for business. His bondsmen are said to
be good for 100000, and he had plenty
more ready to sign If needed. The
bond is $4,000. Rev. j. S. Grler and
family will leave for Marion Thurs
day, and the Rev. T. E. Morris and
family will be here Friday. The for
mer says it is a grief to leave Ches-
ter. and we are sure the people of
Chester regret exceedingly to see them
go. It Is a blessing to any community
to have such a family in 1t. BY the
way, If Mr.. Grier had been a less mod
est man than he Is we should nave
found out sooner that he Is descend
ant of General Francis Marion. We
have Just learned this from another
source. It is a satisfaction to learn
from various sources that the preach
er and family that are to occupy the
Methodist parsonage are most excellent
people.
CHEROKEE-Ga Ledger, De-
cember IL: A little colored child be-
tween one and two years old, belonging
to Sam Stephens, who lived over IN
"Stumptown," had the misfortune to
get a grain of corn fastened in its wind
pipe Saturday and died before the
grain could be removed. Mr.. R. F.
Treadway, pastor of the Baptist church
of Shelby, and Rev. B. P. Robertson, or
this city, exchanged. pulpits Sunday.
Mr.. Treadway delivered two excellent
sermons here. The forenoon sermon
was especially good. The speaker chose
as his subject. God" and during the
discourse pointed out the fallacy of
mans efforts to find God In nature,
sun, moon and stars and images, intel
lect and reason, and declared that Coo
revealed himself in love, and that the
only way for humanity to find God
was through love. The sermon was
logical and plain. Mr.. TreadWay IS a
very good pulpit orator and his dis
course pleased the large audience. The
music was a feature Of both services.
Rev. w. S. B. Ford, pastor of the
Second Baptist church, filled his ap-
pointment Sunday morning, this being
the first time he has been able to
preach in two weeks on account or MS
eyes. His eyes are improving, now
ever, and Mr.. Ford hopes to be able to
fill his appointments regularly hereaf-
ter. In the evening Rev. w. T. Thomp-
son filled Mr.. Ford's pulpit, preaching
a splendid sermon to large and inter-
asted congregation. Superintendent
Macarthur has heard nothing IN regard
to the mules which were stolen from
him nearly two weeks ago. 1t is GER
tainly wonderfully strange how a per-
son can steal as large a thing as
mule and get away with 1t in thickly
settled country like this. Doubly
strange is it that he could get away
with three mules. 1t is to be hoped
that the perpetrators Of the numerous
bold and daring thefts that have oc-
Cured in this section of the country
within the past few weeks, will be
caught and punished to the fullest pos
sible extent Of the law. miss Alma
an accomplished young lady
Of Shelby, N. c.. is now occupying the
position of teacher in Graded School
No. 2 formerly filled by Miss Mayme
who recently resigned.
Miss McBrayer is a graduate of Con-
verse college, and highly recommend
ed teacher. We welcome her to Gaff-
ney and hope her stay in our midst
may be a pleasant one. IF. q. Briggs
was called to Union Saturday by tel
egram announcing the death of his
father who lived near that place. He
has not returned as yet, and we know
nothing of the particulars.
