Grover, July 23.—On the fifth inst., that being the eighty-first birthday of Mr. Henderson Martin, a large number of relatives and friends gathered at his home with well filled baskets. Though taken by surprise he enjoyed tbe day very much as he always enjoys company ; aud by his courteous, winning ways he makes the time spent with him to be enjoyed and remembered. He is a high-toned Christian gentlemen, who makes friends wherever he goes. Although eighty years old, he is still active and has good health generally. We hope he may be able to enjoy many birthdays yet to come. Notwithstanding tho busy time with the farmers, there was a large crowd present who enjoyed a feast of everything their appetite should call for. and went away feeling that the time spent with this family was well spent. Ve had the pleasure of attending the speakirg and white supremacy display at Grover on the afternoon of Ibo 21st inst. The speakers were, Dr. Dixon aud Hon. E. H. Webb, both of 8helby, N. C. They preached the importance of the constitutional amendment in a forcible but gentle manly manner. We hope their heroic efforts will he crowned with success. Excellent music was furnished by the Antioch brass band, a string band played by three girls, Misses Della, Alice and Katie Turner. Also a baud of singers composed of Grover’s bright girls. There were a large attendance of both ladies and gentlemen. Our hearts are made sad to croni- cle the death of Mr. Martin Hardin, which occurred on the 18th inst, Mr. Hardin was a resident of Chero kee county. He leaves an invalid wife, eight children, one of which Eliza (his little daughter is very sick with fever), and a large concourse of relatives and friends to mourn his departure. Deceased was forty-five years, four months and five days old. He has been a consistent member of the Baptist church for twenty-four years, and was ever ready and willing to perform his duty in any good cause that came before him. When ever we chanced to meet our de parted friend we were greeted with the same pleasant smile which seemed to say I bid you God’s speed. Surely he kept the golden rule (Do unto others as you would have them do unto you). He was a man who loved his family, it seemed as but few do. They also prove that their love and admiration for him was great in return. All who were present when the heart sickened wife and children took their parting view of his remains and broke down with grief, could not help but sympathize with them in their bereavement. It is true our departed friend will be missed in this community as well as in this home; but there is one great comsolation, he is gone, we hope to a better world than this where there is no pain nor death, where there will bo no more parting. t j. a. FROM ATLANTIC CITY. Mr. Mercer SpcukH of Our Caudldutes for (Superintendent of Kducatlon. Atlantic City, N. J., July 18, ’00. Editor The Ledger, Gaffney 8. C. Dear Sir:—I learn that Mr. James L. Strain is again a candidate for superintendent of education of our county against Mr. McArthur who has filled that place for several years past. Like all citizens I feel an interest in this election and while i am, and have always been, a friend to Mr. McArthur, I would like to see Mr. Strain elected. Both of the gentlemen are alike honorable men and both are Confed erate soldiers. One is fortunate in being well fixed in this world’s goods, the other is unfortunate, like most old Confederates, poor in this world’s goods. Both are educated men, com petent in every way to fill the office they ask, and the writer, like many others, would like to see him (Strain) •lected. Especially I do feel an in- tcrest in the school at Blacksburg, where my children go. Now, while this school has not been a failure, it is not tho success It might be and should bo made. If the superinten dent would visit the school oflener, look into the many matters in detai 1 needed of such a school, encourage the pupils, exercise greater care in the selection of teachers and super vise them in their work, and be sure they do not grow careless, as all of us do when not urged on by some strong incentive, the school would I think soon take higher rank than it now does, and give satisfaction to all its patrons, and result in benefit to the children, that would go with fhem through life. I feel sure if Mr. Strain is elected he would give much time and attention to this and all other schools. This he can do as he has no great private interest to take his time away from such duties and for these reasons J hope the people may see their way clear to elect Mr. Strain, lifts try a change. W, H. Mkkckk. Another Klgeon KUled. Mr. Charles Harris, of this city* brought two small metal bands to The Ledger office yesterday which wore found on the legs of a pigeon killed by Mr. Alfred Driscal about two miles below this city. One of the bands or rings was of silver and bore the inscription "A 23084.’' The other one was brass and had ”E 7 B” on the inside of it. This pigeon, as well as tho one killed by Mr. Fugh some weeks ago, was evidently a carrier pigeon that had been liberated at some place and strayed from its course on its way home. if any one knows anything about the pigeon killed by Mr. Dris- cal, Mr. Harris would be glad to get the information. For a fair complexion, bright spark ling eye and vigorous digestion, take I'kd ki.y Ash Bitters. It puls the the system in perfect order. Sold by Cherokee Drug Co. SHORT LOCAL ITEMS.

The usual service of the congre gation of tbe First Baptist church will be held in the court bouse next Sabbath morning. In the election held Tuesday Mr. Lee Bird was elected warden from ward No 1 to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Ed. Cash, who resigned. The large pipe organ belonging to the First Baptist church, but wiiich has been in the new auditorium at Limestone College for several months, has been brought up from the college and placed in the new Baptist church. Miss Ida Scott, who is visiting in our city, has been elected sponsor for the M. C, Butler Camp, Edge- field, for the reunion at Greenwood. On account of her stay here she has declined the honor. Services will be held in tbe new First Baptist church on the first Sun day in the next month, and a revival meeting will immediately follow. The Baptists here now have as pretty a church as there is in the State. Yesterday was children’s day at Salem church. The editor of The Ledger returns thanks for an invita tion to be present on tbe occasion, and regrets very much that on ac count of pressing business duties he was unable to attend. Rev. W. W. Daniel, of Columbia, who preached in the Presbyterian church here Sunday night, spent sev eral days in our midst and went to H’ckory Grove Wednesday. Our people were much pleased with Mr. Daniel and hope he will visit Gaffney again. The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of Philadelphia Lodge No. 3671 will have a big day at Philadel phia church on Aug. 4th. Promi nent speakers will be there, a brass bund will furnish music, refreshments will be served, and a big time in gen eral is promised to all who attend. Wednesday afternoon a dusky couple, with “two souls with but a single thought and two hearts that beat as one,” appeared before Mayor Littlejohn and asked to be united in marriage. His Honor, with the grace and eloquence of a connoisseur, performed the ceremony in tbe pres ence of several witnesses and sent the happy ones on their way rejoic ing. In our list of those who went from this place on the excusion to Charles ton, we omitted the names of Mr. and Mrs. D. P. Sides, Mrs. Roxy Stacy, Misses Eliza Little and Emma and Maggie Bryant, J. Q. Little, Robert Wilkins, Master Harry Wilkins, Fred Gaffney, Ed. Durham, Sam Fort and Mr, Clayton. The reason for this omission was that we could not ob tain the names before we went to press. Governor McSweeney and General Floyd will be the guests of Colonel H. Fay Gaffney while they are in Gaffney attending the campaign meeting next Monday. Colonel Gaffney was formerly a member of Governor McSweeney’s staff but re signed to accept the position of Lieu- tens'it-Colonel First Regiment South Carolina Volunteer Infantry, to which position he was almost unani mously elected several months ago. The Owner Pound. In our issue of last week under the head, “A Relic of Other Days,” we gave an account of a locket having been found by Mr. D. J. Pugh on his place near Ararat church. We de scribed the locket and the picture it contained, and stated that Mr. Pugh would be glad to hear from any one who might know something about it. We have since learned that it be longed to Miss Mollie Montgomery, who once lived in tbe neighborhood of Ararat, and that the picture was that of her uncle, Tharon Mont gomery, who was the father of Mrs. W. L. Morgan, of this city. The locket was given to Miss Montgomery when she was about seven years old, and was lost during the war. The well preserved state of the picture was truly wonderful, and even the locket itself had not suffered as much as one would suppose from its long stay under the ground. Geu. Walker Commit. The Confederate veterans will bear in mind that Gen. C. I. Walker, of Charleston, commander of the South Carolina Division U. C. V., will be at this place on Aug. Jlth, and that a picnic dinner will be served in the spring grove at Limestone on that day and in honor of the event. Every veteran and all tbe sons, daughters and relations of veterans, are specially invited to be present on the occasion. Gen. Thomas W. Carwile, of Edge- field, has been invited to come aud take part in the exercises of the day, and it is probable that he will accept the invitation and honor the veterans with his presence that day. Chero kee county should turn out In full force and give these two gallant old soldiers a rousing reception. lu the Mayor’* Court. “Pearl” Cleveland, whose name is a travesty on her completion, was before the mayor yesterday morning charged with having been guilty of conduct unbecoming a lady and of using some sulphur-colored words not laid down in tbe catechism. She was required to pay a license fee of $15 for her street performance, but as she had invested the gate receipts for “boozerina” she was unable to pay. and had to take the alternative of “displaying her talent” for thirty days in the service of the county.
