On next Thursday morning at 8 o’clock the last excursion of the season will be run from Gaffney to Marion, N. C. t and it is t.ie in tention of the managers to make it a most enjoyable event, and one long to be remembered by every one who goes on it. The price for the round trip is so low that nearly every one can afford to go and those who have never taken this trip before will be doing themselves an injustice if they fail to take advantage of the oppor tunity thus offered them of viewing some of the grandest scenery to be found in the Old NortU State. The scenery along the route and in the mountains is particularly lovely and entrancing just now, as the autumn winds have begun to blow over mountain and valley giving to the leaves and flowers a rich golden hue i’hat is wonderfully pleasing to the eye and intoxicating to the senses. The air is a tremulous golden haze in which the mellowed sunbeams melt and float, wreathing the hill tops with a halo of glory, resting lovingly upon the verdant meadows and quivering, glancing, sparkling down in the depths of the silent woods. Nature has been exceedingly lavish in her works of beauty and grandeur in the mountain regions around Marion, through which the excursion train will pass, and he has no sense of enjoyment in his soul who could fail to gaze with rapturous admira tion upon the beautiful, grand and magnificent words of the Great Architect which are there scattered in rich ind endless profusion as far as the eye can reach. In this in stance “distance does not lend en chantment to the view an robe the mountain in its azure.hue,” but the nearer t he scenery is approached the more rich, grand and awe-inspiring does it become. if you are beset with an unusual amount of the cares and worries of every-dav life, put them away for a day ; if sorrow lias invaded your home and clouded your brow with her dusky shadows, shake it off and go out and have a day of genuine enjoy ment which will refresh you after the long hot| summer and better fit you for the season’s work that is just opening up. These pleasant outings are to the lives of some, like flowers that bloom on {the mountain side where all around is bleak and barren, or like the songs of birds when the earth is wrapped in wintry gloom. If your life be of that kind you should take advantage of the cheap rate next Thursday and have at least one bright day to illumine the dark picture. The soul must have its seasons of joy and gladness as well as its midnight hour of sorrow, and happy are the moments when sorrow forgets its cares and misery its misfortunes when peace and gladness spring up upon the radiant wings of hope, and the light of contentment dawns once more upon the disconsolate, unfortunate and unhappy heart. The laws of nature demand that the body have rest and recreation. A proper amount of labor well spiced with sunny sports, is almost ab solutely necessary to the formation of a firm, hardy, physical constitu tion and a cheerful and happy mind. There is nothing that will drive dull care away and revive your drooping spirits like a trip to the mountains at this time of the year—when you leave a hot, dry and dusty town be ll ind you and go where the cool mountain breezes blow upon you; where you may drink the pure, sparkling water as it bubbles up icy oold, anywhere you may commune with nature in all her rugged beauty. This glowing prospect awaits you next Thursday if you will only take advantage of it. Special arrangements have been made by which every one may have a seat, and everything possible will be done to insure ttie comfort of the pas sengers. A refieshment car will be Htti ched where the hungry and the thirsty may regale themselves at pleasure. Tickets will be on sale at the 8. C. <fc G. E., depot Thursday morning, for tiie benefit of those whe may not have already purchased them. Remember, this is the last excur sion of the season, and this is posi tively the best opportunity tj enjoy a day in the mountains. The Openlne uf I.lmeatone Colleire. One week from tomorrow Limestone College will begin its twentieth ses- sin since its reorganization in 1881. The coming session gives promise of being the most successful one in the history of the college. Already all the dormitory room has been engaged except enough to accomodate about five or six mors students, and there have been about thirty additional applications for accommodations. Young ladies will be in the college from Missouri, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, and other states, to say nothing of those who will at tend from this state. The manage ment has placed a lot of new fur niture in the building and every available space has been fitted up for the students. A number of students will attend the college apd board with private families who liye near the college. The Ledger congratu lates the college upon tto magnificent out'ook, and it also congratulates Gaffney upon having in its midst such an institution. May it live long and grow in infiueroe and power until it become what its promoters desire it to be the foremost college for women in the United States.

D., of Nash ville, Tenn , began a series of meet ings in the City Hall under the auspices of the Buford Street Metho dist church. Mr. Leftwich is an elderly man and possesses a pious and Godly mien. He is a scholar and thinker and we have no hesi- tency in saying that if he receives the co-operation of the Christians of Gaffney in bis work here that he will prove one of the greatest blessings that has befallen the people of Gaff- along that line. His Sunday morn ing sermon was taken from the text “For me to live is Christ," and it was a masterly and powerful plea for the people to make up their minds to settle the question of what they were living for. The text were the words of Paul after he had become a new man in Christ Jesus, but they were no less applicable to the people of this day and time. Mr. Leftwich asked the congregation to write down on a piece of paper these words: “For me to live is—" What? And to give heed and thought to the word- before the final word was written. A number of people promised to write the words down. The meeting will continue daily at 9 a. m., and 8 p. m., for the re mainder of the week. Much good is expected to result from the meeting A cordial invitation is extended all to attend the meetings. For Tho Imllu Famine Funtl.

Previously acknowledged. $11 10; making a grand total of $11 00. Who will be the next of The Ledger readers to contribute to this worthy cause? WOMAN IS LIKE A DELICATE MUSICAL INSTRUMENT In good condition she is sweet and lovable, and sings life’s song on a joyful harmonious string. Out of order or unstrung, there is discordance and unhappiness. Just as there is one key note to all music so there is one key note to health. A woman might as well try to fly without wings as to feel well and look well while the organs that make her a woman are weak or diseased. She must be healthy inside or she can’t be healthy outside. There are thousands of women suffering silently a!] over the country. Mistaken modesty urges their silence. While there is nothing more admirable than a modest woman, health is of the first importance. Every other con sideration should give way before it. Brad- field's Female Regulator is a medicine foi women’s ills. It is thesafestandquick- est way to cure leu- corrhea, falling of (he womb, nervous ness, headache, backache and gen eralweakness. You will be astonished at the result, es pecially if you have been experiment ing with other so- called remedies.
