YORK-Rock Hill Herald, October
13: Cotton receipts fair. The ruling
price yesterday was 10 cents..... Miss
Dixie Alexander, of Charlotte, has
been visiting friends in Ebenezer and
Rock Little Ed Poag, who was
so dangerously Ill with dysentery, was
better yesterday. His condition is less
hopeless now... Mrs. J. E. Roddy,
who is sick with malarial fever, is still
quite Ill, though there was some i'm
provement in her condition yesterday.
..%Mr. Sam Friedheim, whose health
has not been good, went to Hot
Springs, N. c., several weeks ago. He
returned yesterday feeling considera-
bly, improved. Miss Hattie Louise
Thompson, a Young lady who is pleas
antly remembered here as a visitor to
Miss Lois Steele last summer, died in
Charlotte last Wednesday. Miss Steele
was with her friend when death came.
1.-Two Of our boys in Clemson COL
lege have written, requesting The Her
aid to say that it is not true, as re-
ported here, that certain Rock Hill
boys were, upon entering the college,
roughly hazed," a Rock Hill boy be-
ing the leader. -. Mr.. Edgar Jackson,
who about 10 days ago had both his
hands caught in Nicely & Miller's gin
saw at Newport, was fortunate not to
have lost either. The left hand was &C.
riously injured, while the right was
less hurt. He has nearly recovered the
use Of both. 4 Recently The Herald
referred to prospective marriage of
a young lady living in the country near
this city. We referred to Miss May
Armstrong, who will be married on
the oath instant to Mr.. Edwin r. Shan
non, Of Sharon. The ceremony will be
performed by Rev. w. A. Hafner, q
brother-in-law Of the groom-elect, at
the home Of Mr.. B. Merritt, uncle of
the bride-elect. Miss Armstrong Is a
modest, delightful young lady who will
bring sweetness and sunshine to the
home Of the worthy young man who is
to be 80 fortunate as to claim her as
his bride. The people Of Rock Hill
and Ebenezer are to have an opportu-
nifty Of hearing Bill Arp, the first of
next month. The s. D. Barron Chap
ter, U. D. c., Of Ebenezer, has sue
ceeded in having him to fix that date
for coming to Rock Hill, when he will
deliver lecture here under the auspi-
ces Of the s. D. Barron Chapter. The
ladies are engaged in the very patriot
ic task Of raising money with which
to erect a monument to the Confeder-
ate dead buried in Ebenezer cemetery,
and the fund realized will be devoted
to that purpose. ......Our readers will
remember the accident which befell Mr..
F. P. Giles, who had his left shoulder
dislocated and arm broken near the
elbow by being thrown out of buggy
about ten weeks ago. He has not re-
covered from his injuries and for sew
eral days his condition has been very
serious. He has been having convul-
sions and his family and friends are
very apprehensive Of the outcome. >,c {.
There was an unique celebratisH at
the home Of Mr.. S. A. Fewell, in Eben-
ezer, Wednesday night. That day Mr..
Fewell completed his 50th year, while
his fatherin-law, Mr.. Peter Garrison,
rounded up his S0th year. The kindred
Of both families were present to cele-
brate the unusual event and superb
feast was spread for the enjoyment of
the delighted gathering Of guests. Rev.
DR.. Thornwell and Mrs. Thornwell
were there, as was also Miss Dixie
Alexander, Of Charlotte, and the re-
porter. We know that DR.. Thornwell
expressed the feelings Of every one
present, when in response to an i'm
promptu toast, he said he did not know
two better men than the venerable pa
triarch, and his son-in-law, and to at
tempt to portray the beauties Of the
character Of either would be like trying
to paint the lily. It was joyous gath
ering in which honest, sincere man
hood, strong and stalwart, blended
beautifully with the sunset Of life, ra-
diant with virtue, surrounded as in a
armament by the stars Of a household
In whose lives love and chastity and
trustfulness are beautifully exempli-
fed.
UNION-Times, October 12: Mr.. S.
M. Smith reports one of the largest
'possums caught that we have heard Of
lately. He caught it Monday morn
ing on Little Browns creek. It weigh
ed II pounds. We envy Mr.. Smith his
'possum and tater dinner. Can any
one show bigger catch than this?....
A protracted meeting will begin in the
First Methodist church on Sunday.
Rev. Mr.. Messabeau will be assisted
in conducting the meeting by Rev. j.
M. Steadman, Of the first Methodist
church Of Yorkville, S. ....Captain
c. F. Camp, passenger conductor, had
quite an exciting experience one day
last week. AS his train pulled into
Santuc, four toughs climbed aboard, and
when Captain Camp came around to
collect fares they refused to pay. The
conductor0ried to put them off, and in
the scuffle that ensued one Of the men
got Captain Camps hand in his mouth
and proceeded to chew it. Baggage
Master Bryant, as soon as he noticed
the disturbance, went to the conduct
or's assistance, and the two finally
succeeded in putting the man off. Cap
tain Camps hand was so badly injur-
ed that it caused his whole arm to
swell, in consequence of which he has
been forced to lay off for a few days.
Mr.. Bryant was not hurt beyond few
