tain in the centre of the crossing OF

nounce that there will be big picnic

from York, Chester and Union coun-
ties.
Delinquent Tax Sales.
The only official auction sales ad-
vertised for next Monday are those of
the sheriff who offers to sell lands of
delinquent tax payers. 1t is often the
case that good bargains are picked up
at sales of this kind.
Ofhces Look Better.
The painters have been at work in
the offices of Probate Judge McCorkle
and Sheriff Crawford. The walls and
ceilings, which ever since the fire have
been soiled and dingy, now look bright
and cheerful and Sheriff Crawford and
Judge McCorkle both take great
deal of pride in the improvement.
The First Presbytery.
The special attention of members OF
the First Associate Reformed presby-
tery is called to the announcement of
J. P. Knox, moderator, in another
column. Moderator Knox wants a
meeting of the presbytery to be held at
Yorkville on July 4, for the purpose of
considering a call addressed to Rev.

Representation of Hickory Grove.
As to why Hickory Grove failed to
elect delegates to the Fourth of July
conference last Saturday, we have no
information. If the people out in that
section desire to be represented in the
confer renee, however, we see no reason
why they cannot hold an election
tomorrow. 1t is to be hoped that they
will be sure and send delegates.
Last Day.
Next Monday is the last day upon
which registration certificates can be
be procured in accordance with the
law. There are hundreds of otherwise
qualified voters in this county, both
white and colored VINO are not yet
provided with registration certificates,
and the chances that even a consider
able number of them can get certifi-
Gates next Monday seem to be decided
ly slim.
