C., DUESDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1908. 91.50 A YEAR. / v TALMA6E SERMON MISSED BY READERS IMPORTANT AND COMMENDABLE FEATURE OF PAPER. I jAh Argument Against Them by Ignor ant People—Parties Booked for Holidays. Wilkinsville, D<yc. 22.—We are anx ious to see the publication of Talmage s sermons resumed. It’s our opinion that this has be f, n one of the most important and commendable features , of this paper during its long and use ful career. We miss those sermons so much from our Sabbath reading that the time often becomes dull and monotonous. We are aware that The Ledger procured these sermons at great expense but they have done a grat deal of good. ‘It’s surprising that such reading isn’t more attractive than it is with the.majority of people. Some people say Talmage’s sermons are too “high larnt” for common peo ple to understand—they contain too much history, etc. That’s very poor argument against them. It’s one of Satan’s most ingei-iously divised plans and affects the ignorant only. We can and do excuse ignorance in people who have never been taught better. But we can’t and don’t excuse it in those whose opportunities have been such as to learn better. “Where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise.” Several parties are booked for the holidays, but in order to have select company it’s being kept secret—by letting everybody know it. We like to see the young people have an en joyable time when the pleasures are of a legitimate kind. A list of Christ mas casualties will be in order and •form no small part of newspaper cor respondence after the season is over. Mr. Horace Garner and Miss Margaret Foster, both of Cherokee county, were married at Gilead church last Sabbath by Rev. W. T. Thomp son. Our best wishes attend them in their journey through life. We took dinner yesterday with the family of Mr. W. C. Blackwell, at Sunnyside. When we got home we found that Mrs. Blackwell had load ed our buggy with some fine “Nancy Hall” potatoes which was our first Christmas present. May she live long and her shadow never grow less. We hope the editor and the entire force of The Ledger (including the several correspondents) will likewise be substantially remembered by their friends. The rain last night has put the newly worked roads in an almost im passable condition. Mr. Tillet Hartford moved out yes terday. Ha is going to Spartanburg where he expects to run a dairy next year. If some people were as much inter ested in their own business and busi ness affairs as they are in those of their neighbors, they would have more of this world's goods to show as the result of diligence. Our old school teacher used to say that minding your own business and letting other people’s alone was the Eleventh Command ment. Several of our neighbors were ex pecting to go to Gaffney today to do their Christmas shopping. Turkeys, chickens and eggs have been hard to get this season. They are all high. We hope Bro. Ben Hope’s depart ment in The Ledger will be success ful and that he will get all the help and encouragement he deserves. Soloman was a wonderful man. Be sides his great wisdom he must have possessed on immense amount of patience, or at least that is the verdict of most men at the present day who can’t satisfy the whims of only one wife (particularly in getting all she wants for Christmas). If all of his one thousand women had drawn on his exchequer to lay up their “Christ mas tricks” we wouldn’t have been surprised to find him ending his days in the county poor house, or asylum for the insane. But fortunate for him he lived before "Santy Claus” days. One of our neighbors says he don’t like to dream of squirrels. If he does he will hear of a death soon. We take no stock in dreams. In speaking of them a very disting uished writer says: The midnight of the body is the delight of the soul. We have received the Congressional Records (daily) and have been trying to keep up with the proceedings of that body. One of the most Import ant, and to us, the most interesting debates in the house so far is that on Ms. Gordon Lee’s bill for the relief of the trustees of Damascus Baptist church, Gordon county, Georgia. This church was torn down and used by General Sherman’s army in making a pontoon bridge across the Oastanula river near Resoea, Ga., on Us march to the sea. Mr. Lee is a Georgian and if he takes anything after his illustrious namesakes—Gordon, I^ee,-—we shall look for the success of his bill. To the South this bill means much, especially to those sections which lay in the flry pathway of the armies. We shall watch its fate and note tWfe arguments pro and con. We believe his bill will pass. Merry Christmas and happy New Year to all. j. l. 8. Wilkinsville, Dec. 25.—Love, espe cially in women, has many strange freaks in it. Imagine, if you please, a girl desperately in love with a young man and intending to marry him whether or not.. She can wear a pair of shoe* two numbers too small and dance all night without firing, grunting or complain ing provided she gets the partner she wants. When collations are brought round to refresh the crowd she is too modest to eat more than the most insignifi cant measure of the dainties. She sips the conttnts of the punch bowl with a teaspoon as if deglution* was an irksome task and then she is ready and anxious for another set provided she gets the one she wants to dance with. If, in this she fails, she excuses herself with an air and dignity of a princess. When the opportunity comes she is looking for, she bounces to her feet and in less than no time she goes gyrating over the floor with the agility of a theatrical amateur— all the time eying the other girl with the fierceness of a Bengal tiger. She can scarcely keep her tongue within her teeth while another girl waltzes with the object of her affection. In this, time passes tideously and things become painfully monotonous—so much so that she apparently loses all interest in the occasibn and is ready •to move for adjournment. If the boy who she is fishing for is too stupid to read in her actions the lesson of warning he should learn she has her object about finished and is ready to march off with her conquest. By an adroitness known only to, and practiced by the most advanced spe cialists, she manages to put herself in his care for the homeward journey which she manages to make as long as possible, so far as time is concern ed. As soon as she separates with the object of her devotion and he re tires to have pleasant dreams of the time he is having—and what an ange- lie host he is the guest of. While lost to all consciousness and wrapt in the “arms of Morpheus,” the girl has her head stuck in the cupboard up to h* 1 *’ shoulders gnawing at a ham bone. She had lost all thought of the fastidi ous epicure she was wont to appear but a few hours before. Plenty of people besides blind beg gars have no visible means of sup port. The man who last Christmas spent all his money for “blind tiger” can give it to better institutions now. People may grow old gracefully but it takes them a long time to do so. In getting a husband a girl don’t always make a good selection for fear of getting left. We never know what some people think until all the world knows it first. We seldom realize what a cold world this is until things get too hot for us. Rev v Jonah Moorehead, colored, (blind Jonah) preached last Sabbath at Mount Tabor. His text was: Judges 11:35, “I have oppnd my mouth unto the Lord, and I cannot go back.” Jonah is an old time slavery man and is thought very well of by his white neighbors. He says he has a great deal of trouble in keeping the young race straight. The rain last Monday night and Tuesday put the streams out of their banks so that the mail couldn’t cross Tuesday or Wednesday. The Mesopotamia Sabbath school had a Christmas tree last Thursday at 2 o’clock p. m. The value of the presents on it was $25 besides a lot of outside contributiions. We have nothing but the kindest words of com mendation for this method of en couraging and substantially remem bering the little folks. We learn that Mr. and Mrs. George Vanderbilt and their little nine-year- old daughter, Cornelia Styvesan, in vited the 800 children on the Blltmore estate to attend a Christmas tree they had furnished with the best and cost liest presents for each one. The old saying is: “When you take the child by the hand you take the mother by the heart.” This Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt have no doubt long since found out. That the Vanderbilts are envied for their wealth and social standing there is no doubt. But that they are using it for the upbuilding and betterment' of their less fortunate countrymen can’t be denied. Such people and such wealth is a blessing to the com munity in which they live. We are told by those in position to know that the Vanderbilts are a plain common sense people notwith standing their immeuce wealth and the magnificent mansion in which tney live. It doesn't make fools of them. Also, we are told that when Mrs. Vanderbilt goes shopping she asks for the kind of goods she wants and tells the price she is willing to pay. She does not worry the mer chant by that annoying “Jewing” process so common with a great many people. The clerk can tell her in an instant whether or not he can fill the bill. She takes great Interest in the peo ple on the estate and mingles with them—visits them in their homes and as an incentive to tidiness and clean liness on their part makes these visits unannounced.. The result is they are prepared at any time to receive her. Not only this but she takes an In terest In the spiritual welfare of them and their farlilies. We know a wealthy lady who ex pends large sums of money to clothe poor children in order that she may see them at church and in the Sab bath school. She makes no great parade about It either. When she meets a little ragged boy or poorly dressed girl who gives as a reason for not attending church or school— want of suitable clothing—these are sent them and they perhaps never know who the benefactress is. The Christmas casualties are not all In yet. Next week they will be ready no doubt. Next year we hope to give our read ers at least one letter per week. We feel that we have used more than our share of The ledger space which it has so gracefully provided for corres pondents. There are others we 'want to hear more from and who we think can make it more interesting to the readers. r j. l. 8. SHORT NEWS ITEMS OF LOCAL INTEREST, EVENTS IN GAFFNEY AND CHER OKEE. Recent Happenings In and Around the City and Other Events Gath ered by the Local News Editor. There was a skift of snow in Gaff ney Thursday evening. * Mr. W. H. Johnson, an enterprising farmer of the Antioch section, killed a hog last week that weighed 488 pounds net. The board of deacons of the Chero kee Avenue Baptist church remem bered their pastor, Rev. G. P. Ham rick, with a nice present. The Ledger is indebted to Mr. R. J. Kirby for a sample of his seed corn Mr. Kirby is one of Cherokee’s pro gressive planters. He believes in the “raising home supplies” plan of farm ing, which is the best evidence of his ability to farm. The directors of the National Bank of Gaffney met last week and declared the regular semi-annual 6 per cent di vidend to be paid January 1st. This bank is presided over by Mr. D. C. Ross, while Mr. Maynard Smyth is the obliging and efficient cashier. The directors of the Merchants and Planters Bank met last week and de clared a 4 per cent semi-annual divi dend, payable January 1st. Mr. C. M. Smith is the presiding officer of this hank;'while Mr. R. S. Lipscomb is the accommodating and worthy cashier. At the First Baptist Church. Rev. Arch C. Cree, late of Nashville, formerly pastor of the First Baptist church, occupied the pulpit of that church Sunday morning. He preach ed an interesting sermon from Luke 19:13: “And he called his ten ser vants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy until I come.” The speaker took the liberty to translate the text to “Do business until I come.” The theme was “Do ing business for the Lord.” The ser mon was full of practical suggestions, and the speaker laid special emphasis on the most valuable asset of the Christian, which was prayer. . In the evening the pulpit of this church was occupied by Rev. Amos Clary, a Cherokee county boy, who now holds an important position with the Religious Herald, of Richmond. Mr. Clary chose as his text Luke 10:10: “I come that they might have fife, and that they might have it more abundantly.” The theme w’a^ “The higher life.” During the discourse the speaker dwelt upon five different phases of the Christian life, illustrat ing his remarks with simply yet suf- ficiently seasonable illustrations, show ing the importance of developing the Christian life as well as plant life. He closed by declaring that this life was made to order for mankind and that it was the only life. The music on both occasions was splendid, especially so in the morning, as on this occasion Mrs. George Gar rett Byers and Mrs. Arch C. Cree, for mer members of the choir, assisted. Prof. Henry Foote Perrin, director of music at Limestone College, perform ed on the organ in the absence of Mrs. W. Harry Gooding, the regular organist, and his work was beyond criticism. In the evening he deligh*- od (he congregation with several very difficult but beautiful solos. I All the mills of the city resumed operations yesterday morning. As a general proposition the help enjoyed a delightful holiday, conducted them selves in a most creditable manner and returned to their labors a happy, contented people. What more could anyone wish? Superintendent Ed. R. Cash, of the Limestone and Hamrick Mills, pre sented each of the operatives of these two mills with a Christmas present, and he, in return, was remembered by the operatives. All the overseers also received remembrances of the glad times. Mrs. C. L. McGuinn entertained a few of her friends Christmas day. The guests were: Mrs. Mollie Haw kins, Mrs. Robert Kirby, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Byers, Mrs. Nannie Gettys and daughter, Miss Carrie and Miss Cal- donia Byers. The table was loaded with everything that was nice. A particularly sad death occurred in this city Thursday afternoon when the two-year-old child of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Brown was choked to death from a peanut hull becoming lodged in its windpipe. The child was eating peanuts when one of the hulls was lodged in its windpibe, its death oc- curing a few minutes after. Melvin Edwards, Wash Deal and Bob Hatchford, thre dusky sports, were before ’Squire Bridges yester day morning on the charge of gam bling in the woods on the Sabbath They all plead guilty and were sen tenced to pay ’a fine of $10 each or serve thirty day with Mr. Lipscomb’s good road crew. They paid4he ten. At a meeting of the directors of the Limestone Mills held Tuesday of last week a 5 per cent semi-annual divi dend, payable January first, was de clared. The Limestone Mill has made a most creditable showing for. the past, six months. It is under the care ful and capafble management of Dr. W. C. Hamrick, while Mr. E. R. Cash is the efficient superintendent. The fire alarm was sounded Thurs day morning and for some time there was considerable confusion in the minds of a part of the populace as to the location of the fire.- Some one had built too large a fire in a stove in one of the rooms of the Parish Hotel, causing a conflagration. About twenty- five dollars damage was done before the flames were extinguished. The residence of Mr. W. N. Turner, in the southwestern part of the city, was entirely destroyed by fire Friday afternoon. Mr. Turner had only re cently erected the residence, which Dog Gives Life for a Boy. Quinton, Va.—A few miles from this place is a family—father, mother and six children, all of whom owe their happiness to a faithful dog. While the little four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. McAlster was out Saturday looking for flowers and strawberries, followed by a faithful setter, the little boy fell into a stream of water and would have been drown ed but for the faithful dog’s seeing the child struggling. The dog soon had hold of the waist of the little boy and swam ashore. Then the dog ran home wet and foaming at the mouth. It ran to its mistress and began to pull her dress. Her screams brought the husband, who, seeing the actions of the dog, thought it had hydrophobia. The dog was struck over the head with a club and left for dead. Then -j'came thoughts of the absent child. All went to look for the son. Over a half a mile from home they heard the cries of the lost child as it called for his mamma. When the grief-stricken parents got to the child there was poor Leo, the faithful setter, by the side of the lit tle boy. Though dead, his teeth were clinched to the dress of the child, thus keeping it from the water, while the blood from the woun<\ of the faith ful dog bespattered the dress of the child. THE UTEST NEWS FROM BUCKSBURB DOINGS OF THE PEOPLE IN OUR SISTER CITY. Brief News Notes and Personal Para* “Iron graphs Gathered by City” Correspondent.
