With good health and a strong womanly organism, motherhood but adds to a woman’s attractiveness. McELREE’S Wine of Cardui takesaway all terrors by strengthening the vital organs. It fits a mother for baby’s coming. By revitalizing the nerve centres it has brought chubby, crowing youngsters to thousands of weak women who feared they were barren. It purifies, heals, regulates and strengthens, and is good for all women at all times. No druggist would be without it. $i oo For advice in cases requiring special directions, address, giving sj-mptoms, “ The Ladies’ Advisory Department,” The Chattanooga Medicine Co., Chat tanooga, Tenn. 0 MRS.

There was quite a large crowd of people in the city Saturday and trade with all the merchants was brisk. A good many people from the country were in the city yesterday, notwithstanding the weather was threatening. The rain yesterday was most wel come. It had been several weeks since we had any rain and the dust was beginning to be uncomfortable.

J. N. LIPSCOMB & CO. Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Holmes are at present domiciled with Mr and Mrs. Robert Reason. Mrs. Holmes lost nearly all her wearing apparel in the fire which destroyed their home Fri day morning. Bene.tor Sarratt has been limping for the past week or ton days the result of a wagon wheel running back on his foot while he was endeavoring to scotch it. The injury was painful but not serious. Jesse Jefferies, a good naturod col ored man who is employed in the lower part of the county, and who keeps posted on the events of the day by reading The Ledger, was in yes terday to renew his subscription. The police were out iu their new uniforms Sunday. They were a cred itable looking set of men and their appearance reflected credit upon the city. There is no town that can boast of a better set of ollicers than Gaff ney. Contractor Baker will soon be ready to turn Mr. and Mrs. Sam Morgan’s house over to the painters and decorators. This will be a pretty little house and will add to the at tractiveness of the neighborhood in which it is situated. The Union Sunday School of the Northern Section of the Broad River Association met at Grassy Pond last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Prof. S. A. Chambers, of this city, attend. The meeting was one of the most success ful in the history ot the association. The duet sang by Mrs. Tbos. West rope and Miss Edna Robertson at the Presbyterian church Sunday evening was the subject of much favorable comment. Miss Robert son’s splendid contralto voice har monizes beautifully with Mrs. West- rope’s soprano. Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Hames have one of the prettiest little cottages in the city. They moved into it yesterday and in a few days will be at home to their friends. Capt. 8. S. Ross and fuitnily will occupy the house with Mr. and Mrs. Haines until Capt. Ross’ dwelling, now in course of construction, is completed. Mr. Derbin Littlejohn, who suffer ed a stroke of paralysis last week, has so far recovered us to be able to be about his place. At first it was thought that he would not survive the stroke but now it is believed that he will fully recover. Mr. Littlejohn is one of our best citizens and has many friends who will be delighted to receive these glad tidings. R. H. Morse, of Charlotte, is in the city working for God and prohibition. Mr. Morse is regarded as a ‘‘crank” by many people but we do not believe there is a more conscientious Chris tian anywhere than he is and he cun be relied upon to say what he thinks and to do what is right. No confi dence imposed in him will be mis placed. The insurance companies were very prompt to adjust the loss occasioned by the burning of Mr. B. A. Holmes’ home Friday. The building belonged to Mr. U. M. Gaffnev, and he will receive $300 on the building. The loss on Mr. Gaffney’s residence, fur niture, clothing, etc, has not been adjusted but Mr. Gaffney will receive about $400 for his losses. Oscar Wheat, son of Mr. Will Wheat, a former resident of Gaffney but now of Greenville, was found in an unconscious condition Sunday morning near the Southern depot. Good Samaritans rendered assistance and he was conveyed to the home of his sister, Mrs. John Spencer, where he now is. Ho received his injuries from an attempt to alight from a train that was moving too rapidly. The standpipe is now over half fin ished. The foreman of the force in forms a Ledger representative that he will have it complete in ten days or two weeks if he has no bad luck It is expected that they will be ready to begin operations as soon as the standpipe is finished, but the indica lions are that there will be considera ble hustling on the part of the other contractors if this expectation is real ized. While the workmen were engagec in rebuilding the burned bridge across Broad river on the Southern railroac last week a white man had the mis fortune to fall and break his leg. We were unable to learn his name. This was the unfortunate man’s first at tempt to work on a trestle and ho was advised not to undertake it but wouU not heed the warning. He was taken to Blacksburg for treatment. THE MISSIONARY RALLY. Two Very Iiiteri‘nlliiK S«r\l»-e» on the Bve of Mr. CTorkor'd l><-]mrtnre. Two very interesting services were held at the place of worship of the First Baptist congregation Sunday, one at 11 o’clock a. m., and the other at 3:30 p. ni., the occasion being the missionary rally in honor of Rov. W. E. Crocker and wife, who will leave for San Francisco Thursday morning and from there will sail for China on November Hth. At the forenoon service Rov. E. E. Bomar, of Aiken, Vice President of the For eign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention for South Caro lina, preached a most excellent ser mon, his theme being “Witnesses Fnto Christ.” At the afternoon ser vice Rev. R. F. Treadway, pastor of the Baptist church at Shelby, preached a splendid sermon on “Co- Workers With God.” Rev. F. C. Hickson in his own attractive style explained the arrangements of the Broad River Association for the sup port of Rev. W. E. Crocker and wife. Mr. Crocker in a feeling and appro priate manner made his farewell talk to the friends that he was so soon to leave behind. The entire service was one of the most interesting thr.t has been held in Gaffney for some time. The music for the occasion was appropriately selected and excel lently rendered. Ilnnk Examiner Henry, National Bank Examiner Walter R. Henry, of Charlotte, was in tho city last Thursday on business. He found the National Bank in its usual normal condition. Mr. Henry was once a very loud-mouthed populist but one does not hear so much of him since he has been provided for at the p ! e counter. Like all poli ticians about the only thing he wanted was a good fat office, and now that ho has it we suppose it is right that he keep quiet. Notwithstand- ng all that has been said concerti ng Mr. Henry it is nothing but fair to say that he bears the reputation of being one of the best bank ex aminers in the country and he is also said to bo a very clever gentleman, jut some how or other we never had a great deal of use for the profes sional politician.

We venture the assertion that there is not a town in tho Piedmont, or anywhere else, for that matter, that looks as new and bright ns Gaff ney. This does not refer to the store houses but to tho dwellings. Our sture houses do not indicate the pro- gressivenoss of the town but when you go Inside they will compare most favorably with Spartanburg and Greenville. Of course wo know that those two cities have finer stores than Gaffney but wtien you consider the size of the towns we believe Gaff ney will eclipse them in point of excellence of the goods carried in stock. If our people would only tear down some of the wooden shacks on the main street and build pretty store rooms to compare with our dwellings wo would have one of the prettiest towns in the state. Let everybody who can use the paint brusli before the Baptist State con vention convenes, and those who can not afford to use the paint brush can use the whitewash brush the scrub brush and the broom with good effect.
