ETA JANE, October 15.-The Will
kinsville Oil Mill company has most of
it's machinery on the ground and
much of it in place, and the mill will
soon be in readiness for work. Messrs.
Kell Brothers Of Blacksburg, have the
contract for putting up the houses,
and they will soon finish that work.
Rev. T. F. Boozer Of Gaffney, went
over to Woodlawn and preached last
Sabbath. From what we learn there Is
a probability of his being called to that
Of the Hickory Grove church, and we
understand that he will preach there
on the evening of the fourth Sabbath
Of this month.
The whooping cough is still in our
community, although 1t is getting
pretty we'll through with its work.
Mr.. T. Jeff Hughes came near being
drowned at Grindell Shoals ferry one
day last week. His horse and buggy
were pushed out of the fiat by another
team, which was in the fiat backing
against them. Mr.. Hughes was In his
buggy at the time and he too was
deep. Mr.. Jim Sparks was in the fiat
and after getting Mr.. Hughes safe, cut
his horse loose from the buggy, and
saved it, too. Mr.. Hughes has for
sometime been engaged in buying
chickens and eggs for the Union mar
ket. Much of his trade comes from
the people of western York and along
the river as low down at Lockhart's.
Mr.. Willie Bell Of Blackstock, visited
friends and relatives in this section
last week. He returned home last Sat-
urday.
Rev. P. B. Ingraham of Hickory, as
sisted Rev. A. H. Best in a protracted
meeting at Messopotamia last week.
Mr.. Ingraham is a great favorite of
our Cherokee people and he always
gets a good congregation when he
comes among them to preach.
Several rural free delivery routes
will soon be started III this county.
Congressman Finley has been untiring
in his efforts to give our people the
very best mail service obtainable, and
we hope he. will be successful In ex-
tending the free delivery service to
other sections Of our county.
Our inquiry through the columns OF
The ENQUIRER about Rev. VIM. Black

information, but gave us some infor-
nation about another important per-
sonage, long since forgotten, Of which
Mr.. r. R.. Peoples Of Matthews, N. c..
writes: II have another record that
may be Of interest to you. 1t is con-
cerning Rev. Isaac Grier, D. D., who

terian minister living in that state;

tributed much to it's prosperity. Mrs.

ing very low at her home in Hickory.
