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.

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?
