V\y i II VI l Ul BaricRster, niter a week's visit to relatives in Fort Mill. Bishop Gallowny, at the recent ;ineeting of the South Carolina Methodist conference, assigned Rev. *1. T. Spiuks to a charge in Oconee county. Mr. A. R. Kimbrell, of Rock Hill, was up Sunday to see i.is father, Mr. S. J. Kimbrell, who is dangerously ill, as a result of the burn he received several days ago. The friends of Mr. W. S. MeMurray, who for several months lias been employed as clerk in a Baltimore drug house, will bo pleased to learu that he has been promoted to the position of traveling salesman for the firm, and will pay Fort Mill an occasional visit. A number of members of the local lodge Iv. of P. went up to Charlotte Wednesday evening to attend the annual fail meeting of the I). O. K. K. Messrs. G. S. Thompson and Osmond Barber were the only Fort M; Minns who received the initiation, the others having previously joined the order. Much to the regret of a great number of people in this community, Rev. R. A. Yonguo was not returned to tho Fort Mill Methodist church for another year, but was assigned to a charge in Orangeburg county. Rev. W. A. Wright, of Branchvillo, will he tho pastor of this church, lie is expected to arrive next weok. According to the report of the county commissioners to the grand jury, on the work of York county magistrates during the pnst year, J. B. Mills, magistrate of Fort Mill township, retrieved a salary of <-$210 for self and constable, issued 20 warrants, sent 3 defendants to chaingaug, failed to execute 9 warrants, bound over or acquitted 8 defendants, oollectod tines to the amouut of $18.90. Socao people value a bound very highly, Mr. L. S. Nivens and Will klnke, colored, are two of the number, A few days ago Blake stole a hound from a young son of Mr. Nivons, who came to town and swore out a warrant for the negro charging him with petty larceny. Blake was arrested and tried before Magistrate Mills Wednesday, lie was given thirty days on the chaingang. That practically no interest is being taken in the coining election of town officers is evidenced by the small number of citizens who have thus far registered. The administration of Mr. J. W. Mr F.I h&ney has been thoroughly satisfactorv. and if lie rlen.iilea come a candidate for re-election to the oflice of intendant, it is very probable that he will meet with no opposition. Mr. H. C. C'ulp lias also given satisfaction as chief of police and as overseer of the streets, which are in better condition than in years. Burglars again visited Pineville Saturday night, breaking into the store of Mr. R. M. Erwin. They effected an entrance to the building through the front door and broke open the cash drawer, from which less than a dollar in money was secured. The sife was unharmed and nothing has been missed from the stock of goods. It is thought that the burglars were frightended away before thev had completed their work. Tins is the second or third time Mr. Erwin's store has been burglarized since he began business in Pineville, four years ago. On the 18th instant Miss Emma Ardrey, daughter of Capt. W. E. Ardrey, of Ardreys, N. C., and Dr. J. L. Spratt, of Fort Mill, will be jnnrrif?rt ?.v VMV UVtllU Wl I un |*L IJepectivo bride's father, tlie liev. Mr. Sprinkle, of Pineville, to officiate. Miss Ardrey is an accomplished young lady and is well known in Fort Mill, having visited frequently at the home her uncle, Mr. J. W. Ardrey, in this place. Dr. Sprat t is deservedly one of the most popular young men of Fort Mill. Last spring he graduated in dentistry from the University of Maryland and l;ns s ,,vO practiced successfully here \ h &&? . A. k. Hood's Home Burned. Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock ! the home of Mr. A. Is' Hood, who lives ou 31 r. d. Q. Gov iH'b plantation. in Pleasant Valley, was i destroyed by fire.

Several years ago. while living at the Barnes place in (the same community, Mr. Ilood lost his home in like manner. ?Negro Hobo loses His Right Foot.
