NOTICE
TO The Farmers of Lau-
rens and Adjoining
Counties.

Our experience for 30 years in the
stock business in this State has proven
that the time business Is not the best
system for either buyer or seller. The
losses sustained by the seller on poor
paymasters and dishonest men causes
the honest customer to have to pay too
much for his stock. The worry, ankle
ty and expense of collection, the hard
ships endured and ill-will incurred
oft times in making settlements, alto
gether make this system both objec-
tionable and undesirable to the seller,
therefore, we have decided to change
the basis OF our business to cash
system. Accordingly, we solicit the
patronage of all who have the money
with which to buy your stock this
spring. We guarantee that we will
sell you good mules and horses on the
shortest profit OF any stock ever put on
this Market thereby saving you money.
Come to see u.s..
or course, with our good customers,
of long standing, we expect yet to do
some time business; but to these, as to
the others, let us say, that money will
buy the best bargains.
On Monday, Jan. IL, 1904, we expect
to offer for sale the cleanest lot Of
stock we ever sold on the market.
This Is no fire sale, nor do we mean
our advertisement as "cheap talk"
but q sincere statement of fact and q
well-formed purpose. Come and try
us
Thanking you for your past patron
age and hoping to be able to save you
money in the future, we are,
Yours truly,
j. F. Hicks & Son.

in our little town.
The work OF the year has been won
derfully successful and we can review
with pride the years history at our
second Christmas.
The dam is built, the foundation for
the power house is laid, and the walls
Of the factory building are now rising

weeks it's constructors will unite the

great enterprise.
Many new cottages are going up, and
as they are completed they are occu-
pied by workmen who will help to build
our city.
A school has been in progress for
more than month, under the capable
management Of Miss Mona Riley, with
whom we are pleased to entrust the cul-
ture of our thirty children.
Since returning to her homo at
Riley's Miss Riley cas- been very Ill
with pneumonia, but we are glad to
state that she is better.
Our Sunday School, while not as full
as formerly, has not gone into winter
quarters, but afforded much pleasure
to the children of the place by giving
to them very pretty Christmas tree
on Christmas day.
We are to enjoy preaching service
on the first Sabbath of every month
during another year, which will be
conducted by Rev. w, j, Wyley, and
we hope to have occasional sermons
from other ministers.
Mr.. w. H. Medlock spent Christmas
day with his homefolks, but returned
to his place OF business and enjoyed
the remaining holidays at Ware Shoals.

More Than 200.
Notwithstanding the Strictly Moral
Influence Of the Dispensary Law, Fig
ures Show Increase Of BloOdshed.

Attorney General Gunter has COM
pleted the compilation of the criminal
statistics Of the state, comparing the
number of crimes of each succeeding
year with the one previous from 1888 to
and Including 1908. The comparison is
not encouraging. aud indeed, in some
respects it is a showing that must give
all law abiding citizens cause for Sc
rious concern over the seemingly in
creasing tendency to lawlessness.
The crime of murder shows an awful
record, there being 222 cases Of mau-
slaughter reported for 1903. This re-
cord was exceeded in 1897 when there
were 225. In 1900 there was the same
number. Mr.. Gunter is preparing a
comparative table as to manslanghter
in other sta and the deplorable fact
has develops nat we lead. In North
Carolina last year there were Oh such
cases aud they thought that fearful
record; bus how insignificant 1t is COM
pared with our own.

bar OF crimes of various classes COM

Mr.. l.. o. Russell was severely
burned on the face and hands as he
rushed into the room of his father and

doomed.
Mr.. Dagnall lost everything. His
stock of goods was insured for $500.
Mrs. Emmie Russell saved the piano
and trunk or 30. Her house had $500
insurance. Mr.. Roundtree saved most
of his stuff. The store and residences
were the property OF Robert Lee Rus
