Up ON Main Street.
Mr.. F. A. Gosman, has rented room
from Mr.. G. H. O'Leary, next door to
Dobson's Racket, with the intention of
opening repair shop there. Being a first
class workman, and doing his work at
reasonable prices, Mr.. Gossman will no
doubt he the recipient of a generous pa
tronage.
Candidate For Lynching.
Rock Hill Sun: On last Friday night a
Negro man entered the room of one of
the young ladies at the home Of Mrs. NJ.
L. Hall, in Oakland. 1t was the impress
sion that he entered the room for the
purpose Of robbery; but it soon developed
that his purpose was not theft. When he
approached the bed where the young lady
was lying she raised the alarm and the
to his identity, but he is surely election
eering for hemp collar.
After the Vacancy.
There are quite number of applica-
tions for the vacancy that has occur
red on the county registration board by
reason of the election of Mr.. j. R. With
erspoon to the house of representatives.
Among those who have been mentioned
as candidates, the reporter has heard the
names of Messrs. W. J. Waters, d. c.
Clark, j. E. Leech, and j. T. Bigham.
There are perhaps others. The vacancy
will be filled by the governor, and very
likely upon the recommendation of
York's representation in the general as
sembly.
Good Man Gone.
DR.. B. E. Feemster, whose critical illness
with pneumonia was referred to by our
Hoodtown correspondent in his last let
ter, died on last Saturday morning, and
was buried at Bullock's Creek OH Sunday.
DR.. Feemster was about IS years of age.
He was physician by profession but has
not practiced much for a number OF
years. He was wellknown in his own
neighborhood as a thoroughly good citi-
zen, public spirited and progressive, and
was held in high esteem throughout the
county.
Another Campmeeting.
The regular quarterly meeting of the
York County Alliance, was held at
McConnellsville last Friday, accord
ing to announcement, and among other
things it was decided that the an
nual campmeeting will be held this
summer as usual. The understanding is
that the matter will be in charge of the
same committees that had charge of the
last campmeeting. The place of meeting
has not yet been definitely decided upon ;
but the Rock Hill Sun SAYS that it is pro-
posed to go to such locality as may sub
init the most advantageous bid.
AnaIyze the Water.
As long as YOrkville has had water
works, and with so many people con-
stantly using the water for drinking pur-
poses, it is strange that there has been no
analysis made of it. We have no idea
that there is anything wrong with the
water furnished by the water works.
1t is believed to be the purest and best
to be had, but of this fact, Of course,
there is no positive information, and the
matter should be definitely settled. II
the water is bad, by all means the peo-
pie should know it, and if is of the best, il
would be q qualification to know why.
An analysis will cost but a few dollars
and it should be made.
Conceal It? Why, of Course Not.
Baltimore American, 8th: Mr.. and
Mrs. w. r. Carroll arrived at the Carroll
