Mr. John Spen I eer will remain with the market. | The Ledger is indebted to Mr. Pra- l ter Smith, of the Goucher neighbor hood, for a line specimen of sweet potato. It was a very large one and we can testify to the quality being first class. Miss Ollie Dobson left Wednesday morning for Clinton where she goes to teach in the graded school, having accepted that position some time ago. Miss Oliie is quite a young teacher, having only graduated from Winthrop last June. There is no denying the fact that the advertising now being done by the National Rank of Gaffney and the Gaffney Savings Bank is of a high order. They are clearly written and convincing in argument. They ap- l>eal to the better judgment. They are worth reading and studying. Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Clary are re joicing over the arrival of twins at their home. One is a boy and ’tother a girl. This makes three children they have, not one of which is four teen months old. This is the proper kind of immigration—the kind that builds up America with good, study citizens. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Turner, who have been living in Gaffney several years, have moved to Shelby, N. C., where Mr. Turner has secured a good position. The Ledger regrets to part with Mr. and Mrs. Turner, as they we^s among our best friends. We wish them a prosperous stay in Cleve land’s capltol. County Supervisor Felix Lipscomb was out in the Macedonia neighbor hood Monday. He stopped at the home of Mr. Wm. Gardner where his attention was called to a long handled gourd. On being measured it was found to be three feet and ten inches from tip to tip. Mr. Lipscomb says there were not less than fifty gourds on this single vine. Prof. R. O. Sams is the most ad vanced horticulturist in Cherokee county. He has several acres of land about his place on which he has a larger variey of trees than anyone we know of. Yesterday he showed us a bunch of Japan walnuts which grew on one of his trees. There were about a dozen in the cluster. Prof. Sams has pecans, and fruits of all kinds. It’s a study to visit, his place and a delight to hear him tell of the different varieties of plant growth. A Birthday Party. Master “J. Q.,” son of Mr. and Mrs. T. Worth Little, celebrated his ninth birthday last Monday by tendering a party to his little friends at his home, corner of Johnson street and Rutledge avenue.

Simple enough—they commenced putting their spare coin in a bank and by constantly adding to it, they are now comfortably situated on the street we are all striving to reach. Merchants and Planters Bank, Gaffney, 5. C. Capilal, Surplus and Fronts S100,000 It I;. Easy Enuogh to Make Money ! But the trouble with a great majority of the people is to save it after they have made it. No person should li\ e beyond their income; they should not even live up to it. Whoever spends all they make will fill a pauper’s grave. No better way has ever been devised whereby a person can save money than through the building and loan plan. You not only save money but you make it, as every dollar you put in begins to earn you something at once. If you are paying rent, stop doing so by buy ing building and loan stock and become your own landlord. Hundreds of Gaffney people can testify how easily this is done. You live in your house while you are paying for it with the rent money you would be paying the landlord. The Farmers and Mechanics Building and Loan will start you on the road to ownership. We loan to the man who wants to buy either city or country property. Call at the office and see our Mr. Gibbs Pridmore, who will explain the plan in detail, or write him for information. Business transacted by mail or in person. Don’t put off this very im portant matter. New series opens October \ a" ics Building and Loan Assn. GAFFNEY, S. C. N. H. Littlejohn, President.
