A large part of the trade in Gaffney last week was from the east side of Broad river. Mies Leila Thackston has accepted a position as saleslady with J. R. Tolleson & Co. The four rural free delivery mail routes that go out from Gaffney are i in full operation now. Wednesday was the first rainy day we have hid in a long time. The ground was too wet to plow yester- j day. There was not much cotton in town Wednesday. The local buyers fol lowed other nearby towns up to 10 12£. James R. Littlejohn has bought the large farm on Pacolet river, known as “White Hills,” from R. 8. Cook and Wm. Mabry. Our subscribers who live on the free delivery routes will confer a favor upon us by letting us knov which route they live on. We are pleaded to learn that Mrs. J. J.
