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.

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.
