B SHORT ITEMS of INTEREST to TIMES READERS. I : . if * Rev. S. Hair and family will leave Monday for a stay of a week in Blackville. The first snow of the fall fell j in this section Sunday. Monday ! morning the housetops were! white with the snow. P. S. Hagler arifr Miss Cassie Pinyan, of Charlotte, were married Monday evening by Magistrate J. VV. McElhaney. Rev. W. A. Hafner and family left Monday morning for Sharon. this county, to spend the holidays at the home of Mrs. Hafner's mother, Mrs. Shannon. Among the visitors expected to spend the holidays here are Rev. Edw. S. Reaves and family and Mr. T. B. Meacham and family, of Honea Path and Greenwood, respectively. After several years' of effort, the Fort Mill football eleven won its first game Saturday afternoon in a contest with Prof. J. Harvey YVitherspoon's Yorkville team on the local gridiron. The score was 10 to 0 in favor of the Fort Mill boys. The public roads in this section ' have been heavy for the last few days from the recent ru ns, hut in better condition than they have heretofore been at this season', thanks to the splendid work which has been done on them under the new road law. The Christmas holidays will be : observed at both the upper and : lower mills of the Fort Mill Mfg. Co. by suspension of work this afternoon. Work will be re sumed at the mills Monday morning. The New Year's holiday will not be observed by this company. 1 Work at the local graded school will be suspended for the Christmas holidays this morning and will not be resumed until the morning of the 4th of January. Interesting exercises are to be held at i lie school this morning and Superintendent Bauknight cauiim:< a a>uum iiivuauun U) the friends and patrons of the school to be present. Officers of Fort Mill lodge No. 60, 1. O. O. F., for the year 1910 were elected last Wednesday night as follows: W. A. Roach, noble grand; C. F. Rogers, Jr., vice grand; B. C. Ferguson, secretary; R. P. Harris, treasurer: J. II. Barnhill, outside sentinel. The appointive officers of the lodge will be announced at the next regular meeting, Wednesday, January 5. At a meeting Thursday afternoon of the directors of the recently organized Pineville Loan and Savings bank officers of the institution were elected follows: W. M. Ross, president; W'. M. Morrow, vice president; W. H. Fuller, cashier. As was announced in The Times last week, the bank will begin 1 business .as soon as the building which it is to erect as a home can 1 be.put Up. The improvements made at the Fort Mill Presbyterian church during the last few weeks add materially to both the beauty , and comfort of the building. At a cost .of several hu#l red dollars | a new roof has been put on the building and considerable repair work done on the interior, besides the installation of the new stained windows. The churchyard has also been greatly improved by trimming the trees. The annual meeting of the j Mate reacners' Association of South Carolina will be held in Columbia on December 30-31 and January 1. An interesting pro-1 gram, which doubtless will prove helpful to the many teachers who are expected to be present at the sessions of the association, has ! been prepared. The meeting J will be attended by two of the ! teachers of the Fort Mill graded school. Supt. L. M. Hank night and Miss Minnie Yarborough. The ladies of the congregation of Pleasant Hill Methodist church wish the public to know that a Christmas dinner and supper will be served in the church building Monday afternoon, the 27th, from 3 to 7:30 o'clock. The money the ladies thus succeed in raising will be used to make some necessary repairs to the interior of the church and it is hoped that they will be liberally I patronized. Pleasant Hill church is four miles east of Fort IV*ill in the Pleasant Valley neighborhood. Magistrate's Constable John Coltharp was put to considerable inconvenience last Thursday by a report reaching him that in a fight between two negres on the plantation of Hon. S. H. Epps in Gold Hill one had killed the other. It seems that the report was started in a spirit of bravado by the negro who claimed that he did the killing. When the constable arrived at the home of the reputed murderer, the negro was in the yard washing hisface?which incident helped some.

The Dixie Hardware company i name under which a branch [? ol" the *fi?m of McElhaney & Co. will do business in one of the new -Belk store buildings now ' being erected on Main street. It is the purpose of the Dixie Hard ware com piiny to carry a com-| plete stock of hardware and crockery. * Much of the trade in these lines has either gone away from Fort Mill heretofore or the public has gone without such supplies because of the inconvenience in securing them. Tiioie is little doubt that such an .enterprise will prove profitable i its promoters and at the same time be a source of convenience to the public the lack of which has been felt often in the past.
