were married Friday, February 23rd
by Rev. E. G. Ross. Both of these

Barlow &* Wilson’s Greater New

the Star Theatre on Friday evening
March 16th, giving what the press
terms a thoroughly clean and whole

a very clever one and its personnel is
made up of a number of well known
burnt) cork and vaudeville performh
ers. A big feature is the noon-day
street parade, which is both new and
novel.
Dr. J. F. Garrett has moved into
his handsome new office on Fred

this nuw home the doctor has what
is, perhaps, on of the handsomest
dental parlors to be found in this sec
tion. Dr. Garrett is well and favor
ably known in and about Gaffney. He
is an old standby, so to speak: one
of the staid and stable business men
of the community, a man who by his
unassuming mam$er and gentle die-
meanor, has won the affections of all
who know Jiim. The Ledger wishes
him continued success.
A whitai boy about sixteen years
of age was before Mayor Gaffney
yesterday morning on the charge of
fighting. The scrapping sefmed to
have taken place at the Limestone
Street Methodist church on Friday
evening while services were in pro
gress. The scrap must have been a
warm one as rocks were bsought into
plav and one threatened to cut the
others head off with a knife. One of
of the combatants appeared, the other
forfeting his bond. The one present
was snown the evil effects of engag
ing in strife by a fine of $2.50.

too close communion with the city
court while others seemed very much
“in the hole.” The sequel to this
interesting (?) tale can be doubtless
read by a glance at the city treasury
or the chaingang.
