SMITH HARDWARE CO. What They Say About.... Harris Lithia Water: Mr. J. T. Harris: Dear Sir—I have found the use of the water from your l.lthia Spring In South Carolina so efficacious In the case of a young lady pa tient of mine, who has suffered for years with TJIal>ete9, with all Its different attendants, that I want to add my testiinonal to the many you already have. The patient I refer to has used the water freely at home for scarcely a month now, with more beneficial results than from months spent at different lithia springs in different parts of the United States, besides long continued use of the same waters at home. Other of rny patients and friends are now using the same with (test results. I cordially recommend it to all suff ering from similar diseases. Very respectfully yours, Thomas S. Poweix, M. I). Pres.

Harry Ward’s Magnificent Min strels, which will hold the boards at the Opera House next Thursday night, is this season one of the largest minstrel organizations ou the road. The company is a very popular one and is composed of artists of reputa tion and talent. Mr. Ward, by keep ing faith with the public, has made for himself a reputation second to none in the amusement world. The sterling worth of his attractions is proven by constant prosperity enjoy ed by his company and the express ions of pleasure on the part of those who witness his performances. The company this season number forty, and never in the history of minstrelsy has ever there been such an organi zation of star artists under one man agement. The long list of artists who go to make up the combination con tain the names of many who have attained an international reputation, such famous artists as Harry Ward, the next president of minstrelsy; Messrs. Decker and Rasch, the Great Newton, Muller and Yonder, Briggs, the Champion Trick Cyclist ol the world, Boam and Wilbur Musical Comedians, and the Vocalist flepart- ment is made up of such well known soloists as Mr. Thomas Crockett, Harry Sylvester, Willie James, Chauncy Holland and the celebrated Pan American exposition Quartette, and Master Hearsey, from the Cathedral Montreal. A grand noon day parade will be given the day of the performance, in which the entire company appear, and is said to be the grandest parade ever seen on our street with a traveling organization. The sale of seats opened yesterday at Gaines’ furniture store and it would be a wise move to secure seats in plenty of time, as the advance sales for attractions of this Rind are generally very large. The local management has the assurance of Mr. Murphy the advanced agent that this performance is strictly high grade and free from anything that would olfeud the most delicate and refined lady or gentle man. If the amusement lovers of Gaff ney desire a treat they should see Harry Ward’s Magnificent Minstrels Thursday night. llonthl Square Opera Company The amusement loving people of Gaffney have a treat in store for them on Wednesday evening November 28th when the Herald Square Opera Company will present, "La Mas- cott.” The Ledger has only one manner in which to judge a show and that is to judge it by what others say of it. This opera company is playing in such cities as Raleigh, Wilmington and Charlotte, all of which are pretty good size villages, and the newspapers of these towns are, as a rule, very good judges of a show. The following notice is from the Raleigh Post, one of the fore most daily papers in North Carolina, and The Ledger is willing to say on their authority that the show will be as good of its kind as will visit Gaff ney this season. The Post Says: "La Mascotte,” by the Herald Square Opera Co., of New York, was presented to a large and enthusiastic audience, which manifested its ap preciation of the work of the com pany unmistakably. "The company is an unusually good one aud the version last night differed from that of others in many minor particulars which added snap and genuine comedy to the production. There are several particularly fine voices in this company. Mr. Harry Nelson possesses a magnificent tenor of unusual volume and sweetness and in the character of Prince Frederic acquitted himself well. “Mr. Thos. Callahan is a bang up Prince Lorenzo with a fine voice, while Tom Whyte is one of the most comical Roccos seen in Raleigh. "Etta Stetson as ‘Beilina’ gave a most charming presentation of the character and sang sweetly as well. She was well supported by Misses Scott and Sanford, Mr. Robert Kane as ‘Pippo’ has a clear conception of the role and made many friends with the audience from the start. His voice is a good one. The chorus was made up of young and pretty girls who can sing. It was a grand pro duction.” The above company will present "La Mascotte,” at the opera house Wednesday night, Nov. 28th. The company numbers 25 artists, sweet singers, new and bright costumes. Larger and better than ever before. Secure reserved seats at A. B. Gaines’ furniture store. Remember that this is an opera troupe, not a melodrama or farce comedy or tragedy, but an opera—a story In song, a play set to music. It Is a comic drama, of which music forms an essential part, a comic drama mostly sung, consist ing of recitative, arias, choruses, duets, trios, etc. We do not desire anyone to patronize this performance under a wrong impression so we have endeavored to explain what the play will be. Now ao not spend your money with the idea that tills show is anything like "A Trip to Tramp- town” or “Town Topics,” for there is not the least connection between them. Woekly Kelu-anml rontponc<l. Prof. Brown requests us to an nounce that the regular weekly re hearsal of the Limestone Choral So ciety has been postponed from Thursday evening to Friday evening. This will give to all the members who desire it an opportunity to attend the minstrel performance in the opera house Thursday night without miss ing the meeting of their society.

Its beauty and perfection depends entirely upon the care bestowed upon its parent. Expectant mothers should have the tenderest care. They should be spared all worry and anxiety. They should eat plenty of good nourishing food and take gentle exercises. This will go a long way toward preserv ing their health and their beauty as well as that of the little one to come. But to be absolutely sure of a short and painless labor they should use Mother’s Friend regularly during the month# of gesta- , tion. Thl# is a simple liniment, which is to bo applied externally.
