CHEROKEE-Gafney Ledger, No.
VENEER II: Harper Floyd, a good
citizen of the Jonesville section, in
Union county, has built him hand
some residence on his property on the
Mill, Gap road, in the western part of
the city, and will move his family into
it in a short time. ......."Mr. w. T. Nc
Arthur, of Chickasaw county, Miss,
and Miss Sally Jeferies, of this city,
were married on the evening of the
18th instant at the Methodist parson-
age in this city by Rev. T. M. Dent.
Mr.. Macarthur is son of Hon. Joseph
Macarthur, of Mississippi, who was
born and raised in this section and
whose popularity at his old home
would give his son an entrance to all
that is good in GaHney if he had been
unknown. But Thad is well-known
here, having been pupil of the Gaff.
ney Male and Female institute some
years ago. ...'.'"".Before the erection of
cotton mills in this section, Gaffhey
received and shipped from 1000 to
10000 bales of cotton every season.
Up to this time, this season, about
5000 bales have been sold here, every
bale of which has been bought by the
local and nearby mills. We doubt if a
bale of cotton grown in Cherokee
county is manufactured more than 20
miles from the field it is grown in. $3.50
People in Cherokee are sowing oats as
we'll as wheat. They are also careful
in the preparation of the soil for their
crop, and are using fertilizers freely.
A very few acres we'll cared for and
seeded to oats will feed work animal
year, and very much better, too, than
the few hands full of light western corn
and hay that some Cherokee horses
have lived on 80 poorly, so long. ''''''
Last Saturday night one of the front
windows of A. j. Settlemeyer's store
was broken by someone throwing a
stone against it; but the opening made
was too small to admit the burglar and
no attempt was made 10 enter the
house. On Sunday night, at 2 o'clock
a. M, a big plate glass in the front OF
the store of the Gaffney Manufacturing
company was broken out in the same
way. But this time Mr.. Robert Mum
70, who was sleeping in the store,
awoke, and as the burglars ran off he
shot at them twice. The night was
very dark, and it is not likely that
Mr.. Munro's shots were effective.
CHESTER-The Lantern, Novem-
ber 18: Congressman Elect Finley
was in the city last night returning
from Columbia. ..''''..Mrs. H. II. Beard
and daughter, Carrie, of Yorkville !;
Misses Buena Wood and Edna Owen,
Mrs. J. B. Heath and Master Whitfield
Creed, of Rock Hill Mr.. F. L..Wood, {,
of Augusta, Ga, and Mr.. Charlie F.
Wood, of Charlotte, N. c., were in at
tendance at the Perkins s-Wood mar.
riage. REV. J. S. Mills, wellknown
native of this county, now pastor OF
the A. R. P. church in Louisville, Ca,
spent two or three days after synod
visiting the scenes and friends of his
boyhood. He left last night for his
home. ......."The Chester Mills were
offered for sale yesterday at an upset
price of 100000. There were no bid
ders. 1t will be necessary to get an
other order of court, and the result OF
yesterdays effort indicates that a
lower price will have to be named.
We trust that no time will be lost in
getting the institution in shape to
utilize its plant. Rev. ]. H. Simp-
son, superintendent of the Hickory
Grove orphanage, has been in the city
since the adjournment of synod, but
has now returned to his post. He is
giving his spare time to a reading Of
the Hebrew Bible, and is trying to
complete it this year. ....''.'Miss Mar
garet Stewart, who has made her home
at Captain VIM. McAliley's for many
years, died November Is, aged nearly
70 years. More than a week before,
she was taken very i'll with pneumo-
MIA. She was given most watchful
and tender care. After the first few
days she seemed to rally and gave
some hopes of recovery; but the dis
ease was too much for her advanced
age and feebleness, and she fell on
sleep. She was member of the AS
sociate Reformed church.
GASTON-Gastonia Gazette, No
vember II: At Dallas yesterday we
learned that Mr.. w. T. Henderson is
thought to be slightly better. He has
been sick two or three weeks with
pneumonia and was too sick on election
day to get out and vote. But he was
reelected treasurer all right enough.
...".Mr. D. E. Cannon, aged 60 years,
died on Wednesday of last week at his
home in Mt. Holly. He was a native
of CASTOR and was one of the county's
best citizens. He was faithful men,
Der and official of the Lutheran church.
He was buried in the cemetery at Mt.
Holly, Rev. Mr.. Bager conducting the
