I * * * | An example of what intensive 1 farming will do in Chesterfield coun- I ty is funishcd by Mr. Paul Parker, of 1 near Friendship church. Mr. Parker plants very little cotton and what he I docs plant is rotated with other crops. ' He has a small farm but sells many 1 hundreds of pounds of meat each 1 year and is prosperous. 1 ^ The young people of Chestarftold gave an old-fashioped square dance last Friday evening^ in Mr. W.

After several games. of Rook were playet^ a delicious sweet course was served. * A great deal of complaint is being caused by the promiscuous running at large of stock on the streets of our town. Our town authorities should enforce the law as to this. * Chesterfield has enrolled in its Sunday schools over two hundred pupils and the Sunday schools of the different denominations should begin a campaign to get every one in town into some branch of Sunday school work. The merchants are receiving thenspring samples and now is the time to decide on that new suit. We have ar early Easter this year, coming on the 8th of April. The first announcement of this kind has already appeared in the columns of The Advertiser. Keep your eye on these columns and you can't go far wrong in your selection of a new suit. # * * We wish to call the attention of our legislators to the inadequate and expensive heating arrangements of the Courthoue aiwl jail. A great saving in fuel could be elfected and much added to the comfort of the occupants of these buildings by the establishment of central heating systems. Mrs. D. M. Barentine, whi has been spending several days with relatives in Cheraw, has returned home. * * * Mr. R. E. Rivers will move to what is known as the Kennedy place next week and Mr. C. II. Rivers will move into the house vacated by Mr. R. E. Rivers here in Chesterfield. We understand that the partnership between these two gentlemen a3 tQ rcaj estate holdings has been dissolved, Mr. R. E. Rivers taking the Kennedy place and adjoining land as his portion and Mr. C. H. Rivers taking the balance of their holdings. * * * Mr. W. K. McQuaig, of Pelham, Ga.t but formerly of Chesterfield county, was in town Wednesday. Mr. McQuaig is engaged in furming and also has turpentine interests in that section. When asked what the boll weevil was doing down there, Mr. McQuaig said it was just eating everything in sight that looked like cotton and some things that don't look like it. When told that some of our farmers say that the boll weevil won't live in our sandy soil, he replied that they are thriving just fine in soil down there that is equally as sandy as this, and as to temperature, the sand there gets much hotter than here und they like it. They are also living in colder climates than this and doing well. So it is Mr. McQuuig's opinion that the 0 mrmer wno does not prepare for Mr. Boll Weevil in Chesterfield county is going to be very badly fooled within three or four years. * All those who believe that accidents run in sets of three may rest easy now in the assurance that the jinks who presides over such ill luck is satisfied for the time at least. It started with Mr. Will Lucas not long ago when a little Ford car fell on his land nearly severing two fingers. After proper medical attention, his wounds began to heal and when it became evident that he would save all the affected digits, it was Capt. Welsh's time. He got his while helping move the Chesterfield Drug Store. The whole store didn't fall on his hand but part of it did. But his wound, also is healing nicely. So yesterday Mr. Lewis Rivers appeared with t|is hand in a sling and unmistakable signs of suffering in his face. He received a Very painful wound from a nail while spliting a board with which to sty* a fire. It is to be > *1 < .i a in iii i r MI i. i Mrs. T. B. Lucas is rapidly improving after a recent sickness. y.. Mr. Ted Melton recently sold his entire cotton crop for prices ranging between 26 and 80 cents per pound, 26 cents being the smallest prices received. * The Chesterfield Hardware Co. is the name under which the DuVails, of Cheraw, will conduct the business recently purchased from the Armfleld Hardware Co. It is understood that the new store will open for business next Tuesday. * Mr. J. M. Rivers has about recovered from his recent illness. It is rumored that Mr. E. S. N. Rollins, who is conducting a mercantile i?: uu3inc? in v/iiwraw, win move to Chesterfield in the near future. Mr. Rollins will be welcomed back to his home town if he decides, as others have decided before, that "Chesterfield the Cheery," is the best town. The land sale near Patrick was largely attended although the weather was very disagreeable. A great many complimentary things are being said about Prof. Henderson and his tuncsters. The Chesterfield Band furnished the inspiration for both buyers and sellers on this occasion, and though it could not drive away the rain, its delightful strains of music could and did drown the sound thereof, so that the land did not seem quite so wet and the spirits of both buyers and sellers not nearly so damp as they would have been had not the benign influence of the band been felt.
