A Highly Respected Citizen Passes to His Reward. Wm. Whelchel died at his home in the Corinth neingborhood last Fr’day at the advanced age of eighty-three. Mr. Whelchel was a decendant of the Whelch, being a grandson of Dr. John Whelchel, famous during the revolutionary as a doctor and soldier, being allied with the Americans. The remains were interred at Corinth church grave-yard Sunday, the bur ial service being read by John Crocker, while the funeral oration was delivered by Wm. Jefferies, Es<]., who paid agiowing tribute to Un- worth and character of the deceased Mr. Jefferies said that he did not speak to the aged who had been so fortunate as to live in Mr. Whelchel s day and time and who had the good fortune to know him so much as he did the young whom he could with pride ask to emulate his example. Mr. Whelchel was a farmer but had followed mining more or less all his life. He was an expert minerolo- gist and was perhaps the best posted man on the rninerulsof this section in Ids day and time He was a thor oughly practical man, u successful farmer and one who had always ad hered to the principle of raising his own supplies. Mr. Whelchel had been a consistent member of Corinth church for quite a number of years. In speaking of him to a Ledgeu man last Monday, A. N. Wood paid him this tribute: “I have known him and done business with him for twenty years and I never knew a man of stricter integrity and honor. We never had the slightest difference in business. He was the embodiment of truth, honesty and intergity.” Another citizen remarked: “I have known him a long time and had learned to love him for his true man liness. He was a pure, good, brave, and true man, unpretentious in his bearing, but a man withal, who could but leave the best impression possi ble when once his acquaintance had been made.” And thus one by one the Great Giver of all good and perfect gifts gathers his loved ones unto Himself. -* -«•*- • Dr. H. M. Holmes. Dr. Henry M. Holmes, our oldest and most widely known physician, with his estimable and cultured family has moved from Gaffney to Florence. Dr. Holmes was the first physician to settle in Gaffney where he soon be came prominent as a physician and surgeon. His high personal and pro fessional qualities secured for him the highest regard of our people which he retained when he left us. His skill, kind and tender care, and manly courtesy in the sick room has made warm places in the hearts of people all over this city and section for him. We can ill afford to lose this good man and his family but they carry with them our best wishes and we congratulate Florence on getting them. — — Shumpert, Butler &_McGowan. Gaffney is to have a new law firm. Messrs. Schumpert, Butler & McGow an, of Union, will open a branch in this city February 1st. They have rented an office of L. Baker, just be low Squire I G. Surratt’s preset.t office. The firm is composed of Solici tor C. L. Shumpert, of the seventh judicial circuit, Col. T. B. Butler, United States Commissioner and Wm. McGown, a bright young gentleman who is a graduate of the Gaffney Male and Female Seminary. Each member of the firm is a good lawyer, and we have no doubt but that they will re ceive a liberal patronage. The olik-i days are Friday and Saturday of each week, and on those days one member of the firm will be here to attend to business. —• *• The Posts’ Almanac. We are favored this week with a copy of the Washington Post Alma nac and Enclyclopedia for 189G. Is is full of historic and statistic facts which are of interst and will be beneficial to all who will read it. It also contains a succinct outline of Tie elect ro-planitary theory covering weather changes. The Post Almanac would be a valu able acquisition to any library and «un be obtained of the Washington Post Co., Washington, D. C., by send ing them 25 cts. — Telephone Talk. At a meeting of the directors of the Gaffney Telephone Exchange it was decided to cut off all subscribers who do not pay their assessment by the 5th of each month. The tele phone list is growing rapidly and Manager DuPre is giving his patrons good service. New and correct tele phone cards ore to be issued in a few days, those nowin use being out of date. Return Yonr Property. The time for returning property for taxation is growing short. It must be returned by the first of February to escape the penealty. City Clerk Webster reports that very few have yet returned their property. Now don’t neglect this matter but go in and return your property, thereby saving yourself money and the clerk the unpleasant duty of making you pay the penalty. « • Other Local News on Pages 1 and 7.
