*4 FORMAL OPENING OF FALL HATS Tuesday and Wednesday, OCTOBER 4 & 5 MISS STEVENS: A general 'welcome during these Opening Days. If we fail to reach you with a card it will be an oversight, and not intentional No restrictions against Milliners. Come. Tuesday and W ednesday, OCTOBER 4 & 5 A collection of Millinery that includes exclusive models by Foreign and American designers, together with the cleverest creations of our own Milliners. The Millinery Exhibition has been planned to rival any previous display. It is our determination to give more beautiful Hats than ever for the money—hats that will distance all competitors; hats that for richness, becomingness and style will have no peer. The new color schemes of the season have much to do with making our Millinery unique. A dozen different whims have given us the beautiful combi nations on these Hats, indescribably bold and dashing, or faint and alluring. Flame colors, Coque de Ruche, Terra Cotta, Nasturtium, down to the Smoulder ing reds and Somber Greys. But there are also new shapes. Crowns are higher to go with full skirts and large sleeves, and brims are wide. The Trimming is high in front, yet many people will wear what to them is the most becoming, so you will find Low Crowns and Small Shapes. Trimmings of Coque and Paradise Feathers have taken London and Paris by storm. Taffeta Hats are in again with every sort of sherring and tucking. Chinnelles were never better. Nodding Plumes and Softest Chiffon with Velvets make the Richest and most Beautiful Headgear. The Hats by our own Milliners have missed none of the new points brought by Models from Paris. Hand work plays a larger part in Millinery than it has for years. A Vi :t y GOING TO The Star Clothier FOR BARGAINS In Clothing, Shoes, Hats, Ladies* and Gents’ Furnishings.

Lipscomb is having his resi dence wired to put in electric lights. Delayed material seems to be de laying work on the National Bank building. There were small receipts of cot ton on this market yesterday. It sold for 10:25. There will be the usual prayer meeting service at Buford St. Metho dist church tomorrow evening at 8 o’clock. Rev. L. C. Ezell filled his regular 1 appointment at Limestone Springs Baptist church Sunday. He paid The 1 Ledger an appreciated visit Saturday ; afternoon. The banks of Gaffney have decided ' to keep open until 5 o’clock every afternoon during the cotton season, or until January 1st, in order to ac commodate the farmers who may sell their cotton on this market. There is a dispute between Con stable Moore and Mr. W. J. Maness about the stuff taken by Moore from Maness some days ago. Moore says it was “beerino” and Maness says it was pinder punch. We leave it with them. Little Isabel Porter celebrated her fourth anniversary on Friday, Septem- j ber 23rd, at the home of her parents. | Mr. and Mrs. Jones Porter. Plenty ; of good things were prepared to feast upon and all the little folks had a nice time. Bishop Isom, who contracted ty phoid fever in Spartanburg about five weeks ago, and came to the home of his father, Rev. J. N. Isom, in this city, to be treated, we are glad to state has recovered and returned to his post of bookkeeper at the Argyle ! Mill to go to work, i The farmers brought cotton to the city rapidly last week. A consider able number of bales were sold every day, at prices ranging from 10:25 to 10:75. Friday and Saturday were the big days when about 300 bales were sold. While the farmers regret when they fail to get top prices, none of them are complaining while the price is above ten cents, and while the price is ten and above they will continue to market their crops. But just let the price drop below ten cents, then the receipts will surely become smaller, for if we are not badly mis taken, our farmers are going to hold for ten and their ability to do so will surprise the consumer. Business in Gaffney was positively j never better in any season than it is now. Our streets are full of country [ people every day and the stores are thronged with customers, all buying goods and in most instances paying cash for them. The merchants who have been selling goods on time tell us that their customers are paying right up, and are paying cash for all goods they are buying now. This is a great improvement on conditions in Gaffney two years ago, when most of the goods were sold on time and many small farmers were unable to meet their obligations with the pro ducts of a year’s hard work of them selves and families. It is different now and we feel thankful for the change. Col. Wardlaw Resigns. At a meeting of the directors of the Gaffney Manufacturing Company held in the office of the company yester day, Col. J. G. Wardlaw tendered his resignation as secretary of the com pany, which was accepted, and Mr. Wm. M. Webster was elected to suc ceed him. Mr. Webster has had long experience in the mill business, office ; work in particular, which equips him well for his new dutise; besides he has a bright mind, is full of energy and has a splendid address. We are not informed as to Col. Wardlaw’s intentions, but he is ac knowledged to be one of thefore- most mill men in the State and w r e do not look for him to be out of the business long. His friends here hope for him to organize a new mill com pany and build another mill in Gaff ney. s c , CURES WHERE All ELSE FAILS. | Bast Cough Syrup. Tastes Good. Use In time. Sold by druggists.
