Mill UtiiitM Down for Kepalr*.

to make extensive repairs.

SHORT LOCAL ITEMS.
Capt. J. T. Thackston is back

The Gaffney Carpet Mill is running

tensive and extending business.

Will McAbee for a basket of delicious

we have seen this season and greatly
appreciated.
Prof. W. F. McArthur is erecting a
residence building on his farm near
the city and we learn that he will
move his family into it as soon as it
is completed.
( Work on the new buildings in Gaff
ney has been suspended in a meas
ure, owing to lack of building mate
rial. Contractor Baker finds it diffi
cult to get the material here as fast
as it can be used up.
Floyd L. Baker, who has been con
nected with The Ledger for the past
8 year?,has resigned to go North and
study the type setting machine. He
expects to take a few weeks’ vacation
and then go on to Washington and
enter the business there. Mr. Baker
was a capable and obliging workman,
who took a pride in the paper and an
interest in the business, and it is with
regret to the entire force that he is
to leave us.
MarriMge at Cherokee Fallti.
Mr. Alonzo Wright and Miss Lizzie
Gaffney, both of Cherokee Falls, were
married there Sunday by Rev. Mr.
Whelchel. The ceremony was par-
formed at the minister’s residence in
the presence of only a small number
of the closest friends of the young
couple—the wedding being in the
nature of a Gretna Green affair,
though no opposition was offered by
the bride’s parents.
Mr. Wright is an employee of the
Cherokee Falls Manufacturing com
pany and is a steady, honest and in
dustrious young man. His bride is
the daughter of Mr. , and Mrs. S. S.
Gaffney, of Cherokee Falls, and is a
very modest and attractive young
lady.
Mr, and Mrs. Wright have gone to
the home of the former’s parents near
Hickory Grove, where sbey will spend
a few days.
The Ledger joins with their numer
ous friends in wishing them all the
happiness that this life affords.
Climbed it Tree and Stole a Hope.
Sometime Saturday night some one
who was probably much in need of a
well rope, clothes line or cow line en
tered the yard of Mr. Will Brown,
near Limestone, climbed a tree near
his house and took down twenty-five
or thirty feet of nice roping that he
had put up as a swing for his little
girl.
Such boldness is astounding, and
for low down thievefy and pure, un
adulterated cussedness combined,
the act has had few, if any, equals in
the annals of our city. Should the
miscreant be caught, about half the
rope applied externally would make a
more lasting impression upon him
than would a ten-dollar fine or thir
ty days on the chaingang.
Ordinary air is composed of oxygen
and nitrogen, except in Breathitt
county, Kentucky, where there seems
to be a considerable mixture of lead.
Thu March of 1’rourenM.
As long as people knew no better,
they were content to do without the
railroad, the telegraph, the tele
phone, etc., but who, in this pro
gressive age, would dispense with
these necessities now? So it is wifta
flour. As long as you use inferior
flour and know nothing of the merits
of Bransford’s ‘ Clifton,” you may be
satisfied with your bread, cake and
pastry, but if you try one sack of
“Clifton” the‘‘cake is dough” with
all inferior flours.
