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.

A LAWN PARTY.
THE LYCEUM. 9 .
Mr. iiixl Mrs. 8t. 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-

UnlTiiey itiM l.liiwHtoiio Will Unite In .Se
curing u Connie of Lectures,
A great deal of interest is being
manifested by a number of our liter
ary people, both ladies and gentle
men, in tho organization of a lyceum
in Gaffney.
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.
