Miss Virginia Hamilton returned
Sunday evening from a
visit of several weeks at the
home of her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. R. W. Hamilton, in Union.
Announcement has been made
that Rev. J. C. Spinks, formerly
a resident of this township, will
preach at the Methodist church
here next Sunday evening. Mr.

church at Rockton.
The census bureau's cotton report
issued Monday places the |
number of bales ginned to Janu'
ary 16 from the 1909 crop at
9,792,990. as .compared with
12,666,209 bales to the same date
last year. The report had little
effect on the market.

reside in Gold Hill. Mr. Crook
? is at present engaged in the real
estate business. ^
Mrs. J. Z. Bailes, of Pleasant
Valley, whose serious illness
was noted in The Times last
week, was taken to a hospital
in Charlotte Friday for treatment.
Last reports from Mrs.
Bailes' bedside indicated little
change in her condition.
A bill requiring dealers in
dynamite and other explosives,
except ordinary gun powder, to
pay an annual license of $500 has
been introduced in the Legisla
ture by Senator Louis Appelt.
The bill also requires all persons
selling such explosives to keep a
record of such sales.
K. Shannon, the public cotton
weigher, finds little work
nowadays in the discharge of his
duties. There is very little cotton
in the hands of the farmers of
' ? this section and those who
i possess any of the staple are not
disposed to sell at present, for
the reason, it is supposed, they
don't need the money.
Miss Eloise Martin, of Hawkinsville,
Ga., is a guest at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. W. B.
Ardrey. Miss Martin is returning
to her home after an extended
sight-seeing trip to the principal
cities of the North. She and Mrs.
Ardrey were college-mates at
Agnes Scott institute, Decatur,
Ga., some years ago.

mmet nf MIGO 1
(^uvuk vx muu ml ltl\, illlSS
South and Miss Kirkpatrick are
teachers at Winthrop and Miss
McMullin is the secretary to
President Johnson.
The rains of the last few days
have further interfered with the
farm work which is usually under
way in this section at this season
of the year. Since the first of
the year the ground has been
frozen a greater part of the time,
making it impracticable to push
the work of preparation for the
spring planting, and the result
is that many farmers find the
second month of the year almost
upon them with the work they
had hoped to do during January
undone.
Fort Mill continues to maintain
the reputation which the town
has long enjoyed as the Gretna
Green for a large number of
North Carolina couples on mar
riag?' oeiu, some 01 vvnom come
hero to be made husband and
wife to escape the jurisdiction of
parental objection, while others
seek the hospitality of the place
and the services of the law officers
or ministers for the satisfaction
of being able to say to
their friends that they were married
in the best State in the Union
""t and the bestest best town in that
State. The latest couple to be 1
accommodated here was Coy
Small and Miss Gertie Reed, both
of Concord, N. C. These young
people arrived on train No. 29
Sunday morning and within a
few hours were joined for better
or for worse by Magistrate Me-1
Elhaney.
Mrs. Mary Ardrey, of Charlotte,.
is on u visit to her daughter,
Mrs. J. L. Spratt.
The infant daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Fred Klmbrell has
been seriously ill for some days
at the home of its parents on
Clebourn street.
Miss Lillie Massey returned to
her home in this place Tuesday
afternoon, after a pleasant visit
of several days to Miss Beckie
Lyles in Winnsboro.
Quite a number of people in
this section have seen the comet
which appeared in the heavens
a few evenings ago. Tuesday
evening the comet was visible at
(5:30 o'clock, but within a few
minutes had faded from view.
Rev. W. A. Hafner, pastor of
Fort tMill Presbyterian church,
went to Sharon, this county,
Saturday to assist in the installation
Sunday of Rev. W. B.
Arrowood to the pastorate of
Woodlawn church.
Work in one or more of the
departments of the graded school
is being interfered with by
measles among the children.
The disease is of a mild form,
however, and none of the children
has been seriously ill from
it.
There is more water in Cataw- j
ba river at present than there
has been for several months, due
to the heavy rains of the last
few days in the watershed of
the river in the mountains of
North Carolina. Some weeks
ago the fear was expressed that
the low stage of water would
interfere with the electric power
plants of the Southern Power
company, but there is now no
apparent danger of such a contingent.
R. E. Parks, former prescription
clerk for the Ardrey drug
firm in this place, is now located
at Culpeper, Va. Mr. Parks, in
a recent letter to a relative here,
states that this winter has been
one of the hardest the Old
Dominion has experienced in
years and that there will be little
business for the ice dealer? in
that section next summer,
judging from the amount of ice
which has been harvested since
the freezes of the winter began.
anua -A meeting of r'ort Mill
Chapter, No. 4, 0. E. S., will be
held tonight, at which the installation
of officers will take place. All
