NEW PRICE SCHEDULE.
Market Price on Beard Trims
Takes Advance.

Hereafter the Florence man who
insists on wearing a beard will
have to get his hair cut every time
he has his whiskers trimmed, if he
wants them trimmed at the old
price of fifteen cents. According
to new price schedule just issued
by the local BARRIERS union and
hung up today in local barber
shops, the bearded man can get all
the hair on his head trimmed for
fifty cents, although it will cost
him two bits to leave the hair on
his scalp intact and justahave the
fringe pruned off his face. Some
other additions and changes are
noticed in the new schedule. A
ladies' shampoo is quoted at S1.00.
1t is for ladies only, and man
could not buy one at any price.
The new prices for honing rozors
are also interesting. If it's a light
razor and is not nicked, union
barber may hone it for fifty cents.
If it's ''heavy or nicked," the
schedule says Sl.00. If it is an
ak or meat cleaver, the price would
-
likely be about $3.50. although the
schedule does not say but leaves
it to the option of the barber.
The hours of closing, too, are

changed. Union shops will close
hereafter on Saturday nights at II
O'Clock instead of II. On holidays
they will be open from s to II
O'Clock, and on the evening pre-
ceeding holiday they will remain
open until 9 o'clock.

AMONG THE HILLS.
Detention Hospital Will Probably
be North of Town.

Citizens of Florence are discuss
ing with a great deal of satisfaction
the arrangements that have been
made for the esta blishment of a
pest house and detention hospital
here. Some of the members of
the building committee gave some
time yesterday TO the matter of
site for the buildings, and it is
entirely probable that they will
select spot of ground among the
hills north of the river. Health
Officer Sheridan was consulted in
reference to the matter and he was
inclined to favor this location.
Fremont county is expected to
assume half of the financial
burden.

upon the situation in South Africa
The exact position at Molteno and

case, these little engagements are of
small Importance beyond proving that
the British forces are beginning to at
tain a greater degree Of mobility.
1t is fully expected that next week
viii see a heavy battle on the Tugela
river. which is now the real pivot of the
campaign. The Beers appear to be
working necessarily with shovel and
pick.
Lord Methuen's cavalry scouting
has developed the fact that the Boer
entrenchments extend some 40 miles,
far overlapping the British position
and making flank attacks exceedingly
difficult. Military analysis affirm that
the Boer trenches confronting Gen.
Butler stretch away some II miles and
that work upon them is unremittingly
pushed
While the advance is delayed. flank
movements are rendered most difficult
because long marches are not done
with celerity and it is hard to time an
attack with certainty.
The extent Of the Dutch rising may
now be measured by taking a line from
Pritska on the west to Herschel or
Barkly on the east Along the whole
Of this line. except at points actually
