Mr. T. A. Lavender, the slasher-
rooni boss, is the right man in the
right place. The company it well
pleased with the way he dieputches
business.
Mr. Porter Oixon, who has been
sick for some time, is getting along
nicely.
We are pained to note the death of
Miss Dora Sapaugh, of Earl. X. C.
She was a niece of old man' Dreamer.”
Mrs. W. A. 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.

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.

‘'Black and White.”
"Black and White” is the name of a new
j system of drawing in crayon, so simple that
any one can learn it.
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. V itkins’ Store,
