The approach Of Easter has put
the retail price Of eggs up to Is cents.
The prevailing prices in the stores for
some weeks past has been 10 and 12a

sr The first quarterly drill competition
for the Miller. medal was held on the
K. M. M. A. green last Wednesday af-
ternoon. w. w. Lewis, Esq.,, acted as
Judge and after witnessing some very
creditable work on the part Of the ca

A prominent citizen of the Beershe-
ba neighborhood requests THE ENoUIR-
Err to call the attention to tba fact
that the Rutherford road extension of
West Liberty street is in horrible con-
dition between the waterworks and the
mile post why" he said, that old
hill at the 'hangman. tree Is so, bad
that you can hardly get up 1t or down
it except at the risk Of breaking your
neck. If our people had such road
as that beyond the mile post, we would
fix 1t, If we had to work over time and
do 1t ourselves; but we do not feel like
coming into town to work the roads.
I wish the town council would try to
do something"
The county board Of commission
ers held their regular monthly meeting
in the office Of the supervisor last
Wednesday. All of the members Of the
board were present and the day was
spent in the transaction Of routine
business. There was a petition for the
chaingang on the Lincoln road, the
citizens of the vicinity offering to sup
plement the labor furnished by the
county with considerable donations OF
money, material and labor. There was
no action on the part of the board
however. A petition was granted for
the re-opening Of the old road from
McAfees bridge to Castles's store. A
large number of accounts were audited
and paid.
The. Carolina and North western
management has given notice that Its
new summer schedule Is to be inau-
gurated next Monday. Under this
schedule the northbound mail train
will pass Yorkville at 9.20 a. m, and
the southbound train will pass at 6.23
p. m. The freight train, which also
carries passengers will be due here a.
m. on it's southbound trip and at 1902
p. m. going north. This new arrange
ment will probably improve present
mail accommodations, and it will also
permit people along the line Of the
road to go either way in the morning
and return in the same day. The
schedule will no doubt be generally
satisfactory.
* Last Friday afternoon the Tenny-
son devotees assembled at the resi-
dence of Mrs. S. M. McNeel promptly
at 4 o'clock for the study Of the finest
of all the Idyls, Guinevere. Miss Gist
being out of town, Mrs. r. T. Stephen
son directed the lesson in her stead,
and read the beautiful poem in her
usual acceptable style. The poem
carries a grand moral lesson as all
students and lovers of it know, and
it was the outspoken regret that so
many of the faithful members were
absent on this afternoon Of all meet
ings. Those present were Mrs. w. H.
Herndon, Mrs. S. M. McNeel, Mrs. w.
G.. Stephenson, Mrs. w. G. Neville,
Miss Margaret Daniel, Mrs. r. T. Ste
phenson, Mrs. H. A. c. Walker, Misses
Hulda McNeel and Jennie Hart.
This has been a busy week in
Yorkville. one Of the busiest Of the
season so far Although salesday,
Monday, was really dull rather than
otherwise. 1t was the dullest salesday
since last summer. There were but a
few people in town from the country,
and they did not seem to have much
business. Tuesday, however, was
quite an improvement, but was wet
and disagreeable, but still the number
