R. Haile has been il! for several weeks at her home on Booth street. Miss Sarah Burke, of Taylorsville, N. C., was the guest* of Mrs. E. M. Belk the last week. Mrs. Hattie Mack spent several days of the last week with Mrs. Janie Stringfellow of Chester. I The best price paid for cotton on the local market yesterda\ was 13 cents. Seed sold for 38 cents. Miss Leila Beik returned Friday from a visit to her sister. Mrs. Lewis Adkins, of Parksvi llo Ton n Mrs. Knox Roach and Miss Florence Thornwell, of Rock Hill, were guests the last week of their sister, Mrs. J. B. Klliult in this city. This season's cotton crop will total 13,975,000 bales, according to estimates complied by the New Orleans Times-Democrat from a canvass in every cotton growing State. Christmas falls this year on Wednesday, which is now only two weeks off. The stores are loaded up with good goods and ^ Old Santa Glaus will not find it hard to supply the little ones. Construction work was begun the last week on the big warehouse being erected by the Fort Mill Mfg. company in the rear of its mill No. 1. The work is . under the supervision of Contractor Z. V. Bradford, of Rock Hill. Mr. C. S. Link, of the firm of Bailes & Link, left Monday morning for Charleston, where he is amending the annual meeting of the State grand lodge of Masons. Mr. Link is representing the Fort Mill lodge in the State meeting. The school teachers of Lancaster county met in the graded school auditorium at Lancaster Saturday morning and organized ^ the Lancaster County Teachers' association. Meetings of the ' association are to be held monthI ly. The Times would call special attention to the big advertisement of McFlhanev & Co. in this issue. This firm is offering some exceptional bargains to the buying public and to visit the store may mean a saving of T several dollars to you. The time for paying State and county taxes expires with March 15th next, but those who wish to escape the penalty will have to come across before the 1st of January. On that date a penal, ty of 1 per cent will be added, and from the 1st of February to the 1st of March, it will be 2 per cent. Between March 1st and 15th, 7 per cent additional will be collected. There are three persons in jail charged with murder awaiting trial, says Monday's Charlotte Observer. \V. H. Bailey was tried in the August term, but an agreement could not be reached by the jury and the case was continued. Ed Davis, charged with killing Bob Sutton recently, and Pat Huntley, charged with killing his wife, are the two negroes awaiting trial. Rev. T. J. White and children left Fort Mill Thursday, the former going '.o his new charge at Harleyville, and the latter to Camden. It is slated that there is a probability of Mr. White being transferred from Harleyville to Johnson, in Edgefield * county, and his children will remain with relatives at Camden I ^ until he is permanently located. ^ John M. Harris, of Pleasant + + Valley, h. s gone W. II. Windle, 111 >f Gold Hill, one better in the - way of turnip growing. Mr. TT vVmdle. it will he remembered, ? sent to The Times office a short time ago a turnip that weighed ? + six and one-half pounds, but Mr. j Harris now comes forward with a purple top turnip which weighs T . exactly seven pounds and ten ft ounces, and says that if this is beaten he will try to dig up a *<j, still larger one. ^ i'f Mrs. Harriet Kimbrell, who, with her children, resides on * + White street, had the niisfor- ^ tune Thursday to fall and break her right, arm just above the . wrist. Mrs. Kimbrell was in the ff back yard at her home when the f accident occurred. Snestumbled > and in attempting to break the j fall threw her entire weight on her right arm with the result as . . stated. Mrs. Kimbrell is sixty- f f odd years of age and her injury f is much more serious than had it * fallen to one of fewer years. * The News of Gold Hill. ^ Fort Mill Times Correspondence. ^ As Gold Hill has not been repre en ted in The Times in quite at. while, we concluded to let you know that we are still kicking-. *4 but not high. We are generally well abound here, I think. ^ We learn that Blackberry Ned, . I who has been living over in Steele Creek, will move to the farm of Will Coltharp the present week.* . Miss Inez Smith has taken a ^ school at the Sutton school house, Miss Myrtle Smith is teaching at . Flint Hill, and Miss Mabel Smith ?? is teaching at Eureka, on the ft Thorn's Ferry road. ?4 The farmers have done a lot *4 f t-.lAii'infr thic full hrpHkinc II wi nn? ? c stubble, sowing oats, etc. Vester Oltharp ju"t plows and m plows and then plows some. He .... is just bad to plow when he can fl ride all the time. Sam Boyd is f4 going to visit relatives in Eastern < North Carolina next week, and Sam had a tat'possum for diniter on Thanksgiving Day, too And he has some as good persimmon beer as you ever stuck >4 your bill in, so, bully for Sam! <$ Mr. Jones, who lives on the ^ Merritt place, will move to North ; Carolina soon. And we hear . thai Uncle Billy \\ indie is hauling logs from over on Steel creek 10 his mill. It seems that he *4 never gets out of a job. No. we ; are wrong there, it is his boys *< who never get idle, for we learn that it is strictly against Uncle Bill's religion to work much. No, he just "stands from under" when he sees it coming his way. M Sam C. Faris has closed up his I year's work, sowed his oats and ? nas gone mto winter quarters. Arthur Faris has been working ^ in Charlotte for some time and ^? will move his family there soon, ]> VV. P. Epps tells us he has made a good crop this year and has it all gathered, and is ready to + take Christmas or any other good thing that comes his way. And now, we learn that our Gold Hill ? clown, Green Bud Smith or Bud Green Smith and the Hon. S. H. Epps have finished gathering + their crops and have turned their ^ whole attention to 'possum hunt ing and are perusing the forest' f for miles in search of same. We j wish them great success, for it is possible we may be invited to a i 'possum dinner soon. So mote ^ it be! C. P. Blankenship, our I tidy farmer, has gathered a fine t icrop and keeps things looking1*; spic and span around him, and C. P. is a great lover of oysters, 74 too. His Honor and this old sin- i f4 i ner had a set up to oysters < twelve years ago and we downed him so completely that he has ^ ! not mentioned oyster to us since. And next we come to Messrs. .4 Wilson & Epps, ginners. They f4 have added a corn mill to their < : plant and are prepared to grind <j>< your corn any day in the week or any hour in the day and it is possible that they may grind your first grist toll free, hut we will ? not warrant that. And now, we * are at VV. H. Crook's. He runs * a gin, but has no mill, but has ^ the corn and also a nice squad of consumers. Our next man is B. M. Faris. His son, Price, ? left home on the 3rd inst. with his father's wagon and team for 4 Russell county, Ala., and the family will leave us some time lsoon. Mr. John Windle,'of New York ? S ate, is visaing his brother, \Y. H. Windle. 4 So we will close by wishing The Times and its readers a merry Christmas and successful .New Year. Splinter.
