Huddles, wluj is tick with typhoid i faver, remains uiiclianfged. Dr. J Stepkeuson caih? down from CharI lotto Sunday night to see her. | Doctors Kirkpatrick, Thompson and Spratt successfully amputated the right leg of Andy Neely, a! colored tenant on the farm of Mr. | B. F. Maesoy, Monday. The negro ! has been suffering from a large i sotv on hie leg for some time and ' it hnd f[rown to such an extent that the doctors found amputation ' necessary. The citizens of the town should j keep their lots clear of weeds and 1 grass not otdy for a better appear- j ! a nee but also as a preventative of i j sickness. This is the time of year when the dew and frost, fulling (>u I weeds as they decay causes dip theria and our people should wage i t war against such things during the month of September. Mr. Iv. Shannon, the public cotton weigher, has purchased new and expensive scales. Fie had to 1 J dive down into his own pocket to pay for them, for since the people ! ; have taken upon themselves the privilege of electing the weigher, | the town, we suppose, feel no long- I ] er obligated to furnish scales. I However, Mr. Shannon is anxious I to please the publis and he wanted to hear no kick coining about old j jscales. Make Hay While the Sac Shines. | Jn veiw of the short corn crop I and the scarcity of fodder, etc., ! which will arise therefrom, our ! farmers have been busily engaged | 1 during the fair weather of the past t n-n.. 1. rt.. i ' - - wining miiu curing penvilie hay. The improved mowing machines are being extensively used this season and all the the farmers are well pleased with their work- j ing qualities. Agents in this place for the different companies have sold quite a number of harvesting machines and numbers of people have been heard to say that they will buy later. r 6. \ i ? ? -4?>- ? 1 Would the Tows. We notice in our exchanges that several towns of the State are collecting taxes on dogs and a number have taken in more than a hundred dollars from this source. We do not see why Fort Mill could not profit by such an ordinance, as^ the town is well supplied in the canine line. The town would have better streets and more money with which to repair them were the council to enact several tax ordinances. Tinier Have Changed. One of our oldest citizens remarked while returning from divine services last Sunday that it reminded him of old times to see the large congregations at the services at the Presbyterian church. He said that years ago it was an unwritten law in every household that every member of the family ' must attend church on Sunday. I Then the families hod pews and I every member of tho family from the smallest child to tho grayhaired parents could be seen in their respective pews and it was ! a ease of flogging when n child left church during the service#. Uut ; how times have changed! -W DrcwAoi ?t the C^m. j Another death occured at the . Catawba dam on last Wednesday. Jim Horn, colored, was drowned while crossing the river in a flatboat along with several other workmen. The boat had reached a point about twenty feet from the shore when horn was seen to spring into the water, which is very swift at that place. His companions watched a few moments for his return to the surface, hut he was not t > rise again until Friday afternoon when his body was found several hundred yards below where he had jumped in. None of the persons who were with him hnve nny idea why the man jumped from the boat. ) FOR SALE ?A new, 22 calibre i Marlin Repenting ItiHe. Will sol^^^to for cash, (.'.all at LOOK OUT!
