A Skin Disease
In a Terrible Condition with
Scrofula Sores
Took Hood’s Sarsaparilla and la
Better than for 10 Years.
“I had a skin disease which was very
troublesome. I took a great deal of
strong medicine which did not do roe
any good and I was at last obliged to give
up. I was in a sort of stupor seme of the
time. Scrofula sores broke out and I
could get nothing to do roe any good.
My daughter told roe of a woman who
was afflicted as I was and w ho found re
lief in Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I concluded
to try this meaicine. At that tim3 1 was
in a terrible condition with sores on my
head and body. The first few doses of
Hood’s Sarsaparilla seemed to give mo
relief, and in a short time the sores bo-
tan to heal. My appetite improved and I
r elt like a new man. I am now in better
health than for 10 years.” S. M. Gkiku,

Very Sad Death.
Our citizens was shocked Wednes
day morning when it was announced
that Mrs. Dr. H. E. McConnell was
dead. It was not very generally
known that she was dangerously
sick, though Dr. McConnell and in
timate friends had been very solici
tous for some days.
She was Miss Mamie Russell Dai
ley, and was in her 2!)th year. They
were married about 10 months ago
at Limestone*, where she had been
teaching in the Institute, and was
[ exceedingly popular.
Funeral services were held at the
; Presbyterian church yesterday at
11 a. in., by Rev. 1). X. McLauchlin,
Rev. H. C. Ruchholz leading in
prayer, and the remains were buried
in Evergreen cemetery.
Dr. McConnell has the sincere
sympathy of this community.—Ches
ter Lantern.
We are saddened by the death of
the above-named lady, She was a
pupil in Cooper-Limestone Institute,
and graduated in *he class of 1889.
She was a bright, t. *hful, ambitious
pupil and was loved by her teachers
and classmates. After graduating
she took hold ol life’s duties with
earnest hopefulness, and made
friends wherever she went. Life
to her was fuli of promise, as with
her young husband, she looked for
ward to success, contentment and
happiness. Dut the scene has
closed in the full radient dawn. We
tender our heart-felt sympathies to
the bereaved husband and the aged,
forlorn mother. May the God whom
the lost one loved and worshiped,
comfort and sustain them.

A Raid.
8tate Constables Alton and Dishop,
of Greenville, arrived in the city last
Tuesday morning under orders from
Gov. El'.erbe to seize A. J. Settle-
j myer’s stock of beer and ship it to the
Strte Commissioner in Columbia,
which they did. The stock on hand
! amounted to something over a hun
dred dollars.
The State Hoard of Control had
granted* Settlemyer a ‘ beer privi-
, lege” hut the action of the consta-
' hies has blocked his business for the
, time being.
The conatables also toon out a
search warrant"! and, assisted by
Deputy Sheriff Ross, searched Set-
tleinyer’s other place of business, we
learn without discovering any irregu-
I larities there. Dut they swore out
a warrant before Judge I. G. Sar-
| ratt charging Link Settlemyer, a son
of A. J. Settlemyer with violation of
l the Dispensary law and the Judge
i held him in a bond of $200 dollars to
anpear before him on the 5th day of
Xovember for a preliminary hearing.
A Big Day for the Baptists.
On Sunday, Xovember 13th, in the
forenoon at 11 o’clock “Furman Cni-
versity” day will bo observed at the
First Baptist church in this city.
The Lad'p’s Missionary Societies in
the county are requested tosenddtdc-
gatesto this meeting. All delegates
sojselected. who will attend, will
please notify Mrs. A. V. Montgomery
so that entertainment may be pro
vided for them.
In the evening of the same day a
‘Trace Jubilee” service will be held.
Dr. A. P. Montague, of Furman Uni
versity, has been invited, and unless
providentially hindered, will be pres
ent and preside at both services. The
public in general is invited to he pres
ent on this occasion.
The Graded Schools.
The second month of the Gaffney
Graded Schools closed last Friday.
The total attendance is 550. The
average attendance the past month
at school Xo. 1 was 93 pe^ cent, of
the total attendance. The reports
show a fair average, both in scholar
ship and deportment, while the re
ports from the regular monthly exam
inations are very gratifying.
The teachers are all competent and
full of enthusiasm for their work, and
in order to increase their efficiency
they have begun a systematic course
of study in Pedagogy.
With such work and enthusiasm of
both pupils and teachers none but
best results can be looked for.
Will Sow Wheat.
A prominent farmer on Cherokee
Creek in this county while in Tin:
Ledger office on day last week told
us something that is tangible. He
said he would in a few days begin
sowing wheat and would this fall
sow one hundred acres of this grain,
which has been so much neglected in
this section for so many years. He
said by planting one hundred acres
in wheat his cotton crop for next
year would be reduced fully one-half,
as he would sow a full crop of oats
and plant his usual crop of corn.
This man has never bought corn and
knows how to sensibly reduce the
cotton crop.
Mountain Wagons.
The mountain wagon trade is now,
as it has aways been, quite a valuable
business feature in Gaffney. These
mountain wagoners invarably know
the value of the produce they haul,
never sell till they get its full value,
make thei^purchases in a business
like manner and can tell you all
about Xorth Carolina politics.
