A Great Day for the Baptist of Lime- j
stone Last Sunday.
Last Sunday wa* a gain day umong
the Baptist of this community, it
had been previously announced that
on that day there would he^u Baptist
Rally at the Limestone church, and
at an early hour the spacious church anything you may wish to buy in
building was well filled with Bap
tists and their friends.
There seemed to be no special ob
jects before the meeting more than
social enjoyment, fraternalism, and a
general jollification. Rev. F. C.
Hickson and President Montague, of
Furman University, addressed the
meeting in the morning, after which
dinner was spread on the church
grounds and all were invited to par
take of the bountiful repast that had
been provided by the ladies of Gaff
ney and the surrounding country.
After the material wants of the
“inner man” had been abundantly
supplied, and a general mixing and
hand-shaking had prevailed for about
an hour, the crowd re-aitsembled in
the house in a free and easy-going
mass meeting, at which a number of
sprightly and vigorous talks were
made. Dr. Thomas of the Baptist
Courier, made a forcible and telling
speech; Rev. T. J. Campbell gave a
picture of the Baptists in this part of
the country 50 years ago; our aged
and honored fellow-citizen, ’Squire
Henry Gaffney, told some very inter
esting facts in connexion with the
early history of the Limestone
church; Mr. Tillman R. Gaines gave
some details of his personal services
and experiences; Rev. Wm. Guidin-
zhage got an opportunity to air his
enthusiasm; Rev. Mr. Thomason
made a short and sensible talk, and
all had a siiowing that wanted one.
IT Prof. Johnson led the music, sup
ported by several instruments and a
choir of some 60 voices.
Altogether the meeting was an en
joyable one, and some of the Presby-
urian and Methodist brethren at
tended, and felt themselves perfectly
at home. There was nothing like a
spirit of bigotry or intolerance in
anything that was said or done, but
on the other hand, there was general
good feeling, and a spirit of broad
charity and Christian fellowship pre
vailed the entire proceedings.
The fact was developed that there
are about 1000 Baptists belonging to
the four churches in and around
Gaffney.
Dr. Montaeue, the new President
of Furman University made a fine
impression on our people, and it is
tbonght that the University will
take a new life under his administra
tion.

A Huge Pumpkin.
Last week The Ledger was pre
sented with the champion Cherokee
county pumpkin. It is fifty-three
inches in circumference and weighs,
iorty-nine pounds. It was raised by
Sandow Northy, one of the best farm

of what can be done along that line.
We will keep it on exhibition for a
few days and then appease our appe
tite for pumpkin pie.
