WITHIN THE TOWN.

The directors Of the York C3ttor
mills held their regular monthly meet
ing yesterday.
| 1.-The Clyburn-Heath Mule company
Mas just added a pneumatic tired bug
E1 to the rolling stock Of their livery
stable. It Is the first vehicle Of thu
kind ever brought to Yorkvllle, and /:
exciting much interest.
The annual election on the ques'
tion Of voting a special two mill ta'
for the support Of the Yorkville Grad
ed school, was held last Monday after
noon. In all only ten votes were cast
and all were in favor Of the tax.
There are rumors Of a proposed
change Of schedule on the Caroline
and North Western railroad, whereby
the northbound mail train will arrive
in Yorkville at about o'clock, a. m.
and the sounthbound at about O'Clock
p. m.
In pursuance Of the law on the sub
ject, Clerk Wylie, on Monday, posted
notice advising the public that ju'
rors for the July term Of court would
be drawn at his Office on Tuesday
June a. Court convenes on July IA
his honor, Judge Buchanan, presiding
-Messrs. J. J. Keller & Co., are get
ting the Episcopal church to point
where the public can form an idea OF
what the building will look like when
the remodelling plans are completed
and it is quite plain that there is to be
marked improvement in appearance
both inside and outside.
The town council wants 1t distinct
ly understood that no drunkenness is
to be tolerated on the streets. Mayor
Willis has issued sweeping instruc-
tions to the police and the liquor
drinking public will do we'll to look for
the enforcement Of the town ordinance
on the subject to the letter. Individ-
uals who try the experiment Of seeing
how far they can go with safety, are
likely to find the police meeting them
at least half way.
The failure Of the board Of trustees
to re-elect Mr.. ]. c. Daniel to the su-
perintendency, has been very gene
raj surprise to the patrons. There has
been some talk Of a probable change,
but it could not be traced to an au-
thentic source. Many people hold to
the opinion that for all round efficien-
cy, the school has never had better
superintendent. While it Is known
that the trustees were deadlocked over
the subject for an hour or more, they
are not disposed to give out their rea-
sons for their action. 1t Is hoped that
Mr.. Walker, Of whom very littl'. is
known here, will prove as acceptable
TO the people as has Mr.. Daniel.
The members of the recently elect
ed town council were sworn into office
last Saturday night as follows: M. C.
Willis, mayor; Sam NJ. Grist, Walter
b. Moore, John J. Hunter, John P.
White, Thos. G.. Dunlap, Mason L. Car
roll. After organization the subject of
recognizing the police force was taken
up and discussed with the result that
Mr.. P. w. Love was unanimously re-
elected chief, and Mr.. John A. Har-
shaw, formerly deputy sheriff, was
elected policeman. w. w. Lewis, Esq,
was chosen as attorney for the town,
and it was decided to move the coun-
ell chamber from the uncomfortable
quarters now occupied over the law Of
flee of Messrs. Finley & Brice, to Law
Range, in the rear Of the court house.
A heavy windstorm passed over
the town last Sunday afternoon. The
