But it is just as good as we know how to make it—or as anybody else knows how to make it. We have studied the soda question thoroughly and have put into practice all that we have learn ed. One of the most important soda truths that we fully appreciate is that the making of per fect soda requires perfect materials— nothing • less than the very best. This reduces profit, of course, but profit is not everything. Everybody is talk ing about how good our ice cream is. We make it and are willing for you to judge as to quality. Cherokee Drug Co., Limestone and Frederick Sts. A Proud Success. Mr. Chas. P. Ligon, district manager for the I'nion Central Life Insurance Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio, whose head quarters are in Gaffney has achieved a success that must be among the record-breakers In the insurance bus iness. In March, Mr. Ligon's first mouth in the business, he was thir teenth in amount of insurance written in the United States for his company. Ho lias just been notified that for April, his second month in the work, he occupies the eighth place on his company’s list of fifty biggest individ ual writers. Mr. Ligon is certainly to be congrat ulated on such a record. Ho says it’s ail due to his representing such a fine company as the Union Central—but the man who writes over $100,000 in surance in his first sixty days has some reason to be proud of himself. Such a company and such an agent \ deserve to get the business. A Big Dinner. The children of Mr. A. J. McCraw, who lives near Grassy Pond, honored his fifty-sixth birthday Sunday by serving an elegant dinner at his home. Each one brought in his or her part of the good things to eat, and it was all put together and served in picnic style under the shade of the trees in the yard. Besides Mr. McCraw’s own children and other relatives, there was a good crowd of friends of the family pres ent. Those who attended from this place were George Garrett Byers, J. P. Shuford and Virgil McCraw’s fam- ilv, Virgil, himself, being unwell and not able to go. Rev. John Ruppe was among the guests and enjoyed the oc casion heartily, as did all who were present. The dinner was a sumptu ous affair, as might be expected. Forty-Five Rats Caught. Dr. Nesbitt has begun to make war on the army of rats which has been devouring his corn at a great rate here of late. Friday afternoon the doctor set a brand new trap in his crib, and in a short while had ten fine fellows in limbo. Saturday morning the trap contained twenty-two. These were disposed of and the trap set again, and by noon Saturday thirteen more of the rodents had been captured, making a total of forty-five large, fine rats in a day and a night. It is not known just how many the doctor has caught since Saturday, but at the rate at which lie started off it should not take him very long to Hear his crib of the pests. Two Weddings. Mr. .Mills Higgins and Miss Mattie Moore, both of the Gaffney Mills, were married Sunday morning at the rest- ; deuce of Rev. G. P. Hamrick, that j reverened gentleman officiating. Sunday afternoon.
