We wish we could properly describe the Winnie Davis Hall of History that is being built at Limestone Col lege and tell in a comprehensive way the grand purposes for which it is be ing built. It is spacious and up-to- date in architectural style. Every room and hall in it is especially de signed for some particular part of history. The history of the Southern States will be a specialty at Winnie Davis Hall, their unwritten history will be collected and taught there, and this means the women of the South will be enabled to see their own mothers and fathers, their ancestors of other generations and their works and their motives and reasons for them as they are, not as they have been scribbled off by Northern writers. At Winnie Davis Hall they will learn that more battles were fought in this, the 5th congressional district of South Carolina, than were fought all over the Northern States, where their histories and encyclopedias would have us believe they did all the fighting; that the Northern States furnished the brain and brawn of the revolution, when facts show that the Southern States did the work. Im partial history that will be taught at Winnie Davis Hall will inform our joung women of the predominating part played by the soldiers of the Southern States in the wars of 1812 and with Mexico in 1840-47. In Win nie Davis Hall will also be taught the splendid and unselfish course of Southern statesmen from the incipi- ency of the government of the United States down to the glorious days of 1801-05, when the Southern States fought the Northern States for first principles. Then Winnie Davis Hull will show our young women that glorious struggle which every true Southerner is still proud of and will transmit that pride to his generations yet unborn as it was and its causes and consequences as they are. Would that every Southern girl could drink from this rich spring of learning. Wail for Our Cut Price Sale December 11, 12, 13. $5,000 WORTH OF CLOTHING.
