It has since been learned that a gentleman from Waxhaw, N. C., will put in the exchange at Pineville. The annual sermon to the Fort Mill Light Infantry was delivered Sunday by Rev. Edw. S. Reeves from the pulpit of .the Baptist church. A large audience listened to the sermon, which was very interesting and appropriate / to the occasion. The Fort Mill friends of Mr. ( .< Ward W. Pegram, who for thet V past year has been employed as* baggageman for the Southern Railway at Chester, will be in- * terested to know that he has 1 accepted a more lucrative pasision with the L. & C. Railroad 1 at Lancaster. Mr. Jno. W. Elms, who had his leg broken in a accident at Great Falls about three months ago, returned to his home here some days ago. Mr. Elms is able with the assistance of crutches to be about his home,' but it will be some weeks yet before he will have regained normal use of his injured member.-I In response to requests from many who were unable to hear "The Deacon" a few nights ago, Prof, Witherspoon, the manager, has consented to give a second rendition of the play next Tuesday evening, the 24th. The proceeds will go to the fund of the local tennis club. In response to a telegram received Monday evening, Mrs. L. P. Fulp left Tuesday morning to attend the funeral service at Concord, N.

The corps of teacher i are J. H. Witherspoon, principal* and Misses Nan and Julia Thorn, well, Minnie Garrison and Wrem? Harris, assistants. A change of schedule which? will be of much benefit to th^ people of this section will go into effect on Sunday, April 29th. , The early morning train, No. 27, which now gets away from Charlotte at 5.45 a. m. will ar- ( rive here at 6.20, instead of 6.40, as at present. This change will j be made principally to enable this ^ train to connect at Rock Hill with the train for Camden, Kingville and Lancaster. The closing exercises at Gold Hill Academy will begin this evening. At 8 o'clock the primary department will have its exercises, at which time Rev. J. S.

The second alternates are George Warren of Clemson College and R. B. Simmons, Jr., of Charlesten.

Darnell, who was a patient at the Presbyterian Hospital, Charlotte, has returned to his home east of town, and while much improved, still has a very sore eye. Mrs. Susan Richardson, an aged .lady, di^d Monday night at the honie of her daughter, Mrs. Sallie Stewart, on East Booth street. Mrs. Richardson was about 75 years of age, and had been ill for only a short time. Death was due to measles. The Dunai took place Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock at the town cemetery. In the case of the State vs. J. M. Gamble, charged with the ^ jiiurder of F. N. Edwards, which I I was called at "Xjeffkyille Tuesday, JL " the defendant wSs acquitted. case went befor? the grand I jury, who returned* a true bill, but when several witnesses had been examined it was found that the killing was purely in selfdefence, and to save the time and expense of the trial, the prisoner was released Mr. J. S. McKibben, an employe 6f the Millfort Mill, undoubtedly holds the championship of this section for weaving. . during the two weeks ending Saturday last, Mr. McKibben established a record, which in ill probability will not be broken For some time, by producing from 12looms 163 cuts (bolts) of cloth. For*the two weeks prior to this? fchat'ending March 31?he succeeded in taking from the same number of looms 147 1-4 cuts. The scale of wages at the mill is 30 eenls per cut, and, with a little figuring, it will be seen that Mr. McKibben has mado in t.hp past 24 days $62.05, or an average ofi about $2.60 per day. This is ail excellent record. Chester Again Victimized by Fakir. n response to a query from an 1 iifcividual in this city, says the j CMester Lantern, the Curtis1 Publishing Company, of PhiladMphia, have written that they Klow nothing whate ver about! t? young man who was in this c?v a few weeks ago soliciting sAscriptions for the Saturday Elening Post and several other pAiodicals. The man is without dcmbt an impostor, and the.Curtis PAlishing Co. do not hesitate ablut proclaiming him as such. Th^y furthermore offer a reward of twenty-five dollars for his arrest with proof to convict. It seems from what the Yorkville Enquirer says that this same young man has visited Yorkville and defrauded many citizens. He is doubtless still at work at no great distance, for this game is a fruitful one, and some one who reads this notice may have an opportunity to effect his arrest. The Town of West End, N. C. TT1J j _ iMiiior i imes:?Kindly give me Space in your excellent paper far a few dots. This little town, West End, is in Union county, N. C., 8 miles from a railroad. There is one nice residence here with slate roof. There is going to be built ah up-to-date ginnery here this summer by McKain, of Waxhaw, Ny C. F. S. Crane and sons are going to build an up-to-date store this summer. Several houses have recently been beautified by W. W. Alexander, the well known painter of this section. The people here hope to have a railroad in a few years. On account of the United Confederate Veterans Reunion, April 25-27, the Southern Railway will ; sell tickets to New Orleans, La., ! at extremely low rates from prominent points, a few of which nrp r> ci m & A Knlniir. ^ *tuiavu UtiUW Columbia 14.70 Chester 14.70 Rock Hill 15.15 Equally low rates from other points.

Finney, of Erie, Pa, painted his honse Devoe, perhaps two or three years ago?the tale don't tell when?tlio painter objected, but Finney insisted. Two neighbors of Pinnoy's have painted since: one lead and-0il, the other some other paint, don't know what. Bnt officer Finney lives in the nicest painted honse of the three The rest of tho story we don't know: what it cost the three to paint.
