RECORD BREAKER! ' With all the inclement weather, January was a record breaker with us; sales doubling i* ' ' A' those of the corresponding month of last year. This is encouraging, and we shall endeavor to vS ■ . make the short month of February even better than the past month. In order to do this we will offer SPECIAL INDUCEMENTS in every department of our store at all times. % Many new arrivals will be coming in from day to day, so be on the lookout and visit The Battery often, for the goods don’t stay here long.

Duvis, who lives a few milea west of the city, drove into the city to do some shop ping, and when she started to return to her home site found that her mule and buggy was gone. After some enquiry it was found that a white boy had driven it olT in the direction of Cowpens. Sheri! Thomas and I Deputy SherilT B S Lipscomb were soon in pursuit but soon found that the boy was several hours ahead and making good time The sherill re turned to the city to head him off by wire and Mr. Lipscomb continued ih< pursuit as far as Clifton when dark came on and left him without a track ; and Wednesday morning, after put ting different sections on guard, he returned to Gaffney. About 1 o’clock Wednesday Zeb Hicks, of 1‘acolet .Mills, drove up to the county jail and delivered the mule and buggy to the sheriff, and said his brother-in law, a small hoy by the name of Corn Moore, had driven it from here to his home at Pacolet Mills The boy saidjhe hired the team from Cline Bros., of this city. When Mr. Hicks turned over the mule and buggy, the sheriff asked him where the boy was. He said he was gone. The boy did not seem, to those who saw him on the road, to be more than twelve years old and his extreme youth may save him from the punish ment in such cases^butwe have no information* us to what course Mr. j Davis, the husband of the lady will take. A boy of his age who would do such an act should have a chectt put on him. D. J. HOLT.
