Tony, the faithful old family horse of Magistrate J. W. McElhaney, is no more. Old Tony was 26 years old and for ten years or longer was used as a livery horse by Mr. McIClhaney. Becoming too old lor this service, he was used only for light driving and was highly prized by members of the Magistrate's family. The old horse was among the first animals bought by Mr. McElham-y when he % opened business iu Fort Mill years ago and his death Saturday night is much regretted by hit owner. John L. Hurley, the well know r temperance worker, deliverer three strong lectures in the thret local churches last Sunday. Ii the morning he was heard at th?

Mr. Harley was pastor of the Fort Mill Methodist church some twenty years ago and is well remembered in in this section. His lectures Sunday attracted large crowds to i the churches. f acts About Easter. It is now just a little more 1 ; than one month until Easter, the ; date being March 23. Not until the year 2009 will Faster come- 1 as early again as it does this ; year, nor has it occurred as early I as M irch 23rd since 1856, 57 , ; years ago. , A great many things have hapj pened since Easter day came so I early ?what will have hanneneri 1 when it comes so early again? It is possible to know what has taken place during the 57 years that are passed, but what i will come before the arrival of 2009 is a closed book. Lent began this year February 5th and this is the earliest com| ing of Ash Wednesday and Easter Day between now and the end of this century. It is also interesting to note how late in the year Easter occurred and will occur. In 1886 it occurred as late as April 25, and this is the latest it has occurred since that time. It will not come so late as April 25th again until the year 1943.
