We are selling agents for Gaffney and vicinity for the Gaffney Carpet Manufacturing Company. Without hesitation we can say the goods made by this concern are equal if not superior to any carpets sold in the south. It should be tin* pride of every Cherokeean to boast of the fact that he has upon the floor of his home a carpet made in his own county and as good a carpet as is made anywhere. This is the only carpet mill in the south and we should encourage home industry by patron izing it. 1 ’ CVI* OOI lies.

The intermediate class lacks but two weeks of finishing the work in Wentworths Practical Arithmatic. This may be taken as a fair sample of the work being done. During the next term of ten weeks, and longer if re quired, lessons will be given in prac tical book-keeping. These will be directed in such u manner as to get the best results with the most benefit to the students. There is universal need for just such systematic work in keeping accounts in every family. Arbor Day. State Superintendent of Education W. I). Mayfield, has issued the fol- lowirg to the State Schools cflic, rs and teachers: l call to your attention, that you may observe its provisions, the fol lowing act: SErnox. 1. “Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, that the free public schools of this State shall observe tiie third Friday in November of each year as Arbor Day, and on that day the school officers and teachers shall conduct such exercises and engage in the planting of such shrubs, plants, and rrces as will impress on the minds of the pupils tiie proper value and appreciation to be placed on ' flowers, ornamental shrubbery, and shade trees. “Approved tiie Kith day of Febru ary, A. D. l8!)8.” If for any good reason the day ! named in the Act cannot be observed i by a school, tiie observance of some ! other day will be a compliance with the spirit of the law. Thirty-nine States and Territories now observe Arbor Day. I leave it to you to decide what you plant, and what exercise you will have. I call attention to the fact that this State has no State Flower. Most of the States have one. On Arbor Day a State Flower may be adopted by permitting the pupils to vote for the flower of their choice. Teachers should report the result of the vote in their respective schools to the County Superintendent of Education, who will tabulate the vote of his county and report to the State Su perintendent of Education, who will tabulate the vote of the State and announce the result. The Ledger hopes that tha day will be observed by all the schools in Cherokee. The effects would soon be visible, and those who are children now will point with pride in after years to their work.
