Gaffncy Ledger, Sept. II: The or
ganization of the Cherokee county
branch of the South Carolina Cotton
association is moving rather slowly but
surely. Several very enthusiastic meet
ings were held during the week.
Farmers and business men OF the
county who have taken the time TO
think. the matter over are very en-
thusiastic. The feeling grows that the
organization is practical and that other
counties have organized and that
Cherokee must do her part. A very
enthusiastic meeting was held.--....Ac-
cording to the school census taken by
Miss Mary Higgins, attendance officer
the following children are due to be In
attendance upon the schools OF the
county: one hundred and thirty eight
six year old children, one hundred and
twenty-five seven year old children,

old children, one hundred and forty
three nine year old children, one hun
dred and thirty-sevea ten year old

eleven year old children, one hundred
and two twelve year old children and

A marriage of interest to Gaffney peo-
Pile was that of Miss Maggie Paris and
r. II. Moseley which occurred Satur-
day night.The schools of the town
have had new feature added to them
this season. Lunches will be served
at the noon recess in all three build
ings, consisting of sandwiches, iced
lemonade, and hot soup. Many towns
and cities have been serving these hot
lunches to the pupils for some years.
The Domestic Science class usually has
this in charge, and it has been found
exceedingly beneficial to child's
health to have some. hot and nourish-
ing food at this hour. AS the schools
here have no Domestic Science de-
partment, three very capable ladies in
town have undertaken to serve these
lunches at each building. Parents who
wish their children to take advantage
of this opportunity should see that
they take their money to school with
them. Sandwiches will be cents,
SOUP cents u bowl, iced lemonade
cents glass, individual glasses and
bowls being taken by the pupils
II. c. Childers, who lives near Gaffney
has been troubled recently by the de-
predations of a COW which belongs to
one of his neighbors. Recently he
captured the animal and confined her
in stall on his premises, but that
night the animal was taken away, and
is now again in. the possession of the
owner. Mr.. Childers will probably
prosecute the owner for rescuing the
cow.John w. Ross. the veteran fld-
dler of Cherokee, said yesterday That
he is promoting convention which
will be great drawing card. The
Westrope and Hicks orchestras will
combine and in addition there will be
some attractive individual numbers
which will be entertaining to all who
attend. Mr.. Ross's idea is to divide
the proceeds after the expenses are
paid, equally among the performers.
........... Preparatory to the arrival Of Dr.

ments are being made on the parson-
age. DR.. Granbery is expected to fill
