The local school baseball club went over to Yorkville Friday afternoon and were defeated in a one-sided game of ball with the high school team of that town.

Many of the farmers of this vicinity have this week com- ^ pleted the planting of cotton and are now wishing for a good season to bring the plants up. 1 The ground hereabouts is reported to have become very dry and hard since the heavy downpour of rain some two weeks | ago. . The Fort Mill Livestock as sociation sustained a heavy loss one day the last week in the death of "Irisage," the thorough-! bred Percheron stallion, purchased by the association about two years ago. The horse was j valued at $1,500 and died on the P* plantation of W. B. White in Lower Fort Mill. No, dearest, business in Fort Mill is not at a standstill because an individual wished to know if the merchants were "tired of doing nothing." As a matter fact, business is today better in the town than it has been at any time since last fall. Not only in the mercantile line, but in all lines our people are busy, and, what's better, conditions are steadily improving.

The closing exercises of the Gold Hill school, in Upper Fort Mill, will take place this, Thursday, evening, beginning at 8 o'clock. The exercises will consist of songs, drills, plays and so on, and judging from the progam, the exercises will be fully as elaborate and interesting as in former years.
