MONKEY HAS FUN.

and laughed and chatted with her
friend. The monkey withdrew to a cor
ner and moped.
Suddenly he was inspired by a sudden
thought. lie dashed up the bnrs Of his
cage. Presently he was clinging to the
inside of his hateful prison, near where
the girl stood. lie put out one paw and
grasped the brim of the girls hat.
With the other he pulled bunch of the
pretty yellow blossoms from the front
of her dainty headcovering. Then he
retreated, holding the precious memen-
to to his nose. 1t would be more poeti-
cal TO say that he pressed the bouquet to
his heart, but the truth must be told.
This is one side of the story. There
is another.
The girl did not see the romance in
the monkeys apparent devotion. This
is how she described the scene:
81 was standing near the monkey
cage in Forest park, and horrid mon
key pulled the flowers out of the front
of my hat. OF course, it startled me,
and screamed. The monkey ran away
smelling the flowers.

The editor of an exchange has
discovered that there is a wide diff
ference between the school books of
the present and those of long ago.
He says that when he first went to
school he read his lessons in the first
reader something like this: ''See the
COW. la not the COW nice? Can the
COW run2 Yes, the COW can run
Can the COW run as fast as the horse?'
But the latest up to-date style of
reading it by the average kid is as
follows; .'Git onto the cow. Hain't
she beaut2 Sure, she's corker
Can the cow get move on herself?
You bet she can get move on her
self. Can she hump it like de hossY
Nit, she amt in it wild de hoss."

her smile was sweet. The monkey was
captivated. He admired her from a re-

shyly approached. Upon close scru-

than he thought at first.

AS USUAL MY FLOUR
up O-DATE
STYLES,

In the opening of the season
the ladies Of York county seemed
to organize a regular lombard
ing expedition against my stylish
millinery, and after making as
sault after assuault on my latest
styles of headwear, I still stand
on the ramparts of dame fashion
waving the latest and most pop
ular colors.
My Hats are all new and stylish and
up-to-date. There hasn't been lady in
our fort since the season commenced
who has as much as at least intimated that
they were too high priced. They have
all admitted their beauty and style, and
what more could they ask ? Nothing, alb
ed anything more but the ladies have
bought them and they are now in almost
every home and worn by almost every
lady. However there are some who have
not been supplied, and I will say to them
that they can be- supplied from our fort
ress, and they are invited to call and in
spect our headwear.
1 can offer you Hats at 25 cents and so
cents on the dollar; but they are OFF
STYLES and OLD HATS. I can trim
you up Hats at so cents, rs cents and Sl.O
to LOOK STYLISH. OF course they
are not fine; but as good as you can get
or expect for that money.
In conclusion, allow me to thank my
customers and numerous friends for their
exceptionally liberal patronage bestowed
on me this season, and / assure them
every day in the future, rs it has been in
the past, that no efforts will be spared to
please them either in goods or prices.

Visit to North Carolina-Efects of the Dry

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
HooDTowN, June 13.-After several
weeks silence I will endeavor to give
your readers few dots from this Sec
ton. Your correspondent spent two
weeks in Polk county recently, max
ing the little town of Mill Spring
headquarters. Owing to the schedules
on the O. R. & c. and Southern roads,
I was compelled to stop over at Blacks
burg or Gaffney; so chose the latter,
spending few hours with the family
of Mr.. Geo. E. Hood.
At Mill Spring, part of the time was
spent with an old classmate, DR.. Shan
kle, who, with his excellent wife, made
my stay there very pleasant. Owing
to indisposition l was not able to see
much of the fine scenery for which
that section is noted.
Two things which I observed may
be worthy of passing notice. While
in Columbus, court week, / noticed
that although the courthouse was quite
full, there were scarcely dozen Ne
groes present. In section where but
bale or two of cotton are raised to
the plow, the paucity of the "brother
in black" cannot be considered a very
serious drawback, as labor conditions
are so different from ours. The other
fact was the presence of large numbers
of locusts, which could be heard in all
directions filling the air with their
discordant music.
Despite the fact that no rain OF
consequence has fallen here in seven
weeks tomorrow, the farmers are still
quite busy "dusting" their crops and
harvesting wheat and oats. Some
wheat has been threshed and a fair
yield is reported. Spring oats are very
light, but the small quantity of fall
oats sown are considerably better.
Poor stands Of cotton are complained
of on red lands, and especially the
later planting. There still remains
some bottom land implanted in corn.
The "bud" worm has played havoc
with quite lot Of the early planting.
Gardens are pretty well parched up.
We will have to depend on fruit and
blackberries to add variety to our
dietary list, and the drought is affect
ing them even more or less.
Mr.. Il. B. Black and family paid a
short visit to relatives at Clay Hill
last week
Miss Vic Saunders, of Guthriesville,
spent last week with relatives near
here.
Mr.. Jno. J. Wallace and family came
down Saturday on visit to relatives
here and at Bullock's Creek.
While we do not wish any nearer
acquaintance with smallpox, even
though it be Of mild type, we have not
been specially alarmed by the case so
near us-at Bullock's Creek. How
ever, the question of vaccination will
have to be seriously considered if there
