Hair Brush Talk
There is no question about good hair brushes
being the most economical kind to buy. A good
“solid back” hair brush with good bristles will
last you as long as a half dozen cheap ones. We
have an elaborate assortment of these high grade
hair brushes; you would hardly find a larger
stock in a city store and we are selling them for
25 per cent, less than you would have to pay for
them in a city. If you want the cheaper ones,
we have them too From our well selected stock
we can supply you at a low price with any grade
and style hair brush that you may want.

MAYOR’S COURT.
Farmers are selling new hay in the !
city almost every day.
Since the rain the last of the week, i
the weather has been unusually cool
for July.
• Three blocks of brick stores are be
ing built in Gaffney now. One of them
contains the National Bank’ s new
building.
Rev. Amos Clary preached at Lime
stone Springs Baptist church Sunday
morning, and Sunday evening at the
First Baptist church.
|
All persons interested in the grave
yard at Buffalo church will meet there
next Saturday, the 30th inst., for the
purpose of cleaning it off. They will
meet at 8 o’clock a. m.
J. D. Pryor, of Stevy, came to the
city Friday and was selling various
vegetables and melons from his truck
patches. “Joe” seldom comes to town
but that he brings something to sell.
Ed Thomasson, of this city, one of 1
the most efficient railroad men in the
State, has accepted the position of
agent at Greenwood for the Seaboard
At Line. Mr. Thomasson says Green
wood is hustling.
T. C. Petty was in to see us Satur
day and told us that he ate new sweet
potatoes from his patch on the 15th
inst. The 15th of July is pretty early
for new sweet potatoes, but “T. C.”
is a trucker that leads.
There will he a picnic at Mount Pa-
ran church next Saturday, the 30th
inst. Everybody is cordially invited i
to attend and carry well filled has-J
kets. And they are going to be there,
for Cherokeeans know what a picnic
at Mount Paran means.
Kinsey Huskey, who has been
spending some time in Florida on a
visit to his uncle, has returned. He
favored The Ledger with a call a few
days ago and expressed himself as
much pleased with his trip, and gave
a glowing account of Florida.
Many people were in the city Sat
urday. Almost every portion of the
county was represented, and with few
exceptions good rains, well worked
and rapidly growing crops are re
ported. This is a good showing for
Cherokee, and we trust it will not he
marred by any untoward future cir
cumstances.
Thursday evening about the time
we were going to press with Friday’s
paper, the clouds came out from the
northwest and soon overcast the sky.
In a short time the rain began to fall
and continued for an hour or more.
From Gaffney it appeared that the
whole county was being soaked, and
we are glad to say that most of It
was. But from Ezell and other points
on the North Carolina line we learn
that the rain was light, and that crops
are suffering from the dry weather.
Friday afternoon another light rain
fell, which was a welcome one, as the
crops need much moisture at this
stage of their growth.
Saturday and Sunday Sinnres Before
the City’s Tribunal.
At the mayor’s court yesterday
morning. His Honor was greeted by
rather more than the usual number of
Saturday night and Sunday sinners.;
The first to appear to answer for his
sins was Bob White, a gentleman of
color, who was charged with vagrancy.
Bob’s defence was that he didn’t live !
in town, but it didn’t go with His
Honor, and he gave the colored White
$25 or 30 days. His recent occupation j
made it necessary to take the days, |
and he took them.
Next came George Ferguson, color
ed, drunk and disorderly. He was
also given an option of $25 or 30 days, j
and like White, chose the days.
Then came Spain Reid, a good work
ing negro who thinks he would do a
great wrong if he didn’t celebrate a
little on Sunday. He went too far
this time and let some one see his
concealed weapon. He was offered
$10 or 20 days, and chose the $10.
Gobi Smith, colored, was then
hauled up, charged with drunk and
disorderly. He was offered $5 or 10
days, and having had large experience
in the days business in this and other
States, he naturally inclined to the
days, and took them.
Then came Rob Holloway, a colored
boy about 15 years old, whose swag
gering strides in the streets every day
have long been pointing to the good
roads class. He was up for disorderly
conduct, and got the offer of $5 or 10
days, and being loath to change his
course he took the days and went right
into the class.
Last came two white youths, George
and Freer Scruggs. They are unruly
boys and have been in the mayor’s
court before. They were up for va
grancy. His Honor gave them $25 or
30 days each, and naturally, like all
of their profession, they took the days,
and with all the above named, were
marched out to the county convict
camp, where they will work out their
days and incidentally receive instruct
ion in road building.

Tues. & Fri.
Star Theatre
Three Nights
Rocked by Negroes.
Last Saturday night about 11
o’clock as Luther Sherrill and Asbirry
Pearce were going out to Pearce’s
home, just after they passed the home
of Rev. J. B. Wilson they were at
tacked by about a dozen negro men
with rocks, one of which hit Sherrill
on one shoulder. They asked the ne
groes what they wanted ami received
in reply curses and more stones.
Under ordinary circumstances for
a negro to hit a white man with a
rock would he a serious offense. Of
course we can’t tell how this case will
turn out, but hitherto it only cost the
negro his home.
Child's Hat Lost.
A short time ago as Mr. R. S. Cook
and children were returning from a
pleasure trip to the Cowpens battle
ground, one of the children lost a
small sailor hat Just above Gaffney.
The finder of the hat will confer a
favor by bringing or sending It to Mr.
cook, or to The ledger office.
