The National Bank Now in Its New
Home.
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. Suffice it to say that
the bank is doing business at the
new' stand and its clever and effici
ent officials will be glad to see their
friends at any time they may have
occasion to call.

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.
