Do not for r. moment forget the fact, when you go to make u pur chase, that Ledger advertisers are the people to deal with. The man who advertises does so because he is up to-date. He wants your business and he is so anxious for it he is not only willing to treat you perfectly fair but he is willing to spend a little money to tell you in advance what he has to offer. We do not mean to imply that because a man does not advertise that he will not treat you right. That’s not the idea. Many honest men never spent a dollar in their lives to advertise their business. But the man that advertises is tlie up-to-date man and nine times out of ten he will he just a little more at tentive to your needs than the fellow who thinks you have got to buy the goods anyway and that you are just as liable to buy from hiyi as any body. Below are given some of the changes in our ad columns by our up-to-date advertisers and wc assure you that fair treatment will be ac corded in every instance: J. It. Tolleson—Saved. H. L. Parks <fc Co.—Underwear. Wilkins Bros.—Ladies’ dress goods. Carroll it Carpenter—Straw hats. Store Gaffney Mfg. Co.—Guess who they are. J. G. Wardlaw—Administrator’s sale notice. R. S. Cook—For sale.

Porter celebrated his eighty-third birthday last Monday. A dinner was given in honor of the oc- bnsion at which Mr. and Mrs. George Byars, Mr. nd Mrs. John A. Geddos and a number of relatives and friends were the guests. The day was unu sually bright for the old gentleman and The Ledger wilhes him many happy returns. Bucklen’s Arnica Salve.

A aubscriber in Valdosta, Ga., who missed last week’s Ledger writes: “I have never received last week’s paper and I had just ns soon miss a week’s board. Please send me one.” Presiding Elder Caul hen occupied I the pulpit at the Methodist church Sunday morning and evening, and he also addressed the Gaffney Epworth League in the afternoon. He preached two elegant sermons. J. 1). Gault and family moved- from Henrietta, N. C., to Fins city about five weeks ago. Mr. Gault opened a store in (lie Burnett Block.

It., | and Dr. Black, of Blacksburg, were j in tbe city Monday confering with Messrs. A. X. Wood, J. A. Carroll and others about the proposed branch of that line from Blacksburg to Spar tanburg. The prospects are very encouraging. We have received a communication from “Sweet Child,” Grassy Pond.

Our friends on tho farm have been putting in some good hard work and we miss them. Bub the harvest will come bye and bye and then they will visit us often and make life sweeter and happier by their presence. May they have a bounteous crop and good health and be happy and content. Suicide or Accident. A horrible tragedy was enacted in the city limits Tuesday evening about 7 o’clock. It has not been determined yet whether or not it was a case of deliberate suicide or an ac cident. At any rate there is one life less in Gaffney by it, and sad hearts moan the loss of a loved one. As the vestibule was opposite the residence of L. Baker a form was seen to ap proach the railroad track and cross over and then deliberately turn and go towards the other side. As the form reached the track tho second time the wheels of the ponderous engine struck it. There was a crush ing of hone and the blood flew in every direction, a low moan and one more life had gone out. The engin eer never blew for down brakes or reversed his engine—the heartless man—for it was the life of a dog that hud been spout. Pupils Recital Tomorrow Night. Tomorrow night, at Cooper-Lime stone Institute, a pupils recital will bo given. Tho program is replete with music and recitatious and while maay familiar names are on it there are quite a number of new ones, and very few of the entire list on the pro gram have been before a Gaffney audi ence before. The usual courtesy of throwing the doors open to the citizens is extended by tho efficient management and no doubt Profs. Mack and Griffith will lie cordially greeted by a large eviiler.ee for their pupils and tutors. Let every one go who can. -• • The Need of rrrmanent Arbitration. The immediato duty before the cou- servative forces of England and Amer ica is to organize for tho establislnuout of a high class continuous board of in ternational arbitration. In this matter tho lead may well bo taken by tho rep resentatives of that religion which is “first pure, then peaceable. ” With tho aid of the great educational institutions and of tho vast commorcial interests of the two lands, and in tho present re vived attention to tho subject, it ought to be an easy matter to got parliament’s assent to the opinion already formally expressed by tho congress of the United States in favor of the principle of arbi tration. What is needed is a permanent system in place of tho piecemeal and haphazard examples to which wo are accustomed, admirable as thoir results have already proved. Once established between England and America, such a system would gradually spread among the nations of Europe, tbo more rapidly because of tbe general con viction that another continental war wonld show a climax of horrors. Sooner or later arbitration wonld bo followed by disarmament, which is the logical seqnence of no other premise, and yet will be the turning point of tho conti nent toward true democracy and prog ress. However near or fur the ultimate acceptance of the idea, it wonld, as be tween us and our English consins, take the sting ont of tho viper of war, to which, like the hnsbaudmau in the fable, nations too carelessly givo tho warmth and nonrishmeut of tho hearthstone. In the knowledge that disputes wonld bo automatically settled by an impartial tribunal, it wonld no longer bo possible to play a boisterous tune upon a people by polling ont tho stop of “patriotism.” And it is not too much to hope that in tbe spread of this idea the whole earth would at last realize tbe great laureate's noble vision of The parliament of num, tho lYiicmttcm of tho World. Heroin lies a great opportunity for the English speaking race to lead mankind to the glorious destiny of peace. It is a mission to kindle the imagination and the heart.—Century. A Story Sol Smith Russell Tell*. Oliver Optic and myself were called to lecture in a Now Hampshire village. A committeeman called and said, “Wantiu to save expense ou printiu programmes. I’ll announce tho pieces ef you’ll tell me how they como in.” I explained that Optic and myself would ulteruato in our readings—Optic to begin, I to end with my sketches of charnctor. Ho stood at tho side of tho stage and said: “Oh, yez; oh, yozl Tho entertainment for the benefit of Dodge post will begin by rcadin an original story by Oliver Optic, otherwise Wil liam T. Adams. Ice cream at the back of the hall 10 cents a dish.” After the reading tho committee said: "Wc will now have Mr. Sol Smith Rus sell in his comic doin’s. You have all heerd of comical Brown, but, Mr. Rus sell lays over Brown ou tho comic. ” And while tho audience were laughing over my efforts the committee came to my dressing room and said, “They're takiu off their rubbers. ” And so he announced each selection on our programme, saying just before tho closing piece: “Oh, yez; oh, yezl Thankin the au dience on behalf of tho Dodgo post for their liberal patronage, the lecture for this oveuinwill conclude witli Mr. Rus sell in some more comics. Ico cream at tho back of the hall reduced to 5 cents a dish. ”—Philadelphia Times. — -«o»» - - -- —More for 25c than ever given in Gaffney before. See Smith Hard ware Co. Parrot* I Itavo Known. It is very curious to observe the pecul iar way iu which these birds learn their lessons. When a fresh word is being ac quired, at first (though not always) tho word is miscalled, and tho parrot will constantly repeat it, just liko a child practicing a lesson, becoming perfect by degrees. Thou, when quite mastered, tho w rd is put away, as it were, at tho be :k of its memory, to be brought for- w; rd when required, two or throe years sometimes elapsing before the occasion arises. Some easy words it is found quite useless to endeavor to teach tho bird; for instance, for years tho words “Thank you” have been said to hor when giving her food, but she never has once uttered them on receiving it. On one , occasion though, on seeing some doliea- | cy being given to the cat, sho remarked j iu a reproving voice, “Thank yon.” j “Good morning” and “Good night” are i constantly said at tho proper times, but : a heavy London fog perplexes her; she hesitates which to say sometimes, end ing tho matter on a dark morning by remarking, “Good night.’’—Chambers’ Journal. A Chatace For Zola, In spite of tho fact that M. Zola did not score one vote for tho French Acad emy at the late election, his success, ac cording to M. Clarotie is not unlikely at tho next election to fill tho fauteuil of Dumas. If Dumas had been alive, M. Zola would not have been without a vote on this occasion, for, as is known, tho former took an nctivo and friendly interest iu his candidature. Tho knowl edge that such was the case will have its inllnence when Dumas’ own succes sor i,i chosen. Moreover, says M. Clar- etio, old literary quarrels are being for gotten, and tho opposition of certain of tho cousorvativo 40 is waxing weaker. —Dr. W. H.
