Yorkvhie New Ira suspends.

(From the Rock Hill Herald.)
The many admirers and friends Of
the New Era, of Yorkville, will be
sorry to learn that that paper will be
NO more. e. G. Sandifer, the editor,
was in the city on Monday morning
en- route to Columbia and stated to
us that on account of such poor sup,
port along advertising lines, and be-
coming discouraged from promises
from men who proposed forming a
stock company in his behalf, with
none Of the promises ever material
izing, he felt 1t best to close down.
Editor Sandifer is forceful writer,
and many people throughout the
county will regret to learn that he
will not be in our midst any more.
He had worked up a seemingly good
having circulation Of over
a thousand, and from all appearances
he seemed to be doing a good busi-
ness in the journalistic field. The
advance in the prices of printing ma
terials is, perhaps, more than any
thing else, responsible for The con-
dition Of the paper.

about $2.62 gallon.
