t ♦>:« In 'Watcli Selection WE STAND BETWEEN YOU AND IMPOSITION We know all about watches—the quality of the case and the quality of the works. We time and regulate every watch we sell. We guarantee every one for five years. We will look the watch over any time you call. time it and rub up the case to make it look like new. We will keep it under life-loug supervision and see that it serves you well and faithful. If you get a watch from a general store 500 miles distant, it won't be satisfactory at the start and it will be less satisfactory ever after. A 500 miles shaking and'jolting is rough treatment for a new watch, and you have no redress except to repent at leisure. We sell at the same prices as mail order houses. THOS. H.

Interesting communicatloln From Our Regular Correspondent Thickety, July 15—The recent rains have put everything to growing, and the farmers are having a time with the grass, but if these hot sunshiny days continue a few days longer they will lay by their crops clean.

Mr. Sams is bookkeeper at the Mary Louise Mills and has made quite a number of friends since coming to this place, and is looked to as a promising young man. Quite a number from this place went up to Arrowood Sunday to the dedication of the church at that place This is a new Baptist church that has just recently been built in place of the old one, and it is quite a hand- ome structure. Rev. W. M. White- sides, of Spartanburg, preached the dedicating sermon to quite a large and attentive congregation. Rev Mr. Whitesides is a good preacher, commanding the attention of those who hear him. Wishing The Ledger readers much success and hoping this will escape the waste basket, we close. C.
