Gaffney Ledger, Oct. %: Mr.. w. j.
McGil Of Kings Creek, was a visitor
to the Ledger office Wednesday. While
here Mr.. McGill showed us an old
Spanish coin which he had found in
his deceased fathers effects, and
which had become blackened by age
or rough usage. One Of the figures In
the date was rather unintelligible, but
the year of issuance seemed to be 1897
and Mr.. McGill was certain that that
was correct. The reverse side bore
the inscription, "Carolus Ill.," At any
rate. the coin was a very ancient one,
and the owner priced it highly, both
because Of it's age and because it had
beer in his family for two or three
gene ations.. .... Last Sabbath even

mes Garner Of Wilkinsville, were mar
ried at the home of Mr.. ]. G. Ken
