let us think about new graded

not procrastinate any longer. Are you
thinking?
A little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
Sam Youngblood, who live few miles
northeast Of Yorkville, was painfully
burned last Tuesday afternoon, during
short, unavoidable absence Of It's
mother from the house. The child's in
juries were quite serious but at last &C.
counts it was getting along very nicely
DIR. Hall lectured in the opera house
last Wednesday night to quite large
audience. The lecture was enjoyed by
some; but many were disappointed
They thought the doctor fell considera-
bly, below the standard Of his former
effort. 1.-THE Fool Killer" was his sub
ject.
THANKSGIVING passed without specI
ial incident, the principal features OF
the day being the union service In the
Presbyterian church, and dinner enter
tainments at numerous hospitable
homes. The attendance on the union
service was not as large as usual, and
contributions for the benefit Of the or
phanages were proportionately small.
The reporter is advised that the
South Carolina and Georgia Extension
railroad has given out contract for
the erection Of a handsome passenger
depot in Yorkville. Work would have
commenced already, but the contract
or has been having trouble to get the
necessary material. The building will
be UP and ready for occupancy by jan
uary next, however. 1t is to be s1mi-
lar to those in use on the Southern In
towns Of the size Of Yorkville. There
will be a waiting room at either end
with offices between. The interior is to be
finished in hardwood The building, 1t
is understood, will front on East Liber-
ty street instead of being set back on
the site occupied by the depot that was
burned.
Captain w. w. Lewis, as the repre-
sentative Of General Floyd, inspected
the Jasper Light Infantry, in the COM
pany's armory, in the Allison building
last Tuesday night. The regulations
require an enrolment Of go men and
not less than 40 in uniform. The en-
rollment Of the Jaspers Is now 63, and
Of these SO were out for inspection In
uniform. This included the chaplain
and half a dozen honorary members
There were more than so armed men In
ranks. The inspection consumed abont
an hour, Captain Lewis going through
the work with the greatest precision
The men acquitted themselves very
creditably. Even Captain Lewis
thought so. After the inspection the
company was put through exercises In
the manual and field movements out
on the street. In these also it made a
good showing.
- Colonel w. G. Stephenson, superin-
tendent of the Kings Mountain Mill
tary academy, has been advertising
for potatoes, turnips, chickens and
country hams. AS the result of his
he mas found pota-
toes, turnips and chickens without
limit; but as yet not a single
pound of country ham has been
offered. The colonel comes from a por-
ton of Virginia noted for its country
cured hams, and he is naturally desir-
Gus of giving his boys something better
than the Chicago, Cincinnati and Bal
timore hams, usually sold in the stores.
That is why he tried the country. He
should have been able to find more nice
country-cured hams than he could
have possibly found room for. The
fact that he has found none Is pretty
good indication that there are none for
SALE 1t is to be hoped that If he shall
make a similar requisition upon our
people next summer or fall, 1t will not
be in vain.
-Messrs. Glenn & Allison's guarantee
is about the same as an insurance pol
icy. AS one result Of it, they have
built up a unique trade, especially in
buggies and wagons. They are in the
habit of telling their customers just
what to expect and what they will do
if their representations fail to mate
rialize. AS the result, they have a
of customers who have found
it practicable to run vehicles only so
long as they are covered by the guar
antee. These vehicles are frequently
traded back to the dealers for new
ones, and the firm sells them to peo-
pie, who on account Of the price, find
their purchase especially desirable. The
reputation the firm has made for itself
by means of this guarantee, extends all
this section. The policy is
a development Of ten years growth,
and nobody ever questions it because
along with the hundreds of instances
where the guarantee has been made
good in the case Of stock, vehicles and
no one has ever known a
case where it has been discredited in
letter or spirit. This is one Of the fea-
lures on which the firm has built it's
wefl-known reputation.
- The new dynamo was gotten into
operation last Tuesday night, and the
light it made was superior to anything
yet seen: Everybody was delighted.
