8 THE LEDGER: GAFFNEY, S. C., JUNE 11, 1890 Eggs. 16c Doz. Would create quite a commotion among egg dealers, so will the prices on our shoes and slippers open the eyes of a close buyer. We have sold more slippers.and shoes this season than any other one house in Gaffney. Why is it? Because, over one-half of them were samples, bought at a dis count of 25 per cent, and sold the same way. They are now about all gone and we have just purchased a clean, fresh line of oxfords, sizes slightly broken, at a discount of 20 per cent. Discounts like this make slip pers cheap. Fine Douglass oxfords, patent tip, sold early in the season at $1.25, now 08c. Fine Dbuglas slippers, patent tips, former price 98c, now. 75c. 100 pairs patent tip oxfords, now 49c. One lot childs’ shoes, 3-5 to go for, per pair 17c. A few pairs common sense, low heels at 98c and $1.25. These arc money-savers. Men’s fine shoes, congress or lace, solid leather bottom. .98c. Other fine shoes, $1.25, $1.48 and $1.98. Just received a first class line of hand sewed shoes in the new toes at $3.00 and $3.25. Good quality men’s patent leather, pumps $1.25. Follow the crowd to the Bee • Hive where you can get any kind of a shoe you want for lit tle money. An old adage, and a true one, too, shoes cheap enough sell themselves.

Bright Young Men and Women With High Hopes for the Future En tertain Their Friends and the Public. THEY LOYE HIM IN GEORGIA. The commencement exercises of 189G for the Gaffney Male and Female Seminary are a thing of tho past. The events have passed and serve to add their portion to the History of the school and of Gaffney. The session just closed has been a very successful one and the com mencement exercises were unusually interesting. Friday night was tho little folks’ night and right well did they aetjuit themselves. A large audience greeted them and the praises bestowed were profuse. Monday evening at 8:30 the follow ing program was rendered before a very appreciative audience: Chopin—‘‘Ecossaise. ’’—Misses Mc Arthur and Sams. Declamation—"Vindication of South Carolina.”—L. S. Wood. Declamation—"John C. Calhoun.” R. C. Lipscomb. Grieg. Op. 85—"Norwegian Dance.” —Misses McArthur and Sams. And Gaffney Should be Proud of Him, Too. To show the esteem in which they held our genial friend Fred Turner, the Crawfordsville Baptist Sunday adopted the following resolution at a recent gathering: Crawford Baptist Sunday School. Crawford, Ga., May 31st, 1890. Whereas, Mr. F. W. Turner has w6rked'50 faithfully and attentively with us as a teacher during tho past six months, and has now returned to his home in Gaffney, S. C. Resolved 1. That wo, as a Sunday j scho?!, hereby express our regret of I his departure, and hope that he will return in the fall. Resolved 2d. That we, tho Bap tist Sunday school of Crawford, re garding him as a Christian gentleman hereby tender him our appriciation of his efficient services with us. Resolved 3d. That a copy of these resolutions be put upon our minutes, and a copy of the same be sent to Mr. Turner. Bv order of Crawford Sunday school. R. S. Martin, Secretary. Accompanying the resolutlocs was a personal letter from Mr. Martin to Mr. Turner in which he assured him of the great loss to tho Sunday school and of how much he was missed. It is certainly a pleasure for The Ledger to note the good work of her young men abroad. It makes us ap preciate them the more when we have thorn in our midst. LINESTONE SPRINGS HOTEL. GAFFNEY’S SUMMER HOTEL TO OPEN JULY 1. A Beautiful Spot With Shady Nook, A Bubbling Spring With Bab bling Broolc tor Seek ers After Health. Last week we announced that Prof. Mack had determined to open up a a summer hotel at Limestone Springs. Plans have been developed and tho Professor is now making arrange ments with seekers after health. Limestone Springs was a noted sum mer resort for the low country peo ple for years before the war ahd there is no reason why, with tho proper management, it cannot be made to regain its former prestage. The building, of which the accompanying cut is a splendid representation, was built for hotel purposes and in its palmy days has entertained within its walls some of tho most distin guished people of the state. It has but recently been remodeled on the interior at an expense of $8,000 and everything is as bright as can be. There are fifty-two dormitories in the building, besides ample dining room, kitchen, parlor and office room. The Limestone water possesses many hcallh-givingqualities, isspark- L OHT.

The services Tuesday morning at 11 o’clock were inaugurated by prayer by tho Rev. J. D. Grout. Miss Thomson then rendered "La Cascade” very acceptably. After the literary address Miss McArthur rendered Moszkowski’s "Valse Brilliant.’ f Prof. H. N. Snyder, professor of English, of Wofford college, delivered the literary address before the Liter ary Society. A fair sized and highly appreciative audience greeted Prof. Snyder. It can truly be said that for depth of thought, language and grace of address that has been Gaffney for some time Prof. Snyder began by word literature and for forty minutes he held bis audience as if by magic with a masterly exposition of his sub ject. His illustrations were beauti fully drawn, and back of the whole drift of his argument could bo seen and felt the manliness of a manly man. In speaking of the address to a Ledger representative, one of our foremost men in literature said: "It was masterly. His address might be considered a veritable ‘mind of soul’ to whip up the ‘pond of this town’ to a purer and higher plane, if more peo ple had heard him and taken in his thoughts.” It is singular how little attention the people of this city are want to give such elevating and refining ad dresses as that delivered by Professor Snyder, but when the fact is taken into consideration that the tiii)0 of its delivery was so unpropitious it is hardly to be expected that business men can and will neglect their busi ness for such an occasion. Tho prin ciples of the school should arrange a better and more suited hour. Tuesday night a largo crowd gath ered for the closing event. Tho rains of tho afternoon had cooled the at mosphere and made tho evening de lightfully cool. The following pro gram was well rendered, oaoh and every participant excelling any pre vious effort and all receiving a most liberal share of applause 1 "Bohemian Girl,” Jean Paul— Misses Hams. "Power of Habit,” W. E. L'pscomb. "Valse StyrUnno,” WollVnbnupt —Miss Thompson, "Economy”—J. E. McArthur. "William Tell,” Rossini—Misses Thompson and McArthur. Other Local Mews on Pages 1 and 7. IvUvigstojug Si-Rircos IIotcci.. Editor A. B. Williams Leaves Us. Editor A. B. Williams has found it to his advantage to leave the field of journalism of South Carolina nnd has accepted a position on a magazine in New York city. South Carolina looses one of its brightest journalis tic lights. Mr. Williams was more frequently^ quoted than any other writer of of the State. A genial, whole-souled fellow, with a large quantity of the milk of human kind ness in his make-up, his rare genius shown forth as a luminious star in the journalistic heavens. Not only Greenville but the entire state suff ers a loss and his change of base is but tho out-growth of the conse quence of a community not being able to advance in proportion to the man. Although this was his adopted state, ho being a native of Richmond, Va., ho had lived here so long as to bo regarded as a fixture and during his stay had done much fo* Greenville and South Carolina and the people have been made bet ter and brighter for his having lived with us. May lie meet with success wherever he goei. The Fourth of July Week Ledger.

Prof. Mack tells The Ledger that he proposes to run a quiet hotel where families can spend a week ^r a month at moderate prices. Near by are the noted lime kilns of the Limestone Springs Lime Co., and the dummy line of that company runs just in front of the building. Near the hotel is Austell’s mill pond and Prof. Mack will endeavor to make ar rangements for his guests to boat and fish there. The hotel opens on J.uly 1st and will remain open until Sep tember 1st. The Fourth of July festivities will take place on the property of the Limestone Springs Hotel. Mrs. Mack will have charge of the cuisine and those who spend a day, a week, a month, or the season at Limestone Springs Hotel may rest assured that they will enjoy the stay in a delightful climate and with as delightful people as are to be found on tljo face of thp globe.
