VAN WYCK ITEMS.
Mr. Editor: After ton days!
h settee I am back at Van Wyckj
ad lind many changes have taken
laeo in this short time. Thoj
'ain! *r'> brush has brightened up
lit* town. The merchants have
lied their stores with fall goods,
'lie dry hot weather lias caused
tatty cotton shapes to fall oil", .
nd at some places the lleeev
laple is ready for the pickers, ,
nd is 1 icing gathered bv many
rilling hands. The beaux and
dies have been attending pro-)
raeted meetings, much to their |
wn hearts delight. Tito senate- I
iul election has been iptietly held,
rith McLaurin in the - lead and
Nans behind and many other:
linages and tilings generally happening,
too numerous to mention.
Mr I'M IXavenport and family j
nvc moved back to Monroe, and '
It* Williamson and family from
landy River, have moved into)
lie house vacated by Mr Davenort.
Mr Williamson has charge
s foreman on Section No 3 of the
I (' cV N R R. We welcome this
ititiily to our village.
Mr Heath Statutes and family
f Osceola, have moved to our
illage. Mr Staines has a posiion
on the Railroad section here.
Miss Blanche Stewart has reirned
to her home at Hock 11 ill.
he was accompanied by her
nnt, Mrs Sallic Stewart, who.
ill spend sometime at Hock Hill ,
ltd other places.
We hear nf sonm ilenivwlnl w,n u ,
- ? *" I I
immitfed by some young men at I
elair church during the recent i
rotracted meeting. They re- j
oved buggy taps, cut harness, I
id untied horses and many oth-.
shameful annoyances were!
jrpetrated. Such actions can
it be too severely criticised, and j
iiilty parties should l?e punished
>r such misdemeanors.
Miss IiOwis Heath of Wnxhaw, '
lent several days visiting her J
an Wyek friends, who love to j (

One of our -'young sports''!
is l>een making such frequent j
ips ueross the Catawba River at f
andsford, that he says he knov s |
(5 ford by heart, and could cross ^
ith his eyes shut. If his inten- (
>ns do not miscarry, he says he j
ill not need to cross the river L
is winter. So listen for "Wed- 1 j
ng Bells." I
Old Hickory, Van Wyck's cor- i '
spondent of the Enterprise, is a (
tie too previous in stating that i
ptimus has demolished Hill Do- <
tie. Hill is well and doing <
ill, but says, he is too busy to (

aking after the girls, and it!']
