church Messrs. J. M.

appointed commissioners to the

?The "Gypsy Queen," a
drama in four acts, will be presented
in the town hall tomorrow
(Friday) evening by the local

efforts of home talent, as the
proceeds^are to go to help reseat
the hall, a large crowd
should be present.
?As a result of an All Fool's
day ioke participated in by over
3(H) Clemson cadets, 49 of the j
young men have been dismissed

is likely that more dismissals will
follow. The charge against the
cadets is that in disobedience to
the rules of the school they left
the institution April 1st and
spent the day in the woods.

busy day in the sales of real estate
in Fort Mill. Mrs. J. H.

Thompson property on East

it is understood, will move at
once to her newly acquired

will repair the Thompson house

known his acceptance of the call
extended to him some days ago

Hafner will be able to enter
upon his duties here, but it is the
hope of the congregation that he

pulpit of the church on the fourth
Sunday of this month.
Mr. Hafner's acceptance of the
call is a source of much pleasure
here, and all eagerly await his
coming.
