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.
Yours for shoes and slippers,

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-

the free coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to 1 would be beneficial to the

Thomson and McArthur.
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

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.
Tho Fourtli of July veek edition
of The Ledger is meant to bo a re
flection—a perfect mirror—of thp
business of this town.* It cannot bo
a complete index to the interests of
tho town unless your business is rep
resented. As a matter of fact wo do
not propose to loose money on it but
we can say with perfect candor that
the extremely low rates at which we
will publish advertisements will not
allow us to make millions out of it.
Speak at once for your position if
you want a good thing.

elms and stately oaks with here and
there a sweet scented cedar. Lovely \
walks are laid out around the grounds
and here and there are pretty

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.
