buildings and is now putting in posi-

The Catawba Bridge.
According to the Rock Hill Herald,
the petition introduced in the house by
Representative Epps, asks that the
commissioners of York county be al
lowed to expend the sum of $4,000
toward the erection of bridge at
Sutton's ferry. Sutton's ferry, The
Herald says, is about one-half a mile
above Harris's ferry, the point that
was selected by a committee of the
county board sometime ago. The
Herald also goes on to intimate that it
would now be willing to'build a bridge
even at Neely's ferry, rather than have
no bridge at all.
The Kuykendal Building.
Contractor Kellar is busy at work
making some important changes in the
Kuykendal building. The room now
occupied by the telegraph and express
Office is to be handsomely prepared for
Mr.. T. w. Speck's jewelry store, and
as soon as Mr.. Speck gets into it, he
proposes to begin the carrying of a
larger and finer stock than heretofore.
DR.. Cartwright is to have three of the
upstairs rooms for his dental office, and
the balance of the building, now occu-
pied by the drugstore, will be occupied
by DR.. Kuykendal's medical business
and the insurance business of Kuyken-
dal & Propst.
Our Mail Facilities.
Yorkville is again without an early
morning connection with Columbia,
and morning papers do not arrive until
noon, or thereabouts. The Southern
road recently made a change in its
schedule whereby the northbound
morning train does not arrive at Ches-
ter until about half an hour later than
heretofore. The Carolina and North
Western has not yet seen fit to make
a change in its schedule, and as the
result Yorkville is knocked out of mail
and passenger connections. 1t is hoped
that now, since the Narrow Gauge has
filled in its missing link between
Hickory and Newton, it can make a
change by which this serious incon-
venience to people along the line OF
road in York county can be remedied.
MIR. Jacob A. Rhyme Dead.
Gastonia Gazette, Thursday: One
of the oldest and best citizens of the
county passed away last Saturday
morning when death claimed Mr.. Jacob
A. Rhyme. He was in his Goth year,
having become 80 years of age on New
Years day. He lived all his days in
the neighborhood where he died, aud
was good man and good neighbor.
AS death approached his faith sus-
tanned him and sustained him to the
end. He was for 70 years a member
of the Methodist church, and bore the
full confidence of all who knew him.
His aged companion preceded him
some 16 years ago, and he leaves to
mourn his departure two sons, Messrs.
Laban and William Rhyme, and five
daughters. The funeral services,
largely attended, were conducted Sun
day afternoon at the home, and the
burial took place about 2 o'clock at
Shiloh. A good man has finished his
course and gone to his reward.
