There are few more genial and lovable characters on earth than “Old Man Gus.” We wish he would take a notion to bring Miss Fannie and the little Folgers to Gaffney and make this their home. Gaffney needs such people to help her grow and prosper. Bert Andrus, the genial and hast- ling advance agent of Gentry Broa'. dog and pony show, was in the city Saturday arranging for his show to exhibit here Wednesday, September 16th. Mr. Andrus Is a clever gentle man and represents one of the very best traveling attractions. This will be Gentry Bros’, first visit to Gaff ney and we can unhesitatingly say they have a clever show that has a wide reputation. A Tragedy of the Road. While here last Saturday Mr. Bert Asdrus, the advance agent of Gentry Bros, show, had considerable busi ness with the "Old Man,” We were agreeably Impressed with his amiable disposition and very pleasant ad dress and the business was trans acted with pleasure and dispatch. It was because of his genial disposition that we became somewhat fond ol him and thus the keener the sorrow when we learned that while here he received a message announcing the death of his wife in Chicago. Mr. Audrus at once wired his friend and assistant, Mr. A. E. Diggs, of his mis fortune and told him he would leave at once for Chicago and for Mr. Diggs to take up the work where he had left off. Mr. Diggs arrived in Gaffney yesterday morning to carry on the work. And thus it is that while Gentry Bros. Show Is amusing thousands there is a broken cord and a depressed heart. This is one of the tragedies of the life of a showman. Did it Ever Happen to Yon? EVER SEND MONEY AWAY IN A LETTER AND HAVE \T LOST?

While engaged in the construction of an addition to a tenant house on his plantation last Saturday, Mr. Lawson Spake had the misfortune to fall and received severe injuries about the head and shoulders.

He Is a very heavy man and the fall of eight or nine feet caused the contact to be heavy and a great gash was cut In the back of the head. The scalp was laid open several inches, requiring four or five stitches. Mr. Spake bled profusely and lost consciousness for a while, but rallied and at last accounts was do ing as well as could be expected. His friends hope for a speedy re covery. A Change In Management.
