The furniture for the various offi- cer.s in the court house is now all In nml arranged. Each officer has a neatly and conveniently fitted office. County Supervisor Lipscomb's office is the first on the right-hand side as you enter the neat aiid pretty little court house. His office is very neat ly arranged, and the Supervisor looks (piite contented and happy us he leans back in his big arm chair and talks pleasantly and intelligently with any one who may have business with him. .1 ust beyond the Supervisor's office and almost directly in front of the entrance to the building is Clerk of the Court JelTeries’ office. Kb has been more fortunate, perhaps, than any of the county officers, in that lie lias his office better equipped than any other. Among other things is a mammoth safe, a pretty file case for papers, and one of the latest improved book racks, besides two desks, a number of chairs, etc*. Clerk Jefferies always greets his friends with a smile and is courteous and po lite to all. In the rear of Mr. Jefferies’ office is the office of Sheriff J. 1>. Ross. The sheriff is very conveniently fixed. His office, however, does not resem ble. in a very marked degree, a sher iff's office. The fact of the business is, it lacks such novelties as only a sheriff's office of some duration can boast, such us bracelets, gur.s. pis tols and articles usually confiscated from the criminal element on their capture, but these will be added in I he course of time. To the left of the entrance and op posite the clerk’s office is the domi cile of our veteran auditor and win some treasurer, Messrs. \\\ 1). Camp and J. JL Jones. These gentlemen are most comfortably fixed and they are as quiet and docile as two lambs. They are always polite and pleasant and it is with pleasure one transacts buincss in their office. Up stairs immediately over the of fice of Supervisor is the office ol Pro bate Judge J. E. Webster. Mr. Web ster is one of the best house-keepers in the court house. His comfortable apartments are always as neat as h pin—a va«t contrast to the entrance to the building and the hull-way— and one can sit and discuss points of law. and gain information with com fort while under the re\>f of the Judge of Probate. The furniture in these offices was furnished at % the expense of the town of Gaffney, and when our friends from the country call on our officers they can look around and see what they have, and remember that so for they have not been called upon to pay the extra expense of going to to house-keeping, us was predicted would be the case by some who view ed the new county question in the negative. Jeffenes-Jefferies. On yesterday at 10 a. in. at the homo of the bride, at Star Farm, Prof. Davis Jefferies and Miss Mary Jeffer ies wore united in the holy bonds of wedlock by Rev. F. C. Hickson. The wedding was a quiet family affair, being attended only by the near rel atives and a few select friends of the contracting parties. Prof, and Mrs. Jefferies came to this city and look the 2 : IS train for Nasheville, where they go to take in the Xasheville exposition. The groom has for the past several years been engaged in educational work in Union and is held in high esteem by all who know him. The bride is a sister of Cherokee’s Clerk of Court and a most popular young lady. The happy young couple have the congratulations of u host^ of friends and The Ledger joins in wishing them longlife and happiness. —— • • — — Unclaimed Letters.

A reference court will be held In the office of Probate Judge Webster in the city to-morrow, in the Flint Hill gold mine partition case. How ard Carlisle. Es*q., of Spartanburg, will be the referee. It is to be hoped that all parties * i n t erc8 URl will be present. This trial will be final and title will be passed.

This will be a great thing for Cherokee county. — - * HOW TO FIND OUT.
