The kiln caved and one of the child's

which was burned last Tuesday, with
an iron structure. Its expected to be

CHER0KEE-The Gafney Ledger,
April Z: We learn that our friend, Mr..
Nj. NJ. Feeman, has bought the Chero-
kee Inn at Blacksburg, and will take
charge of the management himself.
Cherokee Inn is a fine property, and
in such competent hands should do
we'll. AT meeting of the NUM-.
cipal League, held Tuesday evening at
the residence of Mr.. w. G. Lees, II
committee was appointed to solicit the
names Of citizens to petition 10 be
presented to the Southern Railway
company, asking said company to build
a new and up-to-date passenger depot
and waiting rooms in Gaffney. This
is a good move on the part of the
League, and it is to be hoped that the
railway company will see the import
ance of it. Gafney is no longer a
station; but is now a city of 5000
people who want and are entitled to all
the accommodation that the changed
conditions require. The Southern al
ways has an eye to the comforts of its
patrons which induces US to believe
that it will consider the petition favor
ably. ......... Fishermen on Broad river
are still complaining of their small
catch, and say that they have not heen
able TO catch any Of the good qualities
of fishes which were plentiful in Broad
river in this section before the dam
was built across the river at Columbia.
Before the dam was built fine shad,
red horse and fat fish were abundant
in our part of Broad river in their
season; but now none of them are
found, and those who eat fish in these
parts have to confine themselves to
catfish or buy such as have been ship
ped many hundred miles to our mark
ct. We see now that another dam will
soon be built near Columbia, and we
hope that the proper authorities will
see that it has fish ways made in it
that will allow fish to pass, and also to
see that similar ones are placed in the
old dam. If it is lawful to obstruct
the passage of fish, then we are help
less; but if it is unlawful, this country
will be heard from. ''.''''''On the 9th
of March Mrs. Mary Williams, wife of
Mr.. Isaac Williams, died at her home
near Ezells, in this county, under cir
cumstances which after several days
