TURNING GRAY
AND THREATENED
WITH BALDNESS
The Danger in Averted by Using
AYER’S ^
VIGOR
“Xoarly forty years ago, after
some weeks of sickness, my liair
tiirnetl o r; iy and hepan fallinp out
so rapidly that 1 was threatened
with immediate baldness. Hearing
Ayer’s Hair \’ij;or highly sjtoken of,
1 commenced using this prepara
tion, and was so well satisfied with
the result that I have never tried
any other kind of dressing. It stop
ped the hair from falling out, stimu
lated a new growth of hair, and kept
the scalp free from dandruff. Only
:.n occasional application is now
needed to keep my liair of good,
natural color. I never hesitate to
recommend any of Ayer’s medicines
to my friends.”—Mrs. 11. M. Haight,

The
LITTLEJOHN-EASTERLY.
A POPULhR COUPLE UNITED
IN MARRIAGE.
GOES TO MEET HIS REWARD.
Only a Few of the Intimate Friends of
the Contracting Parties Were
Present to Witness the
Ceremony.
One of the prettiest home weddings
that has ever taken place in this city
was that of Mr. Nathan H. Littlejohn
and Mrs. Edna Easterly Tuesday af
ternoon at 3 o’clock at the residence
of the bride on Grenard street. The
ceremony was performed in the pret
tily decorated parlor on the South
side in the presence of a few of the
relatives and intimate friends of the
young couple.
The invited guests had assembled
and promptly at 3 o’clock the bride
and groom entered. The Rev. J. I).
Grout, of the Methodist church per
formed the ceremony in a happy
manner. Immediately after the ex
tension of congratulations the wed
ding party repaired to the dining
room and were served with an elegant
repast.
Mr. and Mrs. Littlejohn left on the
4:18 train for Charlotte, where they
took the vestibule for Washington
and other points north. Their tour
will be extended about a week, when
they will return to this city, their
future home.
The groom is one of our most prom
inent young business men, a man of
sterling worth and integrity. He has
been honored by his follow townsmen
in the field of politics having, twice
been elected mayor. He evinced his
love of Gaffney by making a sacrifice
when lie resigned the position to
which he had been elected in order to
save a contest in court, the burden of
which would have fallen on the tax
payers, The bride is a charming lady
who has a wide circle of friends. She
is a daughter of Mr. I. M. Smith, of
Thickety, and a bright and entertain
ing woman.
The bride was attired in an elegant
dark grey traveling costume made in
becoming style, while the groom wore
the conventional black suit of a cuta-
away pattern.
Among those present were Mr. and
Mrs. W. H. Mitchell, of Spartanburg.
Miss Julia Littlejohn, Mr. and Mrs.
I. M. Smith and Mr. B. L. Littlejohn
and son. of Thickety. Mr. and Mrs.
A. W. Lotspeich, Mr. and Mrs. G. E.
Brown, Mr and Mrs. J. E. Webster
and son, Mrs. Senora Gray, Misses
Mamie McKnight, Olive Sarratt, Jen
nie Ross and Eflie Hopper and Messrs.
F. G. Stacy. T. H. Littlejohn, D. C.
Ross, Boyd Hames and Ed. H.
DeCamp.
The presents were numerous and
handsome. One that created a great
deal of amusement was a box labelled
“houshold and kitchen furniture.”
It was presented by the wag, Arthur
Pridmore, and you may guess what it
was.
Another Man Shot in Spartanburg
County.
Sank Turner, a young man of
about 18 summers, was shot and
instantly killed near Cowpons Fur
nace in Spartanburg county last
Sunday night.
Report has it that tho boy in
company with another were drunk
and went to a Mr. Paris’ house, went
in and began cursing and going on
at a terrible rate when Mr. Paris
put them out of the house and told
them to leave. They went oil but
returned shortly again and gained
entrance by some means or other.
This time they began cursing, and
shooting also. Then it was that
Mr. Paris fired tho fatal shot that
sent Sank Turner to his eternal rest
ing place.
Mr. Paris is quite an old man,
a quiet pcacable citizen and was a
gallant Confederate soldier. While
every one regrets the sad occurance,
wo have heard no one censure Mr.
Paris for his course.
A Colored Veteran of Three Wars.
Faithful old William Rose, the
colored veteran of three wars—for
he was with Col. Elmore in Florida,
with Col. Butler in mexico and with
Gen. Maxcy Gregg in Virginia—came
from Columbia with Camp Hamp
ton yesterday. He is in his 83d
year and looks well. He is univer
sally liked and everywhere wel
comed, especially by the veterans
of McGowan’s brigade, who know
how true and devoted he was during
the war. When William Rose visits
Charleston he is the guest of Ex-
RepresentaUve Geo. Mears, where
he is hospitably entertained.
Gaflney-Hopper.
Miss Lillian, daughter of Anthony
Hopper, and Wm. Gaffney were
nuited in marriage last Sunday by
Esq. Chris Phillips. Mr. Gaffney
is one of Spartanburg county’s suc
cessful tillers, while the bride is the
daughter of another.
Anthony-Thomas.
Geo. Anthony and Miss Ethel
Thomas were united in the holy
bonds of matrimony at the house
of the bride’s father, J. M. Thomas,
last Sunday evening at 7 :30 o’clock,
the Rev. B. P. Robertson ofliciat-

A New Business Building.
J. G. Galloway & Son have the
foundation laid for ono of the largest
and most elaborate storehouses in
this section. It will be constructed
of brick and rock face steel with
sheeting of abastos which will make Yours to serve,
it absolutely fire-proof. Tho front
will be entirely of French plate glass,
with illuminated borders,surmounted
with a galvanized iron cornice, and a
tower of metal shingles. The build
ing will be equipped with all modern
conveniences. In the roar will bo an
elevator to carry heavy goods, such
as stoves, tin plate, sheet iron, etc., to
tho upper floor, which will be occu
pied solely for their stove and tin
business. A fire and burglar proof
vault will be constructed in the rear
of the office, while their own gas
plant will be used in the lighting of
the building. The celebrated Wels-
baeh burners which give such intense
light, even stionger than electricity,
will be attached to all the gas tips.
An improved and very large furnace
will be used for heating the building,
connecting with it hot air pipes and
registers. The whole interior will be
finished in natural wood and oil coat
ing, while both front door entrances
will bo laid in fancy colored tiles.
The erection of a business house of
this charactor marks another step in
tho progress of Gaffney. L. Baker,
our celebrated architect and contrac
tor drew the plans and has the man
agement of tho erection, which in
sures its being a good job and its
early completion.

pairer, succeeded in getting two
watches to repair, one from Bill Mc-
Collough, a gold one, and another
from Andrew Jordan, swapped Mc-
Collough’s to D.A. Purcell, a jeweler,
for a silver watch and then skipped.
Oflicer Barnett Lipscomb and Purcell
got on his track about one half hour
later and overtaken him about six
miles from town on the Union road.
He was arrested, brought back to
town, tried before Esq. I. G. Sarratt,
and is now working out a twenty-five

installment plan from the Gould-
stein Furniture Co., of Spartanburg,
and brought it here and sold it before

How the Wager Went.
The other day there was a crowd of
sports in B. A. Holmes A Co’s., store
when our Sporty Tom Clarkson prof
fered to pay for ten bottles of soda
water if anyone in tho crowd would
drink them in ten minutes, and if
they failed to drink the ten in ten
minutes they should pay for what
they had drank. “Puny” Inman
accepted the proposition and drank
the ten bottles in six minutes, leav
ing Tommy in the soup.
