Some Short, Some Shorter and all Too Short for a Heading, Yet None Too Short to Mention. Mr. Holt has nearly completed his new store jusc east of the cotton mill grounds. A number of our young people took in Scusa’s Band at Spartanburg last Monday night. The XX gets in its work in Gaff ney as it does other cities and every time it adds five or ten to the city exchequer. Mrs. John Geddes. who has been confined to her bed for several weeks past with an attack of typhoid fever, is now improving. Dr. W. B. DuPre has bought a nice lot on Victoria Avenue—Gaffney’s Boulevard—and will soon build him self an up-to-date residence. What kind of an electric light ar rangement do we have that allows two of the most important lights to go out of use for two months? L. Baker, our enterprising builder, has bought Dr. H. M. Holmes’ office lot on Limestone street and will soon erect a handsome business house on it. L. Baker lias the Burnett block of three brick stores on Limestone street well under way. They will be ready for the occupants by the first of Jan uary. The Saluda Sentinal, of the new county of Saluda, comes to us reu- larly. The Sentinal is well gotten up and well edited. Success to you brother. Last Monday Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Tigue were made the proud possess ors of a fine bouncing baby. girl. Mother and child are doing well and “Jake” is happy. No State Constables in the city now. Our people however seem to behave as well as when these swag gering dignitaries assert their impor tance on every corner. Rev. G. M. Boyd who has been stationed at this place for the past two years, has been sent by the Methodist Conference in session at Rock Hill, to Trough Shoals. W. T. Thompson and Wm. Hoard have bought the Elliott property on Granurd Street and will erect a first class business house on it us as soon as material can be collected. The balloon went up two hours after time last Thursday. But it held the crowd which was badly used up by its fakir attachees. who were certainly artists in their line. The bad weather the first of the week stopped brick laying on the City Hall, but the material men seemed to take advantage of it to get ahead with lumber, brick and sand. None of the big dailies of the State ever give Gaffney a “wrr^e up.” Still Gaffney, her big and little en terprises and all of her four thousand people are “getting there” all the time. Wm. Wilkins, of Greenville, to whose illness we referred in our last issue, died last Thursday in Green ville. Mr. Wilkins was a native of this section and is deeply mourned by his many relatives and friends here. R. P. Scruggs, better known as “Bob Screw,” who seven years ago got a piece of steel in his left arm while doing some work in his black smith shop hud the steel extracted last Friday by Dr. Crawley. “Bob” is improving since the operation and will soon be himself again. At the first Baptist church next Sunday morning the patsor, Rev. B. P. Robertson, will have for his sub ject “Looking Unto Jeses.” At the evening service “Christianity Toler ant and Intolerant” will be the theme. Mr. Robertson will also preach at Providence at the usual hour. We have heard of sheriffs arresting nilroad trains and locking them to the track, etc., but it remained for our own Chief Camp and Barnett to “do the act” to perfection. They not only arrested the train but the conductor, and it is said they wanted to take the engine and boiler but they were too warm. The conductor paid $5 for leaving his train on the crossing too long and promised not to do so again. Our Christmas Edition. Next week, the 19th inst.. we will issue our Christmas edition. It will contain sixteen pages which will be full of local and general intelligence and will afford advertisers a rare op portunity to spread their business before the world. Advertisers will please bring their copy in on or be fore next Monday the 15th, for after that date we will not guarantee in sertion in our Christmas number. C.*mo to us now friends, and let us show the world what Gaffney is, what she is doing and can do. Other Local News on Pages 1, and 7. ’S CURE . n —. WMtRf All lti£ fkil , | fact (((Ugh Syrup.
