Mr. Hughes has it quit raining? A big crowd meets every passenger train in Gaffney. Sweet potatoes of this year’s crop were on our market last Monday. The public are invited to attend Children’s Day at Salem on the 23d inst. The Judies are requested to bring baskets well filled. The 4th is past, the big rains are over and nobody hurt much. Now everybody get together on everything that will advance every interest in this section. Alex Ferguson is handling his dummy trains lively this w ek, but he looks dull now wh.en you think of him, when he was handling the host here on the 4th. While the crops on the streams in this section were materially damaged, they are in a mnch better condition than we feared they would be after the recent heavy rains. Joseph Gal I mar, Deputy Sheriff of Union county, who was tried for murder last week at Union, was ac quitted. Mr. Gallman had killed a negro prisoner while trying to make his escape. Funy Inman, of Union county, a student of the Gaffney Male and Female Institute, was thrown by a mule last Sunday near Frof. McAr thur’s house on Race street and se verely hurt. Thk Ledger is glad to state that Mr. Inman’s injuiies were not serious and that he is out again. Mrs. John Blanton, who lived in the northern part of the city, on Lo gan street died last Monday after a short illness. Mrs. Blanton was a lady of many good qualities and leaves a devoted husband and child ren to mourn her loss, who have the sympathies of The Ledger. The Ledger and its entire consti tuency are invited to attend ChiB dren’s Day at Salem on the 23d in stant, today week. We return thanks to our fr’end. Mr. J. L. Strain, for his courteous invitation and assure him that it is the wish of The Ledger that it may be a great day for Salem and the cause. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS Out I 3 riee»!

Clough Robinson, of York county, spent several days with his friend, Park Thompson, on Race street. W. E. Kelly made a flying visit to Kings Mountain last Monday, where lie intends moving in a few weeks. R. C. Thompson is back on his farm in York. Dick is giving ills farms a great deal of attention this year, and ho knows how to attend to a farm. Mrs .J R. Millwood, of Star Farm was in the city Monday and paid us a visit. Mrs. Millwood is a very aged lady but shows her good judg ment in-her ardent support of The Ldegek. John Holland and Ed DeCamp braved the weather and took in the game of ball between Gastonia and Shelby last Friday. The game resulted in a shut out for the Gastouia boys on the diamond but they were treated in royal style while off. The rep resentatives of the Palmetto State relate some amusing incidents in connection with the trip. Genial M. L. Ross lias the thanks of The Ledger for his hospitable reception.

Cross Roads Jottings. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Crossroads. July 14.—Who makes the best wife? Not a weak, forceless, stupid, uneducated, giddy creature! The best wife has certain traits and characteristics which any man should look for before putting his foot in any entangling alliance. Failing to find, lie should pause and not go a single step farther. One of these traits is industry. By industry, I do not merely mean laboriousness, merely labor or activity of body for purposes of gain or of saving, for there may be industry among those who have' more money than they know what to do with, and there may be lazy girls as well as lazy boys. There is no state of life in which in dustry in a woman is not necessary to furnish happiness and prosperity to a man and to the country. But who is to tell the half crazed and half bewildered lover, who has been flattered by the tongue and charmed by the beauty and affections of a lazy woman? They shall all have to be their own judges. The farmers of this community thought they were done laying by, but the rain for the past week lias set the grass to growing so rapidly that they all will have to plough their cotton and young corn again. Cotton is as large now as it generally gets. The industrious farmers are hauling wood to your city. They don’t stop for the wet weather. The Fairview and Mineral Springs base ball teams played a funny game of ball last Saturday evening at W. Sr Smith’s. The Mineral Springs played nine innings anti the Fairview eight, and the game stood 28 to 14 in favor of Fairview. “S” attended a wedding at Wil liam Gardner’s lust Sunday. The contracting parties were Joshua way Cox, of Spartanburg, and Miss Rox- nnna Gardner, of Macedonia. Rev. R. J. Tate officiated. A great many witnesses were present, but the best of all was a long table covered with the very best of something good to eat. J. J.C. Ezell (candidate for county school commissioner) was among the throng at Macedonia Sunday. Mrs. N. M. Wood spent a few days last week with her son, T. C. Wood, at Grassy Pond. Mr. and Mrs. Stacy visited Mr. Barney Huskey and family Saturday night and Sunday. It rained too hard last Monday for “S” to get his letter to The Ledger office for publication. s. Your Boy Won’t Liv a Month. So Mr. Gilman Brown, of 31 Mill St.. South Garden, Mas?., was told by the doctors. His son had Lung trouble, following Typhoid Malaria, and he spent three hundred and seventy-five dollars with doctors who, finally gave him up, saying: “Your boy won’t live a month.” lie tried Dr. King’s New Discovery and a few bottles restored him to health and enabled him to go to work a perfectly well man. He says he owes his present good health to the use of Dr. King’s New Discovery, and knows it to he the world for Lung trouble. .Trial Bottles Free at DuPro Drug' Co.'s Drug Store. from a month died of Cherokee Chronicles. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Cherokee Falls, July 10.—There is no sickness here at this time. Everything is lively and on a* boom. It is thought that night work will stop here, at least for awhile, as the spinning and carding is ahead. Mr. and Mrs. Doc Gorden had the misfortune of losing their twin in fants, which were buried the 7th of this month, both in one coffin. From the report we can gather, the freshet of the last few days has done considerable damage to I he growing crops from this place to the Southern Railroad. It is reported that the corn on Buffalo is badly damaged. It is also reported that the corn on Kings creek and Clarks Fork is badly damaged. There is a good deal of fever in the neighborhood of Clover and York. There has been a number of deaths in the past month over there. Mr. Henry Watson died broken leg the 28th of last near Clover. Bulo Propts fever about the same time and was buried at Bethany church, in the up per edge of this county. Derry Barber, a negro who lived in tics county near Bethany, died some time ago. Aged 90 years. He is said to have been the oldest resident in York county. We have a good Sunday school here. We have a good many scholars and still we have some new ones at every meeting. The corn and cotton on the high lands is in a fine growing state and promises a good yield. If the seasons hold out there will he plenty of corn made in the country yet. I think there must be some watermelons left by the freshet yet, for I saw three men come by our house today with three large melons. Mr. Allen, of this place, killed a good fat hog the other day and he is enjoying pork and roasting-car soup to its fullest extent, lie is living nine days in a week now. He is a liberal man and did not forget to divide with his neighbors. n. a. m. •- - — If you would have abundance of dark, glossy hair, if you would have a clean scalp, free from dandruff and irritating humors, or if your hair is faded and gray, and you would have its natural color restored, use Ayer’s Hair Vigor.
