The statement of the National

It is conducted by capable and con
servative business men who are ever
ready and anxious to serve their j
patrons.
The Merchants and Planters Bank
is one of the safe and sane institutions
of the community. Their statement
is published in another column and

face of the cry of business depression.
A Quiet Home Wedding Last Thurs
day Evening.
For som' time Dame Rumor ha*
been busy gossiping about the doings
of had little Cupid, as he toyed and
played with the heart strings of one
of Gaffney's staid business men and
one of the community’s most excell
ent women. Several times has it been
rumored that they were going to
plight their troth hut each time the
rumor proved false. Last Thursday
evening, however, this love affair was
brought to a nappy climax by Dr. A.
M. Simms, of the First Baptist church,
who, in his most impressive manner,
pronounced the words that made Mr.
Hampton Pridmore and Miss Sallle
Kendrick maa amd wife. The cere
mony took place at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Elmore LeMaster, on East
Frederick street. Only a few ralfe
lives and friends were present to wit
ness the ceremony.
The groom is one of Gaffney’s en
terprising and upright business men.
He is with the W. J. Wilkins Co., and
is a splendid citizen in every respect.
The bride is a most lovable lady.
She is a native ot this county and
has won scores of friends by her aim-
able disposition.
