M's paying a Doctor to write a prescription if you are going to allow it to be filled with stale, impure drugs? But, you say, How can I tell whether or notdrugs are fresh ? You can’t, but you can take it to The Gaffney Drag Go. where there are NO stale, impure drugs. We use Merck’s Che micals and Sharp and Dohme.’s Pharmaceu ticals. Ask anybody who knows, if their name on a label doesn’t stand for PURITY. It does make a difference who fills your prescrip tions. The Gaffney Drug Co. Look for the Horseshoe Sign. Limestone St. Next Sunday is Easter. Home raised sweet potato seed are rather scarce this year. The usual Saturday crowd was with us Saturday and our merchants did a big business. Hishop Capers arrived in the city yesterday afternoon and preached in 1 the Episcopal church last night. 1 The cold wave came on time Sun day, but it was not intense enough 10 do any damage to fruit or small veg etables. • ! Gardens are backward. Few of them in the county have been fully planted owing to the cold and damp weather. Farmers report that the fall sown ■ oats have been killed, but that the I wheat that showed up so poorly dur- ing the winter is making wonderful growth. Rev. L. C. Ezell filled his regular appointment at Limestone Springs Baptist church Sunday. While in | the city he favored The Ledger with an appreciated call. There will be a stewards meeting of the Buford St. M. E. church South Wednesday evening after prayer meeting. Each member of the board is requested to he present. John Camp, a white man who was sentenced to the county chain gang last October for twelve months for stealing a bicycle, escaped from the gang Saturday. He was a native of Cleveland county, N. C. The hoys heard of foxes in this county too late last winter to get their dogs trained to run them. They are, however, having some fine races after a fox skin carried by negroes these nights and say they will be I ready for live foxes next winter. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Bullock, of Greenwood, have moved to Gaffney and are, for the present, occupying , a cottage on Logan street. The Led ger welcomes them to the city and 1 trusts that their coming among us will prove pleasant and profitable to them. . Gen. Frost, adjutant general, will j inspect the Limestone Guards at the armory Wednesday night at 8:30. A full attendance is urged; and it Is hoped that all employers of the sol- | diers will assist the company by ar ranging their work hours so that all the young men can get out for the in- ! spection. This is election year, and while 1 no candidates have announced them- | selves yet there Is likely to be the usual full crop. The officers to be elected in Cherokee this year are, county supervisor, treasurer, auditor, and two members of the legislature; also a magistrate for each township, one for Blacksburg and two for j Gaffney. Our old friend Mr. Sam’l. P. Porter brought to The Ledger office on Fri- day a section of an oak tree of which he was making boards, that had im bedded in it a minnie ball—the kind used on both sides in the war be tween the States. The growth of the tree over the place where the ball entered shows that it was shot into I it more than thirty years ago. A visit to Mr. E. R. Cash’s poultry yards in the eastern part of the city would be interesting and profitable to anyone. Mr. Cash has many of the I popular breeds of chickens and I ducks, and the perfect arrangement ; of his yards, houses and nests shows i the exact business methods that I characterize hi work in his higher sphere, as superintendent of the Limestone cotton mills. The Whittaker Cotton Mill Co., of Blacksburg, will begin in a short j time to work on a large addition to its present building The changing of the knitting mill in Blacksburg to a yarn mill means much for our sis ter city across the Broad. It will add many people to her population and will be the beginning of an era of prosperity in the city that it so richly deserves. Change in Delivery of Mail. Mr. Editor, Dear Sir:—Will you allow me space for saying to patrons on line of rural free delivery service that after April 1st, next, all having no boxes as required by the law will get their mail at the postoffice. This is no ar bitrary ruling of mine, but of the postofflee department in accordance with the law governing the service. It appears to me that after so much is being done by the department to give the people better mail facilities they should gladly avail themselves of its benefits, even though it cost double. It is evident the change Las been beneficial to those who have prepared for the service. Pi isume increase of your subscription list will bear me out in this statement. Truly yours, A. R. N. Folger, P. M. WHY WOMEN SIN. The Prettiest and Purest Play Ever Written. [Syracuse Journal, April 28, 1903.] “Why Women Sin," is the first really ‘glad clothes’ play the Grand has had in a long time, and the audi ence acted as if they liked it, and the number of people that went to the Grand yesterday to find out why wo men sin, was a caution. The name suggests a problem. The play is an old story handsomely told, with beautiful scenery and costumes and by better players than the average. In construction the piece is clever, containing stormy situations, plenty of heart interest and heroic efforts, with a sprinkling of bright comedy in the right proportion.” Can Now Fill Prescriptions. From the News Leader of Rich mond, Va., of the 25th inst., we learn that our young townsman, Joe N. Littlejohn, successfully passed his examination before the Virginia State Board of Pharmacy last week and is a registered pharmacist. He will be at home the last of the week and will resume work at the Cherokee Drug store, where he will have charge of the prescription depart ment.
