Anna Katharine Green Is a name well known in the world of fiction. The famous “ Leavenworth Case" is alone sufficient to make her reputa tion secure for all time. It is generally regarded as one of the strongest detective stories overwritten. Itisbynomians her only successful work. “Behind Closed Doors" and “That Affair Next Door” are types of most successful nov els. Another fascinating one has been added to the list— Lost Man’s l i FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY. I' j Everyone in Cherokee County | Will Honor the Lay. | A GREAT TIME FOR ALL. i Lane This is a detective story. It is full of mystery and excite ment. The plot is decidedly strong and the tangle that is started in the early chapters is not unraveled until the close. We have purchased the serial it : 8 An liupoKlua Street Parade of BualuenH Float* aud Decorated Vehicle*. Kace*. Ha*eball. Kpeak'nfr. Hand Concerts and Other Amusements. Friday will be the “Glorious Fourth," and without any question of doubt we are going to have the greatest celebration of them all. The indications of a record-breaking crowd ard more than good, they are sure. The merchabts, maunfacturers and business men generally throughout the city and surrounding country have signified their intention of spending the day at Limestone, and it is very certain that the great majority will close their places of business, offices etc., for the day. Gaffney is ready to honor Indepen dence Day, and our friends from various sections, here, there and elsewhere, are intending to assist in celebrating the great day. The first event on the programme will be the parade, and while this will lack the pomp that usually given, provided there are fifteen or more wheels In lice. In contradiction to reports that are being ciiculated regarding an in crease of charge at the gate. The committee informs the public that the usual fee of ten cents will be im posed. The Ledger correspondent at Etta Jane, is either of short memory or he belongs to the great army of “knock ers.” If he will lock over The Led ger files he will find a complete refu tation of his charge, regarding “his” colored sisters’’. In conclusion the committee invites the Sage of Etta Jane to “attend and participate in the festivities" attendant on the “Glorious Fourth.” We know he will enjoy himself and be in a posi tion to give a correct version of the celebration In the future. The prizes are on exhibition in the show window of R. A. Jones & Oo.’s store, 811 Limestone street. Every body is invited to stop and look at them. They are handsome and costly. Mr. C. L.

The many friends of Mr. J, Fred Foster in this and Spartanburg coun ty will be pained to learn of bis death, which sad event occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Lip scomb on Frederick street, in this city, Sunday afternoon at G o’clock in the 31st year of his age after an illness of several months. Mr. Foster was born nearCampton, in Spartanburg county, and was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Foster. He was a young man of fine sense and sterlingchuracter, was unpretentious, but his love for bis family and friends was ever apparent. When the Spanish-American war broke out he was one of the first to volunteer his services. He joined Capt. Hunter’s company (Co. E) of the First South Carolina volunteers and served with it until it was mus tered out of the service In the army he was a good soldier, ever ready for any duty that was assigned him, and discharged them as became his race and an American soldier from South Carolina. His intercourse with his comrades was so irar.k and manly that he was'loved by all. He bore his long affliction patient ly. which was soothed by the ever present loving hands of father, mother, a devoted sister and brothers and the best medical aid, and when the end came he passed away quietly. A sboiT funeral service was con ducted at tlie house by Rev. Arch C. Cree, when the remains were carried to Oakland cemetery and buried in the family lot The pallbearers were G. C Wi ; k- ins. W. W.
