/ SHORT ITEMS of INTEREST to TIMES READERS. ' ?? _____ _________ T. H. Merritt, who movpd from this community to Edtrmoor about one month arto, was a visitor to Fort Mill Friday. A farmer well up on hopr raising remarked Saturday that there were more shoats and piprs for sale in this township at present than he had ever known. The prices, however, are about the same as for several years. Employees of the Southern Power company at its plant west n _ ? x n ! oi tnis ciiy art* an1 n-iptum*; n pleasant evening Friday, when the annua! banquet of the company's employees will b" held in the auditorium at Charlotte. i H. N. Patterson, a well known farmer of the Barbcrsville community of Lancaster county, was married Wednesday to Miss Essie Caldwell, of Huntersville, N. C. The marriage took place at the home of the bride in Huntersville. The police officers of the town have been instructed to enforce the ordinance against the shooting of fireworks. The ordinance provides o maximum fine of $25 for shooting fireworks within 100 yards of any building inside the corporate limits. Arthur Pruitt and Miss Vashti 'Yarborough. employees of the Millfort mill, were married Thursday afternoon at the home of the bride's parents in the vicinity of the mill. The ceremony was performed by Magistrate J. W. McElhaney. General rains in the Southern States and snow and rain in the Northern States, east of the Mississippi river and in the Southwest, ar*e expected this week by the national weather bureau a- a result of disturbances Monday covering the far Northwest and the Rio Grande valley. The Times is requested to state that there will be preaching by the pastor, Rev. F. L. Glennan, in the local Methodist church next Sunday evening at 7 o'clock. Mr. Glennan will also preach next Sunday at Philadelphia church at 31 a. m. and at Pleasant Hill at 3:30 in the afternoon. D. 0. Potts, of the Pleasant Valley community, has probably been more successful this year in raising turkeys than any per son in this section. On Frid y Mr. Potts sold on the Charlotte market a load of his fowls and realized from the sale the sum of $85. Besides these, Mr. Potis has now at his home about 2i turkeys raised this year. Considerable interest is being manifested in the approaching meeting of the city council, to be held early in Janurv, at which it is presumed the election of a chief of police and assistant for the ensuing year will be disposed of. As yet no applications have been filed with the clerk, but it is probable that, as usual, there will be a number of applicants for the jobs before the election tflkps nlnce. For the second time within the last two months, work has had to be suspended for an entire day at mill No. 1 of the Fort Mill Mfg. company as the result of some miscreant cutting the main drive belt of the weave room. Sunday night the belt was cut, as it was some weeks ago, and all day Monday the large force of operatives was idle. In both instances the work of repairing the belt was so diffiNcult that the company found it necessary to send to Charlotte for an expert to do the work, S^hich required a difficult operation of cementing. It is understood that the company will pay a liberal reward for information to convict the person guilty of vandalism. From time to time The Enquirer is requested to publish the honor rolls ot tne puouc schools. The idea of such publication of course, is to encourage the children. This idea we consider most laudable and we are glad to do what we can. Our experience in times past, however, has been that some of the teachers have not seemed to be able to resist the pressure that tended to get a large majority of the names on the honor rolls. This is calculated to defeat the purpose for which publication of such rolls is intended and it destroys such value as there might otherwise be in the publication. We have, therefore, offered to publish honor rolls for such schools as desire to the extent of three names in each grade?Yorkville Enquirer. Care for Yonr Poultry.
