While here the Misses Bobo were the
guests of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Gaines.
K. D. Edwards and his friend, Mr.
Cantrell, of Martinsville, have been

It takes a soon one to beat Will
Moore, of Ravenna, to the city when
he has something to sell.
Mrs. R. R. Wilkins sent to Tho
Ledger yesterday some fine speci
mens of second growth lettuce and
reddish. They remind one of the time
when nature is robed in her prettiest
and most useful gartnent.
Rev. R. H. Morse is in the city
again. Mr. Morse is one of the
hardest hitters in tha country. He
is against the use of tobacco and rum
and does not hesitate to let the peo
ple know his views in language that
is inelegant but strikingly forceful.
Many of Gaffney’s guests visited
the many places of interest in the
city yesterday. They were pleased
wherever they went and expressed
their admiration of Gaffney’s enter
prise—One returning from the carpet
mill was heard|to say, “Why, it beats
a circus!”
A state geologist said that within
a radius of twenty miles of Limestone
Springs there is a greater variety and
a greater quantity of tho valuable
minerals than any other portion of
die state. The bulk of these miner
als are in Cherokee county and many
of them in close proximity to GatTney.

It is proposed that Gaffney's eminent
business man and banker, Mr. A. X
Wood, be made president and treas
urer and the well known *xiiil man,
Mr. E. B. Cush, general manager and
superintendent. When it is stated
that these two gentlemen are inter
ested it should be sullicient to indue
others to go into the new company,
for both are known for their integrity
and ability. Already more than half
the capital stock has been subscribed
anti those who wish to get in on the
ground floor should lose no time.
This will make the second cotton
