Mrs. Agnes Scott having rented her residence in the northern part of the city, also jher farm near by it, will soon move to the Schirmer cot tage on Victoria Ave. Limestone Lodge No. 74 K of P will hold its regular commucation on Monday Dec. 2<> at which time officers will he elected to serve for the follow ing year. Let every members he pres ent. W. Sam Lipscomb is one of the fair-minded men who opposed the new county but has acquiesced to the will of the majority. Would that the opposition had on its side more like him. Rev. W. T. Thompson has just finished painting his dwelling on Vic toria Avenue. The colors have been selected with good taste and the work- well done, which makes it an orna ment to the Avenue. W. T. Thompson sold the first bale of cotton in Cherokee county. It was bought by R. S. Lipscomb for the Gaffneny Manufacturing Com pany was classed as good middling and brought 7jf cents. They tell it on Uncle Pompy Ned Lipscomb that he became so excited that ho voted his registration cir- tificate instead of a No ticket. We can’t say that he did do it but that’s what tho hoys are telling on him. It is against the city ordinance to shoot lirecrackers in tho city limits, so the little boys had better not shoot them, for if they do the police will have to put them up. We don’t want to see any of our hoys in the guardhouse. Moses Wood’s new residence on Rutledge street is now in tho hands of the painters and will soon he ready to move into. It is on a beautiful site and when finished will be one of t he handsomest buildings in the capi ta! of Cherokee county. .1. G. Galloway & Son have the contract to cover tho Florence mill at Forest City, N. C. They sent a force of men and a car load of tin plate to that point last week. The com pany may rest assured that Jim and his boys will do a first class job. Work is progressing rapidly on the new Presbyterian Church. The brick work on it is by far the best that has yet been done in the capital of Cherokee county, and when finished, will be one of the hand somest buildings in the Piedmont section of tho State. There will he a Literary and Musical entertainment given by the pupils of tho Gaffney Male and Female Semi nary on Tuesday night Dec. 22 at their hall, under the directions of Prof. W. L. Johnson. There will be no admis sion fee. The public is invited. Miss llird Crawley and the Amutuer Or chestra will assist. Dr. Seltlemcycr is confined to his bed with an attack of fever. The doctor wanted to vote for the new county so bad that he sent a request to the managers to take the box to his homo in order to allow him to vote, hut they couM not do that, so he did not get to vote. His many friends will take the will for the deed, however, and give due credit for his I patriotism. Last Tuesday night a week ago while our citizens were celebrating the new county election some dirty scoundrel took occation to maltreat a horse belonging to David Hawkins, which hud been left tied in one of the hack tots. We hope the animal may recover as it would be a great loss to Dnvo if it should die. Its a mighy mean man who would try to avenge himself on a poor innocent dumb brute and if tho guilty party could ho discovered he should be dealt with to the full extent of the law. • We went to see the talking machine at Masonic Hall Manday night. There was u fair sized audience present. In fact the “standing room only” sign should have been put up, us all the seats were taken and a number stood up. It was just like a hundred other phonographs we have seen, a wonder ful machine, it is true, but getting very common. It is a pity, however, that people who pay to see and hear entertainment of this kind cannot bo permitted to get the wortli of their money without being annoyed during the entire exhibition by the disgrace ful conduct of a few “Smart Alecks” who keep up an incessant chatter. Electric Power. Anderson’s enterprise and sturdy self-reliance are forcibly illustrated by the fact that a homo company is now at work putting up an extensive electric plant on Seneca River, ten miles from the city to supply power to manufacturing industries here in town, and a contract was made at tho outset to furnish the Anderson Cotton Mills 1,200 horse power at $15 per horse power per year. The force of this illustration can bo seen when contrasted with the fact that the Buffalo Railway Company, of Buffalo, N. V., has recently contracted with the Niagara Falls Tower Company for 1,000-horse power, for which it is to pay $.‘1(5 per horse power per year In other words, an Anderson, manufacturing company can get its electric power from an Anderson power company at $15 per horse power, whereas a Buffalo enterprise finds it to its interest to pay $W) for like power to an outside corporation. The whole South would do well to watch Anderson and follow her example—Anderson Journal. Gaffney is within half the distance of as fine water power on broad River as there is In the state. If it will pay Anderson to invest in the above enterprise it will he well for our capitalists to begin to look to our nearby water fall for the power that is already needed by this city and Blacksburg. As well us that which new enterprises in both cities will soon require. • — Election Aftermath. In last week’s Ledger we said: “Joe Allen’s went against us by 20 to 2. Again we lift our hat to the two patriots.” We can’t exactly explain why wo said “Joe Allens” when we should have said “Jim Allens” and we don't know how in the world we come to say it went against us by 20 to 2, when it went in our favor by those figures. Wo don’t drink—not even hard cider—but we must confess wc were intoxicated at the result, so we apologize to those two who voted against us for calling them patriots and putting them in tho wrong light and to the twenty six who voted for it we can only say : “Forgive us boys, we were not re sponsible because of our jubilation.” —— — -*•*- —— — — A New County Dinner.

Second, ou^’peo- ple need goods, both staple and holiday. We at last have/pre- pared for a big trade and propose to get it. On what (lo we base our faith? Fair crops and the good sense of the Cherokee County people. A Presidential year lias always been considered a hoodoo on business. That is true, but by whom? For the most part the confirmed croaker or ne’er-do-well, the politician who predicts calamity as the result of the other side winning, and the idler who never made a success of anything in his life. Has it not been so in every campaign that you remember? What a grand excuse for a lazy man to relinquish the little energy ho has and wait for the thing to be settled. All of our elections are ‘ovei^ the brains and muscle of this new county whether they beift counting room, field or factory arc not worrying over the result now, as we have the new county. The side that is right in the past election will prevail and those who differed honestly will join in sustaining the verdict. We extend to both a cordial wel come to come in and sample our hospitality and inspect our goods. Call for what you want if you don’t see it, as our store is so full we can’t show everything. Our Christmas goods are now in. The handsomest lot of cut-glass and hand decorated bottles filled with the best extracts of perfumes ever offered on this market, also an unsurpassed lot of plush and celluloid Xmas goods. Come in and see them. Wo have something to suit all. We have no trash this year, but something that will last and be of some service. We are running against the dispensary now, that is we are dispensing Hot Soda. You will find Beef, Clara, Coffee or Chocolate stimulating on a cold day.
