“Old Man Gu* M Folger, a former

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.

Mr. Lawson Spake Hurt.
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. Mr.
Spake was working on the top and
started to descend. He caught hold
of a joist, which turned, causing him
.to lose his hold and he fell, striking
his head on a floor beam below. 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.
Mr. C. G. Milham. who has been
manager of the Cemmercial Hotel for
some time, relinquishes the man-
agement today. He will be succeed
ed by Mr. Charles Dudley. Mr. Dud
ley is an experienced hotel man and
comes well recommended. He hails
from Charlotte, where he has been in
the hotel business. He was at one
time manager of the Buffalo Lick
Springs at Carlisle. S. C. Mr. Dudley
and family arrived in Gaffney yester
day. We welcome them as citizens
and trust their stay with us will be
both pleasant and profitable.
Mr. Milham, the former manager
of the Commercial, has made many
friends since coming to Gaffney. He
has not determined as yet what, ’he
will do but it is to be hoped that his
future business course will permit
I
him to remain in Gaffney.

The Gentry Bros. Shows.
That the public enjoy, and will
patronize a show that is thoroughly
clean in all its methods will be seen
Wednesday, September 16th when
the Gentry Bros, are billed to appear
for two performances. The amuse
ment loving part of the population in
this section of the country will support
an attraction that has merit, and at
the same time is carried on in a legi
timate manner, and it Is to this that
the Gentry Bros, owe all their suc
cess for the past twenty years, and
perhaps there is not a show upon
the road today, that is more highly
thought of. or one that receives a
warmer welcome wherever it is bill
ed to appear. This show will exhibit
at the bail park.
The Woodman Barbecue.
The barbecue under the auspices
of the Woodman of the World at
Corinth Friday was a splendid suc
cess. There was a large crowd pres
ent and the speaking was tip-top.
Everybody had a good time and
everybody has a good word for the
affair.
