BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION. There was an interesting family gathering at the home of Mr. Thomas MeGlll, near King's Creek postofllce, last Tuesday, the occasion being the celebration of that venerable gentleman's S9th birthday by his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. There had been no especial programme for the occasion, and so far as Mr. McGill was concerned, the gathering was in the nature of a surprise party. Having completed their arrangements beforehand by the invitation of a few outsiders, including Rev. J. L. Oates, pastor of Hickory Grove ?5 o??"r?.r.a tho rhiidren and grand UIIU * IIU, v?*v .? w children, with their families and dinners, dropped in upon the old gentleman and made a delightful day of it. Mr. Thomas McGill is a son of the late William McGill, and was born on Crowder's creek about one and one-half miles from Bethany church, on June 24, 1813. He lived at the place of his birth until 1832, when he moved with his father's family to King's Creek, in which neighborhood he has resided continuously ever since. On June 24, 1837, he married Miss Louisa Galloway, of Clark's Fork, the ceremony being performed by Wm. McElwee, Esq., grandfather of the bride. The next year he united with'Bethany church, and remained a member at Bethany until the organization of Smyrna in the summer of 1843. Upon the removal of his membership to Smyrna, he was elected a ruling elder and continues in that position at the present time. From 1850 to 1860 he filled the office of magistrate for his section, and during that time, as for many years after, was recognized as a leading citizen of the western part of the county. For a number of years past he has been showing the effects of his advanced age; but he still maintains an interest in affairs that is remarkable for his environments and years. Mr. McGill was the father of ten children, of whom only five are still living. These are J. Alexander McGill, W. J. McGill, J. Newman McGill, Nancy E. McGill, Martha Shaw White. All of these were present on last Tuesday, as were also all the grandchildren with the exception of Rev. B. F. White, now of Moundsville, West Virginia. Of the six great-grandchildren two were present. A feature of the day's enjoyment was interesting devotional exercises, conducted by Rev. J. L. Oates. The exercises were opened with the singing of the 23d Psalm. This was followed by the reading of the 90th and 91st Psalms and prayer. Then Mr. Oats made an interesting talk. The exrecises were concluded by the singing of the 100th Pslam. Mr. Thomas McGill is the sole survivor of his father's family. Each of his brothers and sisters lived to a good old age; but all died before reaching the age he has attained. He is noticeably growing feebler, however,?and his descendants are not looking forward with a great deal of hope to many repetitions of the peculiar pleasures that were enjoyed last Tuesday.

Convicted of False Pretenses. Spartanburg Herald, Thursday: The next case disposed of was that of the state against Dr. S. S. Daniel, charging him with false pretense. Solicitor Sease conducted the prosecution, and Mr. C. P. Sims the defense. Daniel was found guilty with recommendation to the mercy of the court. His attorney has given notice for motion of appeal, which will be argued this morning. The Daniel case is an interesting one. The defendant is a well known dentist of Spartanburg. Some time ago a white man. named Morgan Reeves, was arrested by warrant issued from magistrate's court. Rather than go to Jail, pending investigation, he endeavored to secure a bondsman. Dr. Daniel went on the man's bond, first requiring Reeves to indemnify him (Daniel; against loss by giving him a note and mortgage on a certain piece of land, property of Reeves, to the amount of $210. The case against Reeves, for which the warrant of the magistrate was issued, was dismissed, but the note and mortgage still remained in Daniel's f possession. Later on Dr. Daniel assigned this instrument to the Alexander Music and Furniture house, of Charlotte, N. C., for a piano valued at about $250. Reeves prosecuted Daniel for obtaining the piano from the music house under false pretenses, the charge being that the note and mortgage represented to be worth $250 was invalid and wortnless. The Kansas Harvest.?In Kansas City there is a free employment bureau which seems to be a state institution. It picks up ail the idle men it can find and gives them transportation to different places where work is to be obtain ed. At present it is busy supplying hands of Kansas farms. It illustrates the scarcity of such hands and desperate need of the farmers that a train load of these workers, en route from Kansas City to Pratt, Kan., arrived without a single one of the hands left. At every stopping place farmers boarded the train and begged and bribed the men away. Where the fields are standing ready for the harvest and the farmer is face to face with a possible loss of his year's work, he does not wait on ceremony or pay much regard to the rights of his neighbors. The superintendent of this bureau says that if he had 2,500 or 3,000 men he could place them.?Waterbury American. Where Lightning Striken.

WE have no reason to complain that there has been any lack of appreciation or proper commendation of our efforts to give the people of Yorkvllle ind vicinity the best, most stylish and nost muaerii livery cuiivcmciiwco iu uc found in the state. Everybody has been free to admit this and the liberal patronage we are receiving is practical evidence of sincerity. But within the past few days, we scored an emphatic triumph. When that company of pickid Rock Hillians came over last week, ind saw all at once, what had been a Jteady growth upon our own people, their enthusiasm was most demonstrative. They hired every wheel in our place and kept them rolling until 10 p'clock that night, and both gentlemen ind ladles overwhelmed us with praise ind compliments. Several of them declared what we believe to be a fact, that we've got the FINEST LIVERY HORSES AND ROLLING STOCK to pe found in the State outside of the three largest cities. Neither Rock Hill jr Chester begins to compare with us, ind we are still adding. J. C. ELLIOTT, Manager. J. P. PURSLEY, CLOVER, 8. 0. Good Hams.
