THE BIG BARGAIN
Heavily loaded with summer products, is dropping some rich offerings these summer
days at The Battery. Because from every quarter we are giving it a mighty shake
so that nothing will be leftover.
LISTED! IwISTCDIV!!
If money grew on trees and everybody had an orchard it would make no difference where you spent it, but as it is, if you
want to make your dollar stretch a long ways take it to the Gaffney Battery; because our superior purchasing power and large
sales at small profit policy bring our prices a link lower than any other mercantile house in this country. So no wonder our
low prices are continually creating consternation and raising a rumpus in the ranks of commerce. We are constantly picking
up merchandise at away under price, so keep your eye on The Battery. Every department is loaded with special bargains.

Hair Brush Talk
There is no question about good hair brushes
being the most economical kind to buy. A good
“solid back” hair brush with good bristles will
last you as long as a half dozen cheap ones. We
have an elaborate assortment of these high grade
hair brushes; you would hardly find a larger
stock in a city store and we are selling them for
25 per cent, less than you would have to pay for
them in a city. If you want the cheaper ones,
we have them too From our well selected stock
we can supply you at a low price with any grade
and style hair brush that you may want.

Some of the machinery of the newly

of the old employes of the mill who
were there before the June flood last
year are returning to their old homes
and being given employment.
A four-legged chicken has been on
exhibition at the Cherokee drug store
for several days. It was hatched on
the farm of Hon. Wm. Jefferies and
seems to be doing well, with prospects
of a long and happy chicken life.
It was reported that during one of
the hard rains last week, Mr. W. H.

away. But we are glad to learn that
it was an error and that Mr. Wright’s

Lt. Col. J. G. Wardlaw, of the First
South Carolina Regiment of militia,
which is in camp in Columbia, has re
turned to the city. Col. Wardlaw is
naturally a military man, and his ef
ficiency as an officer and general mili

bia attracted general attention and
elicited much complimentary com.-
ment.
Mrs. J. C. Allison, who accidently
fell last fall at Mr. W. J. Daniel’s
home and broke her hip, having re

shoulder. Mrs. Allison is quite an
aged lady, but we are glad that she
is standing up under her injuries very
well.
The Gaffney and Blacksburg ball
teams played a pretty game at Gaff
ney Wednesday afternoon. Both sides
played some good ball, but our neigh
bors from across the Broad were
simply outclassed and lost. The score
was 12 to 4 in favor of Gaffney. We
trust that Blacksburg will strengthen
up its team and come again, for it
now has some good hall players in it.
Old folks say that the 25th day of
July is the first dog day, and it is an
old saying that if it rains on that
day it will rain every day for forty
days. It rained on the 25th in Gaff
ney, also on the 2(;th and *27th, and
we were looking for rain yesterday
when this was written. We are going
to keep tab on the old folks and their
sayings this year and see how things
will work out.

• CONSUMPTION ^
Two Days of Recreation at Limestone
Springs.
For the past week the colored peo-
ple of Gaffney have been distributing
circulars and making big preparations
for “a grand time for the colored
people,” as announced in their circu
lars. The “grand time” announced
included among its attractions a
“great Odd Fellows barbecue” at
Limestone Springs, and began yester
day morning by the Hickory Grove
colored band marching from the de
pot to Dunton’s chapel to the tap of
the drum. The procesison was
formed at the chapel and moved
off to the Springs in splendid order
under the command of the marshals
of the day, A. Ashe, J. B. Brown and
Van Castles. And all inspired by the
strains of intoxicating music rendered
by the band, kept the step in a man
ner that showed their earnestness in
their work, and their eagerness to
reach the gate at the Springs that
Alex Dawkins was keeping.
At the Springs the annual address
was delivered to the Odd Fellows by
Prof. Allen White, of Yorkville, which
was followed by addresses from sev
eral others. All were instructive and
entertaining.
The barbecue was well conducted
rid much enjoyed. A game of ball
was played and other amusements
were engaged in.
We forgot to state in the outset
that Will Petty was the master of
ceremonies, which he said would be
run to have everything carried on
right, and at this writing we hear
that the best of order is prevailing.
The program calls for several events
today which well be reported in our
next issue.
Union Men Meet.
The Carpenters and Joiners Union
of this city held an open meeting in
their hall last Monday evening, which
was presided over by the president,
Mr. Joe Gaffney, and to which a num
ber of friends were invited and en-
terta’ned in a handsome manner.
Addresses were made by Rev. W. T.
Thompson, L. Baker and others. Light
refreshments were served, and every
event of the evening was much en
joyed. The whole affair was so pleas
ant that those present congratulated
themselves on their good fortune.
Working Night and Day.
The busiest and mightiest little
thing that ever was made is Dr.
King’s New Life Pills. These pills

lessness into energy, brain-fag into
