into the Kuykendal building, across
the street, on January 1.
Mr.. H. C. Strauss commenced the
sale of his household and kitchen fur
niture on Monday; but had to postpone
it on account Of the rain.
Nocal cotton buyers have bought
about about 4,5OO bales of cotton so far
this season. The receipts are some
what larger, as compared with the
same date last year.
Ladies of Yorkville gave the K. M.
M. A. cadets a delightful reception last
Friday night. A large number of
young people were invited. refresh
ments were served. and there was a
pleasant hour Of 1t that was thorough
ly enjoyed by all who participated.
CMr. S. L. Hobbs ordered a big lot
Of Kalamazoo celery for THANKSGIVING.
Tt did not arrive. however, until after
the feast. The celery was worth $6.40
and the express amounted to S7.70. But
notwithstanding the delay the people
were hungry for celery and most Of it
Is gone.
ON account Of the bad weather. DR..
A. Y. Cartwright. executor. decided to
sell the household and kitchen furni-
ture of the late j. H. Riddle at the resi-
dence Of Rev. B. H. Grier. instead of
before the court house door. Quite a
large crowd attended the sale and gen.
orally good prices were realized.
There are at the South Carolina
and Georgia Extension depot. some un-
usually heavy cars of freight for Cas-
tonia. The reporter understands that
they are to be shipped via the Carolina
and North Western, and If so, the
transfer from one depot to the other
will involve a considerable task.
AThe capital stock Of the York Cot
ton Mills will likely be increased to
$500, 900, or maybe $600,G00. These are
the figures that 10000 spindle plant
will call for. Under all the circum-
stances, there will probably be less diff
ficulty in raising the increase than
there~as in getting up the first s5O,Ooo.
.Captain Moore, of the Jasper Light
Infantry, has received from General
Floyd a letter with reference to the re-
cent inspection. With the exception of
a number Of rather dirty guns, General
Floyd is evidently very much satisfied
with the report from the Jasper Light
Infantry. The probability is that the
company will be ranked with the best
in the state.
Rev. B, H. Grier preached a strong
temperance sermon last Sunday. He
handled this rather trite subject In
new way-from the standpoint OF plain,
every day common sense. After show
ing very conclusively the right and
duty of a minister Of the gospel to talk
about such things, he gave some In
teresting historical facts with refer
ence to the development of drunken
ness. He put a fearful load OF respon-
sibiity on temperate, or moderate
drinkers. There was large congre'
cation out and the sermon was we'll
received.
The young ladies Of the Presoyte-
rian church announce a Mum recep-
tion," next Friday evening. 1t is 10 De
held at the residence Of Major James
F. Hart. The practical object or the
reception Is to raise funds to pay for
pine organ the Presbyterian congrega-
ton has in contemplation: but an incl
dental object of less less Importance IS
social enjoyment. There Will be speclai
Loo
attractions for the children, ana also'
of course, refreshments will be served.
The ladies who have charge OF the pro-
posed entertainment know exactly no"
TO make a success of it and that IS
what they will do.
The recent decree of Judge Klugh In
the case Of the Rock Hill graded schooi
does not affect the Yorkville school ex-
cept in the case Of the per capita TAX
of 10 cents. Such is the opinion OF 10
cal attorneys. While the judges oroer
requires the trustees to admit all STU
dents under 21 years Of age, without
charge, it does not require, and can
not require, non-paying students 20 oe
advanced beyond the common schoQl
limit. The trustees will be warranted
in holding non-paying students paek
in the free public school grades. Fhis
will probably be done. 1t is either this
or more taxes for the support Of the
school,
AT the suggestion Of gentleman
who was interested in the wheat artl-

formation as to the quantity OF fertll-
zers sold in Yorkyille this fall for use
