I Sarnatt at Goforth on Tuesday. Sev eral of the candidates for county offices were present and enlivened the occasion bv a few remarks. The merry-go-round has been indis- nosed for the past few days and on account of the incessant dog days showers has remained closed for sev eral days. Th^re are many among the youth of the city to whom this is a sad blow. Ben W. Clary left yesterday for Yorkville where he goes in the em ployment of L. Baker & Co. Hp will he connected with Mr. Baker’s plant for manufacturing cement blocks which is now located in that city. It I- engaged in manufacturing blocks for a handsome residence. The Ledger is indebted to its good friend Ed. Clary for a fine specimen of Clary’s Best cantelope. It was one of th<* largest and most delicious we have c een and tasted this season. Ed. is .one of Cherokee’s most popu lar and progressive planters and a friend of whom The Ledger is proud. Mr. John E. Armstrong, of Knox- vill-*, Tenn.. National Bank examin er, was in the city Monday. Mr. Armstrong examined the National Bank of Gaffnev and reported every thing in splendid, shape. Mr. Arm strong left immediately after com pleting his work here. He goes to Tennessee to continue examinations. Candidates on the streets of the city yesterday were conspicuous by their absence. The number of them could have been e^cily counted on the fingers of the armless wonder. Pondfleld, barbecue and heaps of vot ers was a congloremation none could withstand and they cheerfully obeved the call of the first camnaign meeting of the year. John Bridges, a former Gaffney hoy, has been here several weeks with a force of hands painting stacks chimneys, etc. Among those painted were the stacks of the Gaffney Manu facturing Company, the Limestone Mills, the Globe Manufacturing Com pany, the Victor Cotton Oil Company, the Scruggs Lumber Company, and others. There will be no preaching services at *’ Buford Street Methodist church next Sunday on account of the al»- ‘-•<mce of the Pastor. Rev. S. B. Har per. who is at Anderson visiting his father, who his been unwell for some time. Sunday school will be held at the usual hour. Mr. Harper will re turn for services on the second Sun day in this month. The Gaffney Jewelry Company will be ready for business about the 1st of September. E. L.

Robinson, the popular jeweler of Chester, and Will Thomson, formerly of this place, are connected with the business. It is confidently expected that this new firm will meet with success from tho beginning. > PISO’S CURE TJDR “Nothing doing.” This short but forceful sentence takes in the mayor’s court of yesterday morning in every detail. The reporter could see from afar that a hopeful plodding through rain ■and mud was to no avail so far as concerning a merrv morning with the mayor. The weather at the hour for court was dismal and the interior of the court chamber was lonesome as well as dismal and bleak, hence the reporter tarried hut a very short while in the precincts of justice. Limestone street just below the postoffice was an exciting througho- fare yesterday about noon. A horse and wagon, the property of J. VV. Ab bott. the furniture man. wis the chief cause for excitement with the horse verv much in evidence. Gaffney has not had a runaway for some time and naturally this one caused no little excitement. The runaway happily was not accompanied by any unfor tunate accidents, although one was narrowly averted, viz, a naan being run down by the speeding horse. The horse ran as far as the corner of O. S. Kendrick's store when it turned and was soon stopped. Ai incident causing not a little ex citement occurred on tho streets of Gaffney when a tarantula, the most poisonous species of the spider, was captured on Limestone street. The gentleman effecting the capture pre sented his capture to Mr. Floyd L. Biker, of The "B. B.” Store, who biased it in a fruit jar and was ex hibiting it to his friends. These in sects are forei or n to Gaffney and this one evidently found its way into the city by being brought in among some fruit, as it was discovered in front e f the fruit store of S. It. Suber. It measured five and a quarter inches from tip to tip, and gentlemen in the crowd who have r sided in Texas took occasion to remark that this was apparently ,a baby! Candidates for County Offices.
