WITHIN THE TOWN.
- Business has been very good this
week.
THE probability Is that most busi-
ness will be suanended next Thursday,
Thanksgiving.
- There has been quite large at
tendance on court all week. All sec
tions Of the county are represented.
- The police say that there has been
very little liquor in evidence this week
and no arrests have been made on ac-
count Of drunkenness.
The advance Of cotton to IL cents
has made some difference in the local
receipts, but there Is not yet any
strong disposition to rush to market.
- Several local buyers made advance
guesses on the ginners' report a few
days ago and one Of them came within
1000 bales Of the government figures.
The old Methodist church building,
opposite the cemetery, is being torn
down. This building has been not
able landmark of Yorkville for a great
many years. It was erected originally
by the Independent Presbyterians, and
after the union Of that denomination
with the Presbyterians was sold to the
Methodis;s who used 1t until they erec-
ted the handsome brick church they
now occupy. The removal Of the old
building will leave an open space which
under the auspices of the cemetery
association, assisted by the Ladies'
Auxiliary, will probably be converted
into a small park.
The Nicely Manufacturing compa-
ny started its cotton mill yesterday.
The electric connection was made last
Saturday: but 1t was not until yester-
day that the electricity was turned on
to the motors Of the mill. Everything
worked nicely enough except that the
electric current Is rather strong by
reason of the fact that all Of the ap-
pliances for its complete control have
not yet been adjusted. The carding
machinery of the mil was put in oper-
alton yesterday; but the general spin
ming machinery will not be down to
business for several days. The card
ing machinery has q certain amount OF
work to turn out before the spindles
can take 1t up to advantage.
