Mr. George Herndon and Miss Mar
tha Carroll, prominent people of ■
Cherokee township, were married on

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.
