after a visit to Mrs. T. B. Meacham.
of this place.
The ladies of the town should
not forget t he'meeting of the"Gasteru
Star" at the town hall this
(Thursday) night.
You have until the 20th of February
to mak your tax returns.
Better do so in time to avoid the
fifty per ceut penalty.
The rural mail carriers are having
a tough job of making their
twenty tive miles a day in the
present eonditior. of the roads.
M's. P D. Leonard, of Lynawood.
N. C. and Mrs Beu Armstrong
of S|iencer, N. O.. spent
several days of the past week with
relative* in the township.
On account of unavoidadle circnnistwnces,
the dinner that was to
have been given Saturday by the
Veterans to the U D. C's. has
been postponed until March 10th.
The fourth annual meeting of
South Carolina Live Stock Vseociatiou
will lie held in Columbia
on the Slh and 9th inst. An interesting
programme haw beeu arranged
for the ocasioti.
Thursday the 22nd being Washington's
birthday, there will be
no mail delivered on the rural
rotiten from this ulace. The local
postoffiee will observe Sunday
hours, and the Savings Bank will
transact no business on thai day.
There is lieiug made a great
deal of complaint by some of the
dot: owners about that extra tax of
tifiy cents for each dog. It goes
rat her hard to be compelled to pay
n half dollar for a worthless cur,
but the law must be respected. It
is a good law, if properly enforced.
Tn order to make more plain a
statement which appeared in these
columns last week we will say that
it was Mrs. A. A. Bradford, Jr., of
Columbia, to whom we had reference
ttfl being dangerously ill and
not Mrs. A. A. Bradford, Sr., of
Fort Mill, as some, we hear, have
been led to tielieve.
There are doubtless some who
have not made their tax returns
and yet there are but six more
days in which the returns may be
made without heavy penalty, the
time expiring on the 20th instant.
Those who have not already done
so had better attend to this matter
ut once.
Mr. L. J. Mnssey a few days
ago presented his customers with
very handsome celeudars for the
year. The calendars beHr a picture
in colors iHiirnsBiilitii* o Immoai
# - *5 ' mu*?COV
flceiii' in which women as well as
men are engaged in "making hay
while the nun whines." The calendar
is very attractive.
Railroad officiala any that the
touriat travel this year is not ae
heavy as it usually is. The plenaant
weather tlie people up North
have been I avitig has caused many
to remain there this yenr. The
cold wave, however, that is now
sweeping over the country will
cause a rush to this seotion,
and the railroads are preparing
to handle increased business.
The advnnce in prices in all
kinds of provisions should cause a
large increase in home-raised prodnets
for man and beast. Our people
made plenty of provisions during
the civil war became it was a
necessity It can be done again. If
provisions are made at home, so
far as possible, the money for the
cotton crop will not have to be
sent to the west to pay for meat,
lard, corn, flour, oats, etc.
The postoffice dopnituient threatens
to discoutii ' 4 rural mail
routes whore the small quantity of
mail carried indicated that the
routes are not needed. Now let
the people nlong the routes get
busy and increase the tnail matter.
They can increase it souie by
flooding The Tunes frequent letters
with the neighborhood news,
and by sending checks and money
orders tor subscription. A word to
the wise is sufficient.
Nothing adds so much to the
hnppiness of the home as good
music and good rending matter,
and a willingness and readiness of
the family to take part in either or
both of them. Home must be miserable
where nothing but the claptrap
of neighborhood gossip is
heard from day to day hikI from
week to week. Whenever the home
is not made pleasant for the children
tlmy are apt to soek for pleasure
els?'where?and the end is bett?r
imagined than described.
Would thai all parents fully realized
the truth of this assertion.

At a meeting of the town council
Friday evening the following
gentlemen ware appointed members
of the lt?cal board of healih
for the year: K. Shannon, J. H.
Patterson, J. H. Bnilea, D. N.
Gaston, Dr. J. B. Elliott.
Postmaster 1>. H. Massey 1ms
issued notices to patrons of the
rural free delivery routes calling
attention to the order of the department
requiring each pat*on to
place on his mail box the number
assigned by the postmaster.
It is seldom that one 6ees the
trains from tl?e south come in covered
with snqrw, but such was the
case VVednssoMy of the past week.
It is also a peculiar fact that considerable
suow fell nt points b?tween
Rook Hill and Columbia,
while at this place there whs none
at all.
The attention of the citizens of
the town is called to the notice
published in another column by
tbe council relating to the runnirtg
at large of stock, cattle and hogs.
Many boys, in taking cows to and
from pastures, allow tbe animals
to walk on the pavements, and as
this is a violation of the ordinuuce,
should be dificoutiuued.
This section was again visited
by a sleet storm on Thuasday
though the coating of ice whs
scarcely half as heavy an that of
January 25, *"*1 very little if any;
damage resulted. The reporter's
attention was called to the fact
that exactly one year ago Thursbay
the weather was identically
the same, the trees und other
things exposed to the weather
being covered with ice.
It becomes onr sorrowful duty
this week to chronicle the sad
death of little Mary, youngest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. Ij.
Belk. The child died Thursday
urght of whooping cough, after
having reached the age of only one
year. The little one lmd just reach|
ed that age when it begau to talk
and walk and was therefore the
pet of the family. Grim death,
however, rescind out hia hand
auid plucked a sweet flower from
the bouie o/ loving parents aud
the arms of brother aud sister

man of ability and excellent character,
and the people of WilmingI
ton will find in him a citizen if
real merit and worth.

i went up to Charlotte Wednesday
; to attend the preliminary trial of
John O'Lcary, a negro who waa
! captured near Piueville a few days
