N C. j One day last week a Ledger man being inclined to a few days outing, took the train at tlie S. 0. it G. E , depot in Gaffney and went over to : Blacksburg, arriving there about 11 o’clock a. in. He found the town active, with a goodly number of farmers in looking after business, and ' the merchants apparently doing a pretty fair middle week business He called on several friends among tbe business and professional men, and was given an appreciated welcome by them all. Among them were Messrs. D R. Bird, B. Blanton, 0. A. Os- bore, J. F. Whisonant and L. M. Holland, who had big stocks of goods j in their lines, all so well arranged i that one could see at a glance that they had their business well in hand ; and were making it a success. We also met our old friends, “Gil” Cline, Ira Hardin, K?q., E A. Trescot, E-q , X. W. Hardin, Esq., and Maj. J. JJ Kennedy and many others all of whom added to the pleasure of our stay in our sister city. We remained in Blacksburg till about five o’clock p. m., and tool, the j train for Marion, N. C. We found i the conductor and his help courteous and attentive to the wants and com forts of the passengers. The first 1 station reached was Earls, where we 1 found a nicely arranged villiage of substantial and tastely built residen- j ces and business houses where not J many years ago we saw trie native forest standing. Next came Patterson Springs, then Shelby, the prosperous county seat of Cleveland county, then came bat* timore, Moorsboro and other thriving ! railroad towns that have sprung up on the S. C. A G. E. road, since it was built. All of which are now thriving business centers, and show the thrift of the towns and their sup- | porting tcrilory. Then came Rutherfordton, one of 'the oldest towns in Western X. C., but it was so far from the depot that I we could see but little of it. After Rutherfordton came a number of j small places which seemed to be doing ! a large lumber business. We arrived at Marion about 8 : o’clock p m , and was soon comfor tably quartered in the home of a rel- i ative. Marion is the county seat of > c- Dowell county, and is one of the | most thrivin!» towns in Western X. I C. The business bouses are princi- j pally on Main street, and all of brick, j many with pressed brick fronts, and are of modern style of architecture and fdrnishings. The dwellings are up-to-date jn style and quality and are generally in the midst of hand- somiy graded and well k-pt grounds. There are several furniture factories 1 in Marion, wh ch have large capaci ties and are turning out large quan tities of all classes of furniture. The people of Marion are intel ligent and courteous, weii up on . Xorth Carolina and current events and their every surrounding makes it manifest that they are workers. After a most pleasant stay of a few days in Marion we returned to Gaff ney. and cannot now think of a place where a few days from home can be 1 spent more pleasantly than at Ma- ; rion, X. C. Iiifttalled. The recently elected trustees of the graded and public schools in Gaffney were regularly installed in office Mon day, by Superintendent of Education , McArthur.
