Fort Mill Man Writes From Texas.
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.

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.

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.
