Officer Lloyd Austell is having lum ber sawed preparatory to erecting a handsome residence. There will be regular services at I Midway Saturday and Sunday con- I ducted by the pastor, Rev. E. G.

Gaines has removed his bot tling plant from the Birnie street | building to the Settlemyer building next door to the express office on Limestone street. Spot cotton is worth more than futures, which is something out of ; the ordinary. It is funny to see the j buyers paying 12 cents for cotton I with January futures less than 11 cents. Mr. Oscar Shanks, of Spartanburg, superintendent of the Dravo Manu facturing Company, was is Gaffney Wednesday, and says that with favor able weather he will bfe able to fur nish power within the next four or five weeks. Deputy Sheriff H. H. Lock-hart ar rested Will Bailey, colored, Tuesday for assault upon person of Spencer Martin, his father-inlaw.

Charlie White has removed his ton- soriai parlor next door to the Cresent cafe, where foe will be glad to see all of his customers. Charlie says he intends to give the same first-class service which has always character ized his shops since he has been in busisess. On January 18th, Ruby, the nine- I year-oid daughter of Mr. and Mr& W. D. Kirby celebrated her ninth birthday. About twenty guests were p -esent to wish the young lady many happy returns. The gifts were varied and costly and showed the high ap preciation which the little girl’s asso ciates hav^ for her. Delicious re- | freshments were served, and all who I were present will long remember the i happy occasion. ; The laughing, rolicking comedv of ; “Terry, the Swell,” was presented at ; the Star Theatre Wednesday evening and all who attended were delighted with the entertainment. Of course there was no plot to speak of. but there was lots of fun, and although the audience was small, the entire company did their best to please and, there was not a dull moment during the entire performance. There are some real clever people with the company and they deserve to be more liberally patronized. The farmers cotton association of Cherokee county met at the court house yesterday, and after attending to some routine business, elected of ficers, for the ensuing year as fol lows; R. C. Sarratt, president; W. C. McArthur, vice-president; A. 8. Smith, secretary; J. V. Sarratt, treas urer. The association also elected delegates to the State convention which convenes In Columbia on Feb ruary 5th as follows: W. W. Thom as, J. Eb Jefferies, W. D. Kirby, W. C. McArthur, A. S. Smith, D. C- Pain ter and J. D. Carter. Coming, FayMoux, the Hypnotist Fay s so ux, the phenomenal boy hyp notist, whose startling and weird ex hibitions In mental telepathy and hypnotism have created a furore t* cently in the capital cities of Ameri ca, hag been secured by the manager of the star Theatre for an engage ment of three nights, commencing next Monday. Fayssoux is a man of surprise. It is a common practice of this extraor dinary genius to introduce himself on his arrival in a city where he is un known by startling the community with some weird test of his astound- ing psychic forces. The hypnotic phenomenon is fanciful and eccentric at times, essaying feats that are seem ingly impossible and astonishing not only the public, but his own manager and business agents as well, by the ^a^e with which he performs appar ent niraelos. Fayssoux hag taken it Into his head to surprise the people of this city with a blindfold drive through the principal streets next Monday after noon. His drive behind a span of fiery steeds, however, Is the simplest part of the free public demonstration he proposes to give, a committee of well known citizens will participate in the test of Fayssoux’s mind read ing power. While some of the mem bers of the committee stand guard over the mental telepathist, who Is blindfolded and insolated, others will conceal In some part of the city a small object, such as a key, knife or something similar. When they re turn to the starting place they will enter a carriage with -Fayssoux and his guards. The mind reader, blind folded, will mount to the driver’s seat, and seizing the reins he will drive over the route taken by the men who concealed the object of his search. He will undertake to go straight to the binding place, and leaving the carriage, will lead the committee to the secret repository, which is apparently bnown only to them, and will uncover the hidden ob- jAt to their gaze. Other strange tests will also be given. I AS THE TWIG IS BENT J So will the tree incline. We have all seen this proverb illus trated so often that It is a wonder that we don’t heed it more. If you can teach a child the value of money and habits of thrift and saving, you may rest secure that that child will never want for money, and will achieve a financial success. Teach the lit tle one to savfi a part of the money that is given to it or that it earns. Show it how to deposit that money in a strong bank where it will be safe and where the child will learn business methods. The result is just as sure as anything can be in this world. We will welcome the small account because we know that in time it will grow to be large and valuable. Start an account with a dollar in our Savings Department, where it will earn 4 per cent, interest. |u|» RCHANTS^PLANTERS BANK -GAFFNEY.- S.C.
