The progressive euchre party given by Major and Mrs. Jno. F. Jones Tuesday evening was one of the most delightful card parties ever given in the city. Their beautiful home never looked prettier than it did on this oc casion in its decoration of potted plants, holly and misletoe. The soft, mellow lights from the many candel- labras throughout the different draw ing rooms added beauty to the scene.

EMANCIPATION DAY Grandly Celebrated by Colored People of Gaffney and Vicinity. Yesterday was emancipation day and was duely celebrated by the colored of Gaffney and vicin'ty. The line was formed at Dunton’s chapel about 12 o’clock and was composed of all ages and sizes of both sex. It had two or three hundred in line, the majority on foot, with quite a num ber in buggies and carriages with some in the rear on mules. The procession was under the com mand of R. C. Corry, Abram White and Wm. Petty, all on horseback. Dick was commander in chief and in his coal black prince Albert coat, snow white duck pants and beaver hat, he sat his horse like a statue, ana moved with the ease, grace and dig nity of a cork on choppy waves. To see Commander Corry his authority was apparent, but when in stentorian tone he delivered his commands ail doubts were dispelled and he was rec oned the commander that he looked. Sub Commanders White and Petty j deported themselves creditably. There subordinate positions, however, did not give their talent full play. Petty especially looked uerbed but performed his duties, though subor dinate they were, with a zeal and promptness that showed laurels were awaiting him. The procession marched through the principle streets of the city with the steadi less ofa malitia and through out the march deported themselves in a manner most creditable indeed. After the “street parade” termina ted, the procession returned to the chapel and after the usual prelimi- uasies on such august occa sions. Suitable music was ren dered by a select choir; the emanci pation proclamation was read and appropriate speeches were made by Rev. R C. Campbell, Dr. Minus, Rev. D. 8. Collier, Rev. A. J. Jones and others. After the program for the occasion had been rendered, apparently much to the satisfaction of ail concerned, the large assemblage broke up and quietly went to their homes. The best of order prevailed through out. Commander Corry did well but be, by no means, seemed safe in his positicn. Petty evidently has his eye on it. Gone Again! Mr. H. M. Johnson, of the Gaffney Live Stock Co., leaves to night for the Western markets for another lot of fine mules. Con sult your own best in terest and wait for his return. An Old Year Party. Mr. and Mrs. Sumter Littlejohn gave an "old year party” Wednesday night in honor of Misses Laura, Catherine and Ruth Dillard, of Spar tanburg, who have,been their guests during the holidays. There were about fifty young ladies and gentle men present, among them being, Mr. Author Dillard, of Spartanburg. Re freshments were served and innoceut games indulged in until the birth of the New’ Year when all departed voting Mr. and Mrs. Littlejohn as ideal host and hostess. It is safe to say that Mr. and Mrs. Littlejshn en joyed the occasion quite as much as the young folks, for they are a most congenial pair and are never happier than when making others happy. Opportunity will often delight a man by meeting him half way; but there are many men who really ex pect her to send a twelve-hundred- dollar automobile after them ! New Century Comfort.

Good clay, good machinery, up-to-date methods, in fact a thousand details, are a necessity to produce the best brick. We have our plant fully equipped for a capacity of 15,000,000—not only that, but have a body of the finest river clay ever located in this country. Our plant is on the Catawba river near Port Mill, S. C., and shipping station, Grattan, S. C. “A man is a man for a’ that,” but what a difference in ’em. You require tlie best lumber for your house; the best coal for your engine; the best flour for your table. One does not buy a common horse when he can get a much better for the same price. This is true about everything one needs. In a building nothing is more essential than good material. It adds to the safety and wear, l>eides ’twill sell ' for more. Who would not pay more for a building put up out of first quality mate rial than for oue thrown together out of common ordinary brick ? Ivet us correspond with you. Prompt service in shipments.
