At 9 o'clock Dr. Talley introduced to the audience—an unusually intel ligent audience, by the way—James T Bacon, gentleman and scholar, who at once began to move the slides of “Am Old Man’s Krunky Kaleido scope.” Col. Bacon invested his lecture with all the delicate touches of humor and pathos which have made his writings a delight to thousands of Carolinians, together with the added clmrin of a delightful perso.i' Union Meeting. The Northern Division Union of | Broad River Association met with 1 Beaver Dam church last Friday and organized by electing Mr. King Ed wards moderator. Religions services were conducted by Elder Thomason. Saturday the Union was snowed out. But on Sunday it met and heard a most excellent sermon from Rev. \V. E. Crocker, of Shelby, on foreign missions. The little congre gation was so inspired by the senium | that it contributed a creditable sum , lor foreign missions. The next meeting of Die Union will be with the Second Baptist church in Gaffney. - —— ■+•+- — ~ — More Houses. While our builders are busy work ing on houses in cvfry quarter of the city, there is still a demand for more houses. Not a day passes but we see people hunting houses to rent, and in every instance are compelled to tell Hum “if there is a vacant bouse in the city we do not know of it.” Numbers have utterly failed to get houses and have thus been compelled Catarrh Leads to Consumption.

English was huightened by the tx- prcsi-ivi ness of his face uml the sym pathetic quality and admirable modulation of his voice. The views presented by Col. Bacon were of the past and of the present. The story of the faithful “mummy” of his childhood, from the time when j in the heyday of her strength and i ! power, she dominated the household, old and young,^white and black, even to the point of revising the “Bis- cople” catechism, to her death-bed and to file torchiit funeral in the forest, was touchingly und truthfully tol.i, and the picture of the colored •queen of the kitchen” of today was drawn with a strong hand and from tike life. But Col. Bacon is a very versatile man. His sketches are not only of the home and fireside, but of the | madding”—ihe swirl and hush, the squeeze and crush of the ball room, .ake the little lord, hepells of whis pered conversations in conservatories, of couples that “sit out” in window seals. And ih m he goes shopping! le is a ladies man and he revels in ruching and lingerie. A conserva tive ladies man, however, and not a dress reformer, he clings to the kirts of forty-five years ago and balks at bloomers, though hearing the tramp of the coming woman, he very gracefully casted an anchor to wind ward and paid a handsome tri- jute to Mrs. Virginia D. Young, the advanced woman suffragist. As a lecturer, Col. Bacon is a dis tinct success. Even to the young and thoughtless he must be enter taining, but to those of us with memories, to hear him is to turn over slowly the perfumed pages of a oved and long unopened book—a jock of poems.—Columbia State. Col. Bacon will lecture in this city tomorrow night at the Gaffney Semi nary under the auspices of the La dies Aid Society of the Presbyterian church. We can assure all who at tend that they will spend a most de- ightful evening. Mr. Bacon should )e greeted with a large audience and we trust all Gaffney will avail itself of this rare opportunity to hear a rare man on u rare subject. Snow. Last Friday the cold wave signal was hoisted. In a few hours it was preceptibly colder and the ebuds her gan to gather. By night the clouds were thick and tho temperature had fallen enough to make people gather around the home fires early. Satur day morning the ground was covered with snow and it. was still falling, and continued to do so until one o’clock p. in., by which time the snow was about four inches deep but melting. The ,sun came cut and furnished fine prospects for a good supply of mud for some days. ■**+*■+■ — The Gay and Festive Darkey. Some of the negroes who went from here to Dunbarton, in the lower part of the State, to work on a rail road grade for W. O. Lipscomb & Bro., overdrawed what was due them for work and skipped, They soon re turned to Gaffney, Mr. W. O. Lips comb was soon on hand top and had them put up for getting goods under false pretenses. The scheme to them, seemed a good one, but may prove rather serious. These Saw Sousa Play the Band. Among the Gaffney people who heard Sousa in Spartanburg, were Col. J. G. Wardlaw, A. N. Wood, Miss Ida Wood, Miss Fannie Ward- law, Col. T. B.

All returned to the city Friday morning in fine spirits, and highly pleased with the concert. Let our capitalists ami house build ers get together and stop this.

Gilmer, formerly of 1 this city, but who has been living in Texas for nine years, has returned to the city with lierjfamily. Mr-'. GUimr has many relatives and friends in Gaffney and Cherokee who are pleased to have her come hack and make her home with us again. Though ils offensive features are sometime* almost unbearable, few people are aware of the danger of which Catarrh is the forerun ner. Catarrh invariably leads to Consumption. Growing worse and worse each winter, those who rely upon the usual treatment of sprays, washes and inhaling mix tures find that it is impossible to check the disease with these local applications which only reach the surface. The ofTensive discharge increases ail the while, causing a feeling of personal defilement, and get s deeper and deeper until it is only a question of a short time until the lungs are affected. The importance of the proper treatment can therefore be readily appreciated. But no good what ever can be expected from local applications, as such treatment never did cure Catarrh, and never will. “I had such a severe case of Catarrh that I lost my hearing in one ear, and part of the bone in my nose sloughed off. I was constantly treated with sprays and washes, but each winter the disease seemed to have a firmer hold on me. I had finally lieen de clared incurable when I decided to try S. S. S. it seemed to get right at the seat of the disease, and cured me permanently, for 1 have hud no touch of Catarrh for seven years. “MkH. JOHKIMIINK PoLIULL, “Due West, S. C.” Those who have had the first touch of Catarrh will save endless suffering by tak ing the right remedy at tho outset. Others who have for years sought re lief and found only disappoint ment in local treatment will find it wise to waste no further timo on sprays, washes, inhaling mix tures, etc., which are only tempo rary and can not save them from Consumption. Catarrh is a deep- seated blood disease. S. S. S. is the only remedy which can reach the very bottom of tho disease and cure it permanently.
