Agent Osborne, of the Southern has received a telegram from Knox ville, Tenn., to the effect that a man w as killed at that place as the result of an accident, who was supposed to be Henry McCullough.

Garnet Martin is building a dwell ing on Buford street near his place of business which he will occupy as soon ag it is completed. The many friends of Mr. J. A. Ma son will be glad to learn that he Is rapidly recovering from his recent injury. Wte hope to soon see him on the streets again. The little babe which was left with the negro woman, Lou Falls, some weeks ago, and afterwards taken by its mother, died Saturday night and wag buried Sunday. Floyd Ross has accepted a position with J. G. Bramlet. Mr. Ross is a son of Lem Ross. He is a chip off the old block and will make his em ployer a valuable man. « B. O. Turner is placing lumber on the ground preparatory to erecting a dwelling on Buford street. Mr. Turner will move to the city when his house is finished. The Furman Glee Club made a tour of the streets Friday in Mr. Wheat’s auto-trucb and attracted quite a lot of attention. It was a good advertisement for the boys. It is refreshing to pause and take a look at the store window of Carroll ft Byers. The display is always worth a look, as the arrangements are always in the very best taste. Chief of Police T. H. Lockhart, as a result of information received from the authorities of Cowpens, arrested a negro named Littlejohn, from that place yesterday. He Is charged with housebreaking. Rev. George Ratchford preached at the Presbyterian church Sunday. There was a large congregation pre sent and the young divine preached a sermon which was much enjoyed by all his hearers. Hon. J. Q. Little has recently pur chased a new vehicle in which he purposes to take his friends to ride. It has rubber tires, and teel spokes, and has the appearance of being a splendid piece of work. The Gaffney Manufacturing Com pany has closed down tor a week for the purpose of overhauling the ma chinery. The report that the mill has shut down Indefinitely Is entirely without foundation.

The prices are 25c, 35c, 50c and 75c. Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Johnson return ed last Friday from Lancaster where they attended the wedding of Miss Lillian Gregory to Mr. Stoney Drake, both of Lancaster.

Mr. Ross toob charge of the affairs of the company officially Saturday af ternoon, and will dispose of the stock with all convenient speed. Col. Walter H. Geer Is responsi ble for the statement that after next Sunday, the people of Gaffney may confidently expect the State news paper to arrive on No. 37, Ss on that date a schedule will go into effect by which we will always get the paper on that train. J. C. Otts, Esq., has been conduct ing a reference, and the testimony taken will make something like one hundred pages, two thirds of which is clearly in competent. This is not the fault of the Referee however, as the order of reference ^prescribed that he should only take the testi mony. w There has been practically no sweet potatoes on this market for some weeks. Mr. B. G. CUfry. of Clary ft Kirby, went to the mountains of North Carolina last Thursday and purchased one hundred bushels of fine The program rendered by the Fur man Glee Club at Limestone College on last Friday evening was a decided success. The boys sang well together and we might add that some of the voices would be a credit to a club of professionals. Everyone present seemed to enjoy the ocassion very much. Attention is directed to the real estate advertisement of S. L. Fort in this issue. Mr. Fort is going to sell at public eutcry a number of desir able building lots, situate in a grow ing section of the city. The sale takes place Saturday, April 25th at 1:30 on the premises. This is a golden op portunity to get a building lot at your own price. The house of Mr. C. H. Robbins which we mentioned in our last issue as being ‘‘stuck’'- at the intersection 0; Frederick and Limestone streets, has at length been gotten away from that point and is now being rapidly moved down Limestone street.
