Mr. Bailes expects to be away from Fort Mill about a w^ek. v T. N. Parks/ of the Internal ' ' Revenue Department', will be at the First National bank of Fort Mill tomorrow (Friday) to assist individuals in making up their ; . income tax returns. / The six year old daughter of. ' / T. N. Reeves, who lives in the; upper section of the town, was struck by a motor cycle Saturday ! afternoon and slightly injured about the fare. The accident occurred near the store of R. P. j Harris. { Farm work in this section has again been retarded bv the rain which fell Saturday night and Sunday. This year there has been less than the usual amount of work done up to the first of March in preparing the land for the year's crops. Dr. W.* H. Martin, who for several months has been prescription clerk at the Lytle Drug ? company, has bought an interest in the business. Before enter ing cne service as a lieutenant in 1917, Dr. Martin for several years conducted a drug store in Rock Hill which he sold shortly after the United States declared war on Germany. The new building in the rear of the postolfice to be occupied ^ by The Times is nearing completion and the paper hopes to be established in its new home within the next two weeks. The , building is considerably larger than the one now used by The Times and is otherwise better suited to the purposes of a newspaper. Dr. J. L. Spratt has been named guardian by the war department for Rellia Jennings, widow of Leonard Jennings, a Fort Mill township negro who was drafted into the service in 1917 and died three weeks after entering the training camp at Spartanburg. Jennings had his life insured for $10,000, the first payment on which, amounting to about $1,400, was received by Dr? Spratt a few days ago. The monthly payments on the insurance policy will amount to about $80 and will run over a period of 20.years. The appearance of robins in this section in their annual migration from the south to the north heralds the approach of spring. These birds spend the summer in Canada and the Northern States of this country {'? and when the cooler nights of the fall set in take the long flight to Central and South America to spend the winter. They are protected by the game laws of South Carolina as nongame birds and boys and others who might wish to kill them are warned that it is unlawful to do so. At a meeting last Thursday evening of the local board of health the quarantine which had been in operation in Fort Mill for two weeks on account of the recent influenza epidemic was declared at an end, beginning last Friday morning, and that evening the moving picture show was opened. Sunday the usual services were held at all the churches in town and Monday morning the sessions of the graded school were resumed. The town is not yet free of influenza, but the board of health does not now fear that the disease will spread from the few ; isolated cases left. By Monday evening last more ' than the necessary majority of freeholders of Fort Mill had signed the petition addressed to the town council asking for an ' election on ine proposed oona issue of not in excess of $30,000 with which to improve the streets of the town. The bill recently introduced in the Legislature providing for a street commission for Fort Mill, composed of Dr. J. L. Spratt. N. L. Carothers and L. A. Harris, already has passed both houses and the governor is expected to sign it before the end of the week. It is understood that the commission will submit the bond proposition to the voters of the town as soon after the bill becomes law as the legal requirements as to registration and the necessary election notice can be made.

The idea of being unable to secure soft driuks, cigarettes, fruits, candies or other confections in Fort Mill on Sundays does not appeal to "Whacker" Smith and he is thinking of moving away from Fort Mill? perhaps to Rock Hill.
