Several lots of cotton were brought to the city Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. 0- H Robbins are now occupying their house oa Smith street. The singing at the Presbyterian church Sunday was better than usual. The choir sang old fashioned tunes. Ex-Postmaster George W. DePriest, of Shelby, N. C., is acting for Post master Hester during the latter's ab sence at the Republican convention. There is on exhibition at the mark et of Clary & Kirby a head of cab bage which weighs 10 3-4 pounds. It was raised by Mrs. M. H. Jefferies in her garden in the city. Mrs. pinhham, of the Lydia E. Pink ham Company of Lynn, Mass., togeth er with her son. Arthur W. Pinkham, and the younger members of her family, sailed for Naples on May 20th for a three months’ tour throughout Europe and a much needecT vacation. The pulpit of the First Baptist church was filled on Sunday by Dr. Charles Manly, of Lexington, Va., who delighted his large audience with a splendid discourse. Dr. Manly is one of the most distinguished men of his church. He was at one time president of Furman University. He is visiting his daughter, Mrs. Edward Watson, of this city. There was a big time at Corinth church Sunday, although the rain in terfered somewhat with the ejoyment of the occasion. There were two good talks in the forenoon by Prof. R. C. Sarratt and W. V. Humphries, and in the afternoon a good sermon by the pastor. There was a large crowd present and everything was carried out according to programme. A. M. McKay, representing the Business Magazine, published at Chattanooga. Tenn., spent yesterday in the city in the interest of his publi cation. The Business Magazine will have a write-up of Gaffney in a forth coming number. It is a monthly, de voted to the business of the South, advocating above all else the con sumption of Southern made goods by Southerners. A large crowd gathered at the hall ground Saturday to witness a game between Gaffney and Grassy Pond. Only three innings had been played, the score standing 3 to 1 in favor of Gaffney when rain stopped the game. It was apparent to The Ledger that Gaffney had her hands full and it would not have been a surprise if the game had terminated in favor of Grassy Pond had the game been played out. Rev. D- H. Whittenburg, colored, who lives in Smutsville, had the mis fortune to lose his house and nearly all of its contents by fire about 3 o’clock Friday morning. The origin of the fire is unknown. Rev. Whitten- burg said there had been no fire in the stove since 12 o’clock on the day previous. The fire alarm was not sounded for the reason that there be ing no 'phone in that section, the house was destroyed before the de partment could be notified. Rev. J. L. Harley, organizer of the Antt^aloon League of the State, fill ed the pulpit of the Buford Street Methodist church Sunday morning. Mr. Harley talked most interestingly on the subject of temperance, and gave a history of the wiskey question from the time when our forefathers used to manufacture their own whis key, and when every little grocery store was known as a “groggery,” up to the present. He showed himself to be thoroughly conversant with the whiskey question, and is evidently the right man in the right place. In the evening he spoke in the Cherokee Avenue Baptist church on the ‘‘Bread and butter side of the whiskey ques tion.” Monument Unveling. A monument was unveiled Sunday by the Woodmen of the World at Maftd, which was erected by the order to the memory of D. F. Phillips, de ceased. Col. T. B. Butler delivered the oration In the presence of a large crowd of Worifiinen and others. The colonel was at his best and this is sufficient guarantee that the oration was fine. THIKK MODE - SPEND LESS Godfrey-Pridmore. Mr. Tump Godfrey, son of Mr. Jim Godfrey and Miss Lucile Pridmore, daughter of Mr. S- G. Pridmore, both of Maud settlement gave their friends quite a surprise on Sunday afternoon when they drove to Rev. Ruppe’s home and were united in marriage. ^ hy is it that tho *tvera<fc man is worth so thoc les- in monoy and property than we have a right to expect him ^ to he? It isn’t because he doesn't make the money, for the average man i« industrious and lias earned from $10,000 to $30,000 in the 'jast ten years. It is because he doesn’t give much serious thought either to Iris iuconi" or his outgo. * Serious thought would teach him the true V ilue of a dollar; then he would spend carefully and save steadily. That system soon places any man ahead of his fellows. K J ONE CENT A WORD COLUMN AdvertlMmeata ud«r tkU k—4 is Mrrtod st the rats at ose east s word for eseh tssertioa.
