She had a parrot that swore, a monkey that chewed tobacco and a cat that went out nights. But the old maid needed a Bank and YOU need one. Try T/ie National Bank progressive, commercial, con ducted along modern as well as conservative lines. National Bank of Gaffney >0 ■. Gaffney, S. C. Don’t be a Miser DON’T starve yourself and your family and boast of your bank account. DON’T wear second hand, thread bare clothes and hoard your earnings in an old tea urn. DON’T sit with chattering teeth at a cold stove in zero weather and invest your earnings in a “get rich quick” proposition. Be a Mon and Not a Mouse Be particular that yourself and your family are well fed, decently clothed and comfortably housed. Then, if any balance remains from your income or salary, deposit it in The Gaffney Savings Bank where it will earn four per cent, interest com pounded four times a year.

There have been no sinners before Mayor Ross this week. This speaks well for the good behavior of Gaff ney. ‘ Wash She to Blame?" is the work of a master hand. It tempts the tear to fall upon the lip of laugh ter. At the Star Theatre, one night only, Monday, November 16th. Mr. A. L. Fortenberry, who has been working at Wylam, Ala., for Stewart Brothers, has returned from that place and gone to Thermal City, N. C., where he will engage in the same kind of work. Master Jake Kendrick, of this city, is a delegate to the convention of the Royal Ambassadors, which meets in Charleston this week. Among all the delegates there will hardly be one brighter than our own little sunny natured Jake. The Voting Contoat. Interest in The Ledger’s voting contest is increasing every day and the indications are that there will be a lively contest before the close. As yet there are but five contestants for the two prizes. There should at least be two from each of the seven mills in the county. The time is getting short, as only about five weeks re main until the close. Yesterday morning the vote stood as follows: Rossa Alexander (Irene Mill) .. 416 Arthur Fortenberry (Irene Mills) 344 Miss Watola Roberts (Cherokee Falls) 311 Miss Quillie McCraw (Gaffney Mfg. Company) 300 W. W. Hardin (Gaffney Mfg Co.) 77 Mr. Barlow Cash, one of thd most popular mill men in Cherokee coun ty, who holds a position with the Limestone Mills, says he is going to enter the contest and that he means to carry that Howard gold watch. The contest is open to any lady or gentleman who is connected with the mechanical departmnet of a mill, and the prizes are worth going after. One is on exhibition at the store of the Gaffney Jewelry Co. and the other at T. H. Westrope’s. Gaffney Poultry Wins Prizes. Gaffney poultrymen were very much in evidence at the Spartanburg county fair last week. Mr. E. R. ('ash’s Rhode Island Reds took prizes as follows. Second cock 50 cents; first pullet, $1; second pullet, 50 cents; first pen $2. Mr. T. S. Bailey’s Rhode Island Reds took prizes as follows: First cock, $1; second pullet, 50 cents; first pen, $1; third pullet, rib bon. Both Mr. Cash and Mr. Bailey are enthusiastic poultrymen and thetr friends in Gaffney are congratulating them upon their success as prize win ners. Raising Cattle. Mr. Sam J. Strain, of Wilkinsville, ments to agree. The first faculty concert of the sea son at Limestone College will take place on the evening of November 23rd. The program will consist of musical numbers by Prof. Perrin, as sisted by Misses Higley and Dew. A full announcement will be Tuesday’s Ledger. made In raise cattl e- The Ledger was a little previous In announcing the departure of Mr. Ed. Ezell’s family. Mr. Ezell has gone to Summerton but the family will not go until December 1st. We were in no hurry to get them off, the truth is we regret they are to go at all, and we only gave circulation to a rumor that they had accompanied Mr. Ezell. For purity and grandeur, “Was She to Blame?” has not an equal.. The comedy is bright and sparkling, which causes the most sober minded to burst into laughter. A play never to be forgotten; sweethearts, hus bands and wives, children; all should see it. A lesson (with two hours of solid amusement) to the old and young. At the Star Theatre, Monday night.

Huskey, one of the best known and most popular men in the county, who has been spending some time with relatives in Texas, returned to his native heath last week. Mr. Huskey is enthusiastic about the great wide west but says there is no place like Cherokee. He has come home to stay and will very properly devote his time and ener gies towards teaching the young idea how to shoot. Will Move to Gaffney. The Ledger is pleased to be able to announce that Gaffney is soon to have a new resident in the person of Mr. James P. Jenkins, of Grover. Mr. Jenkins will shortly move his family to this place, and will occupy his beautiful suburban home in West End. Mr. Jenkins already owns con- metto House, has made some impor- j siderable real estate in and about tant improvements in his hotel. The ; Gaffney.

This is one of the very best $1 i 1 — ' hotels to be found in the Soufh and Mr. Dempsey is getting his share of the business. A jug of whiskey which was being transported by the Southern Ex press Company, got broke at the Southern depot yesterday morning, and there was some fun. The usual crowd of loafing darkies were around and they made haste to get some kind of a vessel in which to catch the wasting “Oh, be joyful.” “Scooter” secured the coal scuttle and when seen by a Ledger man he had on about as much as the law allows in a prohibition town. It’s really amus ing to watch the darkles when a jog becomes disabled at the depot. Mr. M. W. Howard, of Spartanburg, addressed a packed house at the Limestone Street Methodist church last Monday night on Epworth League work. Mr. HowajE is the traveling representative of a popular brand of shoes but finds time whenever op portunity is given to throw the weight of his strong personality on the side of the great young people’s movement. He is enthusiastic in all lines of church work, being a stewart in Bethel Church In Spartanburg. The Buford Street League attended the meeting in a body and many from the city generally. For several days a young man has been stationed on Frederick street, near Limestone, in fact on the corner, taking the pictures of those who de sired to their their likeness struck and put in a “gold" piii'. His custo mers consisted of both whi*e and colored people. Yesterday morning a colored woman posed for the artist. It was a picture fit for the gods. Capt. Jim Bell, who wa» watching the performance from the Cherokee Drug Co., was so impressed" W.th the scene that he became emotional ana exclaimed, “My God! I’d give half what I am worth—eight million dol lars—if I could be as satisfied as that nigger looks to be!" Then tell him about Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. Tell him how it cured yourhard cough.
