4.' ■ 'If''* > J ft. '-•VC THE LEDGER. Tuesday ana Friday, H. DeCarnp, Editor and Publisher, W. Griffith. Local Editor. NOTES AND C MME JT8. The future f>f no town was ever brighter than that of Gaffney. Watch us grow in the next few years! ■ ■ • By all moans we should have some bind of a business organization. As It is. we are moving along; but with a little push we would go at a mo’-e rapid gait. • * • The municipal campaign is on. The slogan of every voter should be for the elevation of men of integrity, honesty and ability, as well as men of progressive ideas. • * * Mayor Gaffney has called a meeting of the fire department for Wednesday night at 7 o’clock at the city hall. This is a step in the right direction, and it is to he hoped that our fire de partment may be greatly improved. • • • Just as we expected. Some of our pro-dispensary contiemporaries are haring quite a lot of fun at our ex pense on account of the controversy between Mr. Trescot and Mr. Hal' man, but the fact remains that our condition is better than during th< reign of the dispensary, and we be lleve it will be a long time before the people will consent to either dlspen s&ries or barrooms again. • • • We don’t know how many blind Tigers’ were in this county before the dispensary was voted out, or how many are here now; but we do know there is not near as many people to be seen* under the influence of whis key as there were before—notwi*Ti- standing that we advertise Checkers and Peruna. But it wouldn’t do to abolish it entirely, because some day our friend of the Yorkville New Bra, or some other thirsty knight of the quill, might visit us; In which event we could offer him Checkers or Pe runa. It might be a poor substitute; but perhaps better than none at all! Drayman Arrsted. (Greer Observer.) Herndon Upscrmb, colored, dray man for the Greer Furniture Co., was arested Monday by Deputy Sheriff W. C. Durham, of Cherokee coufity, and carried to 'Gaffney to answer the charge of getting goods under false pretense. The alleged act was com mitted some two years ago when Lip scomb was a resident of Gaffney. Lip scomb is an honest and well meaning darkey and we hope he can clear him self of the charges against him. —Buy your Oysters from C. C.

Gaffney Hardware Co. To Wash White Articles.—Wet the pieces*to be washed; rub the soap on well—especially over the soiled places; then roll up the pieces and put them int a tub with just enough lukewarm or cold water (not hot) to cover them. Use either lukewarm or cold water, according to your own comfort. Let the clothes soak about thirty minutes. The dirt will then be so loosened that it will come out easily on the wash-board or in the wash ing machine. Do not boil or scald the things. After washing them rinse the clothes thoroughly—blue, ring and hang out. This method purifies and whitens the wash. Flannels and Other Woolens.—Wash them in lukewarm suds, rinse thoroughly in lukewarm water, wring loosely, and hang up at once. As these garments must not be boiled, Fels-Naptha is particularly effec tive in washing them, preventing roughness and shrinking. Scrubbing and House Cleaning —Fels-Naptha so ip washes dishes, cleans the kitchen, porcelain tubs, tile floors, oil cloths, brightens paint, whitens floors, and does all like things throughout the house most quick* ly and easily with lukewarm or cold water. T i Remove Grease and other spots and stains from clothing, carpets, or anything —Brush first and tljen apply to the places some of the soap lather, leave it on a few minutes, and rinse off well with a rag or sponge. The Hands and Skin are not irritated by Fels-Naptha, because nothing injurious is used in making this soap; there is no dipping first in hot and then in cold water; an even temperature is a great preserver. Other Advantages.—Fees-Naptha soap will d‘o splendid work quickly. The wash is completed without boiling or steaming, and very little rubbing. Garments are not worn out, nor their fibre destroyed by chemicals or by boiling. No fuel is needed. There arise no poisonous suds-steam vapors to breathe. It does more work, does better work, and does it easier. Harms nothing, not even the most delicate fabric. For sale by Anchor Buggies. ^ ^-< | • A-PEELER & CO,, 5,10 & 25 cts, Storn.
