A SCHOOL FOR INFANTS. The Mol here of the City Will Organize a Kindergarten In OafTuey. The mothers of Gaffney, or all of them who are interested, are request ed to meet at the residence of Mrs. H. I>. Wheat, on Granard street, to morrow (.Saturday) afternoon at 5:30 o’clock for the purpose of organizing a Kindergarten school in this city. Only twenty-four pupils, between the ages of three and seven, will bo ad mitted to the school; but as their admission is to bo decided by vote, it is seen that each child has an equal chance with the others, and all the mothers who desire their children to be taught in this manner should at tend the meeting and cast their votes. Miss Willis, a prominent lady of Columbus, Ga., has been engaged to conduct the school; and it is the de sire of those here who have the mat ter in charge that the organization and location of the school be decided upon at once so that she may be no tified, as her services are in demand elsewhere. Miss Willis has had long experience in kindergarten teaching. She is a lady of the highest culture and refinement, splendidly educated, and with her patient, gentle and af fectionate nature she is peculiarly fitted for the training of young chil dren. A Kindergarten ftchool has been needed in Gaffney for a long while, as by no other system can children be taught and trained so successfully. The system was invented by one Friedrich Frobel, a German educator, and the name means a "garden of children,” being synonymous with our "garden of flowers.” The intro ducer of the method saw that infant schools were not conducted right, and he set to work to study the ways and doings of infants from their birth, noting down systematically what kind of mental food and what kind of bodily activity Nature prompted them at each stage of their existence to prefer. He reach ed the conclusion, among other things, that "the work of the teach er is not to give knowledge from without, but to supply material, means and opportunities in a rational and harmonious order for the child’s mind spontaneously to work upon; and that in the presentation of their materials or occupations there must be no break, because all occupations which train must be developed out of each other.” The name of the school implies that children should be trained indi vidually like a flower or plant, and the kindergarten method has demon strated the fact that in no other way can a child learn so rapidly. It is a well known fact that early im pressions are generally more laating than those' made on the uiind later in life, and too much care and judgment cannot be exercised in training the infant mind. The terms of the Kindergarten to be organized here are exceedingly reasonable, and motberi in the city who have children between three and seven years of age should make an effort to enter them in this school. Remember the time and place for the meeting—at the residence of Mrs. H. D. Wheat, on Granard street, at 5:80 o’clock tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon. A SERIgg OF MEETINGS. Will Begin »t Cherokee Avenue Ueptlat Church Tomorrow Night. Services will be held tomorrow night in the Cherokee Avenue Bap tist Church, and Rev. Arch. C. Cree, pastor of the First Baptist Church of the city, will occupy the pulpit. The meeting tomorrow night will be the first of a series of meetings which are to be conducted at the Cherokee Avenue church for a term of ten days or two weeks, as the in terest manifested by the congrega tions of that church may determine. Rev. Mr. Cree will do the preach ing for Fastor Ford throughout the meeting,and all who attend will have the pleasure of hearing some good sermons.

Ail things taken into consideration Gaffney has one of the best mayors to be found in upper South Carolina. There is one thing about him, how ever, that even this newspaper can not approve of, and that is he is powerful slow in his movements and he certainly possesses some antiqua ted ideas that the mayor of a real live progressive town like Gaffney should not possess. One of these ideas is that he insists on maintain ing a very productive blackberry patch right in the heart of the town. In fact it adjoins The Ledger office and we have been put to our wits end lo keep the hungry printers at work instead of trespassing upon the mayor’s blackberry patch. Yester day morning Mr. W. 8. Hall, Esq , passed this blackberry patch and observed that a lady and her colored servant were picking blackberries. He recognized the lady, but thinking to play a practical joke on the mayor he went a little way up the street and seeing the mayor informed him that "two women were picking his blackberries.” Without ascertain ing who the two women were the mayor remarked "I’ll go right down and run them off. They’ve got no right to tresspass upon my property in such a manner. I’ll have them up before me for contempt of court if they don’t get off at once.” 8o saying he went off in a double quick step. A Ledger representativo met him about half way between the postoffice and the blackberry patch and being attracted by the unusual quick movement of His Honor ven tured to ask what was up. "Oh get out of my way, man, I am in a hurry. Somebody is in my blackberry patch, and I am going down there and put them out. I’ve got no time to fool with a blamed newspaper man any way.” So off be started again. When he reached the blackberry patch he observed two sunbonnets that hid the faces of the forms beneath, and not waiting to ascertain who they were he blurted out: "Say, there, what are you doing in that blackberry farm? Don’t you know you are' violating the law? Get out at once, or 1’il have you arrested.” About this time a smiling counte nance beamed oat from beneath one of the sunbonnets and Mrs. Little john said: "Oh Nathan, don’t make a fool of yourself,” and she went on picking blackberries while the mayor said he was in a hurry to go to the court house, as he wanted to see a man on important business.
