This is the .threshing season, when the little portable engine J^.1 ? i aiiu ?.no icn, uusi-uoverwi uiresners may be seen almost any day in any grain-growing community. The men who follow the thresher and run it, are always interesting. They wear sweaty overalls and are literally coated with dust. They sleep in the straw and eat the farmer's good rations. In the country it is considered quite a treat to be a thresher hand. By far the closest game of the season on the local diamend was played Tuesday afternoon between the Y. M. C. A'8 of Charlotte and the Fort Mill team. Neither team scored until the third inning, when a Fort Mill player made a wild throw and nnp ftf f H O uioi'trtVC ? > .?V w * v<?v VIOIWUIO UI UddCll Lilt" home plate.

By far the most enjoyable and most largely attended of any of the union picnics held here was that of Tuesday in the beautiful grove at the graded school. The day was an ideal picnic day and by 10 o'clock the picnicers began to assemble. From then until 1 o'clock the people continued to arrive, not only from the town and surrounding communty, but from the entire county and adjoining sections of Mecklenburg. There was a continuous peal of laughter which showed the sentiment and disposition of the crowd. On all sides, resting leisurely in the shade of the great oaks, all were imbued with the spirit of merriment, i At 11 o'clock Mr. W. F. Harris, the general manager, made the announcements of the contests, tournameht and ball game which were the principal features of the occasion. The tournament was run at Stewart's gin-house at 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon. At 2:00 o'clock an elegant dinner was served in the grove. There was an abundance of everything and the vegetable soup and barbecued meat, which was delightfully prepared by Mr. K. Shannon, was an important addition to the regular picnic dinner. There was an estimated crowd of 1,000 people at dinner. After dinner the contests were held with the following results: Girls' hoop-race, prize 50 cents, won by little Miss Olive Harris; boys' hoop-race, prize 50 cents, won by Carl Whitesell; bag race, open to small boy3, prize $1, carried off by George Hall; obsta-1 eld race, prize $1, captured by Robert Gihat* lndioa' I bajrow race won by Mrs. L.
