The storo windows are begin- : niug to put on attractive displays of specimens of their fall und winter goods. Dave Wade, the insane negro pi an who was captured in this place several weeks ag<>, has been placed in the asylum at Columbia. Hogs are very scarce this year. This is duo to the fact that farmers had little or no corn,and could not afford to pay the high price for it. Miss Mary O'Connell and her guest, Miss Geitrudo Gilligun, of Ashevijle, N. C., went to Belmont. N. C., Saturday morning for a short visit. In response to a tolcgrain, Mr. ?7. T. Nance left Monday for Shelby, N. C., where, it is learned, his wife ia dangerously ill of typhoid 1 fcever. There was no preaching at the Baptist church on Sunday, owing to the failure of Rev. D. M. Austin to catch the early morning train in Charlotte. Mrs. \V. T. Sellers and children left Monday for Manning, S. C\. at which place Mr. Sellers is engaged in the cotton business. Mrs. Sellers will remain there for several weeks. It is pleasing to hear the farmers talking every day about the ; encouraging outlook for a corn crop. There promises now to be plenty of "bread for the eater." Dr. J. II. Thornwell lias an appointment to preach at Washington, (hi., next Sunday, in consequence of which there will he no preaching at Ebenezeron that day. Perhaps one of tlie smallest debts you owe, and one that will , be the easiest to pay, is what you are due on subscription to your home paper. However small the amount is, we need it and want it.

Mr. Massey is succeeded as assistant postmaster by his sister, Miss J3ertha Massoy. Mrs. /. V.

Tiiis startling discovery was made 1 >y Mr. J as. Grid*, who passed the bank on his way to open his store for the (lav's business. Mr. (trier's attention was attracted by a lot of broken glass scattered over Main street. This, it was discovered, fiiimo f e/-*!-?-* r? f ( .... 1 ? 1 1 W IIUKJW OI lilt' building. Glancing in through tho broken pants, .Mr. Grier saw lliat tin* big vault and tab' had been blown open, and many books and papers were seattercd over the room, lie immediately notified Mr. \Y. li. Meacham, cash ier of the institution, who with other gentlemen entered the bank and began an investigation. The tirst discovery was a number of tools, such as crowbars, sledge hammers, drills, and a brace and bit, lying about the room. Most of these were the property of Mr. A. A. Young, bis smith shop hexing been broken open and the tools taken therefrom. As indicated by the big clock in the bank, tho robbery must hav? took plnce at 1 a. m., as the clock registered the hour at d.5."> a. in., and it in evident that the jar from tin* explosion cuused it tp stop at that time. Resides this, several citizens heard thy reports, hut supposing it to be a train shifting cars, paid no particular attention to the noise. The construction of the vault is such as to make two charges nee essary in order to reach the money. With the arrival of cool weather it is feared that smallpox will again break out in this township. Already it is noted that it has appeared in neighboring communities and our m-onle should los.? n<> time in tr?ki11?_c the necessary j>r? caution to prevent an epidemic of the loathsome disease should it a^'iin appear in our midst. It was rumored lure a few days aoo that the Catawba Power Company had purchased a tract of land on Catawba river at Wright's ferry with a view to building an. otlu r dam and electric power plant as soon as work on the one now in course of construction is completed. As announced last week, the fourth quarterly conference of the Fort Mill Methodist church was held Saturday and Sunday. Dr. Bays, presiding elder of the- Rock Hill District, was present and preached several very instructive sermons to the lar^e crowds who were in attendance. Aleck Pott us, colored, whose accidental shooting was noted in last week's Times, died Thursday at the home of his father, near Thorn's ferry. Our information of last week was to 1 ho effect tlint tho bullet] struck Pettus just above the knee, but this is not exactly correct. The bullet entered the lower part of the stomach, penetrated the intestines, and lodged somewhere in the back. Pettus is said to have suffered terribly from the wound. He was a member of one of tho most respectable colored families of that section and hia tin timely dent h is deeply regretted by both white and colored people. Only a few months ago a brother of Pettus was accidentally drowned at tho d on. Tt. is expected that the Jones roller mill, on Catawba river, will be in active operation by the latter part of the week. The mid is equipped with the latest improved machinery and those who patronize it may rest" nssurt d of the best results. BERS THE HEART OF TOWN.

There is no evidence as to who were the guilty parties, but it is known that the thieves left town in diU'cn-nt directions. A silv? r dollar, which bore maiUs of the explosion, was found early yester . (lay morning just beyond Bather's bridge, and it is thought thai tin piece of money was dropped by the thief w ho went that way. In view of the many iuquiiies I>y depositors as to who would lose the stolen money. The Tine s has heen requested to state thai, according to law, the hank is iesponsible for the entire amount, and that none of its patrons will be called upon to share the h-ss. The board of directors met \es- j terday morning and found that the bank was not seriously injured by the loss and directed that tieusual business be resumed this morning at the regular hour.
