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. Fully
warranted by us.

Death of Mr. Alex Northey.
Mr. J. 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.

Died of Fright.
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.

A Figure for the Park Fountain.
Mayor Gaffney has ordered a nice
bronze figure for the fountain at the
I park. 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.
