Campion, the New York commission

the ginghams made by the Fort k

in town a day or two ago. 1
As pretty a pair of mules ns
have been seen on the streets of 4
this town for a long time were sold t
by J. W. McElhaney one day last j
week. One of tho mules was .
bought by a Charlotte man.
" J JfEx-Senator Quay exclaimed on \
rcpemocratic success in b8(J2, " Isn't ]
it awful." The same may he ex ,
claimed now hy anyone trying to t
trnvel our public roads. Even ,
country and plantation roads are J t
preferable. y
Unr ISortli Carolina neighbors '
ir? Providenco township are not j '
going crazy on cotton. They say
present prices aro illusive; and if j
people don't mind they will sell t
cotton for 5 cents after it has cost t
7 cents to raise it. \
Hon. D. E. Finley hns the (
thnnks of The Times for a copy of '
the Congressional Record which '
we are receiving daily. Our dis- ^
trict has never been represented (
in Congress by a more efficient or '
accommodating man than Mr. Fin- '
ley- |
j Saturday night four young j
Trhite boys whose parents live in ^

The Southern Railway Com- t
jnny is to erect a water tank of (
>0,000 gallons capacity about 100
eet north of the depot in this
place within a month. Thirty
years ngo there was a water tank
near the site on which it is pro- v
posed to erect this one. 1
The fonts of hotly type which \
are being used in setting The J
Times are shy of capital letters, so
we would say to those gcnjtleinen
wlios names are not immediately
preceded by the usual "Mr." that r.
no discourtesy is meant. This
shortcoming in the paper will be J1
overcome within a fortnight.

Che meeting was very well atended.
The vote resulted in 27

?hey decided to vote on a throe
aill levy. The election will be
teld on the 21st of this month. It
s the duty of every voter of this
listrict to come out to the election
nd vote. If lie is in favor of the
ax it. is his duty to come out and
ote for it. If he is opposed to
ho tax he should come out and
ay so. If you want better teachrs
and longer school tonus and
etter schools in general, then you
hould como out and vote for the
ax. If you are satisfied with the
chools you now have and think
hoy are too good and also think
hat your children are already too
rell educated or tluu the present
chools will educate theui too well,
hen you can come nut ami vote
jfoinst the tax. A man can not
o a better thing f >r his child,

than to g v? him a comlou-oeose.

PI- n;-ant Valley
Pleasant Valley is said fl B
garden spot of Lancaster BBPJ^
and you know it makes IT great
J impression of happiness upon the
people to think that they live in
i such a fertile community. At any
rate, there seems to be some kind
of attraction to draw back those
who have been away for many
years. Mr. Leroy Kimbrell, who
has been living in Fort Mill for a
, number of years, has returned to
Pleasont Valley, and we are glad
to have him with us again. His
1 return shows that Pleasant Valley
is moving onward
llev, Mr. Steele, pastor of Waxhaw
church, preached for us last
Sunday, our pastor being away.
To-morrow evening there will
be a public debate at Pleasant
t: Hill Academy. The question to
\ 1 ? * ' * "
. of discussed is, " Kosolved, That
it is better to educate the girls
5 than it is to educate the boys."
' All are invited to be present.
Tho farmers in this section ex,
pected to do a great deal of work
this week, but the inclement
, weather forced them to discon.
tinue operations. Wheat is grow.
ing nicely, but oats have been
badly damaged by the cold. The
j farmers think, however, that they
( will grow after a while.
The pupils and teachers of our
school are invited to be present at
the closing exercises of Miss
White's school in Bolair Friday

Cur honorable board of aldermen met
r recently and passed an ordinance
| whereby any company may have the
iiin-riy, ami are specially invited, to
* to come to oar town and lmild a factory,
machine shop, or other industrial
[ plant, and be exempt of all taxation
| for a period of four years. Now, it
seems that when such a liberal induce1
niont is held out, that the various companies
should respond, and if they do we
! will soon have a city.
Farmers are hauling out fertilizers

ol our heaven-chartered order. Jamks i
A. With Kits, (tone from among us to
worship in the Celestial Lodge above.
He has left a rich heritage to his children's
children in hist Jodly walk. Christian
example, and upright integrity in
every relation of life. May we, too, I
follow in his footsteps, where he fol- i
lowed close to the Master, that, like
him, be ready, 'tho' the summons
come in a (lash of noonday sun. " In a
whisper Cod's power is made known." |
While we mourn with unfeigned sorrow
this loss, yet we bow in holy submission
to the eternal decree of the Supreme
Architect of the Universe.
Just as winter's circle was complete
and springtide stood ready to greet the
awakening of earth's store of sweets, on
