Case of Poisoning
Hood’s Sarsaparilla Drives the Poi
son from the System, Qmcts
the Nerves, Relieves Dyspepsia
and Catarrh.
“ While in the army I was poisoned in
wardly with poison oak, and I did not get
well for 15 years. My blood became so
affected that I was taken with a hacking
cough, and I was thought to be going
into consumption. 1 took many different
medicines without avail, and finally re
solved to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. When
1 bad finished taking the first bottle the
pimples began to disappear from my
body, and after! had taken three Ijotth'S
I waa well. I have also suffered with ca
tarrh in the head and bare been taking
Hood’s Sarsaparilla for this trouble, and
it helps me. In fact I take it for all ail
ments and believe it has no equal as a
blood purifier. It quiets the nerves and
gives refreshing sleep. It has relieved
mo of dyspepsia and built me up." J. I.

An Enterprising Company.
The Limestone Lime Company, of
this city, is now shipping all the lime
they can make. Their kilns are in
the city, and their supply of Limestone
is inexaustible. Making limo is an
important industry in Gaffney and
furnishes employment to a large ,
member of men. Carroll Sc Com- ,
pany are the lessees of the lime
works and the business managers are
Messrs. Boyd L. Haines and 1>. R. ;
Lavender, and well do they know
their business. When liir.e sells ^
there is life in the land.
Farmers Sowing Oats.
People in Cherokee are sowing oats
as well as wheat. 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.

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.

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.
Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup cures the
most stubborn coughs, colds and lung
affections. Even incipient consump
tion has been successfully cured by
this marvelous remedy. Sufferers
will obtain relief after u few doses.
