Harper, of the Buford Street Methodist church. The members of the Gaffney brass band are endeavoring to raise funds sufficient to employ a competent In structor. In their efforts to this end, they deserve the support of every citizen of the town. The many friends of Prof, and Mrs. Harold A. Loring will regret to learn that Mr. Loring will i^ot he with Limestone College after this session, he having resigned to accept a similar position with Keox College Galfesburg. Ind. It would be only a wise man who would plant his garden in the moon. Some people think, that it would be the best to plant their garden in the moon because the ground is too wet^ The foolish man is afraid to risk his garden in the moon. The comic operatta “An Evening With Mother Goose and Her Child ren,’’ will be given in the auditorium of Limestone College on the evening of March 23rd under the auspices of the Griffith Literary Society. Tickets wil be on sale after March 18th. Mr*. George Garrett Byers was hostess for the first regular meeting of the Thimble Club on Friday after noon March 6th. Only two of the members were unable to be present and this care-free hour passed all too quickly in chatting and comparing embroidery - patterns. A most de lightful treat, quail on toast, with Its dainty accompaniment, was qprved by the hostess, the birds having been killed by her husband on the last hunt of the season. The four-act comedy drama, "The Banker’s Child,” will be presented for one night only at the Star Thea tre. Manager Harry Shannon prom ises one of the best productions of the season, and judging from the flat-, tering press reports at hand, every. promise will be fulfilled. The stag- j ing of the play Is sumptuous. Tons 1 of special scenery and electrical ef-j fects are carried. During the action 1 of the play a number of clever sing-; ing and dancing specialties will be In troduced. One of our good citizens has been wearing the same hat go long that the minds of the memebers of his family runneth not to the contrary. The aforesaid family recently made the presure so strong, that the citi zens finally yielded, and is now sport- | ing a new tile that is a joy to his : family and a source of much satis faction to his numerous friends. The i initials of the citizen’s name are I Rufus Littlejohn, and his appearance is so muchc Improved that his friends hardly recognize him.

Charming costumes are those worn j by little Hazel Shannon In “The Banker’s Child.” The following is a ; description of the costumes worn i during her specialty: Little Miss Hazel reminds one of a French doll in a lovely trained gown of pink satin brocade, elaborately trimmed with chiffon flouncing and pink tea roses. The gown closely re sembles Grace Van Studdlford’s cele brated train of orchids. Miss Ha zel’s second gown is a dainty toilette of green satin and lace studded with Jewels. These many beautiful costumers be sides the many worn by the other ladies in the company will prove a liberal education in the art of dress, and will be a treat to the many ladles as well as the wise men attending the performance of “The Banker’s Child,” who appreciate the beautiful.

The young ladies of Limestone Col lege will render the comic operetta “An Evening with Mother Goose and Her Children” on March 23rd. An admission fee will be charged for the benefit of the organ fund. A large crowd from the city should attend the entertainment. Messrs. J. Frank Carson and Wm. Dobson have rented the store room next door to the express office and will soon put in a stock of gents fur nishings. These gentlemen are both thoroughly reliable and will doubt less secure a liberal share 'of patro nage. Durham Bros, who are running a box bowling alley in the room for merly occupied by J- M. Nelson, have a couple of small monkeys In one of the windows which furnish a lot of amusement to the children by their playfulness. It Is Interesting to watch their antics and gambols. Manager Babhington, of the local telephone company, was in the city yesterday. Mr. Babbington announc ed that the company was preparing to string about 2,700 feet of cable along Limestone street. This move on the part of the telephone company will add much to the appearance of tbat thouroughfare. It wa^ reported on the streets of the city Wednesday that the negro Wash Smith, who was reported drowned in Buffalo creek had been found at the dam at Cherokee Falls with his throat cut. Upon Investiga tion, we found that the report was a fake. It Is passing strange how such a report could have originated.

After testimony and ar gument of H. K. Osborne. Esq., for the plaintiff. G. W. Speer, Esq., for the defendants and charge by the judge, the jury decided in favor of the plaintiff. Mayor Henry Ross is determined t to do all in his power to make of Gaffney a city beautiful. He has. i through the police force, notified every business house not tr. sweep paper out on the street and allow it remain there to he blown about by the wind. They must bum it up. There is no disposition to work a hardship on any one but a purpose to keep the streets neat and clean. Harry Shannon’s powerful comedy drama, ‘"The Banker’s Child,” will be presented at the Star Theatre for one night only. The story of the play is capltlvating. with a plot of intense Interest, rising at the end of each act with a climax of wonderful power. The comedy is bright and sparkling: the action terse, vivid and rapid. It is a play that touches the great chord of sympathy. Some very clever sing ing and dancing specialties will be in troduced. An officer from the South Carolina penitentiary came up from Columbia and carried Wm. H. Mills to tbat In stitution Wednesday to begin his term of life imprisonment. Mills killed Frank Deal at Blacksburg on March 23th, 1907. He was convicted of murder with recommendation to mercy at the June term following the killlnt- His case was taken to the supreme court and that tribunal afflmed the decision of the lower court a few days ago. Badly Hurt. Skayfe Bramlett and his friend, Sherwood Rogers, were out hunting Tuesday afternoon at Limestone. | They both sat down. Skayfe had a gun, holding the barrel to his face. 1 He started to get up and some wire | had become tangled up in the trigger j and the gun was discharged. A por-; tion of the load entered his face. Dr. Steedly was called to see him imme diately. The doctor has recovered half of the cartridge and he thinks the other half is behind his eye. We all wish for Skayfe a speedy re covery. “BILLIE MALONE” or anything else you like, but there is no safer investment than shares in the Peoples B. & L ‘ It pays good interest and your stock is never worth less than 100 cents on the dollar. fP'-'V, Third Series Opens April 11th 9 1908.
