Mr. Littlejohn’s many friends will wish him a speedy recovery from his indisposition. \Irs T II. McSwu’n, the aged wido.. ..me late Rev. L. H. Mc- Swain, who lives in Cherokee county near Grover, is very lo<v and h.er rela tives and friends are apprehensive of her restoration to health. Mr. James A. Harris, of Algood, brought to this office Saturday what is probably the longest com stalk that has been grown in this county this year. It measured fourteen feet and four and one-half inches. Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Morgan, of the Goucher neighborhood, will move to Gaffney to live. Material is now be ing placed on the ground for a neat six room cottage, whicli will be oc cupied by them, on Johnson street.

Rurgess, one of Cherokee's good farmers, made twenty-eight gallons of molases from one-fourth of an acre of cane. He also made fif teen tons of hay this year. Mr. Rurgess was in the city Saturday and is a type of what might be called an independent farmer. Constables Eubanks and Howell were in the city Saturday. They seized four and one-half gollons of whiskey from John J. Pwis which he bad for his own use. A number of good people think that the whiskey was seized wrongfully and that it should he returned to Mr. Paris. E. A. Ellis, a hustling planter from Grassy Pond, brought to this office Saturday a specimen of African Limb less cotton grown on his place. To the unpracticed eye the cotton is not very different from the ordinary plant, but Mr. Ellis assures us that he will make not less than a bale of cotton on half acre he has in cultiva tion. The stalk shown at this office has about sixty well developed bolls on it. OPENING AT LIMESTONE. Death of Mm. Wllkinx.

The cut was on the arm and was of severe a nature ns to require several stitches. From the evidence adduced at the mayor’s court yesterday morning it seems that the cutting was entirely unpro- voiied. It seems that the young man was intoxicated. Manus and Sum Rodgers, a young man who loaned Manus the knife with which the cut ting was done, plead guilty when arrainged. Manus was lined $25 and Rodgers $1. her husband and several children who have the sympathy of their many relatives and friends in their sad bereavement. The funeral services were con ducted at the Petty graveyard Sat urday where the remains were in terred in the presence of many sor rowing friends and relatives. La vernier-Atlkim.

The happy young couple have the best wishes of a host of admiring friends in their married life. Gold Dust. The Best Washing Powder. Cleans Everything from Cellar to Garret. JO* © ' I nioii'H Firnfc Grocery Stow;. Our venerable friend Joseph Bailey, of Lockhart, was a welcome visitor at this office Saturday. In convirsaticn with The Ledger reporter the old gen tleman grew reminiscent, and among the interesting things that he men tioned was the establishment of the first exlusive grocery store that was established in Union. The store was established by McNally <fc Johnson about the year 1852. The first stock of goods was a very light one, as the venture was a new departure in mer chandising in this section. There were a number of dry goods and gen eral merchandise establishments in 4he town, but no exclusive grocery business. This was due to the fact that nearly everybody raised all the provisions they used except their sugar and coffee, and this was. kept in stock by the general merchandise stores. When a man wanted to buy meat and flour or meal, and such things as couid be raised On llie farm, he never thought of going to a store, hut went to a neighbor who raised a plenty fof himself and a surplus to sell. This country would prosper as no country has ever prospered were the farmers of the present day to adopt the farm methods of their forefathers and use the improved impliments they now have. To Clean Lace. When lace is soiled, even the very finest, sucli as honiton and point, you can clean it by being careful in this way ; sew the lace upon strips of muslin and roli it tight around a smooth glass bottle and fasten se curely. Make a suds by adding a tcaspoonful of Gold Dust Washing Rowder, and put the bottle in this to soak for several hours. If the water looks soiled, make fresh suds, and repeat this nrocess, patting the iaee frequently between the fingers and rinse in several waters; then dry the lace on the bottle with a soft towel.
