McArthur, Gen’l Mgr. • «•»••••• • • • • • • • STAR THEATRE. • • • “M v Wife's Family.” It Is seldom that a nlav meets with the universal endorsement of man agers. theatre-goers and the Press in general on Its Initial production, but an exception last season was that of “'MV Wife’s Family,” the combined efforts of two progressive and well known players. Hal Stephens and Harry Union. This merrv laugh pro ducer was an instantaneous hit play ing return dates in many cities by special requests. It. is in three acts filled with catchy musical numbers of original theme, while the comedy lines are all bright and new containing none of the hackneyed kind. The company presenting the com edy. interpreting the three acts of fun and music, it is one of the best entour. while the co turning stage, setting, ei-virical and mechanical effects are correct in detail. There are two dozen musical numbers, all of the whistling order, to be heard in “Mv Wife’s Family.” which will he presented here at the Star Theatre next Thursday night. Revival Services. The crowds that have attended the services in the First Baptist church to hear Rev. T. T. Martin expound the Bible, bear evidence of the power ♦ here is in the clear presentation of the word of God. Every night the house has been full. On Saturday night, a time when most people are busy, the house was packed to hear him talk on “When the lights go ou* on the road to hkli.’* On Sunday the house would not hold he people—many had to go away. His preaching is that of & man who is thoroughly conversant with the Bible and with general literature and when he takes a position he proves it. He has a fund of illu^traions that is apt and sometimes very touching. The people of Gaffney, re gardless of church connection, have been attending and we believe from what we hear business men of the town say. that the teacW-'" of Mr Martin is enjoyed bv the thinking people of the town and that more thinking and talking is being done by our people than has been known in Gaffney. The interest manifested, so far. has been among men and women, the c.ass of our people w f ho are moulding our life and to wlioni the town will have to look for future strength and well being. We hope the good work mav go on. f*'- It is of a kind that men apd wo men can appreciate and that makes for honest conviction and purltv of life. While it was announced on Sun day that Mr. Martin would probably leave on Thursday night It is now hoped that he can stav over Sunday, but of this, announcement will be made later. A number of men and ladies have made a confession of faith in Jesus Christ as their I»rd and Savior, while others, who w»-re church mem- hers, have had doubts removed. There is no pressure put on people, hut they have the wav of life and are urged to accept Christ. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.

Neighboring cities are preparing strenuously for a base hall campaign this summer, but as yet nothing has been done in Gaffnev for anv base ball, even in a mild form. Although league base ball Is Impossible, still It is easy if the neccessarv amount of interest is shown to have some excit ing and hotly contested games be tween Gaffnev and neighboring towns. The interest wrmld be greatly added to bv the fact that it is local and the great rivalry existing In everything is greatly added to In base ball. Steps should be taken to perfect sopie organization, to arrange some ama teur games, and secure the interest of those able to make a team from this city a formidable one. And the summer days, almost upon us. are long indeed without any amusements within the city. The materigj. for the team* and the interest to back it both exist and the necessary thing lacking is the man behind the gun. Gone to Lockhart. Mr. Wlill Anderson, the efficient Ixvokkeeper at the Gaffney Manufac turing company, has given up his posi tion there to take a position with the Lockhart Shoals mill. Mr. Anderson left weeb before last for his new home. Mr. Anderson came here from Blacksburg and won many friends here by his gentlemanly deportment. He is succeeded at the Gaffnev Manu facturing company by Mr. Stanyarne Little, who has for some time been bookkeeper at the Company store. Mr. Little is a good man and an effi cient bookkeeper. Schools Have Joint Picnic. Fairview and Limestone mill schools oined thf* children of Cherokee avenue school in a picnic at Lime stone springs last Saturday afternoon. Although none of the schools turned out in full, nearl- two hundred hap py faces met at Cherokee avenue school and baskets on arm and unches In tfaud. marched to tlhe dummy. After making the welkin ring for more than thr*-e hours, a table was spread under th« great trees around which the children were gathered in a circle. After a short talk by Revs. W. E. Crocker an.d G. P. Hamrick, the children were waited on to their hearts content. Th» children were then arranged on the slope of the ground in the form of three letters. “C. A. S.” sending for Cherokee avenue school. This, however, was in anticipation of the new school building that is to be built. In this position a photograph was taken. At half-past five o’clock all the children made a rush for the dummy and returned to Gaffnev where they were all sent to their homes. Be It said to the credit of the teach ers of these school, their work is greatly appreciated by the com munity.
