The first snowfall of the winter of 1910-'ll in this section came Saturday afternoon and lasted for an hour. The snow melted as fast as it fell, however, greatly to the disappointment of all the little boys and girls who were anxious for the pleasure of a little snow-balling and sleighing. Mrs. Margaret Lynn, mother of J. \V. Lynn, died at the home of her son "Tuesday evening after a long illness. Mrs. Lynn was reared in the Crowder's Mountain section of the county and was 72 years of age. She was a member of the A. R. P. church. The interment was in the Fort Mill cemetery yesterday afternoon. Miss Daisy Young, niece of Mr. A. A. Young, of Fort Mill, died at the home of her sister, Mrs. J. C. Williams, in Charlotte last Wednesday night of apoplexy after an illness of 24 hours. Miss Young was* a daughter of the late Richard Young, who moved from Fort Mill to Lancaster 20-odd years ago. She was about 38years of age. The interment was in Lancaster. The Times has received a copy of "Under the Lamp With 'Ben Hope,'" a little book containing many interesting stories of rural life. The author is James Stanhope Love, a "shut-in," whose home is at Filbert, in York coun ty. It sells for 50 cents the copy. The book is not only worth tho subscription price, but those who buy it will have the pleasure of aiding a young man who is struggling against great odds to support himself. Mr. John D. McClellan, a former Fort Mill young man, left Tuesday morning for Houston, Tex., to accept a tentative position as assistant secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in that city. If he is pleased with the work and life in the Lone Star State, he will accept the position permanently; otherwise he will return to Charlotte in a few weeks and resume the Y. M. C. A. work he has been engaged in there for several years. The proposition to open a new road from a i>oint near Fort Mill to the home of Mr. Osmond Barber, four miles from town in Lancaster county, is again being agitated after a lapse of several months. The opening of the road, which would prove of great convenience to many people in Mr. Barber's section and shorten the distance between Fort Mill and Charlotte by about 2 miles, would necessitate the bridging of Sugar creek. The Lancaster county authorities seem willing to bear half the expense of building the bridge, but the York authorities do not seem inclined to help in the undertaking. School Trustees to Petition Council. At the March meeting of the Fort Mill town council application will be made by the trustees of the local graded school for the privilege of renting the auditorium of the school building for entertainment purposes without j the usual license fee heing collected by the town. The trus- j tees desire to raise money with which to purchase a new piano for the use of the school and think that if the license is remitted they may he able to induce a class of entertainments to come to Fort Mill which have heretofore passed the town by rather than pay the privilege tax and thereby pay for the piano. One of the trustees of the school says that a majority of the members of council have signified their intention of agreeing to the oetition: but Tuo.vuhiv mumimr n member of council remarked that he did not care to commit himself to the proposition in advance of hearing in detail what the trustees wish. According to the councilman, the town hall brings in very little revenue with a monopoly on the entertainment business of Fort Mill. "If the school is allowed to compete with the town and offer.the advantage of no privilege tax, the town will derive no revenue whatever from I the hall," said the councilman. * 1 " i We Do Not Claim To have better Garden Seed than anybody, but we have a larger and better selection and they were bought fresh.
