Clive us a call. Yours truly, The Wonderful Lecturer to be Here Wednesday Night. Next Weduesday evening Gaffney is to be favored by the presence of the only Ham Jones. That our peo ple will show their appreciation of the efforts of Mrs. H. Fay Gaffney in bringing to this city such noted and gifted lecturers as Gen. Gordon and 8am Jones by an audience so large that it will oe necessity to dii»pluy the “standing room only” sign, we have not the slightest doubt. We can only say that any one who fails to hear Mr. Jones will miss ,a treat. He is profoundly entertaining. He can carry an audience as no other man in the world. One moment his sentences shine like diamonds laced together by a golden cord, the next be is more ridiculous than a circus clown. That he will make you feel more like living than you ever felt before there can he no doubt. He seems to see both sides of life hut all his efforts are in the direction of brushing away the clouds and cobwebs and letting into life the beautiful sunshine of God’s eternal love. Some say Mr. Jones uses slang. We have heard him on probably thirty different occasions. That he says some things that do no not look elegant in print we are free to admit but he has such a wonderful way of saying them that the most sensitive could not become uffonded when they hear him say them. One thing cer tain, we never heard u man or a wo man say aught against 8am Jones or his manner of preaching or lecturing who had ever heard iiim, unless it was some one from whom he had torn the bark by his forceful truths. Let no one deceive himself and re main away on account of Mr. Jones slang. It will not hurt a pure mind. We take the following from Daily Florida Citizen: “A large and enthusiastic audience heard Bam Jones deliver his lecture at the Opera House last night. Mr. Jones was in his best humor, and his remarks were well delivered. His stories kept the audience convulsed with laughter at times, and the se rious part of his lecture was listened to with the gravest respect and atten tion, especially when he touched upon the temperance question and the good government of the country in gen?ral and of this city in particular. “Bam Jones is, as he toid the au dience last night, a man of fiftr years of age. He ia a man of med ium height, broad ahouldered. with a graceful figure, and posessed of a great deal of expression and vigor in his oratorical gestures. His features arc pronounced. “Mr. Jones spoke at length upon tho making of homes pleasant. He said that the way to do it, even if it were not true, was to tell your wife that she was the smartest, most beautiful angel alive. “I like my wife.” he said. “Why only the other day I said to her, ‘Laura, dear, there are not many women I meet with in my travels that I like better than you.” “He spoke for about two hours. He is amusing, and he is serious re marks are interesting and instructive. He is a man who has traveled a great deal, and his a great student of hu man nature.” The price of admission will be $1.00, 75c and 2oc, and the house should be filled to its utmost capacity. Silver Dollar Day. Tho congregation of Dunten’s Chapel, colored M. K. church, had a great time Sunday and Sunday night. The occasion was what i'astor Camp bell called “Silver Dollar Day.” The purpose was to raise funds to help lift the debt of the church and some thing over $80 was raised for the pur- p f )se. The Presiding Elder and a number of visiting colored ministers were present and took part. The sermons were timely, the singing good, the contribution liberal, and the behavior excellent. Labon Morgan, the manager of tho Piedmont Indicator, a paper edited by colored people in the interest of the colored race, was present and gave a timely talk on the importanco of his people taking a newspaper 4nd keeping up with the times. All in all the pastor and congregation are to be congratulated on the succes* of the occasion. He will Apper at the Opera House Monday Night. Sweet Singer Charles A. Gardner, Karl, the German comedian, can have no reason for complaining of the reception given him in every city from Maine to California. He will appear at Gaffney in his grand pro duction of “Karl The Peddler,” with his company of comedians and sing ers. Karl introduces his new sung. “Tell this to my sweethearf’a tit com panion to “The Lilac,” and “Apple Blossoms,”nlso‘‘Capt.Karl’s March,” ‘‘With Little Henrich,” “The French Convict,” “Oh, He Hit Me in the Nose,” “The Bird Vender.” “The German Milk Girl.” “Jack In the Box.” etc., all of which are sure to catch the popular fancy, and he will sing them as he only can sing songs of the style that has made him famous. Men like Gardner are benefactors; they divert the invigorating rills of laughter to refresh the gardens of the imagination. He is, indeed, the true enchanter, whose spell operates upon the heart.

Friday evening, October 29th, Mlws lone and Agnes Littlejohn en tertained a few friends at their home on Frederick street. The young peo ple spent a most delightful evening. Those present were: Misses Evelyn Hall, Florence Caldwell, Annie Sar- ratt, Fanny Fort, Era Littlejohn, and Kate Folger, Elese and Alma Lynch, all of Gaffney; Mr. Floyd Baker, also of Gaffney; Messrs. E. H. Hall. M. V. Bennett, C. W. Leonard, and M. C. Davenport, of Wofford Col lege. ■Vwstiernin til ttm«. Mi V-l influence of this prince of merry laughter, his audiences turn aside from the dreary work-a-day world and at tho wave of his magic wand enter the perfect fairyland of merri ment. Sweet Singer Karl, Chas. A. Gard ner, can return East with a scrap book full of as fair a lot of newspaper notices from the San Francisco press as ever have been given any star there, and not one bad notice in the lot, “Karl The Peddler” is a hit. Owing to tho prevalence of yel low fever at New Orleanes Mr. Gard ner will put one of the nights next week in Gaffney. The following wo clip from the News and Courier: “Charles A. Gardner and his com pany of singers and players enter tained a good-sized audience at the Acaden y of Music last night. The performan e was given against a strong iittraction at the Base Ball Park, the circus, but the name of “Karl” brought many of Mr. Gard ner’s old admirers to the Academy anyway. The audience w*s well pleased with Mr. Gardner’s new play, “Karl, the Peddler,” and was mere than charmed with his new songs and clever dances. The play is a pretty story of wrong righted and the triumph of the good over bad, al though the latter seems to have great odds in the opening acts. The peo ple associated with Mr. Gardner this season are all good in their parts, and the evening passed most delightfully. Mr. Gardner sang “Tell This to My Sweetheart.” “Apple Blossoms,” “The Bird Vender” and many other sweet songs of his own composition. Miss DeForrest gave some excellent selections, and the Schuyler sisters gave some very pretty songs and dances. It whs altogether a very charming evening.” As the Karl Gardner Company make their next stand at Bpurtan- burg they will not leave Gaffney un til the departure of the vestibule train Tuesday morning at 11 a. m., so patrons of the performance next Monday night need not be afraid that they will not witness tho play in its entirety as the full four acts with all the specialties will be given.
