Last Thursday the National Hank of Gaffney moved Into its now home at (he corner of Limestone ami Fred erick streets. For nearly a year the officials of the bank have been look- Ing forward to this event, an<> it was a proud day in the history of the institution. We have had occasion before to remark on the handsome apartments. Nothing that we have said would give the reader a faint idea as to the now home of the hank. We hope to be able to present an il lustration of the new building and a detailed write up of the institution j in our issue of next Friday, and we do not care to spoil that article with any attempt at describing the build ing at this time.

An Up-to-Date Wedding. In the beautiful home of Mr. James Burgess at 2:30 P. M., Wednesday, 1 February 1st, his charming daughter, Miss \. Columbus Burgess, was mar ried to that pleasant and handsome young Macedonian, Mr. Ed. H. Byers. The attire of both bride and groom was beyond criticism. They were lovely to look upon, and that which added complete grace to the occa sion was the elegant material that composed the attendants—Mr. Ar thur Hopper, Miss Cora Lee Swafford, Mr. Ernest Daniels, Miss Tessie By ers. The ceremony was performed in a brief, pointed, earnest w r ay by Rev. W. T. Thompson, witnessed by a large number of friends. The bride and groom led the way to the spacious dining room, which was decorated and substantiated with beauties and delicacies and good things to look upon and to partake of, and all were happy. This young couple represent two of the best homes in our county, therefore we look for them to attain to that splendid success that is the reward of the true and faithful, and we wish for them a full cup of joy for the present and future.

An Unsolicited Testimonial, Response to the success of the Aetna Life Insurance Company at Gaffney, through their giant-charac tered agent, Jones J. Darby, whom we are and have been personally ac quainted with since his first arrival at Gaffney as agent. He knows his business and attends to it. He carries the company’s interests and the pol icy-holders’ in the same balance and gives his undivided attention to the interest of each. Now a word to the laboring man of like experience with myself in the struggle for bread, with no other source of income but your own hands. See Mr. Darby at once and take in surance. A few’ years ago I took in surance in the Aetna with Mr. Darby. Since that time I have had the mis fortune to get hurt twice and sick once and being disabled from work, my source of income was cut off; the situation was sad. But I had done the wise thing; I had become a part of the Aetna and through the notice of Mr. Darby the company came to my relief. It was on the 28th of last December that I received a check from the company for $26.65, owing to the fact that I was carrying a health policy in the Aetna. Brother man, you owe protection to your family. Experimental associa tion is truth pure and simple. W. T. Thompson. Very Low Rates to Washington, D. C., and Return.
