The wise housewife specifies Cottolene every time in place of lard.
Anyone with a particle of respect for his stomach would prefer a pure
vegetable prod'''Jc to one made from hog fats. Cottolene is always pure;
lard isn’t Cottolene will make mye palatable food than lard, and food
that any stomach can digest with ease. Lard is a friend of indigestion.
Cottolene is put up in odor-proof sealed tin pails ; lard comes in bulk
and will absorb any old odor which is near it.
You can prove every word we say by buying and trying a pail of
Cottolene. All good grocers sell it; all the great cooking authorities of
America recommend it ...
USB $$ LESS. Cottolene being richer than either lard or cooking
butter, one-third less is required

company with Mr. I. W. Phillips and
Mr. J. W. Alien, left Giffney fori
tome. It seems that soon after start- j
l ing some trouble arose among them
ver some whiskey, which was kept
up as far down the Union road as the
Alien Jefferies place. Mr. Phillips

that Brown left the wagon and went
ff across one of the ffrries fields
a id has not been seen nor heard of
-if ee. Mr. Phillips also stated that
i* and the others were drunk.
Brown’s hat was found in the road

, where there were appearances of
considerable scuffling. There has
teen some hunting for Brown in the
it-ighborhood and Tuesday morning
VrB.|Brown reported the occurrence

Some
People Think |
that all drug stores are very
much the same. How un
just that is; as there is a dif
ference in lawyers and a dif
ference in doctors, so there
is a vast difference in drug
gists. Some carry the best
drugs and some don’t, some
do skillful prescription work
and some don’t,some are ex
tremely careful about check
ing and safe-guarding every
precautions part of the work,
while others are not at all
careful. When you have a
prescription filled at our store
you can depend that is filled
just as the doctor wishes it to
be" filled, that none but the
best and finest medicines are
used,that it is filled by a man
legally qualified to fill pre
scriptions, and that the price
is nghW and reasonable in
every respect
We invite your prescription
trade, and assure satisfaction
in every particular.

At the solicitation of many friends I an

went to
neighborhood VVedneeflay morning,
out whs unable to get any further
'acts in the case than those which
v» re given us by Mr. Phillips, as
-itHted above.
As in every similar case, opinions
n the neighborhood differ. Some
hink that Brown became frightened
in the row and has run off. while
others think that he was killed. Mrs.
Brown thinks that he is dead. Fur
ther investigations will be made.
Death of Mr. Allen Jefferies,
Mr. Wm. Allen Jefferies, second
son of the late Cupt. John R. Jeffer
ies, died at his home about four miles
below the city Tuesdayjevening at 7
o’clock, after a long illness, in bis
thirty-fifth year, and was buried in
the family lot at Elbotbel church
Wednesday. The funeral services
were conducted by the Rev. F. C.
Hickson.
Mr. Jefferies was of one of the pio
neer families of this section, which
has been prominent here from the
first settlement of the country. He
was a mamber of the First Baptist
church, a kind husband, good
neighbor, a successful farmer and
a citizen of sterling worth. He
leaves bis wife, who wa a Miss Kate
Goudeiock, a daughter of Mr. Wm.
L. Goudeiock, his mother, several
brothers and several sisters, and
numerous other relatives and friends,
to mourn their loss, and they are
joined in their sorrow by all our peo
ple by whom Mr. Jefferies was held
in high esteem.
A Valuable Catalogue.
Wood’s seed hook for 1904 has
been very carefully compiled, and is
unquestionably the best business
seed catalogue issued, giving the
most valuable up to date information
about all garden and farm crops.
Wood’s catalogues are always
chock full of iuformtion which farm
ers and gardeners especially appreci
ate. and we don’t believe that there
is another publication, than the re
spective issues of their catalogue
that has exerted such a wide infiu
enoe iu giving farmers and garden
ers correct knowledge as to the best
crops to grow in the south.
The Broad River Association.
The executive committee of the
Broad River Association met this
week in the First Baptist church of
this place.
A conference of the pastors of the
Baptist churches of the association
was organized and will meet in the
First church on the Monday after
each first Sabbath at 10:30 a. m
The first meeting will be held in
March and the churches are requested
to urge their pastors to be preseut.
The committee also elected Dr.
Simms to fill the place on the mission
committee made vacant by the de
parture of Rev. A. C. Cree to Ken
tucky.
