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.

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.

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.

Mrs. D. P. Sides, Mrs. Roxy Stacy,
Misses Eliza Little and Emma and

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.

spring grove at Limestone on that
day and in honor of the event. Every

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
