Cow Thief.
Sherman Johnson, colored, who has
already done time on the county
chuingang for cow-stealing, is again
in the toils of the law for indulging
in his favorite mode of getting a liv
ing. Some time Saturday Sherman j
was seen out on the Union road with
a yearling calf which he offered to a
man passing for $2.50. The man saw
he was offered a bargain, paid Sher
man for the celf and brought it to the
city and sold it for $4 50. Sunday
the owner, a colored man, found his
calf and claimed it and the man who
bought it from Sherman began to
look for him. Monday he found him
at the lime quarries, took charge of
him and carried him before Magis
trate Hall, who gave him a orelimi-
nary hearing and committed him to
jaii to await trial at the March term
of court.

Cobb hot and killed Pink Norman,

1,000 I^airs of Win tor JSlmos to Go at Gost!
in Shoes.
Since our last ad in The Ledger we have estimated our stock of Winter
Shoes for men, women and children, and Hnd that we have on hand of
Winter Shoes 1,000 pairs, and have but a short time to dispose of them,
so we decided on having One Solid Bargain Week in Shoes
BEGINNING DEC. I6TH AND CONTINUING TILL CHRISTMAS EVE NIGHT,
Remember that we don’t ask you even to pay freight on the pair of
shoes you buy. During this sale every pair must go at cost, for we need
the room, and the money we paid for them. We cannot afford to invest
money in Winter goods and carry them over till next Fall, so we urge
you to come early next Thursday morning, the first day of the Grand
Shoe Sale. Everyone shall be treated alike—if not satisfied your money
returned. We would give you prices on some of these slices but our ad
is too small. When you come if they are not as cheap ynd cheaper than
you can buy elsewhere in Gaffney, don’t buy.
