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.

A Youth.
Tuosday Mra. L. B. 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.

A Valuable Seed Kook.
Every one who has a garden or
farm should write to T. W. Wood &
Sons, Richmond, Va , for theirdSeed
Book for 1903. It is beautifully got
ten up and well printed, and is really
a comp ete hand book of information,
both for the garden and farm. It is
peculiarly valuable to our southern
growers, as it gives practical infor
mation about the seeds best adapted
to our own section.

Your Gun May be Loaded, but We Do the Shooting!
Though you might shoot, we kill the bird. Though your goods may be cheap, they won’t give satisfaction,
It is a well known fact that we do not advertise any trash. We can’t afford it. If we dealt with jobbers and handled seconds we,
too, could afford to offer cheap trash to the public. But y/e have found by many years’ experience that honesty is the best policy, so
we prefer to deal with you honestly, give you Good Goods for your money. Come to our store when you are in town; make our
place your headquarters and examine our Goods, compare them with the worthless trash that you have been buying from those cheap
stores and see how you have been throwing your money away. We guarantee our Goods to give perfect satisfaction in every re
spect. Our motto is to sell you all the Goods we can, but we only charge one very low honest price. We now supply Gaffney and
half of Cherokee county.
