Monday was St. Valentine's day and the local postoffice did a swell business passing out the missives which passed through the mails as an incident to the observance of the day.

Starr, architect, of Rock hill, has prepared plans for the remodeling of the residence of V. B. Blankenship on Booth street and work on the building 1 will begin in the spring.

The Peoples National bank, of Rock Hill, is making a generous offer of a $20 cash prize to the boy or girl who will form the greatest number of words from the letters in the name of their institution. This is an offer which should prove attractive to all the boys and girls of this section, for it not only holds out the inducement of winning a substantial prize but will be the l means of acquainting all who enter the contest with man> words which are now unknown to them. The conditions of the contest appear in another column of The Times this week. ^ /. . ... ' v ' ' \ . May Paroled by Covernor Ansel.
