Editor Fort Mill Times: I often think of my army com- | rades, relatives and friends in Fort Mill, more so when I read The Times and discover the passing away of the citizens of my old home, and among them now and then an old Confederate soldier. But so it must be?one by * one the old landmarks must pass j away and give place for the newgeneration, just like the clearing of new land and throwing away of the oid; and the first thing you know the old land will hqive < a fine growth of new timber on it. 1 1- - f <* ! tveii, my menus, 11 any oi you . doubt that we are having hot ' and dry weather in Texas, come ( and see for yourself. In many sections corn is short and cotton from a half to two-thirds of a 1 crop. In my neighborhood, corn is very good, but not a full crop. I My boys will finish gathering corn today and will have plenty. ? I have sold two bales of cotton. I trust some of my old South t Carolina friends will save me an oven of sweet potatoes, as my crop is an absolute failure. Good for old York county that 1 the people favor local option. . I wish all my iriends a bounti- ' ful harvest this fall. H. F. Johnston. ? Rockdale, Tex., Aug. 26. I YORKVILLE MONUMENT WORKS t (The Old Reliable) YORKVILLE, S. C. t Monument dealers the country over i carry practically the same line of designs, and usually the customer must take not what he wants, but the near- < est thing he can find to it in the list * submitted. Or in other words, he must take one ] of the regular stock designs and consequently gets a duplicate of hundreds of other monuments already erected and . exactly alike except possibly in the quality of the work and material. ( We make a specialty of giving our customers exactly what they want; taking their ideas and combining them with nnr pvnuri?n/?u + work out an original design, which in the completed monument reflects the taste and individuality of the purihaser. If you want something above the ; average, let us make it tor you. It will cost you no more than the ordinary t kind. .JOHN E. CARROLL, Pres. and Treas. ^ Carhartt Roller Mill Running. 1 The report that the Carhartt Roller Mill (formerly Jones' mill) on Catawba river, two miles from Fort Mill, had closed down and that the use of the } ferry has been discontinued as a result of the recent death of the colored man who was the miller and ferryman, .is erroneous. The mill is running daily I and is prepared to grind the community's wheat and corn, as usual.
