from Clerk Scruggs to the effect that the

contract with Messrs. Grist Cousins, OF
Yorkville, for a Munger-Pratt ginning
outfit, an extra large grist mill, and a
3O-horse power engine. These gentlemen
are evidently making arrangements to
make things hum during the next cotton
ginning season, and the corn grinding
business thereafter.

in securing the bricks necessary to COM
plete the work they have in hand, Messrs.

loads from Gastonia, n. G. Messrs. T. B.

plate the making Of several hundred

Road Meeting Next Tuesday.
The principle object Of the meeting Of
the county board of commissioners next
Tuesday, is to discuss the disposition OF
the chaingang when it gets through with
it's present undertaking on the road be-
tween Ebenezer and Tirzah. There will
probably be before the board at least two
or more delegations in the interest OF as
many roads; but, as yet, the board has
given no intimation of probable basis
Of action.
Means Business.
Mr.. w. n. Elder, president of the
York County Alliance, was in Yorkville
on Wednesday. He says that the propo-
sition to secure the attendance Of Mr..
Bryan at Tirzah is in dead earnest, and that
Joseph Sibley, of Pennsylvania, and J.
Mann Page, of Virginia, are also expect
ed to be present. The matter has been
left to large extent with the South Car
olina delegation in Washington, and it is
expected that the delegation will attend
to details.
Their Turnout Stolen.
Rock Hill Herald: Messrs. John Hol-
ler and Marshall Steele had sad exper-
ience Sunday night. They were visiting
friends in Santuc, about miles south
east of the city, and when ready to leave
they were forced to accept the painful al
tentative of walking, for the horse and
buggy were gone. At first they thought
it was joke; but the affair has assumed
very serious aspect, as neither horse nor
buggy has since been seen, although dill
gent search has been made everywhere
by the good people of that community.
