12 THE WEEKLY LEDGER: GAFFNEY, S. NOVEMBER 21, 1895. The Bee Hive TARVER-ANTHONY. Af- W E , COMMENCED HERE JUST TWELVE months ago, strangers in a strange land, with grit, hustle, experience and SPOT CASH to do business. Our bomb shells have set up the war whoop as we hear on all sides, and the folks somehow crowd our way. They are bound to come, we do the pocketbook good every time. More goods for less money than ever sold in business records. Stacks and stacks of goods every day. Examine the freight books and see who is moving the goods. When we claim to be the cheapest store in Gaffney it’s no idle talk, as stubborn facts can’t be disputed. One year ago we started with a partition in the middle of the house, feeling our way as we went. Now the partition is out, the wires of a cash system is spread over the house, it is filled from front to back door with piles of goods at hard time prices. Did you ever come to our store when we were not crowded with eager buyers? We try to see how cheap we can sell you stuff. We’re Fishing for your trade and we are using the best bait we can find—good reliable stuff at lower prices than you ever paid. We do not promise to give you a five dollar shoe for one dollar, not at all, but we do promise to give you a better shoe for the money than you ever bought be fore. Just received, one case of Zeigler Bros’ Twentieth Century* shoes for ladies, in Ia:e, sizes from 2 to 6. They are beauties ot the latest fad. See them in our show window. We sell the best shoe for $ 1.25 found in the city. Ladies’ fine shoes from 73c to $2.98. Men’s fine shoes in lace or gaiter 98c, $ 1.25, $ 1.98, $2 25, $3.25, $4.85, any price to suit your pocketbook. Men’s coarse shoes 75c, 83c and a good heavy one worth $ 1.25 we sell at 98c.

For anything in Clothing, and Gents' Furnishings CALL ON i A Quiet Home Marriage Tuesday terncon. Tuesday afternoon at the home of the bride’s parents on Limestone Ave nue in the presence of a few friends Miss Fleda Anthony and S. O. Tarver were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. Rev. C. K. Robertson, of the Presbyterian chucrh, performed the ceremony. Mr. Tarver is a wholesale merchant in the city of Rirmini'ham, Ala., and is well connected, while Miss An thony is .one of (lufTnoy’s most charming yount; ladies and has a host of friends who will regret to lose her. The rouple left on the 4:20train for Chariotte, where they will take ' he Charlotte, Columbia and Au gusta train for Augusta fora few lays and thence to the exposition md from there to their future home, Itirmingham. The well wishes of the many friends of the young couple attend them. • ► Prof. Gamewell’s Lecture. It is seldom that an audience in (jraflney enjoys such a literary treat is that afforded us by Prof. Game- well’s lecture Friday tiiuht last. The Prof, came by invitation of the literary club and delivered one of his most charming lectures to a large and appreciative audience. The subject of his lecture was “The better side of Roman life and charac ter.” The club has been studying Roman history for the past few week, which made a lecture on this subject of es pecial interest. The historians writ ing of Rome, tell us more of the cruel ties of the past age, of crimes com mitted, blood shed, etc., but in this lecture Prof. Gamewell spoke of the work by the literary men of Rome, telling of the affectionate letters left by such men as Pliny and Seneca. The industry, perseverance, labors of these writers was spoken of at length, thus calling to mind more of the good things that pertain to the eter nal city in contrast with the deeds of i he tyrant Nero. The club and public in general en- ' joyed the lecture and hope the Prof, j '•an find it convenient to return and j favor us again. Mrs. Gamewell accompanied th* Prof, which only made the occasion more enjoyable. Dr. Miller, the president of the dub, presided with his accustomed grace. — — Smoking Bee Hives. Last Friday our friend, John Pain ter, who lives near Midway, invited The Lkdgku to go home with him and spend the night, as he intended to rob the bee gum the next morn ing. so The Ledgek and John got into the “carryall,” as John designates his wagon and away to the rual dis tricts we went. On arriving we wen made welcome by the better-half of ' he hou <ehold and all t he lit t le Paint - rs. Aftera nice supper the youn, ladies played several selecti ms oe the organ and then we chatted until the hour of bedtime. Bright and early the next morning our host aroused us from a peaceful slumber and we went out to enjoy anothe- good meal. Then came the honey gathering. Everbody on tne place was interested and before it was fin ished everybody had a great chunk of honey comb in their hands munch ing it. John has an interesting household and he is a good farmer, but The Ledger is decidedly of the opinion that Mrs. John Painter is as good a farmer as he is and that much of his success is due to her en ergy and pluck. May they both live long to enjoy many honey gatherings. John brought us back in the buggy and it was decidedly better riding than in the •‘carryall.” « -«• — • ^ Borrowed the Watch! Ozro Cooper stopped with his Uncle Matthew Amos, who lives in the western outskirts of the city, Iasi Saturday night a week ago. During the night thieves reached in at, the window and got his clothes and rifled the pockets, taking some mo. ey and a gold watch. Ozro’s father. D. W, Cooper, made some inquries about the matter which evidently reached the ears of the miscreant, as nn last Thursday morning the watch was found in the same window from which the clothes were taken. It was running on time. The money, however, was not returned. Mr. Cooper thinks he has a clue to the thief and if the money is returned he promises not to push the matter fur ther. Fires Near Us. The many friends of Isaac Smith, of ihickety. regret that his house was accidentally burned on the I7lh Inst., hut are glad that it was par tially insured. Mr. Smith will re build at once. He and family are at present living in this city with his daughter. Mrs. Edna Easterly. W v are also pained to chronicle the burning of Mr. Case's dwelling near Thickety on the 19th inst. Mr. Case’s loss was heavier as he had no insurance. Mr. Case’s house was known as the old “Apple Jack” place and was a large building. “May the winds he tempered to the shorn lambs.” • «*»«» • An OU House.
