It is very often that the most insig nificant symptoms are forerunners of the most violent disease. There is not a more destructive disease than Cancer, and in a majority of cases it is first indicated by a very small scab or sore, to which no attention is at tracted, until it before long develops into most alarming conditions. Here is such a case, where the first symptoms were too small to be noticed for quite a time. Mr. J. B. Arnold be longs to one of the oldest and best families of Carolina; he is well and favorably known throughout South Carolina, and has resided at Green wood for years Cancer is hereditary in the family, an aunt on each side having died from it. Several years ago a small spot, like a tiny ulcer, about the size of a bird-shot, appeared just under his left eye, above the cheek bone. He thought nothing of it for some time, until it began to grow rap idly, spreading all the time, and de- ing the flesh as it went. stroying I # i i I w L OST—On tlio road between Gaffney and Dawkins' mill, a meal sack contxiniiiK a niece of pants poods, some sutfar and coffee.

For protection buy a Traveller’s Accident Policy from F. G. Stacy, Agt. A Serious Accident MR. J. B. ARNOLD. He says: “It gave me a great deal of pain—those sharp, darting pains so characteristic of cancer. I took many so-called blood medicines, without the slightest effect, and sought the help of the best physicians, but they did me no good; one told me, however, that I was incurable and had better make my arrangements accordingly. I was on the verge of despair, when Dr. J. L. Miller, one of the leading druggists of my town, recommended S. S. S. The first bottle seemed to make me worse, but Dr. Miller told me this was a fav orable symptom, and by the time I had taken the second bottle, the cancer be gan to discharge, and as I continued this became quite profuse, and kept up for some time. Then it gradually grew less, and after awhile ceased al together, and to my delight the place dried up and is cured entirely, so that nothing remains but a scar. “I consider S. S. S. a boon to suffer ing humanity, and feel that I owe my life to it, as the cancer had made such progress when I began S. S. S. that my death was declared to be only a matter of a very short time. The cure ef fected in my case is considered by every one most remarkable, and clearly demonstrates the fact that S. S. S. does cure hereditary cancer. No one who is afflicted with this dreadful dis ease can afford to fail to give S. S. S. a.trial, for that is all that is necessary to convince them of its virtues.” The above is but one of many re markable cures being daily made by S. S. S. Cancer is becoming alarm ingly prevalent, and manifests itself in such a variety of forms, that any sore or scab, it matters not how small, which does not readily heal up and disappear, may well be regarded with suspicion. The fact that S. S. S. cures heredi tary cancer, which is considered in curable, places it without an equal as a sure cure for all manner of real blood diseases, such as Scrofula. Ec zema, Contagious Blood Poison, or any other form of bad blood.—Atlanta Constitution. The Citizens Building and Loan Asso ciation. Few people realize the great advan tage of a well managed building and loan association. Our local associa tion was organized last July and has been the direct means of building six or eight neat residences in Gaffney, and lias applications for several more. It is a great help to the borrower, lender and the town generally. If you desire to own your home, sub scribe for stock at once. By small payments each week you can mature your stock and pay back your loan with the money you now pay out for house rent. The Citizens Building and Loan Association will on Janu ary 1st ’96, open hooks of subscrip tion for the second series of stock and every one should take some of this stock. The investment is safe and profitable, and t* e association is composed of our very best citizens. It is strictly mutual and every sub scriber helps some worthy man or woman to build and own a home. —• - The Right Kind ot People. Tuk Lkdgkk carried an ud. for the Dr. Miles Medical Company of Elk hart, Ind., for twelve m.*nlhs. We never rendered a statement or wrote them a letter of any description, lie- cause just as regular as clockwork every three months wo received a check for the quarter’s advertising, and they said they “did not require a statement or receipt.” That the work has been entirely satisfactory the following will test if\ : Ledger. Gaffney, S. C.: Gentlemen,—We enclose renewal of lust year’s contract, kindly return same by return mail. Please use old cuts until new cuts arrive. Yours very truly. Dr. Miles Medical Co. That we desire to keep such people among our advertisers is attested by the fact that Dr. Miles’ udvertiM- ment appears again in this issue of The Ledger. The Dr. Miles Com- pony are among the most reliable people in America and their prepara tion is one of merit. «.# • * Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving Day was duly oele- brated and every place of business in town was closed the entire day. There was services at the several churches and they were well attended. The clerks were thankful for a day off, the merchants were thankful for a good fall trade; the sweethearts were thankful that their beaux could be with them, us were also wives and little children because husband and father could he at home and The Ledger was thankful because it was able to give to a generous public a complete twelve-page newspaper replete with good news and well written advertisements which were a credit to Gaffney and her people. “A Man of the People.” Rev. C. E. Robertson is not only a preacher hut a man, and truly “a man of the people.” He and his family have been in Gaffney less than two years and already they have en deared themselves to all. On Thanks giving evening Mr. and Mrs. Robert son gave a supper to a number of their young lady acquaintances. Al though no ‘‘stags” were admitted we are told that the young ladies spent a most pleasant evening, and we are in clined to believe it to be so because Mr. and Mrs. Robertson know how to entertain. ——- A Gaffney Contractor Abroad. J. G. Galloway and his force of workmen have completed the roofing of the Rutherford cotton mills of Rutherfordton, N. C., and have re turned to the city. Mr. Galloway gave the Rutherfordton people an extra good job and they were highly pleased with the work of Gaffney’s contractor and Gaffney mechanics. But then nothing else could be ex pected of Gaffney because we do the best of everything we undertake. Remember Is approaching, you will soon be gin to puzzle your mind, what shall 1 get and, next, where will I get it. We want to suggest a few things. HANDKERCHIEFS. How about them? We have just received a large and beautiful line of Swiss embroidered goods at 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 cts. that are just the prettiest things for the money that we have seen. Ladies’ and Men’s Hemstitched white and colored borders, mourning, and in fact everything in the Handkerchief line de sired at popular paices. TOWELS, DOYLIES, TABLE LINEN, ETC. Beauti- full Ine stumpel linen for fancy work ; center prices 10, 15, 20 and 25 cts. WASH SILKS for doing the work.

Unclaimed Letters. List of letters remaining In the office uncalled for to date: Mr. J. H. Hallow. Mr. Wm. Berry. Mr. John Dyke. Miss Mace L. Ernest. Mr. W. J. Israel. Mr. B. B. Million. Mr. Willis Uiley. Mr. J. T. Williams. N. B.—Persons calling for these letters will please say advertised in The Ledger. T. M. Littlejohn, P. M. Dec., 2d, 1895. - A Tremendous Scheme. J. Q. Little last week received a letter from an old friend in Arkansas, E. L. Thomson, who has a tremend ous scheme on hand. He proposes to raffle 2,000 acres of land fifteen or twenty mules and horses, corn suffi cient to run the place a year, u large stock of hogs and cattle ami 100 bales of cotton for the sum of $25,000. He proposed to raffle it at the exposition provided J. Q. would undertake the job of getting up the raffle. How ever, Mr. Little, while quite a sport, has not yet made up his mind to un dertake so gigantic a scheme as that. Another Correction. In last week’s Ledger we inad vertently wrote Miss Davis when it should have been Miss Kendrick, in regard to the art department of Cooper-Limestone. Miss Davis re tired during the summer and Miss Kendrick succeeded her, but that made the display none the less credit able, for Miss Kendrick ranks high as an art teacher. The Ledger regrets very much that errors like this should happen but we are ever ready to correct any misstatement concerning anybody or anything. - - Death of Mr. Jas. Cook. Mr. James Cook. Hr., who lives about uine miles from Gaffney in what is known as the “brick house,” below Corinth, died at his home Sat urday morning at 7 o’clock. Mr. Cook was between eighty and ninety years of age. He leaves four chil dren to mourn his loss: James, Smith and John Cook and Mrs. Sallie Baine. The remains were interred at the Tate grave yard Sunday. Mr. Cook was well and favorably known and had lived a life^ 'unusual activity. — There are two reasonable things which everybody should do: take good care of one’s health ; and if lost, regain it quickly, and to this every body will agree. And there are a great multitude of people who are agreed that for both purposes Sim mons Liver Regulator Is the best helper. “I am troubled with torpid liver and nothing gives relief so quick like Simmons Liver Regulator.”— R. K. Strange, Lake City, Fla. THE LITTLE ONES Are the joy and sunlight of our homes. Use all care to keep the little ones in health. Do not give them nauseous doses.
