Poole, an aged and respected citizen of Gowdeyville township, died Monday and was bur* ried Tuesday at Elbethel. The fu neral services were conducted by the Rev. B. P. Robertson, of this city. Mr. Poole was seventy-five years of age. He leaves a large number of relatives and a host of friends to mourn his loss. The O. R. & C. Railway’s Park to be Opened to the Public Saturday. The O. R. tfc C. Railway Company’s park on the island in Broad river where the railway crosses will bj opened to the public Saturday after noon. The company will run an ex cursion from Blacksburg and Gaffney to the park. The fare for the round trip will be but 20c. On this occa sion the park will he formally opened. Muj. Jno. F. Jones, on behalf of the road will present the park to the public for use as a park and pleasure ground, and someone will accept the park on behalf of the public. In order that Leix:eh readers may know some thing of this park a reporter, at the invitation of the railroad, went to the park Monday afternoon to see what the company proposed to offer the public us a pleasure ground. He founa a force of mechanics engaged in the construction of a pretty pa- villion for dancing purposes. They had already built a comfortable land ing on the trestle so that trains can stop and passengess embark and de scend to the park without having to cross the river in a boat. Seats will be erected all over the island for the comfort of those who wish to sit and rest themselves after promanading or dancing. Pleasure boats will be put on the river, and a refreshment stand will be erected and soda water, ice cream, cigars, cigarettes, etc., sold for the convenience cf the pleasure seekers. The spot is an ideal one for a pleasure ground. It is literally covered with magnificent shade trees and grass. We were also told that swings and seesaws will be erected for the convenience of the little folks. There is about four acres of ground in the island and a good breeze passes that way continually. The occasion of thegatheringshould be well attended. The train will leave Gaffney about 2:30 In the afternoon and will return to the city about 8 o’clock, thus giving those who attend about five hours on the island. They will also get back to the city in ample time to do their shopping for Sunday. Let a large crowd go down and spend an af ternoon in pleasure seeking. -•••. « The Gaffney High School Closes.

The game started off rather rugged but after the first inning the boys settled down end for eight innings played good hall. The Gaffney players sur prised the audience and themselves by their playing. They had had lit tle practice and were not in the best shape in the world to meet a foe like King's Mountain. The battery work of Richardson and Ross deserves special mention. It was of a high order and Logan was invinceable. For the King’s Mountain hoys Glenn and Whitesides carried off the honors by good work. The King’s Moun tain boys captivated the cranks by their genial manners and good beha vior and their town has reason to be proud of the manner in which they conduct themselves when abroad both on and oil the diamond.
