(Correspondence of The Ledger.) Ghoyek, N. C., May 2.—The farm ers are mighty busy since the rain planting cotton seed. The farmers have ustd more guano under corn than lias ever before been used in this section. The young folks had an apron hemming on the night of the 30th of April which was reported us a pleas ant entertainment. The people are interested in the war. They want news every day. It is pleasing to hear of such success the Americans are having. Hurrah forjAmcrica. J. L. S., why are nine-tenths of the drinking people in the church? T. W.

Services wore held in all the churcheg Sunday by the pastors. Mr. and Mrs. Fincken are rejoicing over the arrival of a bright little girl baby at their home. Rev. F. C. Hickson preached at I’rovidince Sunday where he always has a large congregation. The Supervisors of Registration were on hand for business as the law requires, but little was done. There will be services at Abingdon next Friday; communion on Sunday, Rev. Mr. Thomasson officiating. R. Dawkins was among those of our colored subscribers who called in last week and renewed their subscriptions. There will be an ice cream festival Friday evening in the grove adjoining Mr. R. G. Thompson. Go and enjoy yourself. The Farmers’ Mutual Insurance Association of this county met Mon day and attended to a good deal of routine business. Win. Phillips was elected agent. On account of the meeting at the Methodist church and the absence of th e pastor there will be no services at the First Baptist church. Sunday 'school at tne usual hours, also the young I^tople’s Union. Last Monday was “sales day,” but the people of Cherokee are so well pleased with whal property they have and all were so fortunate as not to have any executions—hence there was nothing offered for sale. From this time forward no notice of ice cream festivals, concerts or any entertainments, the object of which is to make money, will be inserted free. We cannot afford to give our space away. That don’t pay paper bills and printers. There was an enjoyable and profit able entertainment for the benefit of the First Baptist church at the resi dence of Mrs. A. V. Montgomery Tuesday evening. Ice cream was served and other attractive and pay ing features were added. Magistrate Sarratt’s court room was enlivened last Friday with a sensational case. While the evidence was insufficient to convict the magis trate did not hesitate to say that In his own mind there was no doubt as to the parties being guilty. But then a magistrate cannot commit criminals to the higher court without sufficient evidence. They Volunteered. The Gaffney Light Infantry had n meeting last Saturday and volunteers for the Cuban war were called for Capt. J. B. Bell made the company a patriotic speech, told them eighty- seven men were needed to form a company and that all who wished to volunteer would step to the front. With the word step to the front he stepped to the front himself and said we only needed eight-six more. About twenty-five more of the comoany moved up to Capt. Bell’s side ready with him to do battle for dieir country. !n a short while it became known that, Abbeville, New berry and Union had raised the three companies called for from the 3rd regiment and no further effort was made to enlist the requisite number for a company, and some of the gal lant boys wired to Union for a place in that company and were received .—-• ^ A Swindler in Our Midst. On Thursday of last week Frank Petty, a white man' who lived near Cowpens. in Spartanburg county, came to Gaffney riding a good horse and swapped it to W. O. Johnson, of the firm of Pridmoie, Johnson & Hopper, for one of his good horses. Saturday Petty appeared again in tke city and hired a buggy and harness from J. G. Spencer, drove out and some distance from town, took a married woman in the buggy with him and left for •Darts unknown. Monday J. N. Cudd, of Spartan burg. having a mortgage on the horse that Petty swapped to Mr. Johnson, took charge of it, thus leav ing Will minus one horse and Petty plus one horse and an other man’s wife. Petty, who is a married man, leaves his wife and children to cart* for themselves. Saturday. Saturday was a fine day and Gaff ney’s streets were full of the yeomanry of Cherokee. The farmers were here in large numbers all with their usual busy appearance. War news dis cussed and opinions of weather, fruit and general crops were generally in terchanged. In the afternoon when our big mills had closed fnr the week, our worthy mill people, after sixty-six hours of work during the week, were added to the throng. They intermingled freely with friends from the farms and the whole presented a vast col lection of people who, to all appear ance, were prosperous and happy, and these conditions arising only when duty has been faithfully performed. Cherokee can well bo proud of her people. — .4 « « » » Success—Worth Knowing. 40 years’ success in the South, proves lliurhes Tonic a ({rent remedy for Chills iiud all Malarlnl Fevers.
