LOVELY CHRISTIAN LADY The (Jrlin Itenper I'luckx One of (JalTiicy'* Fairest Fhmerw.—A Leader in the Church and Sahluith School.—A Devoted Daugh ter and Loving Sinter. Again the death angel has visited us and plucked from our midst one of the fairest flowers that ere bloom ed, one of the purest ami sweetest of earthly mortals, one who by her Christ-like devotion to her friends, and to poor fallen humanity, could truly bo called a Christian. Miss Fannie Jones is no more. Her soul has answered the summons of Him who gave her for a short while to this mundane sphere, and has passed to that undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns- She lias been called to her reward among the blessed. The summons came Wednesday shortly after noon. It was not un expected for Miss Jones had been sick for several weeks, the last few of which she was desperately ill, and daily the inquiry has been, “How is Miss Fannie Jones?” While death has been expected for some weeks, still loving relatives and friends hoped against fate, and the end came while all that could bo done by ten der hands and skilled science was be ing done for the sullerer. Miss Jones was the daughter of Mr. John Jones, one of the most highly respected citizens of this place. She was a devoted daughter and a true Christian woman. For years she has been the .leading fe male teacher in the I'resbytcrian Sunday school, and also one of the leading members of that church. She died as she had Jived—a noble hearted Christian woman. Her pres ence will be missed. Her influence for good will live long after her, but there will always be an aching void in the home circle, in the ehurch, and in the social circle in which she moved. Deceased was about forty-five years of age. She moved to Gafiney with her father and family about fifteen years ago. She had a number of sisters and brothers, among those who survive her being Mr. J. ]). Jones, of this city, Mr. Wm. Jones, of Texas, and Mr. James Rutchford, a half-brother, also of Texas. The funeral took place yesterday morning at 10:30 o’clock from the Presbyterian church. The funeral was most impressively conducted by the beloved pastor of the deceased, Rev. C. E. Robertson. The high tribute paid was worthy of the min ister and the estimable character which he portrayed. The interment took piaco at Limestone cemetery. The pali bearers were Col. J. G. Wardlaw, W. M. Webster, .las. 11. Bell, Dr. J. F. Garrett, F. G. Stacy and J. 1). Goudelock. THE GRADED SCHOOLS. An Lflicu-nt CorpH of Ti'iti'lii-rx l’iiil«-r an Alili- Director. All the Graded Schools in the city are now in full blast with fully four hundred pupils in attendance, with ample provisions for a ten months term. The teachers are busy divid ing the children off into classes with a view to the accommodation of the hundred or more yet to enter. They are putting every part of the machin ery in perfect shape and will scruti nize it closely and see that every where it is properly adjustable, so it can do the best possible work. The new teachers all come to us after years of experience in their profession, and so well recommended that the successful performance of their duties is preassured; and the teachers who have taught in the schools before are so well known for their efficiency and painstaking care with their pupift it is unnecessary to futher refer to them in Gaffney. With this strong corps of educated and refined men and women under the direction of Prof. It. (). Sams, the able superintendent, with whom teaching has been a life work, we feel that Gaffney has one of the best equipped systems of Graded Schools in the State, and congratulate our selves on its possible good work. Our people have gladly Incurred the expense of running these schools, which is an assurance that they re alize their importance and possible benefits and that they will, by re quiring close attendance of their children, see that the benefits in tended will be received by them. A Kitrn Opportunity. Doctor Lodge, president of Lime stone College, will, during the next session, give a course in the French language, which will be especially adapted not only to the needs of the students of the college but also to those of all ladies interested in the beautiful speech and rich literature of the famous nation whoso history lias been interlaced with that of the United States, i.adieu who do not take the regular course can for a small fee take this department of Limestone College. Dr. Lodge is one of the finest French scholars in America. He speaks and writes French in a man ner equal to that of the most cul tured Frenchman, and those who embrace the opportunity now offered will never regret it.

It takes one barrel of Hour to pro vide broad for oue person for one your. There are two hundred under the care of the Thorn wed I Orphanage and they will need two hundred barrels during the ensuing twelve months. Cannot Gaffney secure at least one of these? If you cannot give it your self are there not neighbors of yours who will join in with you and so send a barrel to the orphans? The or phanage will cheerfully pay the freight. Who could refuse a gift of broad to the fatherless children? They are not asking us to do it all. Although none of the orphans are Clinton-born, that little town headed the flour supply with eighteen barrels last year, and will do it again this year. Send gifts of money to Rev. Dr. Jacobs, but send gifts of provisions simply to Thornwell Orphanage, Clinton, K. C. Sii\«* Huy. In a conversation with Mr. J. I. Sarratt, one of the most practical business men In the county, being both a successful merchant and fanner, we found that he is a great advocate of the use of more hay and less grain for feeding stock. Mr. Sarratt runs a large farm on which he works ten or twelve mules, and he says when they are not at work in the winter he feeds them on pea vine or grass hay alone, and that they fatten on it. Mr. Surratt is so well known in Cherokee, and his success has been so uniform we deem it only neces sary to give our readers his practice in order to get them to adopt tt and induce them to use every eilort to gather a large crop of hay this fall, when it is so apparent that the grain crop will be short. Sorghum. The sorghum cane mills and evapo rators are in operation now in the county. We learn that the crop has been materielly affected by the drouth, but where people have tried to they will make enough molasses for home use. The sorghum crop has already assumed an importance that was once little expected, and its possibilities are still greater than is now realized. It is now known to be one the best forage crops and that the best molas ses we get is made from its juices. Stick to it farmers. Corner*tone of New Ituptist Chtireli.

The Hoard of County Coinnitsslouvr* De ceived 11 \ estertlny. The board of county commissioners met in a cal! meeting yesterday and visited the now county jail which has just boon completed. Tito jail was 1 built by the I’owley Jail Company under*the supervision of .Mr. Will T. Landrum, and is a model in architect ure and workmanship, with all mod ern appliances for the safekeeping and comfort of prisoners with ample ample living apartments for the use of the jailer. The commissioners in a hotly made a dose inspection of the jail in all its parts and not only accepted it, but were loud in their praises of the building and the faithful manner in which the contract had been exe cuted. Cherokee’s new jail is a credit to the county, an ornament to the city and an object lesson of the wisdom and splendid management of Super visor Lipscomb and the entire board of county commissioners. Supervisor Lipscomb has given the construction of the jui! ids personal attention every day since dirt was broken for it, inspecting all material as it was placed in the building, which, if nothing else was known, is an asurance of the good character of the building. , Terrill** Storini*.

Mrs. Morgan's residence at the old Arnold place was moved front the foundation, the chimney was wrenched and badly damaged and some of her outbuildings were un roofed.

ONLY ONE CURE 1 FOR MFOLA. S. S. S. is the Only Remedy Equal to this Obstinate Disease. There are dozen* of remedies recommended for S«roftila, .some of them no doubt being able to afford temporary relief, tint S. 8. 8. is absolutely ' the only rotnedv which completely cures it. Scrofula is one or the most obstinate, deep-seated blood diseases, and is beyond *he reach of the many so-called purifiers and tonics because some thing more than a mere tonic is required. S. S. 8. is equal to any blood trouble, and never fails to cure Scrofula, because it goes down to the seat of the disease, thus permanently eliminating every trace of the taint. The serious consequences to which Scrofula surely leads should impress upon those afflicted with it the vital im portance of wasting no time upon treatment which can not possibly effect a cure. In many cases where the wrong treatment lias been relied upon, complicated glandular swellings have resulted, for which the doctors insist that a dangerous surgical operation is necessary. Mr. H. K. Thompson,of Milledgeville, Gn., writes: “A bad case of Scrofula broke out on tho glands of my neck, which had to be lanced nnd caused me much suffering. I was treated for u 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. 8. 8., 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 to return.” Swift’s Specific— S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD —is tne only remedy which can promptly reach and cure obstinate, deep-seated blood diseases. By reiving upon it, and not experimenting with the various so-cnllcd tonics, etc., all sulTerers from blood troubles can be promptly cured, instead of enduring years cl suffering which gradually but surely undermines the constitution. S. 8. 8. is guaranteed purely vegetable, and never fails to cure Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer, Rheumatism, Contagious Blood Poison, Boils, Tetter, Pimnles, Sores, F leers, etc. Insist upon S 8 S.; nothing can take its place! Books on blood and skin diseases will be mailed free to any address by the Swift Specific Company, Atlanta, Georgia. m*.
