The children, grand children and friends of Mr. Jonathan Moore, of the Buffalo neighborhood, celebrated the old gentleman’s eighty-sixth birthday last Sunday, although Mr. Moore’s birthday did not occur until yesterday. Mr. Moore is hale and hearty dispite his advanced vears and bids fair to celebrate several more. It is becoming so rare that there is any business in the mayor’s court that it is becoming somewhat of a novelty for anyone to face Mayor Gaffney when he appears at the citv hall. Yesterday morning, however, Bell Eskridge Nora Wilkins and Albert Wise were arraigned, charged with disorderly conduct. They were fined $5.00 each. The attraction at the Star Theatre tonight is “Brown’s in Town.” Brown is not a stranger in Gaffney, having ap peared in Gaffney several years ago. From the very favorable notices the com panv is receiving at the hands of the press in the cities where they have appeared, the play is up to its old excellence and a good attendance will doubtless greet Brown tonight at the theatre.

This association is a local institu tion, ofiicered by local business men, and no risk is run by the stockholders, as the officers who handle the finance are bonded in a reputable surety company. The association, although only a year old, has already become a factor in the upbuilding of Gaffney. It is a cap ital savings bank for a man working on a salary.
