DARBY, Agent. Gaffney Cordially Invited. An event that will be of the greatest interest to the ladies of Gaffney and vicinity will be the reception to be given by the National Biscuit Com pany at 905 Granard street Saturday afternoon, from two until five o’clock. Arrangements for the coming enter tainment are being completed by a reception committee, consisting of fifteen special representatives of the National Biscuit Company, who are now in the city. They are accompa nied by a corps of decorators and a ch’ef, under whose supervision re freshments will be served. The work of the decorators, which is already under way, will result, when finished, in an almost compltete transforma tion of the interior of No. 905 Gra nard street. This reception is one of a series which the National Biscuit Company is holding throughout the State. The expense will be enormous in the ag gregate, but the results Justify it. It is really a campaign of acquaintance, undertaken for the purpose of showing the finest baking in the world in the most practical manner possible. It is to enable every lady In this city to realize that the trade mark of the National Biscuit Company on each end of a package of biscuit, crackers and wafers is an absolute guarantee of the goodness, purity and crisp de- liciousness of its contents. This trade mark is always an assurance that perfect baking has been given the protection of a package which by excluding all air, impurity and mois ture, entirely prevents the possibility of contamination by dust, germs or handling. The refreshments to be served at the reception tomorrow afternoon will include many of the most deli cious products of the National Biscuit Company. In addition to Uneeda Bis cuit, there will be Butter Thin Bis cuit, Graham Crackers^ Oysterettes, Social Tea Biscuit, Zu Zu Ginger Snaps. Among the other delicious products of the National Biscuit Company are Nabisco Sugar Wafers and Festino Almonds—two confections that have won world-wide popularity because of their unsual delicacy and goodness. The equipment carried by the re ception committee consists of over half a carload of baggage. This is largely decorative material, but also includes the china and silver used in serving the i^freshments at the re ception. Every lady who can possibly be present tomorrow afternoon, should by all means do so. An enjoyable musical program will be rendered by Mrs. Wm. White, and other features will contribute to an afternoon of pleasant entertainment. The recep tion will be held from two until five o’clock, and a cordial welcome is as sured to every guest.

PEARL STEAM LAUNDRY Improvements at the Park. Mayor Gaffney is preparing to have the city park improved and beauti fied. Walkways are being laid off through it, extending from corner to corner and one through the center; and where they cross in the center of the park a neat pyramid of stones will be erected, ornamented by ferns and other plants, and a miniature fountain with sprayer attached will be placed in the center of the pyra mid and furnished with water from the artesian well. This work, of course, will add very much to the beauty of the park, and seats v ’ll he placed at intervals along the walks, under the shade trees, for the benefit of strollers, who are out I for pleasure and recreation. Mayor Gaffney is also contemplating having a hedge row set out along the hack edge of the park in order to cut off from the view of passers along the street the ill looking site in rear of j it, and the necessary trash and dirt around the powerhouse. This is a move in the right direction j by the city authorities, for Gaffney is ; in sore need of a nice park. *5 3-24*1111 ^..'WOOD'S For the Library. The entertainment in the Star Theatre last night, given by the la dies of the city for the benefit of the public library, was a pronounced suc cess in every feature—as such things usually are when they are In the hands of the good women. Quite a neat little sum was realized, and everything passed off nicely. Vi- ER MELON SEED: GROWN IN THK SUNNY SOUTH.
