county on the 21st instant. Mrs. Lit

We learn that an effort will be made
to establish daily mail route between
Gaffney and Forest City, N. c., via
Algood, Ezell, State Line, Hicksville,
Island Ford and Butler. And also to
rearrange the Grassy Pond route, so as
to include Grassy Pond, Dellinger,
Evansville and Maud. BY this ar.
rangement all western Cherokee will
have daily mail communication with
Gaffney. A condition, which, from a
business standpoint, seems necessity.
.........The bad weather has greatly
delayed the work on the tenement
houses that the Gaffney Manufactur-
ing company, is building. But Baker
& Lemaster are hustlers and will have
them ready to be occupied in the
shortest time possible for so much
work to be done. Several have been
finished and were occupied as soon as
the builders got out. When this
work is finished 70 new six-room COT
tages will have been added to factory
hill. ......"..Mr. VIM. Riley Pennington,
who lived near the city, died last Sun
day and was buried at Providence
church Monday. Mr.. Pennington was
born and raised in this immediate vi
cinity, was hard working and highly
respected man, and leaves many rela-
tives and friends who mourn because
he is not. He had lived all his "a
years near where he was born and
died without an enemy. Peace to his
ashes. ........ Ex.Coroner Al. McCraw
