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!

occupy the pulpit of the Presbyterian
church Sunday morning and evening.
Mr. Richardson has been called to
the pastorate' of this church but has
not yet reached a decision. He is an

fluence of the community. There
will be a special program of music

ability.
In the morning the subject will be
"Things AVe Know,” and in the eve
ning “Almost Persuaded.”
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral cer
tainly cures coughs, colds,
bronchitis, consumption. And
it certainly strengthens weak
throats and weak lungs.
There can be no mistake about
this. You know it is true. And
your own doctor will say so.
The best kind of a testimonial —
“Sold for over sixty years.”
