Turner and little daugh ter, Miss Julia, “took in” the excur sion to Atlanta. They report a good time. There was quite a surprise wedding at the Limestone Mills Sunday morn ing, the parties being Mr. J. Patter son and Miss Kitchens. Several of the mill girls look a little blue since their names appeared in print. We hope it is not indelible. Old man Snider tells a good joke on George Mosley. He went to see his best girl not long since, and being a little ahead of time, while his girl was putting the finishing touches to her hair, he occupied a rocker on the porch. Her little sister came out and said : “Ma says the next time you come here she is going to give you your walking papers.” Snider said he didn’t wait for the papers. Aunt Vic takes no “dragging” in her bus iness. Mr. Forest Gibson, a loom fixer at Abbeville, is at home for a short stay. The mill is making up time for all hands to go to the show. Capt. Bill Miller turned up on the sick list. He sometimes feels “tough” the day after Saturday. If sporting th« girls indicates mar rying, Jim Mosley will soon be no longer a single man. A Baptist and Methodist preacher were arguing about the denomina tions, when the Baptist said, ‘ Brother there is too much machinery about your denomination.” The Methodist replied, “There may be, but it don’t take near the water to run it.” There was once a preacher who was noted for his loud preaching. He went west and staid several years and on his return they appointed him to preach. After he got through a broth er stepped up and said. “You can not preach like you used to. I used to think you could be heard a mile ” The preacher replied. “I used to think that thunder killed the trees, but I have learned since that it is the lightning.” Long live The Ledger. Dreamkr Steve Welch, the young son of Dr. S J Welch, of Monroe, was taken to Charlotte Saturday to be treated for a mad dog bite. On the day previous, while he standing in his father’s yard at Monroe, a strange hound sprang ove the fence and attacked the boy. —See Wyatt’s Subsoil Plow at Smith Hardware Co. SHORT LOCAL ITEMS.

Any sort of picture can be enlarged to any size: landscapes sketched from nature or sil houettes drawn from life. A pupil who has never had a lesson before can make life-size portraits in from one to three weeks practice. A child eight years old can learn. By this method every family can have its own artist. There are no failures. Large classes wher ever presented. You are invited to visit the studio and see for yourself. Over 100 draw ings on exhibition* Each pupil is taught sep arately and success assured. Portraits made to order—strictly free hand work. Studio over O. E.
