4 The sermon preached. .Dy Rev. w. u.
Neville to the Jasper Light Infantry on
Sunday, is we'll worthy Of, use In the
public schools as a lesson text.
tThe York Brick Works are again in
operation. Mr.. Ashe was unable to get
we'll underway last week on account of
the weather; but he continues to in
crease his force every day and will soon
have his yard running full capacity.
3Said local cotton buyer to the re-
porter on Monday: "That letter you
published from Mr.. T. P. NcDill about
the Texas cotton crop is likely to cost
the farmers Of this section lot Of mon
ey. You will see when the count comes
in that the Texas crop Ia about as large
as usual, and that this years crop Is
not going to be a short one. I don't
think you need ever expect to see an
other crop Of less than 10000. 900 bales" !"
After attending the services at the
church last Sunday morning, the men,
bers of the Jasper Light Infantry re-
turned to their armory and passed a
resolution thanking Rev. Mr.. Neville
for the able and instructive sermon
that he had just delivered to them.
Captain Moore entertained the homo
rary members of the company, who
were in attendance on the services, at
dinner at the Parish hotel.
John Ross, colored, was before May
or Willis yesterday on the charge OF
selling liquor in violation Of the town
ordinance. Ross claimed that he had
not sold liquor, but had procured the
liquor that he delivered from another
party. He could not remember. the
name of the party who furnished the
liquor. Mayor Willis has a rule by
which he considers the man who deliv-
ers whisky and receives the money the
seller and he fined Ross $50.
We desire to give especial commen-
dation to the talk that Is made by H. C..
Strauss & Co., In another column.
There Is nothing small, narrow or sell
fish about 1t. 1t is good, hard sense.
and II Mr.. Strauss had asked us to do 80
we would have cheerfully given it place
in our editorial columns instead Of
printing 1t as an advertisement. The
community will certainly do well to
take these suggestions seriously, and
IL it acts as 1t should act in the circum-
stances, the result will be to the COM
mon benefit Of every individual who
makes his living here. Yorkville people
who send elsewhere for goods that may
be had in just as good quality and at
just as low a price In Yorkville, are not
only unjust to themselves; but they are
unjust to the entire community.
<Mayor Willis held the most extern
sive levee Monday morning that he has
held for quite awhile. Jim Moore. who
had been fighting, was sentenced to pay
fine Of IS or go to the chaingang for
fifteen days. Pink Evans, on the same
charge got $3.50 or ten days. Mack
Darwin. who had jumped train in vio-
lation Of the town ordinance, was treat
ed to 50 or ten days; and Frank Walker
got SO or 80 days for petit larceny.
And quite funny thing happened dur
ing the morning. Andrew Anderson
was up for having tied his cow where
1t could get on the sidewalk. The fine
was 81, and after imposing it, the may
or turned to the clerk and said: II
reckon you will have to enter a dollar
against me. toos have been having
my COW tied too close to the street;
but was not aware that there was an
ordinance on the subject"
