Tim Jiii|>r«*Minft'Mii<l<( upon tin- Tin- llt-Hw hy tilt- Saiidliipix'iti, |<'Icvcliiiit Star.] The j**xcursion from Gaffney City and Blacksburg Inst Friday hud about 200 on bourj. Shelby people were happy toweicomo the “beauty and chivalry’’ of Cherokee county and they all conducted themselves like true gentlemen and perfect ladies al ways do. During their stay here the town belonged to them and a large number of them visited Cleveland Springs during the day. May they repeat their visit in the near futnre and bring a larger crowd next time. Among the good Gaffney people who were hcrejon the [excursion lust Friday and called at this office we note the following: J. It. Beason, a former Cleveland county boy and now a successful merchant; Rev. J. M. Bridges, who labored so long in this county and who is now doing a great work as pastor of the Second .Baptist Church in Gaffney,Jtho genialJW. H. ; Ross, a brother of one of Shelby’s popular citizens. M. L. Ross, who is always welcome here, and Col. T. B Butler, a bright and successful young lawyer, who is popular wherever k nown. Editor Ed. If. DeCamp, and Messrs. Bakerjund Hopper, of the Gaffney Ledger were Shelby visitors last Fri day and pleasant callers at this office. The Ledger is one of the most pro gressive and enterprising papers in the Palmetto State and merits the ex tensive patronage it is receiving. [SluUiuy Aurora.] The excursion from Gaffney on last Friday brought about two hundred of that thriv Jing citizens. Most of the excursionists spent the day at Cleveland Springs. Baring the un fortunate affray between Barrett and Spencer, the day was pleasant and the crowd orderly. At 4 o’clock in the afternoon the game of ball be tween Shelby and Gaffney was played resulting in an over whelming defeat of the visitors. For the first four innings the game promised to be a close contest, but in the fifth the visitors went tojpieces, and from that time to the close it was just a walk over. For Gaff ney, Humphries and Jones did part of the batter} work. Humphries be ing relieved by Richardson. They pitched very good ball, but their sup port was at times ragged. Gaffney’s besi players were Humphries, Jones, Brown and Richardson. The game was entirely free from unv unseemly wrangles and was won on its merits. Tht- Drought Kndt'il. The long drought of nearly nine weeks was ended Monday afternoon and night, when fine showers fell in nearly every part of the county, with THE GREAT FOURTH. Out- Solid Day of [tt al, Oooil T.njoynit-nt for thoHt' Who Alttuiil. Are you coming to Gaffney on the Fourth? If you do not you will miss one of the host opportunities to laugh and have a good time that lias ever been presented to you. Think about the fun of watching a fellow trying to climb u twenty foot pole that is us slick us glass and greased besides. Think of a crowd of boys chasing a half grown hog that bus hud all the hair shaved off and then been dipped in a kit of grease. Think of a crowd of buys eatina pies for a prize. Think of a crowd of bright faced little girls chasing a luml). Think of the baseball, the bicycle racing, the potato races, the wheel barrow races and the sack races, to say nothing of the magnifi cent and ennobling speeches we will have on that day and if you cannot think of enjoying yourself in the midst of ail this why shut yourself up in your box-turtle like selfishness and stay away from the gay and fes- | live throng that will predominate the historic ground of beautiful Lime stone on the Fourth. Another feature of the day will he a barbecue dinner, furnished by Messrs. McGuinn, Holt ik Settk- moyer. It is safe to say that the dinner will be all that the most fastidious epicurian could desire. Let every man, woman and child j within the bounds of Cherokee, who can do so without positive injury to themselves, lie present on that day. It will be a gala day for all. We extend a .-ptciul invitation to our friends from all parts of the county. Let BiucksKurg and ail the good people from the other side of the Broad come over that day and mingle with the people of this side. Let us all become better acquainted with each other. This celebration is meant to give all a good time and everybody is invited to be present. ; —■■■■- .. —.... . — ... | — "Little Strokes Fell Great Oaks.” The giants of the forest must yield at last to the continual bl&a s of the <woods- j man.

In a recent issue of The Ledger we publislud an advertisement for a br'ght young man who was willing to work. Before the advertisement was published the position was filled. We have received not less than twenty-live replies to that advertise ment—some of them from other states. We are sorry that we cannot find employment for all the appli cants. The moral is—when you want help use the columns of The Ledger. a refreshing shower Tuesday after noon also. Vegetation has taken on new life and is glowing vigorously. Farmers have dropped their dry weather gait. Every man and team are putting in their best luying-by licks and are coming in on the last quarter in fine shape. The lands from which wheat and oats have been harvested are being fertilized and sown in peas, which will improve the land and yield a crop which is un surpassed as a forage crop. If any hay is shipped to Cherokee county next your it will be because our farm ers will not make a supply, and not because they cannot. Conti-iM-tM I .lit. The contracts for the addition to Limestone College and for the First Biptist church were let Monday evening. L. W. Cooper it Co., of this city, got the brick work for both building, and H. M.

Lipscomi) & Alexander. | S. S. S. is tiie Only Remedy Equal to litis Obstinate Disease. There arednzensof remedies recommended for Scrofula, gome of them no doubt being able to afford temporary relief, but S. S. S. ig absolutely tho only remedy which completely euros it. .Scrofula isonoof the most obstinate, deep-seated blood diseases, ami is beyond tho reach of the many so-called purifiers and tonics because some thing more than a mere tonic is required. S. 8. M. is equal to any blood trouble, and never fails to cure Scrofula, because it goes down to tho seat of the disease, thus permanently eliminating every trace of tho taint. < The serious consequences to which Scrofula surely leads should imprers upon those afflicted with it the vital im portance of wasting no time upon treatment which can not possibly effect u cure. In many case ’ where the wrong treatment has been relied upon, complicated glandular swellings have resulted, for which the doctors insist that a dangerous surgical operation is necessary. Mr. H. E. Thompson,of Milledgeville, Ga., writes: “A bad case of Scrofula broke out on tho glands of my neck, which had to be lanced and caused me much suffering. I was treated for a long while, but the physicians were un able to cure me, and my condition was as bad as when I began their treatment. Many blood remedies were used, but without effect. Some one recommended S. S. S., and I began to improve as soon as I had taken a few bottles. Continuing the remedy, I was soon cured permanently, and have never had a sign of the disease t<> return.” Swift's Speciflc- —i« the only remedy which can promptly reach and cure obstinate, floop-sented blood diseases. By relying upon it, and not experimenting with the various so-called tonics, etc., all sufferers from blood troubles can be promptly cured, instead of enduring years of suffering which gradually but surely undermines the constitution. S. S. S. is guaranteed purely vegetable, and never foils to cure Scrofula, Eczema. Cancer, Rheumatism, Contagious Blood Poison, Boils, Tetter, Pimples, Sores, Ulcers, etc. Insist upon S S S.; nothing can take its place!
