J. N. LIPSCOMB & CO. THACKSTON-BUTLER. A I’rctty WtMhllllK \V«-.ln«'i*<ln v Kven- hiK at The of Tin* Itrlde'N rarentx. Wednesday evening at 6 alO ut the home of the bride’s parents in this city Mr. Stuart Thuekston and Miss Kva butler were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. The ceremony was performed by Rev. \V. K. Crock er, brother-in-law to the groom, and was witnessed by a largo number of the friends of the contracting parties. The parlor was tastefully decorated for the occasion and the scene pre sented a picture not soon to ho for gotten by those who had the fortune to be present. Promptly at 0:20 Miss Ressio Crocker began the wed ding march and the happy pair en tered the room where the Rev. Mr. Crocker solemnly pronounced the words that made them husband and wife. immediately after the ceremony the bride and groom held a reception in the adjoining parlor where they received the congratulations of their many friends gathered for the event. After the reception a bountiful and elegant supper was spread aud all enjoyed themselves to the utmost capacity. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Bntler atid is a beauti ful young lady. Her wedding dress was most becoming and had the effect of displaying her natural charms to advantage. The groom is a son of Mr. N. 8. Thackston, one of Cherokee’s most successful and respected planters. He is a young man of promise and will doubtless make a good husband. Among those from out of town who attended the wedding were: Miss Nannie Rutler and Mr. Barney But ler, of Rutherfordton, N. C., Miss Della Turner, Grover, Miss Bessie Crocker, Shelby, Mrs. J. H. Thomas, Kings Mountain. Mr. and Mrs. Thackston, accom panied by a number of their friends and relatives, went down to the home of Mr. Thackston’s father Wednes day night where a reception was ten dered them. .Mr. and Mrs. Thackston will make Gafiney their future home, it being the intention of Mr. Thackston to build in the near future. J'or the present they will board with Mr. and Mrs. Butler. Our Ohlt-Ht C'ltii'.eu. ‘Squire If. G. GalTnoy dined with Rev. B. 1*. Robertson Wednesday. Mr. Gaffney is in his eighty-fifth year, and therefore is one of our oldest citi zens. He has been a useful and hon orable citizen and is revered in his old age. lie is remarkably bright and converses intelligently and interest ingly on the times that have passed. While out driving Wednesday he hon ored The .Ledger with a call and told of his experience at the time the stars fell in the thirties. He and Miss Jane Xott’s father and some other young men were out fox hunt ing when the meteors began to fall. It was not unlike a snow storm ex cept that the substance was different. At first it was slight but it grew heavier and heavier until at last it was as thick as snow Hakes. The dogs were frightened and huddled close to their masters and the horses, but the latter did not seem to be in the least affected. When daylight came the star storm ceased and the party wended their way home none the worse for the unusual experience they had gone through. An Old l.cttcr. The Ledger was shown a letter Wednesday that was more than one hundred years old. It was written by William Gatlnoy, the grandfather of 'Squire H. G. Gaffney, to Michael Gaffney, father of 'Squire Gaffney and founder of the great family of Gaffneys that reside in this city and county. The letter is dated “Baly- moris, March lUth, 17H8," and the manuscript is as legible today as it was the day it was written. The pa per is also in a remarkable good state of preservation. This letter has been in the posssess of the Gaffney family evtr since it arrived at its destination and is now in the possession of Mrs. A. V. Montgomery, who justly prizes it very highly. Balymoris is in Ire land, and the letter was addressed to “Mr. Mich’l Gaffney, At Mrs. Morris Skinner, No. 22 Water Street, New York. America,’’ and was not in cased in an envelope but folded and scaled with sealing wax. In those days envelopes had not been invented. Mr. McWhorter hiiiI Fittiilly Arrive. Mr. J. L. McWhorter and family arrived in the city last week and are now occupying the cottage formerly occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Julian Lipscomb, on Petty street. Mr. Mc Whorter is the partner of N. W. Har din, of Blacksburg, and they have opened a law olHce over R. A. Jones A Co.’s store. Mr. McWhorter is a gentleman of pleasant address and we predict that he will not be long in making friends in the city and county. He comes from Oconee county and has located in Gaffney because he believes that the possibili ties of the town and county are greater than any other town and county in the Piedmont, and we trust his judgment has not been misplaced. thilTiiey ut thu I'liehinuiin Keeltul. Among those who attended the Puchmunn piano recital at Spartan burg Monday evening from this city beside the delegation from Limestone were Misses Mubel and Fannie Fort, Eva Ross, AJd e McArthur, Agnes Littlejohn and Minnie Carroll and Mr. J. A. Carroll. The entire party report a most delightful trip and say that the recital was all that could have been desired. The audience, however, was not what it might have been for a city the size of Spartan burg. Money saved is money made. It is not the man who makes the most money who gets rich. It is he who knows how to save it. Economy is wealth. Take care of the little things. Much money is thrown away in paying too much for dry goods, clothing and shoes. It is wasted. It goes out and never comes back. We don’t say, buy these things at The Fair, but be careful that you buy them where prices are the lowest and values the highest. Do not spend a cent until you get our prices. If you have not seen our goods you will be surprised. If you spend your money before seeing them, you will simply be giving it away. The biggest part of the trade that comes to Gaffney comes to us, but there are still some who have not yet seen the error of their way and are paying the same old high prices just because they have been in the habit of doing. This is all wrong. Money is too valuable to be scattered to the winds. Spend it where you will get the most for it and where it will do you the most good. Our business this fall has so far much exceeded our expectations, notwithstand ing the short cotton crop, and we are sure that no store in Gaffney ever enjoyed such a business. We know that this season none has been able to buy goods as cheap as wo ^ did and none is content with so small a profit. Everything is in our favor and we give the benefit of all of it to the buyer. All we want is the volume of business, and we are getting it. When you want to buy goods on credit, go to a credit house. We can do noth ing for you. When you want to buy goods for cash, come to a cash house. You will save 25 to 50 per cent. Everybody knows that we do a cash business. The richest man in Cherokee County cannot take a I c. paper of pins out of our store without pay ing cash for it, and he stands on exactly the same footing as the poorest. Either of them can return anything bought from The Fair and get their money back. Whoever heard of such a thing before The Fair came to Gaffney?
