Murriat-e of Mins Mu^in-ss.
We clio the following from the
Spar.tanburg Herald of the 19th inst:
“On Sunday morning at 9 o’clock
Rev. VV. R. Richardson pronounced
the ceremony uniting the lives of
Mr. C. B. Sloan and Miss Hettie
Magness, at the home of Mr. Ed D.
Biers in this city. The bride is the
charming and accomplished daughter
of Capt. and Mrs. J. J. Magness, of
Grassy Pond. The groom is a lead
ing young business man of the
county, a member of the firm of Sloan
Bros., of Glendale and Whitney. Mr.
and Mrs C. B. Sloan left yesterday
for a trip to New Orleans, La.”
The Ledger congratulates Mr.
Sloan on his receivmg the heart and
hand of one of Dherokee’s fairest and
most popular daughters, and wishes
for him and his bride a long life full
of happiness.

A Model Wheat Grower.
Mr. James Pettit, a close observer
and one of the best wheat growers in I
the county, was in the city Wednes-,
day. He told us that the portion of 1
his wheat crop that he sowed by '
hand has a good growth, is green |
from the ground up, well headed and
promises a good crop; and that while
that portion planted with a d'ill is
not so promising, it has improved in
the last ten days and he now has
hopes of a fair crop from it. From
most sections we hear of some im
provement in the crop.
Mr. Joseph Pominvilie, of Still
water, Minn., after having spent over
$2,000 with the best doctors for
stomach trouble, without relief, was
advised by bis druggist, Mr. Alex.
Richard, to try a box of Chamber-
laiu’s Stomach and Liver Tablets.
He did so, and is a well man today.
If troubled with indigestion, bad taste
in the mouth, lack of appetite or
constipation, give these Tablets a
trial, and you are certain to be more
than pleased with the result. For
sale at 25 cents per box by Cherokee
Drug Co.; L. D. Allison, Cowpens.
If you havent bought your Oxfords just come in and look at
ours. Don’t pay $3.50 a pair when we guarantee you our $2.00
pair will look and wear as long as the $3.50. Come in and see
