A Handsome China Closet
for mama, and a luxurious easy
chair for papa, those are the
things that make the housewife's
heart glad and make the business
man love to come home and rest
in the evening. The good fairy
that presents them with either of
these gifts, a Fancy Rocker, an
Artistic Chair, a handsome Sofa,
Settee, Buffet or Table will receive
their reward in the pleasure af

AIHAPPY OCCASION.
Rennlon at Pacolet of the Children and
Grandchildren of Mr. JameH Wood.
Mr. and Mrs. A. N. Wood, Mr.
Moses Wood and two of his daugh
ters, and Mrs. S. A. Lipscomb all
spent Thanksgiving Day at Pacolet
where they attended a family re
union of the children and grand
children of Mr. Jimmie Wood, their
father and grandfather respectively,
in celebration of his eighty-eighth
birthday. The Spartanburg Journal
has the following account of the
happy event written from Pacolet.
‘•Mr. Jas. Wood, of this place, had
an agreeable surprise yesterday. Mr.
Wood was 88 years old on the 2Gth
of this month and his children con
ceived an idea that they would meet
at his house and celebrate bis birth
day on Thanksgiving Day. AH his
children and several of his grand
children were present on this occa
sion. They we?e Moses Wood with
two of his daughters, A. N. Wood,
wife and three boys and Mrs. S. A.
Lipscomb, all of Gaffney; Mrs. Ran-
dolf Brown and son, of Gowpens,
Mrs. W. F. Bryant and Miss T. E.
Wood, of Pacolet and two of Dr.
Brown’s children—great grandchil
dren—were present.
A dinner was spread In the dining
room that had been prepared by these
devoted children, and a happy occa
sion it was to all.
Mr. Wood is quite well and strong
for one of his age, and we all feel
thankful for this, and the old gen
tleman was very much rejoiced at
the informal reunion.”
In the Mayor’s Court,
Mayor Littlejohn did not have
many evil doers before him yesterday
morning, and those he did have were
old offenders and familiar figures in
the Mayor’s courtroom.
Morgan Smith, John Smith, John
son Oglesby and Mat Manning, all
colored, were up for gambling. They,
of course, strenuously denied having
indulged in this pleasant pastime to
the extent of violating the city ordi
nance against such sport.or to the des
ecration of the Sabbath; but, after
a careful investigation, It was appar-
1 ent to all that these worthies had
not spoken “the truth, the whole
truth and nothing hut the truth,”
and they were given the alternative
of paying ten dollars each or spend
ing thirty days in the service of Oapt.
Thackston on the streets of the city.
Not having the required amount of
"dough” to secure their release, they
were forced, much against their in
clination, no doubt, to give the city
thirty days of "free labor.” Stanly
Roy, another colored sport, and
"Pearl” Cleveland, whose name is a
travesty on her color, and likewise
her character, were witnesses in the
case.
Fayette Mosely got on a lone
drunk and, having no one to help
him, proceeded to make himself dis
orderly enough for two. He put up
five dollars license for his street per
formance, and forfeited that amount
by failing to appear at the seat of
justice yesterday morning.
Now is the time when croup and
lung troubles prove rapidly fatal.
The only harmless remedy that pro
duces immediate results is One Min
ute Cough Cure. It is very pleasant
to take and can be relied upon to
quickly cure coughs, colds and all
lung diseases. It will prevent con
sumption. Cherokee Drug Co.
