Mrs. Leroy Springs, of Lancaster, is visiting her parents. Capt. and Mrs. S. E. White. There are very few of the citizens of the town who have not been rocently vaccinated. Tne family of Mr. Ira G, Sinythe moved ,to their now home at Gastonia la^>t Wednesday. A Mr. Rove, of Columbia, has been sent to this place as 1 light -operator for the Southern Kailway. Mr. H. J. Brown, of Newberry, lias acceptt-d i he position of boss weaver at the Millfort Mill in this plttce. Miss Cora Wilson, of Mnr?rnn. ? - ion, N.

Company. One of the merchants was heard to remark that last Saturday was , one of the best days his firm has had since the holidays. IJev. A. Finch preached at Blackstock Sunday. He has received a call to serve Blackstock | and Woodward churches^ Chester1 county. Miss Clara Sledge came up from Chester Saturday, and on Monday morning opened a school at the graded school building in ?his place. If you hnve not he oil vncci tinted you stand n pretty good chance to get smallpox, even if you avoid the houses that are decorated with yellow tlu^o. Miss Lillian Massey, of Tirzah, lias been selected liy Mrs. FI. 15.; Buist and is now in Charleston, as sponsor for York county at the ox- , position carnival. We are requested to state that the grist mill at the Spratt .Machine shop will run next Sat unlay, the 15th, instead of the 22nd as lias been given out. The young people of the town enjoyed a delightful evening Monday at the home of Mr. 1). (i. Kimbrell. The occasion was what ts known as a "surprise party." It is said that a young man who lias been attending the Gold Hill school ran away from home last Friday and has not yet returned, all on account of being required to j ninke a speech before the school. It is certain now that the am a! I grnin, especially the oat crop, has been greatly damaged hy the cold I spells in December and January, i {Some of the farmers will plow uj> i and sow again, if tlie weather permits. Mr. J. M. McGinn, whose home , is near Harrison church, about 5 miles east of Fort Mill, was strick- I en with paralysis last Friday night. j Mr. McGinn is one of the oldest and best citizens of Mecklenburg county. As will be noted by hijc ndver- i tisement, Mr. T. 13. Belk is now asking 85 cants per bushel f< rsccd oats, instead of 75 cents as form* rly. This advance was occasioned by the recent rise in tho price of oats. J A|rs. Z*. V. Bradford aml/Jittle daughter Nettie went up ty (-liarlotte Sunday to visit /datives Mrs. Bradford and children will in a few days move to Si. Petersburg, Fla., where Mr. (Bradford has treen living since January 1. The Times was pleasantly surprised Monday evening to receive from Prof. S. M. Mason a letter, which is published in full in another column. Prof, ^lasoti has a long list of friends in Fort Mill who will be delighted to hoar from him, and in the future \ye shall be more than pleased to 1 receive and publish other of his ijntercstfbg communications. \ I Rev. J. 11. Tliornwoll, of Kurt Mill, delivered his humorous loetuiv, "A Country Parson's Trip to Kuropo,'* in Clinton ivcently. The Clinton Gazette in speaking of it says it was "ijrmtd, entertaining. spicy ana rcti'ssliing."'?Hack II111 Herald. Klectra Hodge K. of P.. of Fort Mill, is to lie well represented in Charleston on the tilth, it being Pythian Day at the exposition. A party of about ten will go down, leaving here on the night c>f the 18.h. The fare for the round trip is S* 7<>. The Charlotte News says that three men, who hailed from Fort Mill, went to Charlotte last Monday to see the elephant and imbibed too much red lomonade. The lieeorder took into neeount 11,?? di/.zy whirl of a first visit to the city and let the Fort Mill sights *ers oil' with costs. Wo understand that, a public ferry is to l?o opeiutl soon just above Spruit's Island on Catawba river by the Messrs. Jones, who are to build a roller mill at the old Jones mid site. It is el.timed that a ferry at that point will open up the shortest and la st roadway between Fori Mill anil Iv ek Hill. A Washington dispnteh to the News and Courier says that Caj t. 1?. A. Boykin. a prominent farmer of Kershaw County, has written to Kepresenative Finley asking his support of the movement to have the (jruverment establish a weather signal station on Catawba Kiver soon where bet ween Mount Holly, N. C., and Fort Mill, S. C.

Dr. .J. 1 >. Mack has written an-i other very instructive article for the Charlotte < )bserver. The subject of Dr. Mack's last article is. "Where is the Presbyterian Church?"' Tne Observer says "he thinks In? sees si^ns that the Southern Presbyterian church i-> oettinoiiway from the dogmas of a dead past and reaching out to meet the needs of a living present1 The article is highly luterestiiiLr and is one of the leading features of the Sunday Observor.
