The young lady students of the college are meeting with encourage ment in their effort, to raise three thousand dollars with which to pur chase a pipe organ for the audi torium, when the instrument is In stalled the auditorium of Limestone will compare favorably with that of other colleges. The Woman’s Club of Gaffney jumped on the editor of this paper like a thousand of brick because he gave credit to the town council of J3affney for certain work done on ^?aid park. Unless there Is some work done pretty soon there will be no danger of a like mistake being made. , Mr. Samuel Whelchel, who lives near Gaffney, was in town Friday and sold to Mr. B. G. Kuhne a nug- gett of gold which weighed 101 grains The nuggett w^s found on Mr. Whelchel’g place near the city, and who can say but that Mr. Whel- chel’s farm may not prove to be a veritable “El Darodo.” T. Irby Walker, of Summerton, ar rived In the city Saturday. He was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Ezell. Mrs. Walker and children have been here for several weeks. All left yes terday for Summerton.

Montgomery, of Spar tanburg, have offered to endow Limestone College in the sum of $20,- 000 provided Gaffney will give $10,- 000; it Is needless to say that Gftff- ney will embrace the liberal and philanthropic offer of these gentle men.

Brown, of Ravenna, one of the most extensive as well as on e of the most successful farmers of the county, told a Ledger man yesterday that the prospect for a good cotton crop in his section is the poorest in years.

Picnic at Irene Park. Irene park, with its flowers, lake, trees and pavilions, has seemed lonely and deserted for the past week, the attraction being at our historic Limestone College, until last Thursday evening the PhilaJthea class of the First Baptist church, gave a picnic. The picnic from start to finish was a complete success. Each member of the class was asked to Invite a young man and about thirty assembled at the park at 7:30. At 8:30 a most palatable and sump tions supper was spread, of which every one partook bountifully. After supper the young peo ple engaged in boat riding, strolling around the park, which was well illuminated with electric lights and last but not least, in confidential chats on the comfortable seats In the shadow of the pines. After wishing each and every one many happy returns of the day, the young people departed for their homes, with their hearts filled to overflow with resolutions to make the Phllathea class better and to use every endeavor toward mak ing all the undertakings of the class a success.

Consult Your Oku Best Interests The first thing to consider in establishing a banking connection is to select a bank that is absolutely safe.

It is on this ground that we solicit your banking business. The people connected with this institution are sound business men—your neighbors, whom you know all about. They will give you better service and accommodation than outsiders, because they are vitally interested in the success and progress of the community of which you are a part. Your deposit will be welcomed in this bank, as an indication of the in - creasing wealth of our neighborhood, and in addition to our efforts to supply our customers with the best banking service, will be an element of local patriotism, giv ing us a double motive for safeguarding your money and your interest.
