Little Emma Ellen, the two-months- old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Will Horn who live near the city, died Saturday night and was hurried at Oakland cemetery Sundav afternoon. Boyce Gaffney, a well known young man of the city, has been unfortunate enough to break his leg while engaged in wrestling. The youno- man is do- in- as well as could be expected. J. F. Fincfcen, Gaffney’s popular Frederick street merchant, was unfor tunate enough to lose a good horse on Thursday night The cause as signed for the death of the horse is not known. The barbecue at Sarratt’s store today will be an event largely attend ed from this city and throughout the county. All the county candidates •are expected to be present and make speeches. The building on Limestone street next the Gaffnev Hardware company, where a restaurant formerly existed, is now being utilized by the Gaffney Hardware company as a store house for buggies. A case of disorderly conduct ap- "e<i red against Joe Binson in the city court yesterday morning, but as that •person failed to put in an appear ance his bond was declared for feited. Revival services commenced at Draytonville church yesterday morn ing. and will continue throughout thiff week. These services are being received with a hearty welcome and will no doubt be productive of much good. Work on the handsome residence of Mr. J. H. Turner, on Johnson street, is progressing nicely and on comple tion will be one of the most beautiful In the city. The house is being con structed of the new building material —hollow concrete blocks. A young white boy of the city who was arrested a short while ago by a constable on a charge of steal ing watermelons but who was able to make his escape, has been recaptured and lodged in jail. The arrest was made by Deputy Sheriff W. C. Dur ham. A case against Jim Miller in con nection with the closing of a road at Jefferies baseball park was not tried in the city court yesterday, but was indefinitely continued. No action can be taken in this oase until an in junction in connection with the same matter is disposed of. The announcement appearing in the columns of The Ledger Tuesday of a baseball game today between Gaffney and Woodruff was an error and was not Inserted by a Ledger reporter. Negotiations are on foot fo* a game between these two teams but the date is not yet decided‘upon. Yesterday L. Baker sent his con crete block making machine to York* ville. where he has the contract for building a handsome dwelling house for Mr. O .E. Wilkins out of these blocks. Concrete blocks for building material is becoming very popular in this section, and buildings erected of this material are handsome and durable. Mr. R. E. Connally. General organ izer of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, will address an open meeting of the local unions at the Woodmen hall at 8.30 o’clock Tuesday evening, July 31. All members of the union and all carpenters and friends of the working man and the public are cordially Invited to attend. On account of the absence from the citv of Rev. S. B. Harper, of Buford Street Methodist church, and Dr. A. M. Simms, of the First Baptist church, there were no nfeaching services at either church Sunday, morning nor evening. Members from the two con gregations joined in with the Presby terians and were greeted with two excellent sermons bv Pastor R. T. Lis ton. of that church. Mr. Oscar Shanks, of the Dravo Contracting Company, has rented the residence of Mr. J. I. Sarratt and with hi 8 family is now occupying it. Mr. Shanks is the voung man charge of the development work at Gaston Shoals where the work of so much ijpportance is being done, and already bv his short residence in Gaffney has m?de numerous friends who will wel come his family to the city. The board at the Southern depot for telling when that company’s trains might be expected, resembled a map of the world Sunday, with figures and words of explanation thrown in all ov~ it. tl seems that every train wa» hours and hours late. No. 11, the local, created great excitement when it pulled in on time. No. 35. known as the midnight train, could almost be cessed as the midday train on Sun- day. L. Baker has a foro^ of hands at work at Gilkey, N. C.. erecting a pret ty church at that place. Solon Scog gins. of this city, is in charge of the work. Mr. Baker also has the con tract for a handsome brick church to be built at Grover. Brick is being made and the work will soon com mence.

The special sale at Carroll & Byers’, which has been in progress for sev eral days, has been so successful that they have decided to continue this sale until Saturday, August 4th. To show the efficacy and far-reaching effects of Ledger advertising it jnight b' well to state here that Messrs. Carroll & Byers say that they have gotten better results from their ad vertisements of this sale in The Led ger than any advertisement in their history. The moral is: Put your ad. where it will, be read by the people. Thursday was a day in Gaffney made merry by the negroes through out the day. The day was decidedly a big day. Many features too .numer ous to mention were in evidence, but the feature of the dav was the base ball game in the afternoon. Gastonia was on the grounds to com pete with Gaffney for honors of the day which, after a fierce struggle, were awarded to Gaffney. Ten in nings were necessary to decide the result. Gaffney finally pushed a run across the rubber, making the score 4 to 3 in favor of the looal sluggers. The Isaac Turner Furniture Compa ny have let the contract for their new buildinc on Limestone st;V±et, near the store of the Gaffney Manu facturing company. The plans call for a handsome looking building, 40x90 feet, two stories and basement, costing $7,000. Mr. L. Baker has the contract for this building. MaterM has also been ordered for anotner store room for Dr. W. L. Settlemyer, adjoining the Isaac Turner new build ing on one side and the Settlemyer building in which the ten T *in alley was recently located, on the other. Rumors of several other new store buildings in the city show the steady growth of progressive Gaffney. Perry Little, colored, who has con ducted a restaurant in the room just in rear of the Merchants and Plant ers Bank, is moving into the rooms recently occupied by the Merchants Grocery company. Perry used to be a printer and was editor, manager and type-setting machine on the Gaffney Sun, which went behind the clouds several months ago and has never aeiain arisen. Cash remittances for the pleasure of patronizing the Sun were so few and far between that Perry oftimes had not the wherewith to purchase his stew beef and bis cuit; so he abandoned the printing field and entered a business where he can always gaze with rapture on the viands that satisfies the inner man. >y»yyg I 14 A PAY DAY SUGGESTION. ♦i If you put aside a part of your wages each pay day, you are paving the way to independence.
