Victor Cotton Oil Co. CUPID IN GAFFNEY. Dr. R. C. Garland and Mias Eunice Johnson Joined for Life. Dr. R. C. Garland and Miss Eunice Johnson, both of this city, consum mated a long and happy courtship Tuesday night by joining their hands and lives in still happier marriage The nuptial ceremony was perform ed in a gracious and impressive man ner at 10:30 o’clock at the beautiful residence of the bride’s parents on Limestone street, by Rev. S. B. Har per. the popular pastor of the Buford Street Methodist church. Though it was generally known that the doctor had been paying court: to Miss John son for some little time, and their marriage was. therefore, expected; still the news came rather in the na- vure of a surprise to their friends in the city, only a select few of their most intimate ones being “let in” to the secrpc and invited to be present on the joyous occasion, to witness their happy transformation from single to double blessedness. Dr. Garland is the urbane and effi cient Pharmacia: at Dr. S. B. Craw ley & Company’s drug store, who, by his genial disposition and polite, courteous and gentlemanly demeanor to all with whom he came in contact, has made himself popular wfth all Gaffney people, and even throughout the county. His fair bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. M 1 . Johnson, of this city,—Mr. John son being proprietor of the Gaffney Live Stock Company, one of the prominent business enterprises of the city. She is a lovely blonde, striking ly handsome in appearance, of win ning ways, sunny disposition and pos sessing in a marked degree all the graces of heart, mind and person which characterize the fairest and sweetest of all earth’s creatures—a lovely woman, and which tend to make her a favorite with all with whom she associates. Thus, the friends of this popular young couple are many and warm, and they start oifc in their new life with a world of good wishes clustering around them —all for their health, happiness and prosperity during all the years they may be permitted to travel life’s pathway together. Dr. and Mrs. Garland left on the Southern’s northbound passenger train No. 40, for an extended bridal trip before returning to Gaffney, at which place they will continue to re side. The close friends who witness ed the nuptials and accompanied the couple to the depot, were Dr. J. T. Darwin and Mr. Henry Drummond, of this city, and Miss Janie Johnson, of Lancaster. There were also pres ent the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Johnson, and her sister and brother, Miss Louise Johnson and Mr. Robert E. Johnson. The Ledger joins in extending congratulations to the fortunate groom, and wishes for him and his fair bride all the good things that this life can give them. Committed to Jail. Last Monday Magistrate B. F. Camp committed James Dawkins and Will McBrayer, two negroes, to jail to await trial on the charge of at tempting to break jail. Last August these negroes attempted to over power Deputy Sheriff Henry Lock hart and escape from jail. At that time they were in jail on charge of misdemeanors for which they were convicted at the fall term of court and were given three months each. They had just completed their sen tence when they were arrested on the charge of assaulting the officer. They were unable to give a $300 bond each and were commuted to jail. THE YHIMBLE CLUB. Its Object, “A Good Time," is Fully Exemplified. A little less than a year ago the Thimble Club held its first meeting and declared as its sole purpose the having of a “good time.” These good times have occurred at regular inter vals since then and have been so en joyable that no member willingly missed a meeting, and the very name has become synonomous with pleasure. On Tuesday evening, January 26th, 1909, the best of all the good times was a reception given by the club members to their husbands. The night was perfect and the beautiful and hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Lipscomb, the setting for this lovely affair, was never more attract ive than on this occasion. The whole of the lower floor was en suite and the decorations were in most exqui site taste, the reception hall, parlor and drawing room having a simple arrangement of trailing ivy and palms and ferns. In the dining-room violets were daintily used, the lovely center- piece of cluny lace being strewn with these flowers which are typical of all the charms most lovely in woman hood. Everywhere bright lights and laughing voices together with the ease of informality made the affair most en joyable and it will be long remember ed by all present. Tables were cosily placed in the various rooms and those fond of games found a pleasant pas time here. At intervals during the evening the guests were treated to a piano solo by Miss Marion Cole, a reading by Mrs. Nesbitt and a vocal solo by Mrs. Geo. Byers, which it is needless to say were much enjoyed. Miss Cole also passed the favors, dainty cards of pen and ink work, with a souvenir thimble attached which it is hoped (?) the men will all learn to use. A delicious £hree- course menu was served, a salad course and a sweet course, topped by coffee and wafers. Over this latter they lingered chatting merrily, un conscious that the hours had flown so swiftly. From the stair landing in the rear hall the string instru ments had given selections dear to all hearts, such as "Suwannee River and now the notes of “Home, Sweet Home,” reminded all that “the sweet en hour is soonest fled.” Here’s to our husbands: May we always be their sweethearts!
