Do You Ever Take
Medicine?
Nearly every one takes medicine occasionally.
Some people are taking medicine all the time. We are putting
up medicine all the time. It’s our especial work. -To some peo
ple medicine making is a business; tons it is an accomplish
ment—and a fine art. We have made medicine making a study.
We have learned many things that Colleges of Pharmacy do not
teach. Our courses in the college gave us an insight into phar
macy, but our experience in the drug store has given us knowl
edge of medicine; not only how to mix, compound, distill, filter
and grind, but how and where to buy drugs; how to test for
purity and strength ; how to follow the doctor’s directions in pre
scriptions; how to prepare medicine that its most pronounced or
most delicate action may he had according to the physician’s
expectations. The aim of the Cherokee Drug Co. has always
been to become a
“l^erfeet” l>ru!2; S^tore.
The greatest Drug Store Promoter in the world is in our em
ploy. Beauty, Humor and Eloquence sit down when he rises to
speak, lie's invincible—attractive. He’s a King. His name
is QUALITY.

Thomas LaKayette Brown and Miss Maymc
Annette llamphrles Appear Before the
Altar in the First Baptist Church and'Are
Made One By Kev. B. P. Robertson;
The marriage ceremony is one of
the most interesting and solemn
spectacles that social life presents,
and at the same time, it is the hap
piest and most joyful event that man
and woman ever experience. To see
two creatures in the glow of youth
and hope which invests life in a halo
of happiness appear together and ac
knowledge their preference for each
other, voluntarily enter into a cove
nant of perpetual friendship and
love, and call upon all to witness the
sanctity of their vows, awakens deep
feeling in the hearts of all beholders
and a holy influence is felt to pervade
the place wherein those vows are
spoken. It is a strange Intermingling
of gladness and sadness; and well
may it be so, as it is the source from
whence originates the most beautiful
glories of life, as well as its deepest
cares and its most blighting sorrows.
The joys of the wedding morn are
quickly followed by the worries and
troubles of daily life;—but it is of
the joyful side that we speak now,
hoping that the anxious cares may
be a long time coming.
Wednesday morning one of the most
interesting social events that have
transpired in our city within the
memory of its inhabitants occurred
at the First Baptist church when Mr.
Thomas LaFayette Brown and Miss
Mayme Annette Humphries present
ed themselves before Hymen’s altar
as candidates for matrimony and
consummated by marriage the vows
of a former courtship.
The touching ceremony was per
formed by Rev. B P. Robertson, the
former pastor of the couple, who im
pressed upon them the sacredness of
the marriage vows and the truth that
the affection which should link tc-
getherjhusband and wife is a far holier
and more enduring passion than the
enthusiasm of young love. After the
solemn words had been spoken which
united for all time to come the happy
spirits of Thomas LaFayette Brown
and Mayme Annette Humphries, the
minister offered so earnest supplica
tion to the Giver of all happiness for
the blessings of heaven to be showered
upon them as they journey through
life.
The nuptial rites were conferred
about 10 o’clock a. m. Shortly be
fore the time appointed, Prof. Wade
R. Brown, of Limestone College,
took his seat at the organ and soon
swert music, soft and low, like an
echo from the invisible world floated
out fiom the gallery and chaimed 'he
sei ses of the assembled friends at.d
well-wishers of the contracting
couple. It was a "Caprice by Lem-
mens, and as the solemn strains vi-
orattd through the sacred edifice the
bridal party began to take their al
lowed places.
First came Mess. Wofford and Wal
ter Humphries, twin brothers of the
bride, down oppo ite aMes and stop
ped facing tach other in front of the
altar. Mr. Ed Byars and Mr. Hany
Gooding, the latter brother-in-law to
the bride, came next in the same (rder
and took their respective places be
side the two brothers. Then came
Mr. Will Johnson and Miss Annie
Brown, sister of the groom, and they
were followed by Miss Minnie Ci.r
roil, maid of honor. Mr. Robertson
came in from the pastor’s study and
the groom accompanied by Mr.
Jamie Brown, from the Sunday
school room in rear of the
church, both placing themselves in
front of the attendants where they
awaited the coming of the bride.
Mr. B. K. Humphries, father of the
bride, escorted her dowuthe left aisle
and placed her into the keeping of
the happy groom, who then turned
to the minister to listen to the words
which were to irrevocably change
the current of two young lives and
blend them into one. As the bridal
party stood during the ceremony
they formed a pretty scene with a
background of luxurious hot-house
flowers, palms and ferns, while
radiant and eager faces told of many
hearts in loving sympathy with the
wedded lovers. Throughout the en
tire ceremony the organ, under the
deft touch of Mr Brown continued
to send forth in mellow notes its en
chanting melody, until at the close it
burst forth into the gladsome strains
of Mendelssohn’s famous wedding
march and, stepping to its measures,
the bridal party marched out of the
church and went at once to the
Southern depot. There amid the
congratulations, good wishes and
good-bys of numerous friends, the
happy groom and his young bride
boarded the vestibule train for
Greenville, From that city they
went to Washington, passing back
through this city on the evening
vestibule, and will spend a week or
ten days in the north before coming
back to Gaffney.
The handsome groom and his at
tendants wore the conventional black
coat and light colored trouaers, with
gloves to match and buttonhole
flowere.
The bride was exceedingly lovely
in a traveling dress of tan colored
cloth, with satin and velvet trim
mings, hat of panne velvet to match,
and carried in her arms a handsome
bouquet of Bride’s roses.
Miss Carroll, the maid of honor,
wore an eli'j'if’t

satin, a black picture hut and white
carnations.
Miss Brown, the bridesmaid, was
clothed in a superb gown of white
emhtoidered peau de sole with luce
and ribbon trimmings, over white
tutTeta, a black picture hat and pink
carnations,
Ttie bride is the second daughter of
Mr. aud Mrs. B, K Humphries, of
this city. Hho ranks among the
most popular young society ladies in
the city, is a leader in all social
functions and is loved and admired
wherever she is known. She is
lovely in person, gentle and amiable
in disposition, modest in nature and
is happily endowed with all the many
virtues which impart such a charm
to a lovely woman, and which offer
such a nestling place for the affec
tions of a man’s heart. The fortu
nate man with whom she has linked
her destiny is to be commended for
his excellent choice and congratu
lated upon his happy fortune.
Mr Brown, the groom, is a son of
the late Maj. and Mrs. J. J. Brown,
who were among the early settlers of
Gaffney. He is a member of the
city council of Gaffney, and is,
probably, the youngest alderman in
America. Despite his youth, he
has been engaged in business at this
place for several years and the suc
cess which has attended his career
proves beyond a doubt his excep
tional business ability. In addition
to that very essential qualification,
he is delightfully affable and has
the courtly bearing, true gentle
manly deportment and exquisite
manners, which make him very pop
ular with all classes. His high
merit and exalted worth have won for
his home the cheer-giving sunlight of
a woman’s love and a good wife’s
faith, and under her blessed ministry
he may sip the sweets of an earthly
paradise.
These joyful young lovers are now
standing where the glowing light of
love is gilding the pathway before
them, and life itself wears for them
a rosy tinting of happiness and de
light. The best wishes of hundreds
of friends cluster around them and
The Ledger hopes that theirs may be
a long, happy and prosperous life,
full of peace and joy and love.
Mr. and Mrs. Brown will continue
reside in Gaffney.

Carroll & Carpenter,
so long and favorably known to the fashion loving ladies in this vicinity, takes off its hat to
the Twentieth Century Woman and wishes her a hundred years of joy and sunshine.
To aid her in receiving this blessing, as far as lies in our power, we take this occasion to
call your attention to our January Double-Value sale of untrimmed hats. There are no old
goods in this lot. Wc find upon stock taking that we have more of this line than is necessary,
and as we bought them to sell we have marked them down to a price that will sell them.
1 he order has been given to our sales people to sell every shape and untrimmed hat in
stock at 25c and 50c. Many of these shapes have sold this season at $1.60. The stock which
you are invited to inspect is several times larger than any other at your command and the
styles are smart, attractive and fashionable. The trimmers in our Millinery Department are
artists, and in no other line can art effect such wondrous works as in the making of a becom
ing hat. Of course, you can buy a hat from some small dealer, who will get some one to trim
it for you, and charge you the “long price” a small dealer has to charge, and when the trans
action is over you have a hat—in name only—but what’s the use. Buying from us you get*
the best styles, the most expert work, your hat is a thing of beauty and the price is always
less than others ask.
