PARKS Where Nesbit Kan the Cherokee Works. The Spnrtnnbuip correspondent of the Nows und Courier in the issue of the 14th inst., writes ns follows: As to tho new county of Limestone the proper name lias been suggested. That is a historic place. About 1822 to 1830 ipi iron manufacturer by the name of Nesbitt bad charge of the Cherokee Ford Iron Works. It was hardly considered safe for people to live on the river during tho summer. Mr. Nesbitt in looking around for a summer homo selected the place where the famous hotel was built sev- I think his name Nesbitt. Ilewasaprom- i incut man and his descendants are, ! perhaps, in CJeorgia now. He first ! built a two-story log house, which i was afterwards added to and im proved. Attention was soon called to the beautiful location, tho big spring, or springs, for there were sev eral of them, and the large beds of marble and limestone. About 1830 tho hotel was projected I and it was built a few years later. It was a joint stock concern. The run l of custom was wonderful, considering that all guests, however far they came, rolled in on wheels, or rode on | horseback. For two or three years j they held high carnival there for about three months. The company broke and the hotel ceased to draw j crowds. For six or eight years it was kept nominally open, hut did not pay ! interest on the investment. The property fell into the hands of the llunk of the State, I think, and Dr. i Thomas Curtis and son bought it in j 1844 or 1845. The war closed the ! school. The property changed hands a time or two after the war. The old ! hotel is now the property of the I>ap- | lists of this county, and they are car- • { rying on a good and prosperous fe male school there under the presi- Such is the is to give name to the new county. Tho big spring is about a mile and a half from the town of Gaffney, which is to he the county site. Gaffney is on a ! high ridge, or rather plain, with land : gently sloping in several directions. It is nearly in the centre of the new i territory and is admirably situated for a county seat. Fat Men Hade Lean!

Jt will cost nothing to look at them, hut as they arc curios- Ldit'S you may ho benefited. They are handsomely decorated elegantly and artistically designed, and if you see fit to carry one of these visitors home with you, it is alright. They have gone to many a lady’s house and you never had a better friend visit you than one of these. They visit the best of families and you would not have one of them leave for anything. Now we will toll what the above is. It is nothing more than some more of those Standard Sewing Machines. We have them in Antique Gale, Syca more, Ash and Maple woods, which has the appearance of piano furni ture. The cover and drawers are of the special, celebrated bentwood and the shelves are metal, nicklo plated in front. They also have a new set of steel attachments, different to anything you ever saw. If you buy a Standard you will re ceive careful instructions from a compident teacher at your home. Sold on easy payments by W. 1). LIPSCOMB & BUO. Gaffney, S. C. No Argument in This. One pretended argument used against the formation of a new county is that the amount pledged for the public buildings by tho citizens of Gaffney is insufficient. We beg to submit the following in reference thereto: Blacksburg. S. C., Oct. 1G, 1890. EJ. 11. DeCamp, Gaffney, S. C: “I was one of the hoard of county commissioners that built tho court house at Yorkville. The Spratt Ma chine Co., of Fort Mill, had tho con tract to build the court house. The contract was hid off at $9,974, but we made some cuts on the holding and got the main building for $9,200. I have not got the dimensions.” Respectfully, E. R. Safocii. Anyone who lias ever visited York ville will be compelled to admit that her court house is not only archi- tectually beautiful, hot that it has all the modern conveniences. Gaff ney will furnish one equal, if not su perior to it. If you doubt the authenticity of the above statement, call on us; we have Mr. Sapoch’s letter on file. Unclaimed Letters.

Davis, who lives about five miles west of this city had a dog to bite a hog about September 1st. He feared the dog was mad so killed it. Last Wednesday tho hog showed unmistakable evide’j^co of hy drophobia. It would bite and attack everything in its path. Finally it got hold of a buggy spring and had to he beaten oil with a stick. Mr. Davis was forced to kill the hog, using an ax for tho purpose. Other Local hews on Pages 7. Xton’s XJiTclei'sliir’ts from spool "i v'cntii to sl.a). Ollii'r tiiin - iiliwisi 1 .
