Attracted by the advertised market price of cotton in Lancaster, which was reported as 37 cents for middling, several Fort Mill farmers tried to dis. pose of their holdings there but found upon investigation that Fort Mill was a better market. One of the prominent farmers of this section had this experience and finally disposed of 65 bales on the Fort Mill market to his advantage. A marriage of interest to Fort Mill people was that in Rock Hill Satnrday evening of Miss Lucy Merritt and Mr. Farley Huey. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Dr. Alexander Martin at his home on Park Avenue in the presence of a few friends of the couple. Mrs. Huey is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. Hey ward Merritt, and is well known and admired in Fort Mill and vicinity. Some Old Documents. While going through some old papers a few days ago which were the property of his father, Mr. Jeff D. Withers, of Lower Fort Mill, came across a copy of the original bill introduced in the South Carolina Legislature of 1840, pertaining to the purchase of what is known as "Catawba Nation," a tract of land lying on the west side of Catawba river about ten miles south of Fort Mill. We quote the first section of the bill, which follows: "Be it enacted by the Honorable the Senate and House of n .? i * ^ Representatives, now met ana sitting in General Assembly, and by the authority of the same. That the agreement, executed at the Nation Ford, on the 13th day* of March, Anno Domini eighteen hundred and forty, between John Springs, D. Hutchinson, E. Avery, B. S. Massey and Allen Morrow, Commissioners of this State, on the one part, and James Kegg (General) David Harris (Colonel) John Joe. (Major) William George.

Mr. Withers also found a copy , of the message of the president , of the United States, Martin Van Buren, delivered to the two houses of the Congress on December 2, 1839. Another very old document which Mr. Withers came across was the speech on "The Oregon Mernhandisfl IVIVI VIIUIIUIUU We haven't space to mention al and Winter Goods, but we wish tc i we think misht interest you.
