A jeweler must use a definite proportion of fine gold
to make tin 18-kt ring. A certain quantity of carbon must
be united with iron to make steel, and chemicals must
conform to given standards of purity if they should have
the desired therapeutic power.
To insure against those ‘Tittle'’ differences, those de
flections from correct standards, you should use drugs
from the Cherokee Drug Co. It is because of uniform
superiority; because “our chemicals'’ arc synonymous

A MARRIAGE EPIDEMIC
Srrtm'tl to Prevail in the City OurinK the
IloUdnyx and Several ItluKhlng Hrldrs
Wi »re Led to Hymen's Altur—Olliers
□Will Follow Later On.
The last Christinas of the century
has come and gone and everybody has
settled down to business again.
Nothing of an unusual or startling
nature occurred in our city to make
it materially different from any other
Christmas, with the exception, per
haps, of a few more weddings than
usual,
A large crowd was in town Satur
day afternoon; some purchasing
Christmas presents for friends and
toys to gladden the hearts of the
little ones; others merely sight-see
ing, and all seemingly happy in an
ticipation of rest and fun the next
week. It was a quiet, orderly, good-
natured crowd, very little drinking
and no boisterous conduct.
Sunday services were held in all of
the churches, both day and night.
In the Baptist church Sunday morn
ing Mr. Robertson preached his fare
well sermon, and It was indeed a
touching address. The feature of the
services was the singing of Gounod’s
“0, Divine Redeemer!!’ by Miss
Bidcz, of Claremont College. Miss
Bidez is a sweet singer and the rendi
tion of this piece was beautiful in the
extreme. At night a uuperb musical
program, prepared especially lor the
occasion, was carried out to the de
light of all lovers of good music who
were fortunate enough to hear it.
On Monday night there was a
Christmas tree at the Second Metho
dist church under the management
of the Sunday school and for the
Sunday school children, and the dis
tribution of presents, some of which
were elegant and costly, was pre
ceded bv speeches and dialogues by
the young folks, and the evening was
a highly enjoyable one to all the par
ticipants.
Tuesday was very quiet and had
much the appearance of Sunday.
Ail the business houses were closed,
the streets were almost deserted and
it was a day of general rest and re
cuperation, The small boys only
seemed to be having the genuine,
old-time Christmas fun, and even
they were somewhat held in check by
a city ordinance prohibiting the pop
ping of firecrackers in public places.
The weather was delightful and
nature seemed to be in sympathy
with the emotions of all humanity.
Both hotels spread elegant tables
lor their guests and furnished them
with every good thing that the appe
tite could crave. Ail that partook
of these repasts were loud in praise
of their generous hosts.
quite an epidemic of marrying
seemed to have broken out during
the holidays, and proved almost as
“catching” as small pox.
Mugon-’I'hoiiifMon.
The first one of our inhabitants to
fall a victim was Miss Mary May
Thompson.
At 3:30 p. m. on Christmas day
Miss Thompson was united in mar
riage to Mr. Stanley Mason, of
Richmond, Vu. The ceremony that
made the twain one flesh was per
formed by Rev. B. P. Robertson at
the home of Rev. and Mrs. W.
Twitty Thompson, parents of the
bride, on Victoria avenue. News of
the wedding came as a surprise to
many, as the affair had been kept
very quiet, and only a few close, per
sonal friends of the family were pres
ent.
Miss Thompson was a popular
and very attractive yourg lady, a
graduate of Limestt.ue Colh ge of the
class of iflOO, and though qu'te
young she was a woman in all that
pertains to that fairest and beet of
all earth’s creatures. The fortunate
man who won her Is to ho congratu
lated upon his good fortune, yet her
friends were Icath to give her up
and she will be sadly missed from
the social gatherings in which she
was always a prominent figure.
Mr. Mason, the groom, is a promi
nent young business man of Rich
mond, Va., and holds a lucrative po
sition with the well-known hardware
firm of Watkins Cottrell Hardware
Company of that city. He Is a
young man of pleasing address,
educated and refined, and is possessed
of splendid business qualifications.
The circum-tances under which he
became acquainted with Miss Thomp
son, and the beginning of their court
ship, were of rather a romantic nature,
yet there Is more or less romance
connected with all affairs of the heart
between the sexes, and ‘ all is well
that ends well.”
Mr. and Mrs. Mason will make their
home in Richmond.
Hill-Medley.
On the same day Mr. John T. Hill,
who lives just above the city, in the
Midway neighborhood, was joined in
wedlock to Miss Letha Medley, of
this city.
The marriage was solemnized at
the residence of Mrs. W. J. Wilkins
at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Rev. B.
P. Robertson speaking the words that
bound them for life Only a few
friends and relatives were present to
witness the ceremony and extend
congratulations.
These are both worthy young peo
ple, and they have the host wishes of
many admirers for a bright, happy
and prosperous future.
Klaw-KUIa
Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock
Mr. Charles H. Elam and Miss Corrie
Ellis were married at the residence
of Mr. R. 8. Lipscomb on Frederick
street. Rev. L. M. Roper, of Spar
tanburg, officiated at this marriage,
and besides the inmates of Mr. Lip
scomb’s homo, quite a number of the
young friends of the happy couple
were present to extend congratula-
refinenv .t, highly attractive in ap
pearance, modest and unassuming in
manners, and is very popular with
the people of Gaffney, and with all
who have associated with her.
Mr Elam is a native of King’s
Mountain and came to this city some
time H^o to take charge of the books
for the Limestone Mills.
He. too, has made himself popular
with the people of Gaffney and with
his employees especially. Ho is a
genial, warm-hearted young man,
courteous in his business dealings
and gentlemanly in his manners and
is, withal, a very careful and efficient
bookkeeper and business man in gen
eral.
Mr. and Mrs. Eiam left on the ves
tibule for Atlanta, where they will
spend their hone^-moou. They will
return to Gaffney in a few days and
will make their home here.
Cupid is not yet content, however,
and other weddings are on the calen
dar for next month. That of Mr.
Thomas Brown and Miss Mayme
Humphries has already boon an
nounced. On the Gth of February
Mr. George G. Byars, of Gainesville,
Ga., and Miss Minnie Carroll,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Car-
roll of this city, will be married in
the First Baptist church at this
place.
The Ledger sincerely hopes that
all of these happy young people may
realize to the fullest extent their
sweetest dreams of conjugal bliss
and that the richest blessings of
heaven may be showered upon them
throughout all the years to come
that may be theirs upon earth.
A l.in'ky Fit cl.
The following from the Carolina
Spartan tells of a piece of good luck
which happened to one of our citizens
recently:
“Two or three years ago C. A
Petty, now in Orangeburg, lost u dia
mond ring in Charlotte. Its value
was about $200. Several days ago
two negroes carried a ring to Gari
baldi Brans, jewelers and wished
to get $2.50 on it. The jewelers
caused the arrest of the negroes.
Friends of Mr. Petty remembered his
loss and investigation proved it to be
his ring. He has rec >ven d it.”
A Negro 1<o)>h a ItlackMlniri; Store,
Idliuolal to ttio Charlotte Observer.)
Bp.u KSnntG,8.C.,Dec. 25—A negro
named Harry Williams entered R. R.
Brown’s store here last night and
stole a quantity of Hour and other
goods. He was captured by Chief of
Police Duncan with the aid of hjs
dogs. The negro entered the store
by prizing the bars from a window.

PRISONERS REMEMBERED.
A Itoiintifiil C'lirlHtiiuts Diniirr I’roviiletl for
the Prluonent itt the Jail,
The twelve or fiiteeu pris mers con
fined in the county jail were remem
bered on Christmas day. Mrs. D. A.
i'hcmns, the sheriff's mother, pre
pared an extra nice dinner for them
and just before the dinner hour Mrs.
A. N. Wood sent over a nice dinner
for each of them. Mrs. Thomas de
cided that they should have two din
ners, so the two were divided and
a portion of each dinner was served
on Christmas day and the next day
the remainder was served. Both
were elegant dinners and it can be
said that, for two days the Cherokee
prisoners fared sumptuously. It is
such acts as these that tend to make
the hearts of recipients and donors
beat lighter and remind one that all
is not selfishness in this world.
