We doubt if you
will realize the
blessing of thirst
unless you refresh
yourself with our
soda. People have
been trying to im
prove o n bever
ages ever since
Noah’s time, and
all the progress
which has been
made in the right
direction is exem
plified at ourf oun-

the popular foun-

They are made
right and served

A Large Number See Little Alice
Christened by Father Kassar.
The Syrian circle of Gaffney is very
circumscribed, but those who reside
here have won the esteem of all good
citizens, therefore it was not surpris-
ing f that Mr. and Mrs. S. R. Suber
should have a large number of friends
ip attendance upon the interesting
event of the christening of of their
little daughter. Alice, which took nlace
Sunday afternoon. As a matter of
fact, the ceremony was interesting for
those in attend ice, although every
thing was in Greek to a majority of
the assembly. After the guests had
assembled the candles were lighted
| and Father Kassar bade the God-
j mother and God-father, Mrs. Farhartt
j and Mr. Kondwres. take their po-
j sitions, while he read the ceremony
and performed the duty of annointing
! with holy oil and water. The little
J lady, although but three and a half
I months old, behaved in a seemly man-
s nor and only once during the ceremo-
| ny did she show her disapproval by
I crying out.
At the conclusion of the ceremony
Messrs. Walter Baker and Paul Mor-
I gan took snap-shots of the assembly,
i after which the invited guests were
I conducted into the dining room, where
i a splendid spread awaited them. The
j menu contained many thins’s foreign
j to the Americans present, but from
the manner in which the viands dis
appeared it made no difference. We
j admit our inability to describe the
' various dishes, but confess that we
i did our share towards decreasing the
! contents of the table.
In addition to the Gaffney friends
i of Mr. and Mrs. Suber, there were
! present friends from Florence, Spar-
| tanburg and Greenville.
Father Kassar is a most interesting
personage. He is exceedingly well
educated, speaking seven different lan
guages. He lias been in this country
but seven months and speaks English
very well. Twelve times he was ad-
| milted to audience with Pope Leo lie-
I fore the latter’s death. To be admit-
'tod to-audience with the Pope is a
distinction and honor that few enjoy.
In conversation with a Lodger repre
sentative lie said that America was
the best country that he knew and
that this was greatly due to the com
mon sense ideas that prevailed here.
All present hope that. Mr. and Mrs.
Suber may live to enjoy
christenings.

DEPARTMEN
Some men never overlook an oppor
tunity to make fools of themselves.
Believing.
There are a lot of people in Gaffney who have to be shown before
they believe. There is a reason for this. We think it is because
the people have been fooled so much they haven’t confidence in
our advertising until they come and see for themselves. For in
stance, one merchant advertises that he is overstocked, or the
house shipped him more goods than he ordered and in order to re
duce stock he will for the next ten days sell them at cost, and
you go around to get a bargain and find that he has a lot of old
stock laid out on the bargain counter, some of it probably ten or
fifteen years old and not worth twenty-five cents on the dollar, to
offer you. Of course he would be glad to get cost for it. Now
we do not ask you to believe what we say. Everyone has confi
dence in what he actually sees, and five minutes of practical dem
onstration is all that we ask you. We have a clean and up-to-
date stock of Furniture, Stoves, China and Glassware, in fact al
most everything that goes in a house. We are selling this at
COST. Our reason for doing so isjbecause we are going out of
business, and want to get rid of the stock as quickly as possible.
We are pleasing many customers every "day and will please you
if you will come to see us. All!goods sold for cash at these
