Owe of the older citizens Rays , that lie looks for but little fair weather between this and May. j He is. probably, a lieliover in thej ground bog theory. People generally believe that : this is going to he a line crop year. Wheat and oats look well and the land is neither washed nor compacted by heavy rains. Almost all of our eoubtry friends are complaining of the miserable | condition of the public highways all over tlie county. Good road-; are badiy needed in York county. The citizens are now thanking1 tlie council 1"T having sand and cinders put on the sidewalks of the town. The improvements to the streets are especially notice- | able this wet weather. Flour a ml wheat. have advanced and t he probability is that consum- , era in this State will pay ten or fifteen per cent ni'K'e than recent prices.

Real Estate Transfers. The following transfers of real estate in Fort Mill were recorded n the office of the county an lij lv.r during the month of January: J. Leonidas Spratt to J. W.

An important seizure i f blockade whiskey was made Sunday I night by Constable T. A- Mills and Messrs B. M. Farts and Chas. Graham, at the hoiue of the in ter j in Gold Hill. For some time past citizens of i (void Hill have known that the "'tigers'1 were passing that way to nud from the Catawba .dam, hut heretofore have been unable to get up with thorn. However, the much longed-Tor o|>portunity presented itself Sunday evening, and the result was that thir y-five gallons of whiskey, a horse, aiul a one- j horse wagon were seized. The capture was brought altout in this way. Late Sunday afternoon two while men drove up to the home of Mr. Graham, 3 miles north of Fort Mill, and asked him , to take eliarge of their team over } night, staling that their horse was completely fagged and was unable | to haul the wagon farther. The \ strangers said they were on their i way to the dam to work nud that the wagon was loaded with tools. Mr. Graham agreed to core for the team and the strangers, after ; offering him a drink of whiakev and assu"iug hint that tney would return Monday and pay hint well for his trouhie, left on foot in the dimotion of the dam. Scarcely had these men passed out of sight when Mr. B. M. Faris rode up to Mr. <i minim's lioiue. The latter related to Mr. Knris the , incident which hml just taken 1 place and expressed his belief that 1 the cargo consisted of whiskey, j The meti thereupon made a search of the wagon and found therein one barrel, one keg. and a box of Husks, all filled with whiskey and ; inclosed in a large goods box ! The men then returned to the 1 house and it was agreed that Mr. (irahum remain at home to guard the whiskey, while Mr. Faris came to town to notify Constable Mills. This plan was carried out and the team and whiskey were brought to town and locked up.

Who &*?*d the Shave Tailed Horse? According to the Waxlinw Enterprise, Mr. J. W. Hall, of Marvin,] says that the papers have tnisrep- ! resented him in saying tliat lie re-j cently drove a horse, with its tail1 closely shaved, through the streets of Port Mill. It was not Mr. Hall, j but another who thus furnished 1 amusement to the people of that ! village. While the report did not originate with the Enterpiise, it was copied in these columns from another pajier, and we gladly make i the eoirection. The above little story first ap- i peared in tilt) Charlotte Observer ! in a eornninnieation from Fort : Mill. It was then published in The Time*?, ami the joke being" of an unusual nature, was copied in a number of papers. If tin* horse I spoken of was not the property of Mr. Hall, The Times takes pleas-I ure in correcting its statement. Bad Weather Ahead. With the close of January, ac- i cording to Rev. Irl K. I neks' almanac for 1!>03. which is one of the leading authorities on weather | forecasts comes the most severe, weather of ,the season. Professor Hicks' calculations have been ic- , markably accurate, and we fear that they will lie too true for our comfort in this instance. He says that February will be noted for for its general bad weather, and that in addition to heavy cold rains, and freezing weather, there' will be snow storms and and all kinds of had weather.

Whitesides, of Edjjemore, CHine in to renew his subscription yesterday morning, says the Rock Mill Herald. He was a uallant soldier of the Confederacy., and the memory of the Dost Cause is dear to his heart. He showed as a memorandum of the number of troops furnished the Confederate armies hy Chester county from 1861 to 18155, as per a statement recently utiven him by Mayor \V. II. Hardin.

The First Hundred Dollars. A rich mini who died not long ago stud that (lie hardest pari of making a fortune was the saving of the tiist hundred (h ilars. That is to say, when a I toy or young mail has succeeded in putting aside one hundred dollars, he has formed the habit of prudence and ocoii- i orny and alter that the way ife easier You hoys who are starting life for yourselves should start ?i hunk account at the same time. It does not matter particuhufj how much you lay aside at first, so that you lav aside something, and do it regularly. The boy who starts in by sp 'tiding every penny he earns will have a hard struggle to compter that hahit, no mailer how large his sal try becomes. And if lie starts by saving a little it will soon he easier to put aside something from his weekly earnings than not to do it. Your bank account may he in significant, viewed merely as a matter of dollars and cents, but it is bigger than it sounds.

I was always tired; with*poorappetite, so t.ired always that I did not feel | equal to any exertion at all. I had enlarged glands on the neck which S were very sore and when I would take cohl they would enlarge and cimuws me much sutfering, 1 often had s|s'lls of inflammatory rheumatism which alfected the whole of my i!x?*y and rendered me helpless. I tried medical treatment, which would give temporary relief, hut it did not cure me. I tried vurious patent preparations, but they did me no-jrood. At last a friend per, suudud Jue to use Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy : : I W'lgVit a half -dozen bottles, and taking it I felt so much better 1 that I did not feel like taking any more. The next year in the spring I knew 1 needed more and again took a half-dozen. I took it in that way until it has made a complete .curt of me and my health is tine. The enlarged glands are entirely cured, rheumatism entirely cured, and I am now in stout, robust health, ami I advise, everybody who needs a tonic or are "run down" to use Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy.
