Comes In Slowly.
Though there is no doubt of the fact
that the present corn crop in this section
is the largest that has been raised for years,
it seems to be the exception when any is
offered for sale. Occasionally somebody
brings in bushel or two, and it is quick
ly gobbled up by the first man to whom
it is offered. The ruling price is from 10
to so cents, and the demand is lively.
Thanksgiving Day.
Thanksgiving Day in Yorkville passed
off as quietly as usual. Business was
pretty generally suspended, and large
number of people attended union services
in the Presbyterian church. The colored
people and Il good many whites, in fact all
who were so inclined and were able to
scareup gun, went hunting.
All BY the Seaboard.
Nearly all the visitors from this section
to the Atlanta exposition go by the Sea-
board Air Line. Hardly 3 per cent. have
gone by the Southern. Quite number
from points up the Narrow Gauge have
come down across the Southern at Gasto-
mia and taken the Seaboard at Chester.
During the past week the o. r. & c., and
G. Il l.. Offices ut this place have sold con-
siderably over 81, 900 worth of tickets.
Rev. DIR. S. A. Weber.
There isa possibility that Yorkville may
lose Rev. DIR. Weber next year. The
doctor has been stationed here three years
now. He has done good work and ell
deared himself to everybody. Under the
church laws, he can be sent back for one
more year; but that is a matter for the
presiding bishop and council. 1t is sim
cerely hoped by large number of friends
and admirers that the doctor will be
returned.
Just n Rumor.
A rumor was in circulation among the
colored folks yesterday to the effect that
Wilse Montgomery, the Negro who was
sometime ago acquitted for the murder of
Rob Feemster, colOred, on the outskirts OF
Yorkville, had been committed to Dallas,
y. c., iail, on the charge of having COM
mitted another murder. THE ENQUIRER
made inquiry of Dallas by telegraph
yesterday, and was assured that Mont
gomcry is not in Jail there.
The Rabbits Escaped.
Yesterday appears to have been worse
day for the hunters than for the rabbits.
In one party of about ten that went out
hunting, five returned wounded. They
were Avery Lowry and Walter Rose,
white; and Rob Watts and two SONS of
Sam Watts, colored. We have been un-
