Gaffney, Esq., last Tuesday, the 1st inst., and had all his brothers and sisters pres ent. It was his father’s S3rd birth day. The resolution extending the time of paying taxes without penalty to the 20th instant, has been approved by the Governor and is of force. But up to yesterday Treasurer Jones had received no official notice of it. J. L. Strain, one of the Magis rat ’8 of this county tried a case, in ih ; s city last Monday. This was his fir. t appearance on the bench here and he discharged his duties with credit to himself und justice to the litigants. Henry G. Gaffney, Esq., is the old est man in the city, who was horn on the site of Gaffney, though eighty- three years old, is still quite a stout old gentleman. He is in good health and is in the possession of all his faculties. Dr. and Mrs. J. F. Garrett enter tained a number of their young friends at dinner last Tuesday.

The Southern has taken up the many useless sidetracks that it put down in this city some time ago to keep tlie O. R. <fc C. from entering t ie city near its tracic The O. R. & C. however got here. Gaffney has both roans now and is glad of it. While freight is about 60 per cent, from Charleston to Gaffney of what it is from Richmond, Richmond seems to be still selling Gaffney more goods than Charleston is. Why is this? Is Richmond offering goods cheaper, or is Charleston not push ing her business? Her Sufferings Ended. Mrs. Martha J. Cody, ofChsrlotte, N. C., died in this city last Tuesday morning at the residence of hei: son- in-law, E. H. DeCamp. Deceased was a native of Davidson county, N. C., and was fifty-two years of age.

It is not often that a physician recommends a patent medicine; when he does, you may know that it is a g iod one. Dr. J. P. Cleveland, Glas gow, Va , writes: “I have usedCham- berlain’t Colic, Chi lira and Diarrhoea Remedy in my practice and it has proven to be an excellent remedy, where a thorough course of medicine had failed with me. I recommend it to my patients every time for colic and ditrrhoea.” Many other progres sive physicians recommend and use this remedy, because it always cures quickly. Get a bottle and you will have in excellent doctor in tlie house, for ail bowel complaints, both for child'en and adults. For sale by DuPie Drug Co. -• Co Car* Coaktlpetlon Forever. l/tc rFJSirt*?

A GREAT SHOW. “Wess” McKown in the War. Wess McKown, of Smiths Ford, York county, was in the city last Friday. His presence reminded us of what we have heard of his war life. Mr. McKown belonged to the McKis- sick Hangers of the 7th South Caro lina Cavalry. In the same company was our townsman. R. C. Thompson, who at the time was a mere boy. On occasions when the company would be dismounted to go into bat tle on foot every fourth man in the line would remain with the horses as ‘ horseholders.” When it fell to the lot of Mr. McKown to be a “horse- holder,” and Mr. Thompson to go i ito the fight, Mr. McKown invari ably offered to swap places with his boy friend, and go into the fight himself and let Mr. Thompson hold horses. And often he prevailed on Mr. Thompson to change places with him. This Mr. McKown did became of his comrade’s youth. Both were tine soldiers and are still fast friends. To Our Customer*.

Mr. Sam Welchell is working Miss Jane Nott’s gold mine again and is making money, using only old time methods. This mine is two and a half miles below Limestone Springs, on Limestone creek and its waters, and has up to a few years past, been considered only a placer mine, but about two years agoMr.Wheichell db» covered what bethinks a vein of good paying auriferous ore in it. He, how ever, not being fixed for vein mining, continued his placer work and has unusually made it pay. This mine was discovered more than half a century ago, and when worked with any degree of intelli gence. has been remunerative. When scientific miners possessed of an up-to-date outfit and sufficient money to operate it, arc attracted to this mine. We look to see a pretty big klondyke opened up within three miles of the capital city of Cherokee. Visitor’* Dance. The dance given the visiting young ladies of the city was quite a succuss.

This has been an unusually warm winter hut last Sunday morning we found heavy clouds and a brisk wind coming out from the east and a little snow fulling.
