People from all over our proposed new county are buying all their Christmas goods in Gaffney. The Cheraw Reporter nominates Judge Hudson for the new place created on the supreme bench. A lady bicyclist appeared on our streets this week. Her graceful rid ing attracted attention and admira tion. The stack of the new mill is now one hundred and ninety seven feet high and the brick layers are still piling brick on it. Dispensary still doing well, all who wants the 80 proof seems to be well supplied, and old topers get drunk just like they used to. People from the good old North North State are plentiful in Gaffney these days. Lots of business done here these days with North Carol*na. We have had big crowds in the city this week, business seems to have been good, everybody is on the hustle and The Ledger is up with the gang. The Headlight thinks it would be u nice arrangement for “the farmers” of Spartanburg county to go down in their pockets and build a railroad to Spartanburg. Saturday’s fun was aired before the mayor last Monday. Everybody seemed to be in a good humor, but when his honor adjourned court the city was $10 ahead. Move right into Gaffney now while property is cheap. If yo« can’t come now, come in with the new year and grow up with the city. Come along. Gaffney is the pink of the Piedmont. A private letter received in the city from L. O. Wood, who is now in Ten nessee looking after thorough-bred stock, says he and his party had a fine time at the exposition, which was taken in en route. J. (^. Little has purchased four large Jots on Johnson street. It Is a fine site for a home. Mr. Little Is not the man to have idle property long. And when J. CJ. builds a house there it will be modern in all respects and a stunner. We have received a communication by “Eureka,” Mercer, S. C., but as the author’s name does not accom pany it The Ledge will notjpublish it. Names must come if you want your communicat ions to get atten tion from The Ledger. Rev. G. M. Boyd went-down to Trough last Thursday night. He was accompanied by Mr. B. F. Holmes. At a meeting of the stewards it was decided to make Rev. Mr. Boyds sal ary $1000 a year. The Ledger is pleased to hear that Trough values Mr. Boyd's services for he is a good man and a good worker. The Ledger will come out as usual Christmas week with an eight- page edition. There will be no efforts spared to make it as complete as any edition of the paper. As'it will be printed on Tuesday instead Wednes day all correspondents and others who have news items or advertisements for that edition are requested to hand the same in not later than next Sat urday. ' The Headlight in lust week’s issue goes for what he culls the “proposed Gaffney county,” We expect to try to have u new county in this section hut have never intended to name it Gaffney. It says “the new county must assume its portions of the debt of Union, York .and Spartanburg and start out with over $50,000,” Jjust as though we are not paying our por tion now. We can pay it just us easily to the new county treasurer as we can to the old county treasur ers. It will not be any more. We know the people in the sections the Headlight refers to. Its statements in regard to them are very much like tbp paper they are printed on—very thin. A fellow from the mountains went into a certain store the other day and asked the proprietor if he wanted to buy s< me nice dried fruit. The mevebant told him that he would ask his wife if she needed any. So he stepped to the telephone, called up his wife, and talked to ber a few sec onds through the 'phone, then turn ing to the mountaineer, who was standing with his hands in his pockets, bis eyes stretched and his face very red, told him that hie wife said she did not need any dried fruit. The Indignant mountaineer blurted out; “Look here, mister, if you didn’t want any fruit why didn’t you ■ay so! I ain't such a dad burned fool as to think that you’ve got your wife shet up In that little box.” And turning he walked out, leaving the merchant speechleas.

Mr. C. Himrod. oi Lancaster, Ohio, says: “SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR broke a case of Malaria! Fever of three years’ standing for me, and less than one bottle did the business.

When Engineer Curlec saw that his engine was going to run into another train at Thickety last week he told his firemen to look out for himself, put all his steam on, secured his engine and calmly kepi his seat, and when Iris engine had crushed through the cab of the train in front of him and hud penetrated the next car En gineer Curlec was still at his post and blowed on the hrekes. In another instant everything was in ruins and brave Curlce was mangled almost be yond recognition. He died where duty placed him. Peace to him eternally - • Hester-Webber. Thos.
