none but the intimate friends of th'
contracting couple being present, tt
whom an elegant supper was served
after the ceremony .'''''''The Lime
stone college girls are all at thei'
places in the college again after spend

came several who had not attended
the college before. Limestone College
lis in the front ranks and is increasing
her pace. .........D. D. Dover, an over
the.river farmer, was in Gaffney Fri
day. Mr.. Dover predicts that this
will be a good fruit year. He says
that old Christmas eve night was clear
and that is a sure sign of an abundance
of fruit. Had it been cloudy it would
not have been a good fruit year. This
has been his observations for years.
An old darkey called his attention to
this fact way back yonder, and he has
made it a rule to note it every year
since and has found that the old dar'
kew was correct. ........'The election
for mayor and aldermen of Gaffney
will be held on the 9th of next March.
This time there will be six aldermen
elected, one from each ward in the
city. We have not heard any one
spoken of as probable candidate for
warden, but several gentlemen have
been mentioned in connection with
the mayors Office. ...'..'Some mscreant
had the brazen effrontery to drive up
to J. l.. Spake's pig pen Saturday
night and load one of his fine shoats
into a wagon and drive off: Mr.. spake
has not the slightest clue to the guilty
scoundrel. Not content with stealing
one shoat they crippled another that
was in the pen. Such thieves as these
should, and doubtless will be, summa'
rily dealt with if caught.
LANCASTER - Ledger, January
10: Mr.. and Mrs. Lovick 2. Roddey,

most delightful trip to the "Land OF
Flowers" They will reside here, Mr..
Roddey having arranged to exchange
positions with Mr.. Ferguson, the lat
ter taking charge of the c. & l.. busi-
ness at Fort Lawn and the former tax.
| ing the agency at this place. 1--WE
regret to learn that ReY. Chalmers
Moore, pastor of the Presbyterian
church at Heath's Spring, is seriously
| i'll of BrighL's disease. 1.-THE friends
of Mrs. &. w. Porter, Of 1rvington,
formerly Miss Fannie BlakeDey, OF
this place, will regret to learn that she
has been stricken with paralysis. The
stroke was slight and mainly in one
side of the face. 1--WE learn with
regret of the death of A. w. Osborne,
a genial, clever man, which occurred at
Biacksburg, his home, of paralysis,
last Thursday. Though it has been
some wears since Mr.. Osborne lived in
Lancaster, he is stilled remembered
here, and will be here while this gen.
Grafton lasts. He was about 76 years
of age and was born in Fitchburg,
Mass. In 1S47 he came south, and the
last So years of his life was spent in
Georgia, North and South Carolina as
brick manufacturer and contractor.
His honesty, uprightness, and his gen.
ial, social, friendly disposition made
him hosts of friends wherever be went.
He was a member of the Methodist
church. His remains were Inferred at
Blacksburg. .''''''"''Mrs. Georgia Cren-
shaw, daughter of Mr.. Reese Caskey,
of this county and wife of Mr.. John
NJ. Crenshaw, died on Wednesday last,
at the Eureka Cotton mill, in Chester,
of consumption, aged about l9 years.
.........For several years we have been
endeavoring to persuade our monled
men to invest some of their surplus
capital in an oil mill at this place.
| Oil mills in the state are making every.
where from 20 to rs per cent. per
annum on the money invested. We
notice that the Atlantic Cotton Oll
company, which has large mills at
Sumter, Bennettsville and Gibson, ex-
poets to erect large mill of 60 tons
per day capacity at Camden, out of its
earnings, without increasing its capital
stock. The quantity Of seed sold from
wagons here in Lancaster every fall,
would, we are told, almost supply a
mill for a season. If our people DO
not soon take steps for a mill here,
some outsiders will come in and reap
the enormous profits which such an
enterprise, properly managed, assures
investors. $4,000 is all the capital
needed for such an enterprise, and 1t
could be raised in a few hours if some
one will only take the lead. Let us
have a cotton seed oil mill. Now is
the time to start to have it ready for
operation by the coming season.
