ed to grow worse and on Saturday ail
hopis of her recovery were abandon
ed. The end came Sunday afternoon
and was quiet and peaceful.
Miss Finch was a bright and popu

the teachers and scholars. Her
death was a great shock to her many
friends in and out of the college.

the meeting lacked a great deal of
that pronounced excitement thai
usuuhy ulteiida meetings of IhL
character it was productive of much
lasting good for ttie upbuilding of the

Mr. Price is one c*f the most earnest

We Will Likely Celebrate.
The Ledger's suggestion to cele
brate the 4th of July has met with
general approval and it is most likeiy
that we will have a celebration to
equal, if not surpass, the celebration
of two years ago. With this end in
view a canvass of the city will be
made and later on a general meeting
of the citizens will be held to discuss
the project and to map out a program
for the occasion. All the persons so
far spoken to on the subject have
signified their intention to lend their
moral and financial support to the
celebration. The officials of the Gaff
ney Manufacturing Co., have intima
ted that if the celebration was on the
scale proposed that they would shut
down the mill for that day and allow
the operatives the privilege of partic
ipating. Now the thing to do is for
everybody to go to work and talk up
the celebration and encourage it in
every manner possible, and, when
the time comes, to subscribe as lib
erally us their means will allow. Let
us have a day that will be a credit to
Gaffney and Cherokee county. And
we will add just here that we expect
our friends who reside in the country
to htlp us out in this matter. We
cannot do anything without their
aid and we expect them to swell the
attendance and help push matters
along.
