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

in Pleasant Valley, was
i destroyed by fire. Mr. Ilood and

covered the house on tire, the
(lames had made such headway !
that it was impossible to check ;
them, and the house and all of its
contents were totally destroyed.
1 The origin of tin1 tire is unknown, j
but it is thought to have, been the

(the same community, Mr. Ilood
lost his home in like manner.
