THE LEDGER.: GAFFNEY, S. C., FEBRUARY 4, 1897. What They S?y About.... Harris Lithia Water: CONGLOMERATED CHEROKEE i NEW CHUCHES. Mr. J. T. Harris: Dear Sir:—I have iouml the use of the wa ter from your Lithia Spring in South Carolina ■o efficacious in the case of a young lad.' pa tient of mine, who hassuffered for years witli Diabetes, with all its different attendants, that I want to add nay testimonial to the many you already have. The patient I refer to has used the water freely at home for scarcely a month now. witli more beneficial results than from months spent at different noted lithia springs in different parts of the Tnited States, besides long continued use of the same waters at home. Other of my patients and friends are now using the same with best results, f cor dially recommend it to all suffering from similar diseases. Very respectfully yours. Thomas S. Powell. M. C>., Pres. Southern Medical College. Atlanta. Ga. “The Harris Lithia Water is. in my opinion, unexcelled for those ailments requiring the salts it contains. “Theo. Lamb. M. D., “Professor Diseases of Chest and Principal of Medicine. Medical Department. Univer sity of Georgia. Asheville, N. C.. April, 24. 1893.—An ex tended clinical use of the Harris Lithia Wa ter prompts me to the statement that 1 re gard it as one of the l»ost. if not the best, Lithia Water known to the profession. In the condition of Phosphatlc Urine, its action is marvelous. Its use in the Khcumatic and Gouty diseases afford me more comfort than either t he Buffalo or Londonderry Waters. Very truly yours. John Hey William. M. D. Baltimokb. Mil. .1line 24,1HSM. J. T. Harris, Esq., Harris Spring. S. t\: Dear Sir:—I have been using Harris Lithia Water for some time, and I will say to you that it is my opinion that the Harris Lithia Water is by far the liest Lithia Water Dial 1 have ever used, and that it has done me a great deal of good, and I think it a most val uable remedy.

C., Jan. 28, 1897: W. S. Winfreo of Spartanburg, joined Thk Lkdger list last week. There was a larger crowd of plant ers in the city yesterday than for any day for a week past. Wo regret to learn that James L, Scruggs, Esq., of the battle-ground section is confined to his home. The warm weather of yesterday served to bring a good many of the “frez-up” people out of the house. Boh Harris has moved from Chero kee to GafTney and accepted a posi tion with Capt. W. H. Richardson. Business for the past week has been the slackest known in some time, all on account of th« extreme had weather. Henry, the motive power of Thk Lkdgkk says, “The past cold spell was monsterous hard on colud people out’n wood.” Keep your eye on The Ledger. We propose to give every subscriber the worth of his dollar. Now watch and see if we do not keep oi r word. The extreme bad weather of the past few days has made local news so scarce it is almost Impossible to rake up an item with a fine tooth comb. W. H. Nobbin, of Dexter, contem plates moving to Gaffney. In fact we are told he is now winding up his business at that place with a Vi ew locating here. Should anyone who is not a sub scriber of this paper read it we would bo please to have their names. We might induce.them to spend 25c, 50c or $1.00 with us. Notwithstanding the extreme cold weather of the past week lire wood has not been in such great demand. We saw a man the other day who had hard work to dispose of a good loud of good wood. Miss Elliot Snead has a stone churn which her groat grandmother brought from Wales filled with but ter when she immigrated to this county. Tno churn is about one hundred and twenty five years old. Several parties have been fined by Mayor pro tern Jones in the past few days for not appearing as witness in a liquor case when summoned by the police. Boys you had better appear or quit patronizing the blind tigers. Town Clerk Baker and W. II. Ross were kept busy last Friday and Sat urday listing lax returns but a large number failed to return and as a consequence of not heeding the warning will have to pay the penally. One of the amusing incidents in town last week was a rabbit chase. Arthur Fridmore furnished the rabbit and Officer Lipscomb was the starter. The rabbit made a good run and fur nished amusement for a large crowd of chasers and spectators. The Ledger wants an advertise ment from every business man in GafTney. It should have them. A business that - Is worth running at all is worth advertising and ns an ad vertising medium there is no better in iliis section than The Ledger. We can improve your husineess. An inviting and interesting spot is the beautiful pine grove in front of J. I). Goudelock’s residence. The smart little house keepers have mad« it par ticularly bright with their busy little hands and although the playhouses have no occupants these cold wintry days one cannot pass by without being reminded of the happy child hood hours of the long ago. Besides the one in the Course of Con- Etructisn There will be others. The Presbyterians have set the pace in building new chuches and be fore long that congregation will be worshiping in one of the handsomest little churches in upper South Caro- lina. The building is now ready.for the roof and if Jim and his boys can have a few days of good weather it will not bo long before it will be un der cover. The interior, as well as the exterior, will be a model of its kind. The seats, lighting and fur nishing are to be of the most modern design. The building committee are to bo congratulated on their work and the church is to he congratulated on its fortunate selection of so able a building committee. The Baptist have already began to raise funds for anew church building and The Ledger is reliable informed that when that congregation builds it will build one of the handsomest churches in the South. The Methodist are also contem plating a new building. In fact we are told that the site has already been selected and that the day is not for distant when definite plans will be made to begin work. When all the churches are finished GafTney can boast of having ns fine lot of church buildings as any town its size in the South. Its is only in keeping with our progress, [however, that we should erect pretty and con venient structures for the purpose of worshiping Him who said: ‘‘Let there be light.’ stock of .at cost.
