SO SAYS GENIAL ARTHUR PRID- MORE. A Little Want Ad That Drew a Num ber of Answers Which Greatly Astonished the Corner Groceryman. “Wanted—A woman—Apply at a certain corner grocery.” The above appeared in The Ledger last week. That it was effective and demonstrated the value of advertising in The Ledger, our genial friend, the corner groceryman, will attest. For a long while Arthur had been saying lie was going to advertise for a wo man, so in order to have the gag on him The Ledger inserted it. Be hold the astonishment of a crowd of ladies and genilornen when they ob served on Friday morning a group of seven pretty maidens as they wended their way in gratesque eos- times to the corner grocery. The sight would have made a horse laugh. Of all the tacky rigs in the universe we believe those girls had tho \er>ly tackiest. And each one carried a recommendation._ Some carried vuliecs in which they said were their clothes. One hand a budget in a cloth on a stick ; another had a small trunk, etc., etc. Arthur was dumb founded. For once in his life ho was haeke 1. The crowd laughed and yi lied and some of the loafers nearly got tlo.vn on the floor and rolled over. For several yiinutes the corner gro- ceryman lost his speech and when lie did tinaliy recover it enougii to say tii i! the treats were on him lie was knocked almost senseless by t lie wit ly reply of one of the young ladies that "Ihoy hadn't come lor drinks, but wanted a man.” The house came very near tumbTTng down. After j erring him as long as they wanted to ihey tiled out a sad and disappointed l»t for that was one ad infliiE Ledger that was not genuine. The recommendations were signed by Mrs. McKinley, Mrs. Bryan, Mrs. Cleveland and numerous other ladies now prominent before the American public. The following are the recom mendations : This ia to certify that Bridget O.Lrieii aint much of a cook, but she can sew on a button and frill a coat sh ove, mid answers oil matriiponiu! i dvertisemtnts.

Rail way Company proposed to the citi zens of this city to build a branch of this road from Blacksburg to Gaffney on certain conditions. The conditions were that the citizens of Gaffney obli gate themselves to pay the O. R. it C. company a certain amount when the road was completed to Gaffney. It was a liberal proposition and our people accepted it, and have this week filed a bond with N.W. Hardin, Esq., attorney for said road for the full amount asked. The bond was signed by our business men, and the came names signed to the bon^ would be good for a hundred times the amount. Mis. Anna Gage, wife of Ex- Gepuiy U. S.
