Reaves, who a short time ago resigned the pastorate of the Fort Mill Baptist church to accept the charge at Honea Path, will preach his farewell sermon in this city next Sunday evening at 7:30. Work is progressing rapidly on the handsome new manse which the congregation of the Pineville Presbyterian church is erecting for their pastor, the Rev. Mr. Bothwick. Mr. Samuel Lindsey, who has been a sergeant at the penitentiary farm near Columbia for ten years, has been given the superintendency of the York chaingang, and began his duties as such one day the past week. Deputy SMeriff S. N. Haley, of Elberton, Ga., came to Fort Mill on Tuesday of last week for Henry Hall, a negro wanted in the Georgia city upon the charge of assault and battery with intent to kill and who was arrested here by Officer V. D. Potts. Miss Maggie Gannon, sister of Mrs. S. A. Epps, is teaching this session in the public schools of Spartanburg.

Mr. John McClelland, for a year or more a popular salesman in the store of Meacham & Epps, left Thursday evening for Spencer, N. C., where he has accepted the position of secretary of the Spencer branch of the North Carolina Y. M. C. A. Mr. McClelland is a young man of sterling character and his host of friends here hope much success for him in his new position. The following young women from this township went before the county board of education at Yorkville Friday and received certificates to teach in the county during the term of 1909-10: Misses Kate Ardrey, Johnsie Miller, Annie Florence - Faris. Miss Carolene Carothers, MHHHMHHHflftfewas among f?r teachers' Wr McLees, evangelist for the Presbyterian church in South Carolina, has received a call to a Virginia church. Mr. McLees is well known in this community and there are many who will regret to learn that he probably will accept the call. Mr. McLees was married in Fort Mill a few years ago to Miss Julia, third daughter of the late Rev. J. H. Thornwell, D. D., and he and Mrs. McLees now reside in Greenwood. In The Times this issue appears the advertisement of the Hastings Furniture Company, a well known Rock Hill establishment. The Hastings people have been in business in Rock Hill for ten years or more and during that period have built up a reputation for honesty and fair dealing which is attained by few A - ? 1 . concerns. Any 01 our people who desire to deal with this firm may rest assured that they will receive only the best treatment and that there will be no room to regret having traded with fhem. Invitations were eceived here the past week to the marriage of Mr. James D. Fulp, of Winnsboro, and Miss Daisy Gertrude Wilson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. M. Wilson, of Ridgeway. The marriage, as announced in The Times several weeks ago, will take place at Ridsrewav Bautist church the evening of October 14. The Fort Mill Light Infantry, Lieut. S. W. Parks commanding, left in a special car yesterday morning for Yorkville, at which point the company detrained and with five other companies marched through the country to King's Mountain battleground, 15 miles away, to take part today in the dedication of the government monument. As a result of the investigation by Sheriff Hunter, of Lancaster, of the shot fired supposedly at the automoblie of Col. Leroy Springs, in which he and Capt. 1 S. E. White were out riding a few evenings ago, it has been determined that the shooting was not intended as an attack upon either Col. Springs or Capt. White, but was directed at a dog near the road along which they were traveling. It is stated, however, that some of ! the country people north of : Lancaster are so bitterly opj posed to automobiles that recently a bridge in the public road was torn up and logs placed across the road as a hindrance to the operation of these maj chines through that vicinity. New Home for "The Times." Work was begun yesterday on a building, on Booth street, near the corner of Main, into which : The Times will move as soon as j the building is completed. The ! office now being used by The If m?,. * > t ? ? ?? < 1 nmcs is inadequate to tne needs j of the paper, both in floor space j and inaccessibility, and it is with 1 pleasure the management looks ,f, forward to the removal to larger J and more desirable quarters. It is the purpose of The Times to .< install a modern cylinder press j for the use of the paper shortly ' after it is established in its new home and to make the paper all 1 home print, thereby increasing; its usefulness and interest to the, 1 people of this section. As soon 1 \ as the new press arrives and ] begins to run smoothly it is also r the intention of the management j of The Times to introduce fea- ( tures in the paper which it" is f hoped will add to its interest as t a paper for the entire people of; 1 York county. Already The i Times is one of the most widely . quoted papers in South Carolina, and if it is not now one of the best "dollar papers" in the State, as some of its friends state, it is the purpose of the management *. to make it so good that few will ' doubt the truthfulness of the statement. t Another Babe in Heaven. Sometimes in the April-kissed ^ springtime, the little flower we welcome as the snowdrop, droops } and dies, but its delicate face ? has inspired us to hope, and perfumed our life with thoughts of purity. It was even so with \ "our baby" ?the tiny blossom of . humanity that came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Meachain, Of Olir Oit.V TVin Clinclilnn . j . *??V uuiioilllig Wi j 1 love could not warm her to life i nor the affection of parenthood beguile her from drooping. Her J breath went out like the exhala- i tion of a sweetly fragrant minion J 1 of the wooland and in her stead was left only a holy and beauti- i ful memory?a memory that will < last and sancitify as long as parental existence. Little Margaret Meacham died Thursday ; evening, just as the shadows . of night were enfolding the day. ' The small body was laid to rest in our cemetery by hands that had tried to make her young 1 life happy.

Inez Smith and Ann' _ oat fo Winthrop last week. We hoard a couple of Rents discussing the hnn times recently. It was the nunc old song are hav. heard for lo. these many moons, and now we wil relate nn incident of our boyhood days, and whet we first remember to have heard that word, o words, used and the circumstances that led ti their use, the men that used them. It was in 1848 54 years ago?a time which all old reople will ro member as a distressingly dry season. Crops wen very short in this county. We were (men livin? Jown on Sugar Creek, near liarrisburg Mills. am Sam'l Blue, one of the parties mentioned above lived near Little York. Win. Scmbler. the othci man. lived just over the creek in Lancaster coun Ly. Now, it seems that Blue was overstocked with hogs, or pigs, and was selling them cheap We happened at Blue'o one day and while then Sembler rode up with an ear of corn i;i his ham ind told Blue he had cotne after a pig. The pit was caught and passed over to Senible. Blue tool the com and remarked that it was devilish hart, times when a fellow could get but one ear of corn for a pig. und Scmbler remarked that it w oukt bi ievilish hard times with that pig. too, for he wai unking nothing to feed it on. 'l'hat was the birtl >f the words, 'hard times,"- with us. Just hcr< ive will say that we were once a citizen of l.ittli fork, the town spoken of in The Times some tinn lincc. and I think wc lived in the finest house ii Lhe city. It had a big cellar under it. One Jame. Johnson had a store, the only one in the city There was n man by the name of Clark who run : \ store just Over the crock at Harrisburg. Whil< living in this city we remember our father had i jet coon which run loose in day time but at nigh arms lied up. One night Mr. Coon got loore urn went on a raid to Uncle Jack KitnlircH's, about ) luilf mile away. and. getting into the lien house tilled eleven hens before ho v.-as ousted. Tin logs were put on his track and run him home inl< Mir yard and there killed him. But to the hard times again. With the axcep rion 01 me tnreu years we were in the war, On lmus have been much the mime with us. It k :ru? that for some months after we not home fron \pi>omattox our path was not strewn with roses for grub was scarce and we had no money. Th< irst ten cents we Rot hold of was a present fron m old uncle, which he gave us for seed, and \v< mve managed to keep in seed, but very little a ;he time. But the times have been much On uime with us. We have always thought tha line-tenths of the trouble and hard times we linvi lore we bring on ourselves by our wrong-doin: utd bad management.
