Come to Gaffney and see how she is growing. And after taking a good look at the city, go around and see her splendid mills, her schools and last, but not least, Limestone College, the oldest and best school for women in the State. There was a mist of rain about six o’clock yesterday morning, which put the farmers to looking for wet fields again, but it soon held up, and the working Cherokeans were soon afield and the plows started. There were light mists in the afternon but the plows moved. Miss Dora Wiehens, home mission ary, who has been a faithful worker in this city for over a year, will re turn to her old home at Walhalla to visit her sister, Mrs. J. R. Duncan, • who is quite sick. Miss Dora’s strong Christian character and deep sympa thy for the poor and sick have won for her a host of friends at this place who deeply regret her departure, and hope to hear of the speedy recovery of her sister and her return to this field of labor at an early date. The contractors are building an iron bridge across Pacolet river near Grindal shoals, at the new crossing of the river which conforms to the loca tion of the Union road, which has been recently changed on this and the Union side of the river by the county authorities of this and Union counties. This change of this old road will greatly improve the grades, will furnish better approaches to the bridge, and the bridge will be much shorter than at the old place, and the distance will not be increased. The Thursday Afternon Club had its fourth annual meeting yesterday afternoon at the home of Miss Louise Jefferies. All the officers were pres ent and there was a large attendance of members. The business of the club was first transacted and found to be in good condition. After this the social features of the meeting were en tered into. Every event was of the swell style and heartily entered into and enjoyed by all present. It is enough to say that the refreshments were lavish and delicious, for Miss Jefferies is noted for her hospitality good taste and skill in this depart ment at her social functions. THE LIMESTONE GUARDS. Inspected Wednesday Night by a United States Officer. Capt. A. M. Hunter, of the U. S. artillery corps, with Col. J. C. Boyd, of Greenville, colonel of the First Regiment S. C. Volunteer Infantry, inspected the Limestone Guards in this city Wednesday evening at 8 o’clock. After the inspection Capt. Hunter expressed himself as very much pleased with the company generally, and said that the guns were among the best kept of any he had seen in the State, and that the morale of the company was high. Col. Boyd also expressed hiself as well pleased and said that the forty-three men present out of the whole number of fifty-one was above the average attendance of the companies heretofore inspected. These good things said by the in specting officers were very gratifying to the officers and men of the com pany, and have excited them to stronger hopes and renewed energy for the success of the guards. Capt. Otts says that he will not be content till the company is one of the best drilled in the State. Ths company was formed last July by Capt. J. Emile Harley with seventy- five men, but because of delay in pro curing equipments it dwindled down to twenty men, when business called Capt. Harley back to his former home in Barnwell. Capt. J. C. Otts was then asked to take command, and the com pany adopted the name of Limestone Guards, in honor of a company that was organized at Limestone Springs in the spring of 1861 for the Confed erate army and which served glori ously through the war between the States. . First Lieut. Mauney, who was one of the first men to enlist, has probably done more to hold the company to gether than any other man in its most trying time, which has endeared him to the officers and men and given him full confidence of them all. Sec ond Lieut. D. A. Young is a Spanish war veteran, is perhaps the best drilled man in the company and is enthusiastic in his efforts for its ad vancement. The high character and efficiency of Capt. Otts and Lieuts. Mauney and Young and of the young men composing the company augurs much for its future efficiency and vau- uable services. The company has procured one of the best halls in the city for its ar mory, where every arrangement has been made for the safeguarding of the company arms and uniforms and the strictest rules are enforced to keep its sanitary condition perfect. We are proud of the Limestone Guards, and hope the entire city will get in line and make ours the best military company in the State. Serious Stomach Trouble Cured.
