Gaffney has long been regarded as i cltv of wonderful resources, a city where there’s “something doing” all the time, where the sensational is not only found but. if w e are to be lieve the great and only comments of our exchanges, it is a city where great news items are discovered. It is a city, however, that has legitimate news and not faked news and would not only found, but if we are to be were the item now in question a faked one; but none will dispute that the great question now is a real live lone ami one that is truly among the all wool and a yard wide variety. Turn the lights low and listen while we spin the tale. As every storv should start with the most important happening in it, we will first tell the news and that i^‘- Col. John M. Gaff-| ney is married. So we are told. Not that it is such a wonderful fact, nor! one to be marveled at, but the circum stances attending it are to be looked at, from every point of view. He is ho be praised for his act, for really! and truly Mr. Gaffney has gone about:! the matter that has been foolishly; looked upon as an affair of the heart and a Romeo and Juliet, affair, in a cold and matter of fact way, and has demonstrated that a “faint heart- never won fair lady,” and has shown his courage and demonstrated the effect- Uveness of his system to the complete satisfaction of all concerned. But we stray from the subject. The wiles of I the typewriter are mysterious and j none can tell where they will lead, i- 1 we resort to the. scissois in vj an att( . ni p( t (> tell what we mean to j say but experience some difficulty in expressing. The following clipping from the Spartanburg*Herald of the 14th throws much ligiit. on what the scribe has been for the last hour faintly trying to express to Ledger readers: "Col. John M. Gaffney of Gaffne- and Miss Amanda Stewart-, of Spring- field, Mo., were married at the Nor mandy Hotel yesterday morning by ! Magistrate R. B. P-aslay. The groom I is a well-known citizen of thd above named city, where he has resided fori the past fifty-seven years. The liride is a tail, well-dreissed, decorous look-i I ing person from Missouri.” The citizens of this city are now busily engaged in extending congratu-f j lationa-unto the the hannv bride and; Tits United States Leather Co. | r T“ : his successful capturing of the pirze.j We, like other mortals, hear tales and we beg to repeat one that reads] like “Buffalo Bill” and “Red Riding] Hood,” that we picked up at the news stand so far as heir" interest-1 ing is concerned. It is said by many; on our streets that in the ease of the 1 newly wed couple, just mentioned, it, was not, as is usually the case, love at first sight, but love before sight; and the ripening and full blossoming of love when sight had reached its ze nith and the two met. face to face. We 1 pronounce this easily the host kind of love, and congratulate the two on successfully “getting together,” if we will be allowed to resort to slang. It it said that the wooing was done on paper and that neither was aware 1 how the other should look until Soartanburg served as a meeting place for those seeking matrimony j and Gaffney, the renowned and cele brated Gaffney (we refer to the city- now) is again thrown in the limelight 1 and in the public eye, this time as a matrimonial centre. Buster Brown is not. a fairy; he has never been ac-; cused of being one. and he doets not claim this to be a fairy tale, hut a simple statement of startling facts,] nossibly colored slightly by a none too vivid imagination, but we must insist in ending the tale and puttir' a beautiful “finis” at the bottom something like the fairy tale style: “And they were married and lived happily ever after.” BUSTER BROWN. The Original Dixie Quartette. The original Dixie Quartette, who have sung themselves into fame and fortune, comprise four clever gentle^ men, who combine the very rape qual ities of singers and comedians, and who have for years stood at the head of high-class minstrel attractions. Their plaintive plantation melodies and popular ballads, interspersed with bright bits of comedy in their sketch of southern life, “Uncle Rufus’s Dream,” has made their reputation co-extensive with this country. There is no lover of real, refined minstrelsy but who enjoys their rare exhibition, as the repeated encores to which they are compelled to respond nightly is ample testimony. The Original Dixie Quartette is to be seen only with the Barlow & Wilson Minstrels at the A Lively Tussle with that old enemy of the race. Con stipatlon, often ends In Appendicitis.
