I Mump Pridnion* has been fooling | with the weather again. He predict-1 | e ( j Friday that we would have a wa-m spell. As a matter of course the] I weather has Imen waxing colder ever ! since. i Walter Lipscomb, colored, who lias | sentences on the public works of the I county aggregating thirty-nine months, escaped from the gang just before : night Saturday, hut was captured at ! the “Swamp Rabbit” trestle bv Super- j visor Lipscomb at b:10 the same i night. Felix is a good one. One of the delegates who has been ; lodging with Bro. J. H. Turner made j a narrow escape. The said delegate aske,j some of the neighbors if Mrs. Turner was not a widow. As soon ug J. H. heard it lie loaded his old shot gun and laid for the delegate, hut was persuaded by some of his friends to let him off. One of the delegates to conference | said to ids host that he had been all over the State, to various chu h | meetings, etc., and that the students of Limestone College were the pretti- ! cst lot of girls which he had seen. Of i course we knew before that the Lime- | stone girls were the prettiest in the j State, but we did not know that it , had been noticed by others. At the Edison. Tli** subjects on exhibition at the J Elisoii Electric Theatre for tonight and tomorrow night are the following: Illustrated song. ‘‘Good-bye, Dearie,” “Hooligan’s Idea, or A Daring Rob- bery;" moving pictures, “Dream Fan cies.’’ which is pronounced by those who have seen it as being wierd and artistic. The concluding film is call ’d “A Chase for a Mother-in-law,” pos sibly of the most laughable mov ing pictures ever shown in Gaffney. Mr. Buckingham, the new proprie-. tor. has made the price of admission for the opening week five cents to all. His aim is to make his enter tainments not only clean and amus ing, but also educational. He desires, if possible, to keep the price of ad mission at five cents, so that it will be within the reach of everybody to see these pictures as they are changed regularly twice a week. In order to do this, and to maintain and build up this amusement feature, he solicits the patronage of the best iieo- ple and of all the people. The German balloon won the dis tance race.with the French airship second. A Play Upon Names. In studying the names of the ■ preaoherg who have dwelt among us for the past week, we are struck | with the suggestiveness of their | names. They have come to us from the Bays of the coast, the Farr reaching Meadors of the lowlands, the Banks o» th« long winding rivers, the Mills of tli. Piedmont, the Knowles of the sand hills, and some from Noland at all. They have not come unprepared for the emergencies that may arise. A Baker is on hand to prepare the food the Miller grinds; a Barber to shave the Beard, a Chandler to fur nish supplies, with a Campbell to ! cany them, and a Porter to assist. ' Should they thirsty grow, the Wells ; have a never-failing supply. Should the itinerant become Weary by the Way, he Counts on the Booth made from the Rountree, under whose Roof he may Wait, a Sojourner j until the sun’s warm Ray Burns with Power and th<' morning Winn breathes ■ softlj thro’ the Wood.

For fear of the Fowler and Hawkes | the Martins fly away to the Barnes. The Child could not Guess what the Btown Elks were, as they came on a Rush (ton» through the Nettles. The Young Tiller went forth, bear ing in a White Polk a Single-ton of Turnipseec.*. to plant on Friday, which I the Peeler hoped in due time to Peele with Hook and Speer.. The Blackman Marshalled the Workman, who seemed to he the Wright Mann to fill the Stackhouse with Grout. It finally proved that they did not Merritt a Penny a day, as their j strength began to Wayne before the Major part of their task was done. Owen to such circumstances, not to Speake Moore at length, they needed j a Derrick, a Rope(r), or a Barre. The Dukes enraged Attaway, the Mason was Huggin the Taylor, while someone Holler(ed) to the Smith, In Justice to all concerned, to separate them. “Weldon," cried the bishop, as h'- leveled his Gatlin gun and laid the slow Walkers in their Graves. MONEY IN HAND Every one who has any experience la lid world of business affairs knows the value o< "money in hand,” or available cash To some people this means money in the pocket, but to the shrewd man It means money la the bank because he knows that he is liable to be robbed or meet with some accident whereby his money may be lost but when the money is deposited In bank it is absolutely safe and yet just as avail able as though carried on his person. The power of money In the pocket is limited to its face value, but money in the bank establishes a cred it which is often larger and more valuable than the money Itself. If you want to get the most benefit from your money, deposit it In this strong bank, where it will be safe and help your credit. We pay 4 per cent, in terest on savings and time deposits.
