The Woman’s Missionary Union at Goucher last Saturday was a grand success and the well arranged pro gramme was carried out without a hitch. The meeting was called to order promptly at 10 o’clock and on Mrs. W. Sam Lipscomb’s absence Miss Addle Brown acted as president, to which office Miss Addle was elect ed during the meeting. Miss Ella Brown, who was chosen to deliver the opening address, did so in grace ful manner and her speech was pro nounced a feature of Saturday’s work. The committee arranging the speakers, certainly acted wise in se lecting Miss Ella. Miss Pettit, who was to have responded to Miss Brown’s address, was not present, so Mrs. J. C. Otts acted in her stead and made a beautiful speech. Miss Mattie Simms was, as usual, present in her chair as secretary. Miss Mathis, a missionary, now taking her vacation, from Greenville, added life to the meeting and although The Ledger correspondent was not pres ent, still we learned much about the meeting.

No person should live 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 countr v property. Call at the office and see our Mr. GibU Pridmore, who will explain the plan in detail, or write him for information.
