Memorfcl D«y Exercises.
Memorial day was observed in Gaff

of tiie Ladies’ Memorial Association.
Quite a number of citizens, a strong
squad of veterans, a small army of
little girls and boys and a deiachment
of the Gaffney Light. Infantry, under
Capt. J. A. Bell, the whole command
ed by Col. J. O. Wnrdluw. composed
the line. The procession was formed
at the Gaffney Male and Female
.Seminary and moved to the ceme
tery, where a stand for the occasion
had been erected. Arriving at the
cemetery the Gaffney Light Infantry
opened ranks and presented arms and
the veterans passed through with
heads uncovered. The veterans
were followed by the children and
they by the ladies of the Memorial
Association, Arriving at the stand
a patriotic song was rendered by a
choir selected for the occasion. r i his
was followed by a prayer by the Rev.
C. E. Robertson, chaplain of the
Gaffney Light Infantry, after which
an address was delivered by Prof.
\V. S. Hall. This was followed by
an address by Capt. H. 1'. Griffith.

Fun for the Crowd.
A fisticuff lie tween Jim Gaffney
and another gentleman of color l ues-
day afternoon created a good deal of
amusement for the on-lookers. The
match was pretty near even, but
when the crowd began to gather and
attrapt the attention of the police
Jim’s opponent l^oke and ran. Al
derman R. M. Wilkins and u number
of others gave chase. The alderman
proved that he could run in a foot
race as fast as he could in a city
election, and soon overtook the flee
ing son of Hum. Jim put up .fo for
his appearance before Mayor Littie-
jotm yesterday morning while his op
ponent was conducted to the city
hotel by officer Hamrick.
When arraigned before his honor,
Major Littlejohn, yesterday morning
Jim was fined -fo for his fun, while
Charley Ballinger, ttis opponent, was
fined ijq for the part he took in the
affair.

Attention Citizent! \
Tomorrow night a meeting will be
held in the city hall in the interest
of a Fourth of July celebration.
Every man in Gaffney is invited to he
present and take part in the deliber
ations. So far every man spoken to
on the subject lias express* d himself
as willing and ready to push the cel
ebration forward. With a little self-
denial and a little patriotic work on
tin part of all we can have a credita
ble celebration at little expense. So
let everybody interested in the pro
gress of Gaffney and the profitable ad
vertising of the town come to the front
and put his shoulder to tiie wheel
and shove the eld chariot of ente-
prise forward.
Remember Our Offer.
Don’t forget that we are going to
giveaway ten dollars to persons an
swering advertisements of merchants
in this paper. Would you not like
to win one of these prizes? Of course
you would, then why not go to work
and try for it? It is no trouble for
you to tell a merchant that you saw
his advertisement and put your name
on his register, and when you con
sider that a merchant appreciates
your reading his ad you will readily
see that he will take pains to show
you that what he said in that ad was
true, and in doing so will give you
better bargains than you would get if
you had not told him you saw it.
The Site Changed.
The site for the carpet mill has
been changed on account of the water
supply, and the mill will be erected
on the lot embracing Col. Samuel
Jefferies’ fish pond and contains
thirty and one-half acres. Lumber
and material has been placed on the
new site and building operations will
be begun at once.
A Pleasant Evening.
A few of Miss Forts friends, were
entertained in a most delightful man
ner on Monday evening last. Only
too soon was it over, and the guests
departed, with appreciative thoughts
of their ebarmiug hostess.

and pick-pockfets that infested the
Queen City on /that occasion. While
in a crowd on Yr.von ntrcct looking at
the procession, a thief attempted to
steal a valuable diamond from his
shirt front, but J. Q whs too alert
for the wily thief and caught him in
the act. The culprit was promptly
handed over to the police. The next
morning he was bound over to the
Criminal court in tin* sum of $200.
He promptly put up the money and

It Failed for Lack of Support.
The Ledoek is very sorry t hat tl.e
merchants of this place are not wil
ling to unite on the curly closing
movement. A list for signers to this
movement was circulated last we* k
and at one time it began to look as if
there would be no trouble to get
everv merchant in the city to sign,
hut finally the solicitors came across
one merchant who disagreed and then
another and it was not a great while
before enough had refused to comped
those who were inclined to enter tiie
early closing movement to withdraw,
hence the effort was a failure. Sup
pose you try it again, boys. You
may have better success next time.
The Funeral of Mr. Spencer.
The funeral of the late J. O. Spen
cer took place last Thursday at Cor
inth church in the presence of a
large concourse of friends and rela
tives. The service was conducted by
Rev. B. P. Robertson, of this city. '
After the service by Mr Robertson
the Masonic Order took charge of the
remains and buried their lamented
brother with Masonic honors. TI e
funeral cortege was perhaps the
longest that ever went out from GatT
ney. It seemed that everybody in
the place and surrounding’ country
who could possibly do so was present
to attest their love and friendship for
the deceased.
