On Thanksgiving day Mrs. Jane
Clary’s numerous children and grand
children and friends met at her home

After which all gathered around a

VUUtt H1h Old Home.
Z. H. Tate, of Keownville, Miss.,
arrived in the city Thursday. He is
in this city and county to visit his
brother, Mr. M. M. Tate, and his sis
ters, Miss Peggy Tate and Mrs. Gar
vin! Mr. Tate was raised to man
hood in the Union portion of this
county, and moved to Mississippi in
1857. He is impressed with the great
change that has come over this
county and is pleased with its pro
gress. When he left, where Gaffney
is now was “Gaffney’s old field,” with
a mile race track in it. Now the city
of Gaffney with her 6 000 people are
here. Mr. Tate is meeting quite a
number of old friends who are giving
him hearty handshakes and reciting
With him the days and events of their
youth.
Mr. Tate favored The Ledger with
a call Saturday and we find him a con
genial and interesting old gentleman.
He still loves his native land.

there would be another big building

stone street for a 40-100 feet livery

to them, they deserve it.
Nutrition U the Necil of the Race.
“Nutrition is the first need of the
race, and bread is the basics of all
strength and growth,” says Prof. H.
W. Wiley, the government chemist at
Washington. How essential it is
then that you should have pure Hour
out of which to make the bread.
“Clifton,” made at Bransford Mills,
Owensboro, Ky., is guaranteed the
purest and best, hence you should
insist on having it. Your grocer
sells it.
