town have not failed to express
their displeasure and discomfort
over the offensive odors which
have arisen from decaying weeds
and grass which were recently
thrown into White street by the
street cleaning force.
There was an agonizing discord
of sound on Main street for several
hours Thursday when a negro
brass band that knew more
about making a noise than it did
about making music entertained
many small boys and a number
of grown-ups.
During the thunderstorm last
Thursday afternoon, lightning
struck a tenant house on the
plantation of Capt. S. E. White,
a mile north of town, and completely

County Supervisor Clem F.

error in the vote which
Mr. Boyd received in the first
primary. His vote was given as
978; it should have been 1,518.

jYORKVILLE MONUMENT WORKS
(The Old Reliable)
YORKVILLE, S. C.
/ Monument dealers the country over
carry practically the same line of designs,
and usually the customer must

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 i
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 our experience we endeavor to
work out an original design, which in
the completed monument reflects the
