The Buckeye Mower is often spoke of as “The Father of Mowers.” The prase, with all the respect implied by it, is thoroughly justified. The Buckeye was the first machine made expressly for grass cutting, drawn by horses. All gra>s cutting by horse-power previous to the Buckeye invention, that iS, pre vious to 1855, was done by reapers. The latter was the only mower, without a single exception, having a single drive-wheel and a rigid cutter-bar, as all sucU machines have to-day. In 1855, 185G and 1857 tho Buckeye House made the only mowers in the world that moved on two drive-wheels, that had hinged bars, lever for tilting, lever for raising the bar, and other devices now regarded as indispensable. We may add that the Buckeye lias not only held firmly to its place as “The Father of Mowers,” but it is to-day more deeply and more universally anchored in popular favor than any harvesting device that was ever built by the hand of man.

John Butler Royally Kn- tertain a Number of Their FrieiulN. One of the most delightful and thoroughly up-to-now occasions that have boon inaugurated for tho enjoy ment of the young people of the city, was the lawn party Wednesday evening at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. 8t. John Butler, on Logan street, tendered by Mr. and Mrs. Butler in honor of their guests, Misses Gibson and Agnew, two of Columbia’s fair residents who are always welcome visitors in our city. As every one in GafTney knows. Mr. and-Mrs. Butler are ideal enter tainers, and on this occasion they had omitted nothing that could add in the least to the pleasures of the evening nor to the loveliness of the surroundings. Rustic seats were arranged around the yard and formed tempting places for the “little inter views” which are the special features of such gatherings; while Japanese lanterns cast a rich and mellow glow over the scence and invested it with a halo of enchanting loveliness. The refreshments were superb. Punch, genuine punch, was first served to tho thirsty revelers by Misses Lillian Hopper and Eva Ross. Then came ice cream and cake and cake and ice cream—all kinds and flavors to suit any taste; and after that—more punch.' The occasion was one round of solid enjoyment from beginning to end, and the “hour for departure” came all too soon for everybody. But each and everyone carried away a train of memories that will brighten his or her existence for many days to come. Those who composed the “lawn party” were: Misses Addie McArthur, Agnes Lit tlejohn, lone Littlejohn, Annie Brown, Dora Scott. Inez Sarratt, Edna Sarratt, Rosa Johnson, Lillian and Mittie Hopper, Myrtle Gafl- ney, Alie, Ethel and Eva Ross, Fan nie Fort, and Edith Fort of Gaffney; Maggie and Mary Swygert. of Peaks; Laura and Fannie Parish, of York- ville; Virgie Garlington, of Spartan burg; Messrs.

Our KrlemlH SUM ‘'Ueuieiuber” I'm, Our friends still continue to re member us in a tangible manner. Mrs. W. H. Richardson sent us a mammouth Irish potato a few days ago which, in size, was ahead of any thing we have seen in that line. It weighed one and a quarter pounds, and was a suflicient “mess” for one lerson. rs. Lizzie Hildreth, of this city, ^d us with a fine specimen of ir and some peas that were a to us.

Last week a meeting was held at Parish’s Hotel to consider the mat ter, and after an address by Prof. Gamewell, of Spartanburg, in which he laid before the assembly the ad vantages to be derived from a lyceum here, a committee was appointed to discuss the plan at greater length and decide upon something definite in regard to the proposed organiza tion. Wednesday afternoon the commit tee met at Parish’s Hotel, with Dr. Lee Davis Lodge as chairman, and soon decided to organiza the lyceum. The arrangement is for the town of Gaffney to co-operate with Limestone College in securing a first class lecture course for next season.^ The price for a season double ticket was fixed at $2.50; so those who purchase these tickets will get tho benefit of the lectures for the insignificant sum of twenty-live cents each. Owing to the very liberal part that the college hears the town will have to raise a comparatively small amount of money to secure a course of five lectures from some of the ablest men In the United States. A good many ladies were present at the meeting, and they were very much in favor of the course determni- cd upon by the lyceum committee. The ladies of Gaffney have taken the matter in hand, and will canvass the town. Everybody who is interested in the progress of the town should buy a ticket. Those who desire to see and hear some of of the great men of oar country(and we believe there are many such in Gaffney) and are not able to bear the expense of a trip to a dis tant city for that purpose, can, by a very small outlay, bring a half dozen or more of the most noted lecturers in America almost to their own doors. By the new apportionment Cook county, 111,, which includes Chicago, will have, two years hence, 57 of the 153 members of the house of repre* aentatives of Illinois.
