| Real Estate Agency.
In another column, Mr.. P. w. Love
makes an announcement that will be OF
considerable interest to the people OF
Yorkville and vicinity. He has opened
real estate agency, and will engage
in the business of renting houses, collect
ing rents, and buying and selling real
property of all kinds. Yorkville has long
needed just such a convenience as this,
and Mr.. Love thinks he can attend to any
business that may be entrusted to him,
without interfering with his duties as town
treasurer, or chief Of police.
There VIII BE No Extention.
The fact that there will be no extension
of the time in which taxes may be paid
without the penalty, has been settled.
Comptroller General Norton has sent out
the following official circular on the sub
iect "The custom of extending the time
for collection of taxes without penalty
has prevailed to such an extent that the
public expects the same for the taxes 1884,
95. There will be no extension of the time
sufficient reason existing for such an ex-
tension"
Condition of the Country.
II believe that our section Of country is
; in better condition than at any time since
the war;" said Mr.. David McCarter, OF
Bethel township, last Saturday. almost
everybody has some money, and even the
Negroes have more cash than most Of the
white people had in 1891. I know of a
good many Negroes who have usually
been coming out in debt, and who, this
year, have anywhere from S25 to Sl5O in
cash, after paying all they owe, And not
only this, most of them also have plenty
of corn and meat. Yes, sir; the whole
country seems to be in first class condl'
tion."
Twisted Around the Shafting.
Mr.J. f. Hoffman had close call ir
the engine room at Morrow's ginnery last
Saturday morning. He was engaged in
oiling the engine and was leaning over the
4 line shaft. His coat was suddenly caught
by a projecting bolt in a coupling, and the
| first he knew of his danger was when his
whole body took turn around the shaft.
Fortunately his clothing gave away and
at the first turn he was thrown from the
shaft to the ground in heap. He was
knocked almost insensible, and was con-
siderably bruised; but except little
soreness has now entirely recovered from
his injuries. All of Mr.. Hoflman's cloth
ing, except portion of his shirt, was torn
off, and that he was not instantly killed,
seems to be almost miracle.
