The drug business which has for about 25 years been conducted by W. B. Ardrey at No. 14 Trade street has been purchased by Arthur C. Lytle and will probably be conducted in the future under the firm name of the Lytle Drug company. Mr. Lytle is a young and progressive citizen who has had several year's experience in the drug business prior to his enlistment about a year ago in the ranks of the Fort Mill Light Infantry. Tf_ _ 1 " tie served overseas lor nearly a year and has only recently returned and been discharged from the service. Father and Sons Served Together. Among the members of Company H who have returned to Rock Hill after being honorably discharged from the military service are Sergeant Charles P. Black and his two sons, Ligon and Herbert. Sergeant Black is an old national guardsman and be and his sons belonged to the Catawba Rifles. Mr. Bluck was rejected for military service when the United States went into the war on account of his physical condition. He came home, went to a local hospital and had a surgical operation performed, hoping that thereby he could enter the service. After recovering he was able to enlist and went to France in the same company with his boys. The three have returned safe and well. The case of this family is a remarkable one and adds to the honors coming to Rock Hill as a result of the service of her citizens in the war. Sergeant Black is several years above the draft age, even the age limit fixed by the second draft law, as he is above 50, and would not have been compelled to serve in the army. He desired to serve his country and be with his sons, and has made a record of which any citizen of this great country would have reason to be proud. -Rock Hill Herald. York's Share of Road Fund.
