Nov. 23, 1892. - MRS. MARGARET J. MOORE died Thursday Nov.17, 1892 and was buried Friday afternoon in the old cemetery. From her girlhood up she was remarkable for consistency of character and purity of life. She was devoted in her attention to and care of her parents while they lived. For many years she was a teacher in the Sunday School and her seat in church was never vacant, if she was able to attend. Her many virtues are a rich legacy to relatives and friends, if they will only imitate her. - W.P. IRWIN went out to Nashville last week to attend a Jersey sale, thinking that he would buy one or two. He found the prices too high. Little calves, not much bigger than a rabbit sold for $40. up. Cows were all the way from $100. to $200. That shows that the 'mild-eyed Jersey' is still in demand and always will be while men fancy, the beautiful and useful combined. - Aunt LIN', who has been living in MR. GEO. COFFIELDS back yard for many years quietly passed away Sunday afternoon. She was 75 to 80 years old. In the old days she belonged to LEM FERNANDES, of Limestone Springs and for many years was the attendant of his wife, " Aunt Sallie". She has had the kindest attention and best care from MR. COFIELD'S family. - The Methodist preachers of the city and county have gone to Charleston to attend conference. Messrs. JNO. N. CARLISLE, J.K. JENNINGS and W.K. BLAKE will also attend. ------ November 6, 1892 SAM SWITZER killed his brother-in-law JOHN CHEEK in Laurens county about 7 miles from Woodruff Monday. They had a quarrel and fight and it is said that CHEEK was going into his house for a gun when SWITZER knocked him down with a brick and then struck him in the head with a hatchet. CHEEK died Tuesday morning. ------ Febuary 8, 1893 MISS SALLIE TUCK, sister of CAPTAIN J.W. TUCK, died at her home Monday Feb. 6, 1893. She had been sick with pneumonia about one week. She was a pious and consistent member of Bethel church for years and was entirely resigned to death. Her Christian faith upheld her during her great suffering and while crossing the dark valley. She was about 66 years old and was buried Tuesday at the family burial ground. - The Gaffney vicinity is noted for people who live to be very old. We believe that a circle described with an eight mile radius with Gaffney as a center would sweep in more very old people than any other section of the county. - J.H. SLOAN bought 900 bales of cotton from one man in Athens, Ga., last week. He is having it compressed for shipment. - All hands who wish to hire by day should report to W.A. PARKS. - Thanksgiving turkeys came in with a rush last week. They sold at 50 cents up to $2. for gobblers weighing 20 to 25 pounds. Chickens brought 15 to 20 cents. --------- nancie o. - share, don't sell.
