The marriage of Mr. Dudley Duff, of this city, and Miss Mary May, of Rock Hill, is announced to take place at the home of Miss May’s sister in Rock Hill on tomorrow, the 24th. Many of our farmers have been using sweet potatoes for a month, and they are bringing good prices. They sell in the stores at $1.00 per bushel, and the crop bids lair to be abundant. Notwithstanding the damages to crops on some farms by hail, to take ; the entire county into consideration, j the conditions are such now to war- ! rant the expectation of a bountiful | harvest, for which we feel sincerely | thankful. The first open boll of cotton was sent to us Friday by our young freind, M. W. Brown, of Ravenna. Mr Jesse Pinson brought it to The Led ger, but he would not say that it grew in Mr. Brown’s field, and finally said Mr. Fernando Horn grew it. 1 J I K E C T O 1< W: A. N.^Wood, R. R.“Brown, C. M.

Hell is full of mnsical amateurs; music is the brandy of the damned. i Mr. George Herndon and Miss Mar tha Carroll, prominent people of ■ Cherokee township, were married on the 14th inst. by Rev. Thomas Mulli- nax, at the home of the bride’s fa ther, Mrs. W, H. Carroll. Good luck | to them is the wish of The Ledger. Mr. Hensdaie Robbins, who has been engaged in the livery and sales busi-1 ness in this city for some time, has, | much to the delight of his and Mrs j Robbins' friends, moved his family to the city. He is occupying Mrs. Dar win’s pretty building on Jefferies street. The county campaign meetings at Grassy Pond Friday and Macedonia Saturday were regular routine affairs. Each one had a fair “congregation,” and the candidates were given a re spectful hearing, were respectful to each other, and left the scenes feel ing pretty solid. Cherokee county today offers the finest field to investigators of miner- i als, experts and practical miners and investors of any county east of the Mississippi. Come to Gaffney and if the mineral prospect has no attrac tion for you, buy some Gaffney real estate. It increases in value every day. Watermelons are still coming in by the wagonload. To see a load of them excites the same feeling that a load of cotton did when the pro ducer was compelled to take from four to six cents for it—that of pity for the man who has to take less for his produce than it cost him in hard work. I. G. Sarratt, Esq., who has been spending some time with his daugh ters in Cherokee township, came over Saturday and reports good crops and a fine time generally. He says he at- j | tended the campaign meetings at ; Buffalo, Antioch and Blacksburg. He j says he never will forget the good pic nic dinners he ate at the two former places, nor how good the failure to get one at Blacksburg made the two lit tle apples taste that he happened to carry to the meeting in his pocket. J. C. Jefferies, Esq., attorney for , Dougall. with many aliases, and his pretended sister, Mrs. Rice, of Blacksburg, charged with living in adultery, appeared before Judge Townsend in Union last Friday to have the bonds of bis clients reduced. T. B. Butler appeared for the State. After argument by both sides the judge refused to reduce it, on ac count of the prominence of the par ties—the ‘“prominence," we presume, that money and the accusation give them. (’apt. S. S. Ross has extended his perpendicular shaft at his tin mine to a depth of eighty-five feet, at the bottom of which he ran a drift out to his main vein of cassiterite the ' character of the tin ore he is mining, and at that depth has struck it richer than ever. While the past work of ; Capt. Ross at his mine has been very successful, it has of course been preliminary, and while getting much tin it lias mostly been preparatory to the future operations of his mine. He now feels that the question of his | having a tin mine has been solved, and that from now on tin mining will be one of the permanent industries in Cherokee county.
