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.

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.
Yours fraternally,
R. C. Howard.
