Next Tuesday night the celebrated Harlow Hroa. Minstrels will be the attraction at the opera bouse. Thin is one of the oldest minstrel organiza tions on the road and is first-class in every respect. They have with them this year several noted minstrel per formers and the entire program is clean and bright. This company is the same one that plays in Spartan burg on Monday night and Charlotle Wednesday night, showing here Tues day night.' The Athens ((da.,) Daily Banner has the following to say of the Harlow Minstrels, they having played in that city one night last month: ‘•The old Athens favorites, Harlow Hros Minstrels, gave two perform ances in the city yesterday to splen did houses and they came away ahead of the high standard which had been predicted for them by the press Their company this season has many old and many new faces, but the ag gregation they have this year is de cidedly away ahead of the previous years. The opening scene is one of splen dor and magnificence and the revelry of song and wit is truly delightful. The baritone, Mr. Harle Wilson, is simply phenomenal; no better sing ing was ever heard in Athens, and Mr. Wilson has won a high place in the music, loving hearts of Athens. Also the singing of Mr. C. Cameron, the high tenor, deserves especial note, as his voice is unusually sweet and clot* r. Mr. Frank E. McNish fully sus tained himself as the minstrel mon arch, and good judges of minstrelsy in Athens say that his work is the best ever seen in the city. The specialists were all clean, new, novel, interesting and strictly up-to- date. The Toledo Brothers are wonders as contortionists and their make-up as the crocodile and lizard excited the admiration of all. The Bonelli’s, the novelty trick barrel jumpers, came in for a good share of splendid work for the com pany. Last, but by no means least, are Coburn and Baldwin, the musical innovators. They made the audience fairly roar at times, while again it was open-mouthed in its astonish ment of the wonderful versatility of the two men with musical instru ments. Indeed nothing better than Mr. Baldwin's work has ever been seen in Athens. The entire company made a spien- dia impression and should they visit Athens Hiram, they will be given a h-arty welcome and reception." Seats on sale at A. B. Caine’s fur niture store. Select yours early and avoid the rush. A tiafTuey Boy In Spartanbug. In speaking of a business change in Spartanburg the Journal of Wed nesday says: ‘ Robt. C. Lipscomb, a well-known young business man, has bought the stock of Bishop Bros., and will con tinue the fancy grocery, confectionery and oyster business at the same stand.” •'Bob” went to Spartanburg several rn nths ago to go in busims-t with his hr ither-in-lar, Mr. Charlie Christ man, who is now manager of the Spar- lanburg branch of the Cudahy Pack ing House. He is a young man of pluck, energy and good business judgment, and merits public pat ronage. H>s friends in Gaffney hope that success will attend his new ven ture. More Train* for the Southern. A slight change of schedule will go into effect on the Southern railway Sunday and two more passenger trains will be put on the road. Prob ably none of the trains now running will be affected by the change, unless it he No. 11, the present night train go’ng West. But of the two new trains, one will go south in the morn ing and the other north in the after noon. This will be a great convenience to the people along the line of the Southern, and it will give us at Gaff ney two trains south in the morning and three north in the afternoon. Business men, especially, will ap preciate the change. Appointed Receiver On Tuesday Mr. James A. Willis received an appointment af temporary receiver for the property of McCraw Bros., bankrupts. The appointment is quite a compliment to Mr. Willis, inasmuch as it came without his knowledge or solicitation. The ap pointment was made by Mr. C. W. F. Spencer, referee in bankruptcy. Rock Hill. Mr. Willis is one of the rising young attorneys of Gaffney and there is a future, and a bright one at that, before him. Su.all Wreck on S. C. A U. K.

Agent of i the 8. C. A (I. K. It. It. it may interest the many friends j of Mr. Ed. Thomason who reside and do business along the line of tiicS. C. & G. E. R. R., to know that he is an applicant for the position of gen eral freight and passenger agent of that road, the position being made vacant by the death of the late Mr. S. B. Lumpkin. It is said by Mr. Thomason’s friends that he stands an excellent show of receiving the ap pointment. Mr. Thomason is at present the genial, courtly and uc- commodutiiig agent of the company at this uiaco. He came to Gailney several years ago from Shelby to suc ceed the late Junius Hopper and by his courtly manner ami general busi ness ability has won his way into the hearts of the people of Gaffney. Jr is through his influence that the S. C. & G. E. does more business at this place than at. any other point along the line. While everybody in Gaffney who is acquainted with Ed. Thomason would regret to lose him as a citizen, there is not one of his many friends who will not wish him ultimate success in the position to which he aspires. HyurM-Carroll.
