and interest occurred Thursday

the Fort Mill Presbyterian church
served a banquet in honor of the
Mens' Bible class of the same
church, the affair being held in
the Meacham building on Main

evergreens. Covers were laid

on last Wednesday to a large
number of farmers and others
interested in raising pure bred
stock, the affair being primarily
in honor of the pig club boys of
York, Lancaster and Mecklenburg
counties, and the number
of the latter in attendance demonstrated
the interest which is
being taken in the subject of
growing more and better and
larger hogs. The affair was un- j
der the management of Robert!
M. Bryant of Mecklenburg.

beaded Mexican purse and numbers

the most interesting things were
the little Mexican jumping beans.
They were put on the table and
looked very demure when all in
a moment they jumped straight
up and turned over. "What
made them do that?" was the
question all asked. Sergt. Price i
warned his mother not to plant
them for they were too lively
to stay planted.

THE FORT ]
Supervisors Couldn't Agree.
While everything points to the
early erection of a bridge across
Cafawba river between Fort Mil 1
and Rock Hill, it is not so in the
case of the bridge across Broad
river between York and Cherokee
counties, which was washed
away in the July floods. A joint
meeting of Supervisors Boyd of
York county and Jenkins of
Cherokee county, with their respective
commissioners, was held
at the bridge site a few days
ago and a proposition was made
by the York supervisor that he
would be willing to build the
bridge on the same basis as before,
each county paying half
the costs. Supervisor Jenkins
declined the proposition, but
agreed to meet Supervisor Boyd
in the middle of the river. The
York supervisor would not agree
to this because there is a long
approach to the bridge on the
York side and a very short approach
onx the Cherokee side;
but he was willing to go down
the river about a quarter of a
mile to a point where the approaches
are about of equal
length and go halves. This the
Cherokee county supervisor refused
to agree to, and there the
negotiations stand for the present.
