Blankenship, a well known business man of Rock Hill, was a visitor to Fort Mill Monday. Rev. G. VV. Cheek, of Mint, Hill, N. C.. will preach at the; Fort Mill Preshvterian church next Sunday morning and night. A partial eclipse of the sun is due. according to the almanacs, this mornins at 10 o'clock and will be visible here, the weather permitting. There was no preaching at the local Presbyterian church on last Sabbath, the minister who was invited to fill the pulpit being unable to attend. The United States senate the last week confirmed the appointment of the Fort Mill postmaster, Mr. B. Henry Massev, who has filled the position for something like 25 years. Fort Mill men drawn as jurors for the second week of the February term of the civil court for York county are: W. B. Ardrey, B. C. Ferguson, Bert Nivens. P. L. Sneed, S. P. Wilson. The condition of Hon. J. R. Haile, who has been ill for several weeks at his home five miles north of Fort Mill, has improved to such an extent that he is now able to be up and about. A meeting of the local Parent Teachers' Club will be held in the school auditorium Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock and all parties interested are urged to attend. ^The Times was in error the last week in saying that D. A. Lee, of Foit Mill, was in attendance upon the United States court at Greenwood. It is this week that Mr. Lee is in Greenwood, having left for that city Monday morning. A public sale-which was at tended by a large crowd on Main street Saturday morning was that of the accounts of Massey's Drug store, bankrupt. The accounts aggregated about $400 and were bought by 0. T. Culp, the amount paid for the accounts being $4.05. The mock trial given Friday evening by the pupils of the Fort Mill graded school was a most gratifying success to the promoters. The receipts which went to the Parent-Teachers' club and the athletic association of the school amounted to upwards of $30. It is not unlikely that the play will be repeated in the near future. M. Shultz, a young man who hails from Baltimore, has rented the room next the local postoffice and will within a few days install the necessary machinery fnr 5i mndf>rn fivprv Mr Shultz has had experience in his business and promises the people of Fort Mill and community first class work on shoes and at r. r.sonable prices. John Cannup, a young man employed at the plant of the Charlotte Brick company, at Grattan, Thursday suffered serious injury in a fall at the company's commissary. Mr. Cannup had ascended the stairs on the outside of the building and to speak to a friend had leaned against the rail surrounding the landing. The railing gave away and precipitated the man to the ground below, a distance of about 20 feet. He was taken to a Charlotte hospital Friday for treatment and at last reports he was improving and is expected to recover within a short time. Fort. Mill people generally will be interested to know that Rev. Porter M. Bailes, a former Gold i Hill man, has taken charge of a 1 church at La Grantee, Ky. Rev. Mr. Bailes has been located in Louisville, Ky., and has taken a post-graduate course in the Southern Baptist Theological seminary. La Grange, the town i to which Mr. Bailes has moved, is about 25 miles out from Louisville, has a population of 1,500 and his church has a membership of 350. The Times is informed that one of the wateroak trees in the i yard of the Millfort mill has up | to the present retained its last1 year's foliage and today is as j green as it was last summer. There are a number of the trees along the street and, with the exception of this particular oak, the trees shed their leaves last fall as is nature's rule. W. E. Griffin, who conducts a mercantile business just beyond the eastern incorporate limits of the town, contemplates the erection of a store house in the near future at the intersection of Booth and Rocky streets in the eastern part of town. Mr. Griffin will move his stock to the new building when it is comj pleted. At tiie regular monthly meeting Tuesday evening of city council, W. A.

We, the physicians of Fort Mill, in consultation believe that Fort Mill and the vicinity demand the services of ] three medical men, since three have practiced nere lor me past <25 years. Now, owing to the high cost of living, we have been unable to make a 1 living for the past two or three years and conclude the only remedy is to raise the price of our services to the same fees as the physicians of surrounding towns, viz: For visits in town $1.50 Outside town limit up to 2 miles 2.00 For each additional mile above 2 .50 For night calls, extra 1.00 Obstretical cases $15 and upward. Moreover, we agree to send statements monthly for our services the same as other business men. All delinquents are urged to settle their accounts at once. Those who cannot pay will be placed on the charity list. 'I hose who will not will be placed on another list. These changes in fees to take eirect on the first of February, 1016. J. B. Elliott, M.
