There will bo a private picnic afc Chorokee ford to-day in which a num ber of Gatlney’s good people will participate. A charter has been issued to the Cherokee Manufacturing Company, j of Blacksburg, capital #<'>,000, to , 1 manufacture brick. The many friends of Miss Lila C. ^ Bu id will be delighted to know that j ! she is now at Charlottsvilie, \ a., j where she is enjoying a most pleas- j 1 ant vacation.

Will Darby and Will Sarralt, the : winners of the first and second prizes . | in the three mile bicycle race at , Limestone on the Fourth will run a race this afternoon at the same place. ; The Confederate Veterans of this | State will meet at Chester on V ed- ; . nesduy.the 20th inst., for a two days , i session. We wish the old soldiers a merry time and many more re-unions. : Local news is as scarce as the pre- verbiai hen teeth these days and un* | less something turns up pretty soon I we think we will shut down fora week or two and go to the mountains for a rest. Manager Pridmore. of the GafTney baseball team, is endeavoring to make arrangt inenta to take the boys on a tour. Having materially strength ened the team he will try to make i arrangements to play Mountain Island, the crack team of North Caro- i lina, during the trip. At the Graded Soool building next j Sabbath Rev. B. P. Robertson will j speak on “The Copstraining Power of the Love of Christ.” In the evening ! the subject will be “The Christian’s Heaven.” Mr. Robertson desires | that all the members of the church who can possibly do so will attend. What is the matter with our cor respondents? They must ho pretty busy t hose days. However, we would like for the boys and girls to remem ber that The Ledger is stiil being published and that we want the news from all sections. Don't forget us, friends, but let us hear from you of- t, u and regularly. Mr. .I,. I,; Little has had all that r maim 1 >( the old Baptist church reinovt d from the lot ami the build ers will commence J 'pvralions on the new structim in a short while. The building committee reports that the subscribers are coming forward with their subscriptions and that there will be no delay about the matter. The contract for the steam heating pluni if Limestone College has been let to a responsible ptrty. and the fixtures will soon begin to arrive. The boiler, we are told, will bo of six ty horse power, and a radiutur will be placed in every dormitory in the | building, while the halls and all the | larger rooms will be amply supplied. We do not see the name of a repre sentative from Cherokee county as attending the good roads convention i in Charlotte this week. It is a pity ; that our county commissioners did J not send a represenative to that con vention. A gooil man with an eye to busines could have learned more about the building of good roads in the riimo days session than he could learned in a year of practical exper ience.

The specimens were very pretty but are not of sufficient size to be of much value.

You’ll Be Sorry When you see your neighbor standing ahead of you in the Class of Progress. Then you will regret that you did not keep abreast ofthe times too by reading The Ledger, of this last Mon day after un illness of about a week. Death was due to a stroke of pvraly- sis which the deceased received about two weeks ago. On Saturday, July 1st, Mr. Clary was at Spartanburg. He had gone to the roller mills for a load of Hour and was driving up Main street when he felt the stroke of paralysis coming on him. A few minutes afterward he fell from the wagon from the elfects of the stroke. Mr. Clary was taken home and medi cal aid summoned but all that could be done for him was of no avail. He succutnhered to the stroke us an nounced. Mr. Clary was in his forty-third year. He was a member of Mace donia church where he joined about twenty-two years ago De ceased leaves a wife and ten children. The funeral was preached at Mace donia church Tuesday by Rev. J. M Bridges, of the Second Baptist church of this city. The large concourse which attended the funeral was but a brief testimony of the esteem in which the dead man was held by IBs neighbors.

This fearful disease often first appears as a mere scratch, a pimple, or lump in the breast, too small to attract any notice, until, in many cases, the deadly disease is fully developed. Cancer can not bo cured by a surgical operation, because the disease is a virulent poison in the blood, circulating throughout the system, and although T the sore or ulcer—known as the Cancer—may be cut away, the V poison remains in the blood, and promptly breaks out afresh, with renewed violence. The wonderful success of S. S. S. in curing obstinate, deep-seated blood diseases which were considered incurable, induced a few de spairing sufferers to try it for Cancer, after exhausting the skill of the physicians without a cure. Much to their de-light S. S. S. proved equal to the disease and promptly effected a cure. The glad news spread rapidly, qnd it was soon demonstfated _ beyond doubt that a cure had at last been found for deadly Cancer. Evidence has accu mulated which is incontrovertible, of which the following is a specimen : “Cancer is hereditary in our family, my father, a sister and an aunt having died from this dreadful disease. My feelings may oe imagined when the hor rible disease made its appearance on ray side. It was a malignant Cancer, eating inwardly in such a way as to cause great alarm. The disease seemed beyond "the skill of the doctors, for their treatment did no good whatever, the Cancer growing worse all the while. Numerous remedies were used for it but the Cancer grew steadily worse, until it seemed that 1 was doomed to follow tiie others of the family, for I know how deadly Cancer is, especially when inherited. I was advised to try Swift’s Sjviflc (8. S. 8 ), which, from the first day, forced out the poison. I continued its use until I had taken eighteen bottles, when I was cured sound and well, and have had no symptoms of the dreadful allliction, though many years have elapsed. S. 8.
