Running Over
Vour Money
Affairs will often
disclose the fact that
you haven’t been
saving as much as
you thought. You
have earned plenty
but have spent like
wise. A man gets
rich by what he saves, not by what .ho earns. The
best and only way save it is to put your money in
a Savings Bank. The more you put in the quicker
it grows, for the INTEREST goes on unceasingly

Abe Simpson, colored, was before |

or twenty days on “the gang." The!
fine was paid. This was the only case j
in the mayor’s court during the week, j
Wm. H. Smith, president and treas-

will go to Charlotte today to attend
a banquet to lie given by the Southern

William W. Supplee, president of the |
Supplee Hardware company, of Phila
delphia.
There have been several fruit tree
agents in the city recently, with nur- j
sery stock shipped here for delivery;
hut people who gave orders in the,
spring seem to he slow in receiving
their trees. The Indications are that
a good deal of the stock will be left
over.
S. M. Jolly, of Boiling Springs, N.
C., was in the city Saturday. He is

ence brought us a specimen of the
pears he raises on his place and the
pear was just like Clarence—large and
fair to look upon. It was an ideal i
specimen.
Public Exercises at Limestone.
The band of students, old and
new, that filled the halls of Limestone,
inspired by their love of our Sunny
South, and a desire to hold in honor I
the truths that our heroes fought and
died for, were inspired to raise over |
the Winnie Davis Hall of History,
where true Southern history is so
ably taught, a Confederate flag.
Each student willingly contributed
her proportion, but this was not found
sufficient, and the Gaffney people, as
usual, readily supplied our need, for
which we wish to thank them pub
licly. A holiday will be given Decem
ber 5th for the public exercises to be
held, and The Lodge Historical Club
extends to you a cordial invitation to
be present. Let all Confederate vet
erans understand that they are es
pecially invited.
A programme of the exercises of
the day will be published in the next
issue of this paper.
Moving Machinery.
The machinery of the Supply Mill,
in this city, is being taken up for
shipment to Newark, Delaware. It
seems that the venture has not been
a paying one here, and on account of
the high freight rates It was thought
best by the owners to move the busi
ness to a better location. Mr. H. E.
Hansen, who Is In charge of the ship
ping, says he can get much lower rates
from Newark than from this place,
everything being considered.
Christmas Trees.
As the Christmas holiday season ap
proaches preparations for the happi
ness and amusement of the little folks
have been begun by the church people
of the city.
On Saturday, December 24th, at 3
P. M., there will be a Christmas tree
at Limestone Mills, and one at the
Cherokee Avenue Baptist church at
7 P. M., the same day.
