GALLED TO HER
HEAVENLY HOME,
Miss Fannie Jones Passes to
Her Reward.
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.

There are two hundred under the

they will need two hundred barrels

Cannot Gaffney secure at least one
of these? If you cannot give it your

a barrel to the orphans? The or

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.

THE JAIL ACCEPTED.
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.

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.
