The "matrimony disease,1' as
Josh Hillings was accustomed to
aay, is violently prevalent iu all
sections of the cotnry. and victims
to its horrible inroads are being
counted almost daily.
if the cold weath<riu November
is any indication of what the winter

Housekeepers are at a loss to
know just how they are going to
get eggs for the Xmas footing.
A do*eu eggs are good for 25 cents
at present, but even at this price,
we have never known as few to be
brought to maiket at this season
of the year.
Just how many canidates will
b? in the field next fall for the
various county offices cannot now
be said, hut present indications
are that "the woods will l>e full of
'em." We hear that at leant two
Fort Milliaus will be in the race.
Mr. Lou A. Harris, manager of
the "'Company Store," who has
been in ill health for several
months, is now receiving medical
treatment at St. Peter's Hospital
in Charlotte. His brother, Mr.
Robt. Harris, went to Charlotte
Sunday to spend the day with h ni.
Persons who were appointed to
receive suliscripti 'iiH for the Hamp
ton Monument Fund are requested
to forward the funds in hand to
Col. J. Q. Marshall, treasurer of
the Hampton Monument Committee,
Columbia, S. C? on or before
D> oeuiber 20.
Everybody in tliia section is invited
to come to Fort Mill to b y
their Christmas goods. Our m?-rchants
have laid in larger stocks
than ever before, and, with the
great care exercised in buying, feel
confident that no one can go away
and say they could not be suited
in a present.
That the Catawba Power Company
is tearing the completion of
its plant, large numbers of its
employees are said to be leaving
the works and bunting places elsewhere.
A big power plant is in
course of construction near Carlisle,
8. C., and a number of peo
pie left here recently to work at
at that place.
One of The Times fa- me; friends
has during the past week replenished
the editor's wood pile with a
cord of good wood. As our friend
has not called for his money, we
take it that he wishes the price
credited on his subscription, but
we would like to have the gentleman's
name in order to place the
credit where it properly belongs.
