Ravenna, Jan. 13.—Missos Lillie and Mary Pryor, two yonng ladies of the Beaverdam section, have returned home after spending a few days here with their uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Mathis. Mr. T. G. Chalk, principal of the Antioch school, returned home yester day evening to spend Sunday with his family Our Sunday school last Sunday was one that will always be remembered Mr. J. B. Brown conducted the exer clses, and after the classee were heard Mr. Brown stated that t 110 Sunday school had just as well disband, as it was hard for them to get a superin tendent. At this time Mr. T. C. Green was nominated and a “rising vote” was called for, and Mr. Green was unanimously elected superintendent, while Mr. J. B. Brown was elected assistant superintendent. Mr. M. W. Brown, who has been connected with the J. J. Littlejohn Co., of Jonesville. has returned here and taken charge of his mercantile busi ness. His friends welcome him back again, after a year’s absence. Mr. Bryant Fowler, who was re ported seriously injured in our last letter, is doing as w T ell as could be ex pected, and it now looks like he will recover. Miss Ethel Walker has again taken up her school, after spending the hol idays with her relatives in Union. Mr. D. B. Brown is moving from this place up in the vicinity of Spartan burg. and we will all miss him. as he is a good-hearted fellow. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Brown and little GAFFNEY’S BANK PRESIDENTS In the persons of Messrs. D. C. Roas and C. M. Smith, presidents the Na tional and Merchants and Planters banks respectively, Gaffney probably has two of the youngest bank presi dents in the United States. These young men started to work in those institutions when they were both very young, and by close attention to busi ness and strict integrity have climbed to the highest offices in their respec tive institutions. Both of these young men started to work in those banks when but boys in years, and in the very humblest positions which the banks afforded; Mr. Ross, with what was then known as Carroll & Stacy s Bank and Mr. Smith with what was then known as A. N. Wood’s Bank. What they have achieved is possible for any young man who enters .busi ness with the determination to sue- Both of these youg men are po- sessed of charming personality, and are very popular with both sexes. Ru mor has it that they are both liable Ip the near future to wm mit paatrimony. ^ R 0 i and Rae are moving to Paco- Jucfging from some recent events let Mi jj s w h ere M r . Brown will run ' f a grocery store. Miss Nannie Mathis gave some of her friends a nice little party one night during the holidays. Miss Lcma Green also entertained a few friends in honor of Mr. Charley Griffin, of Florida, who has been vis iting relatives and friends here. There has not been any marriages in this section to report for The Led ger during the holidays, but if re ports are true there will be some in the near futaire. Mr. W. D. Camp, auditor of Chero kee county, was here today taking re turns for the year 1906. Mr. C. E. Petit and his brother. Clarence, attended services at Gouch- er last Sabbath morning. One of the most distinctive wed dings among the colored people was the one which made Malinda Brown and Henry Harris one for life. Henry is a fine shoemaker of Jonesvllle. while Malinda was one of Mitchell Brown’s daughters and one Henry should be proud of, as she is of a highly respected colored family. The Ledger is getting better since the new year has begun. It seems like its correspondents are crow’din# its columns full of news. C. are inclined to credit the report. Gaffney is proud of her two young bank presidents. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Take stock in the new series of *he Cherokee Building and Loan Associa tion. It is good for the investor, good for the borrower and good for Gaff- uer. • * * The already excellent Newberry News and Herald shows evidence of prosperity by enlarging to a six column quarto. We know of no newspaper worker whom we would rejoice more to see prosper than Elbert H. Aull. He is a prince among good fellows The Ledger sincerely wishes him unbounded prosperity. • » • Mr. Otts has introduced a bill to curtail the number of exemptions from jurv duty. If a bill could be devised whereby we could get a better class of jurors, it w'ould be infinitely better than anything else. It is a well known fact that numbers of people are drawn on the juries who are wholly unfit for jury duty. The bill which Mr. Otts has introduced may be of some benefit provided it becomes a law. but we are afraid that it is not sufficiently far reaching. • • • The future of Gaffney was never as bright as now. With the contem plated development of the water power on Broad river, within a few miles of the corporate limits, will mean an era of prosperity and progress unprece dented in the history of our town. We predict that within the next five jears Gaffney will be connected by trolley with all the neighboring towns, and when that occurs if Spartanburg is good we may extend our corporate limits and take her in Card From a Carrier. Mr. Editor;—Will you allow me space in your valuable paper, as I no ticed an article from R. F. D. carrier No. 3, touching just the thing we need now in this bad weather. Patrons, that is. to put your boxes up in good order as required; four and one-half feet from the ground and eighteen inches from the post and on level ground near the roadside and save the carrier from getting head and shoulder out of the wagon to reach ♦he box. When you have to get out eighty or ninety times a day, such days as we are having now, you are wet to the hone, and it makes it very un- nleasant as well as unhealthy for the carrier. You see what trouble and ex pense I have gone to to number your boxes, now it will be much cheaper for you to put them up according to the standard than it was for me to number them. Now by so doing you will not only oblige me but you will continue in the lead as you always have been. I am not like carrier on No. 3, I don’t think I have the best patrons of any other carrier, but I know I have the best, for they have proven it by their kind acts and by giving me bountifully of their best fruits, vegetables and melons, and for which they all have my sincere thanks, and as I have said before, No. 2, is made un of the best people of Chero kee and Cleveland counties, and I know they will be the first to put their boxes up Put your boxes up as required as early as possible, and you will not only be in the lead now, but you will continue so. as long as I am your car rier.
