Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1896-12-02
LOCAL LACONICS,

THE TWICE-A-WEEK ENQUIRER Will
be furnished from this date to January
lst, 1897. for "a cents.
The Boss Turnip.
Mr.. J. F. A. Smith, of the Beersheba
neighborhood, six miles west Of York.
Vile, has left at THE ENQUIRER Office the
boss turnip of the season. 1t weighs 93
pounds.
Good Crop This.
Rock Hill Herald: Mr.. John Raterree
has, with ten mules, raised l43 bales Of
cotton this year, an average of 14i bales
to the mule. The fertilizers used were
kainit and stable manure.
Daily In Rock Hill.
THE ENQUIRER is in receiptof copy
of No. 5, volume l, Of The Daily Sun,
published in Rock Hill. It is filled with
live paragraphs of local interest, and ap-
pears to be making an energetic demand
for patronage.
Horse and Mule Auction.
Special attention is called to the horse
and mule auction advertised by Mr.. s. j..
Kimball, to take place in Yorkville next
Monday. Mr.. Kimball is a business man,
and in this advertisement he talks like he
means business.
Pretty Straight Shots.
In his predictions for December, pub
lished October II, our Chester weather
prophet said: "From to4 windy and
threatening" He has November % to 80
'changeable and disagreeable." Verify,
it looks like the Chester man has some
inside pointers as to the situation.
Incorrect.
The Rock Hill Herald has it that the
recent three weeks term of court was the
longest "in years." There is certainly
something badly wrong with The Her
AIDS memory; or by the indefinite term
"years," it does not mean an unusually
long time. On account of the spring
term of 1895, Judge Benet remained five
solid weeks.
No Fault Here. -.
The ENQUIRER has received a number
of complaints of failure of subscribers
up the Narrow Gauge railroad to receive
their papers on last Wednesday as usual.
We beg to say that the trouble was due
to no fault of ours. as the paper was
mailed at the postoffice here In ample
time to secure prompt delivery.
Cordwood S1.50.
1t Is good news to. the sellers but 1t
won't bring much pleasure to the buyers.
Mr.. Pelham Morrow has been in the
market for sometime past for pinewood at
$1.25 cord !; but unable to get supply,
he has at last decided to advance the
price to $3.50. See his advertisement In
another column calling for 100 cords.
Santa Claus Is Coming.
1t is quite evident that Santa Claus Is
going to be on hand this Christmas. II
he is feeling hard times this year, he has
not got very much to say about 1t, and
the fact that he has sent 80 many Christ
mas goods ahead, as is evidenced by the
show windows, goes to indicate that all
the little folks in the country are going
to receive something at his hands on the
night of the oath instant. Old Santa is in
an extra good humor this year.
Railroad Inspection.
Railroad Commissioner Wilborn made
the annual inspection of the Chester and
Lenoir railroad last Saturday from Ches-
ter to the state line, as required by law.
He was accompanied in the inspection by
Superintendent Nichols and few invited
friends from Chester and Yorkville. The
road was found in firstclass condition In
every particular, and the soundness and
strength of the trestles are said to be
deserving Of special mention.
Appeal Dismissed.
The Stats, Saturday: The clerk Of the
supreme curt, upon the affidavit of Ma
jor James F. Hart, of the firm of Hart q
Hart, attorneys for respondent, in accor-
dance with rules l and 2, yesterday en-
tered an order dismissing the appeal for
want of prosecution, with costs, in the
case of Tillman R. Gaines, respondent,
vs.. J. s. Drakeford, appellant Sixth
circuit, York county.
Not Seriously Hurt.
Pineville correspondent Of the Char
lotte Observer: Miss Janet Blankenship
and Miss Pattie Saville, while going to
Flint Hill church on Thursday, driving
Mr.. Blankenship's family horse, had a
narrow escape. Some part of the harness
came loose, which caused the horse to run,
upset ths buggy and kick nearly every
thing to pieces. Beyond few bruises
and the shock, the young ladies were not
hurt.
