They are also care ful in the preparation of the soil for their crop, and are using fertilizers freely. A very few acres well cared for and seeded to oats will feed u work animal a year, and very much better too, than the few hands full of light western corn and hay that some Cherokee horses have lived on so poorly, so long. — . «•»- • — Unclaimed Letters.

SARRATT. He Died of Heart Failure Night. Our community was shocked early Monday night by the announcement of the sudden death of Hon. A. A. Sar- ratt, of this city, which occured at 8 o’clock p. m. while he was sitting in a chair around the family hearthstone with his children. Mr. Sarratt had been a little unwell for some weeks but had continued to move about and look after his large farming interest in the county. But no one thought him seriously ill and hence the great shock when it was learned that he had died. He died from heart failure. Mr.Sarratt was in his fifty-fifth year. He was prominent in the county as a business man and had held honorable official position. He was twice elected to the House of Re presentatives from Union county and was for some time a member of the board of directors of the State peni tentiary and served with benefit to the State and credit to himself in both positions. He was a gallant soldier in the (Confederate army, being a lieutenant in the Holcomb Legion of this State, which belonged to Evans Brigades. Mr. Sarratt was a model husband, father and neighbor and bad the confidence of a large circle of relatives and friends who deeply feel their loss and sincerely mourn it and sympa thize with his breaved children. The funeral services were held in the First Methodist church yesterday afternoon. The sermond was preached b’- lev. T. M. Dent, after which the body was taken charge of by the Knights of Honor and buried by them according to the rites of their order in Limestone cemetery. The pail bearers were, J. T. Burges, W. H. Smith, J. C. Pryor. L. G. Byars, X. H. Ijittlejohn and J. D. Goudelock. -— — Burglars at Work Again. Last Saturday night one of the front windows of A. J. Settleraeyer’s store was broken by some one throwing a stone against it, but the opening made was too small to admit the burglar and no attempt was made to enter the house. On Sunday night at 2 o’clock a. m. a big plate glass in the front of the store of the Gaffney Manufacturing Company was broken cut in the same way. But this time Mr. Robert Munro, who was sleeping in the store awoke and as the burglars ran off he shot at them twice. The night was very dark and it is not likely that Mr. Munro’s shots were effective. The escape of the gang of wholesale theives. who stole goods from nearly every store in the city some weeks ago, from punishment, has embolden thtm, or others, to begin operations again. This time by midnight bur glary instead of sneak thife shop lifting as before. There is little prospect of the bur glars being caught. As far as we know, there is no clue to work from. The pity is that they were not killed in their tracks by Mr. Munro’s shots. McArthur-Jefferies. Mr. W. T. McArthur, of Chickasaw county Miss., and Miss Sally Jefferies of this city were married on the evening of the Ittth inst. at the Methodist parsonage in this city by Rev. T. M. Dent. Mr. McArthur is a son of Hon. Joseph McArthur, of Mississippi who was born and raised in this section and whose popularity at his old home would give his son an entrece to all that is good in Gaffney if he had been unknown. But Thad is well known here, having been a pupil of the Gaffney Male and Female Institute some years ago. He is a worthy son of a worthy sire and has captured ar.d taaen to his home in Mississippi one of Gaff ney’s roost charming and attractive young ladies. One who will be much missed in society circles here. Mr. and Mrs. McArthur left for their western home on Monday night and carried with them the best wishes of their numerous friends in Gaffoey, The Thornwell Orphanage. The Thornwell Orphanage, under Monday t i, e cure 0 f Southern Presbyterians, is located in Clinton, South Carolina. It is itself a little village of family cottages, in which reside one hundred I-Tor—^ Huiltling .and Plastering Lime, Coal, Shingles, Laths and Plaster Hair, Dynamite, Blasting Powder, Fuse and Dynamite Caps, call on THE LIMESTONE SPRINGS LIME WORKS, Telephone r*7. CARROLL & CO., Lessees and seventy five fatherless children, with their teachers and matrons. Here too are the buildings for school and trade work, for both boys and girls are thoroughly fitted to care for themselves before being sent out into the world. These orphans are received from any State, and without regard to denominational affinities. The or phans of Presbyterian parentage are in the minority. No indenturing or binding in or out, ns in most homes, is required of the orphans. Love and advantage are the all-powerful means of discipline. The support of these children is provided by "whosoever will.” It is wholly voluntary. If any reader of these lines is led to help them, he can send his gift to ‘‘Thornwell Or phanage, Clinton, S. C.” Provisions are as useful as money, where they can more easily be spared. At these thanksgiving times, our hearts are all alive with gratitude to God. How can we better show it than by pitying the fatherless? Dr. Jacobs, the head of the Or phanage. will gladly give information to any desiring to know more of this remarkable and in some respects, pioneer work for the orphans.
