AT OLD STAND, MeMurK.'Hopper an<l Frhlmore Kntertaiii Their FrieiHls at a Itirtlulay Supper. One of the pleasantest little gather ings where Gaffney people were 1 brought together was that at the res idence of Mrs. S. L Hopper, Sr., last evening, the occasion being a birth day supper tendered by Messrs. Sam Hopper, Jr., and Arthur Pridnaore to a few friends in honor of their ’steenth anniversary. It was an informal af fair, without ostentation or display of any kind; but for genuine pleas ure and thorough enjoyment it would be difficult 10 surpass. The supper was splendid, and the ‘ justice” done to it by the assembled guests was ample evidence of the high regard they had for Mrs. Hopper’s marvelous attainments in the culinary art. As Sam Hopper, Jr., is already married and no longer an individual in whose age the fair sex can have any interest, it is not necessary to mention it. Arthur Pridmore still ‘‘dwells in single blessedness,” but it is reported that he will get married next Sunday, and as the young lady of his choice might raise some objec tion to him on account of either his ‘‘tender age” or his “many years,” it might be wise to refrain from giv ing the secret away. Suffice it to say that both he and Sam are good fel lows and know how to entertain their friends. The following gentlemen were pres ent: D. C. Ross, Wofford Humphries, John Elliot. Sam Hopper, Jr., Arthur Pridmore, Harry Byars, Ed H. De- Ten - - Per Cent. saved from what you earn will cause you no inconvenience, and i will make you comfortable in the course of time.
