L If anybody has a message for the people of this community he cannot deliver it to them so effectually, so cheaply, so quick ly in any other way as through ^ the columns of this paper. ♦ It is the business of this pa- 4 I per to carry messages of one ^ kind and another into homes. 4 , The message will be delivered, ^ too, under favorable conditions, . for few persons take up their T local paper except in a pleasant ' and receptive frame of mind. The sign upon the fence board may be good, but it can be seen only by travelers who go that particular road. The message 4 in the local paper carries itself 4 to thousands, no matter by which | road they travel. 4 Select your space and put 4 your message where it will do ^ the most good. ^ We, perhaps, can help 4 you if you will but ask us. Is Economy an Object to You? Economy, at the expense of quality, is extravagance. The “ Howard” is a piano of quali ty, but economy in its con struction is practiced by elimi nating costly ornamentation. It is modest, but refined; plain, but solid and reliable.

Alex Northey died at his home a few miles north of Gaffney Wednesday morning of tuberculosis, after an illness of several months. During the latter part of his illness he had been confined to his home for about three months. Mr. Northey was forty-six years of age and leaves a wife and three children. He was one of Cherokee county’s most respected and beloved citizens and all who knew i him will join in sympathy for his wife and children in their great bereave ment. The Ledger offers its sympathy to the bereaved ones and hopes that they may be enabled to see the silver lining to this dark cloud of sorrow that is now hoveling over their home, from the fact that there is a time coijuing when all shall be joy and hap piness ip that place where No more farewells are spoken, No more sad and weeping eyes. No more family ties be broken, In that home beyond the skies. Mr. Northey was a member of the Draytonville Baptist church. He was a Mason. The funeral was conducted ; yesterday at Draytonville with Mason- t ic honors. J. W.

Quite an excitement was caused Thursday night by a large yellow- breasted hound acting on the queer. After a consultation of several min utes it was decided that the dog should be condemned to death and that the sentence should be carried out as early as pistols, rocks and various other implements of war could he ob- .Mned. We understand sixteen shots were fired by one of the policemen and a grocer at. the poor condemned dog. It seems that the said policeman is a very bad marksman, wich is at tributed to his being very much in love. When the writer reached the scene of war the firing had ceased but the night operator was throwing rocks and was still hurling them at the poor dog the last heard of him. After se curing ail the lanterns available at the depot and ticket office tho judg ment of the crowd wa that the death was caused by fright.

It is the figure of a hoy hold ing a metal receptacle on his head,) I through which tho water will run and pour out into the basin at the bottom. The city wil make stringent laws j against the abuse and destruction of the property in the park, and they will he rigidly enforced—which is all right and proper. S CURE Only eight days.
