The Times is requested to say that Mr. McKeown has made arrangements with several hanks of the county to advance money to boys who wish to become members of the County Pig club, the money to be used in buying thoroughbred pigs for the year's contest. The Savings Bank ul Fort Mill will care for the boys of this township who wish to enter the contest and hav? n't the money to buy their pigs. This money is to be paid o; ck sometime during the next fall. when it suits the convenience of the boy. Should the pin purchased die. then the hank would furnish mom y for another pig.
