WITHIN THE TOWN.


The Civic League continues to
work steadily and is making a very,
showing.
The electric current has a very
inconvenient way Of suspending busi-
ness on Saturday afternoons, about
the time the cotton mills shut down.
Mr.. T. P. Moore and others are
soliciting subscriptions for a big yarn
mill. They have assurances that the
necessary capital will be raised with
but little difficulty.

Peaches are not very plentiful this
year; but there are some. Mr.. w. II.
Mcconnell has sent The Enquirer a
handsome specimen Of the Triumph
variety, matured along with a dozen
others on a tree on his premises. The
tree was protected from the frost by
the house, and although all the peaches
are somewhat faulty, are much better
than no fruit.
Misses Loula and Frances Allen
entertained quite a party Of their
young friends on Thursday Of last
week, between the hours Of $50 and
7.8O. The lawn Of their home present
ed q very gay scene. After indulging
in games for an hour on the lawn, the
party was ushered into the dining room
to the strains Of a spirited march,
played by Miss Mary FAINT Herndon.
The table was charmingly decorated
in a color scheme Of green and pink.
and place cards designated each
guests position. Very pretty and ap-
propriate favorss were found at each
place, and a merry hour was spent
over delicious refreshments Of ices and
cake, the color scheme Of green and
pink being carried out here also. A
large number of guests attended, and
each was agreed in the opinion that
1t was a most delightful affair.
AS the result Of oversight, some
complications have arisen with refer
ence to the constitution Of the board
of trustees Of the Yorkville Graded
school, Under the law, two trustees
are to be elected each year for terms
of four years. The election one year
Is to be at the time Of the regular
election and the next year
on the last Tuesday in May. Vacancies
caused by resignation, or otherwise,
more than four months before the
time Of a regular election, are to be
filled by special elections. All elec-
tions for trustees are to be called and
held under the auspices Of municipal
after the necessity for
them has been certified by the board
of trustees. DR.. J. D. Mcdowell, who
was chosen at the last regular session,
declined to qualify, and his place has
been vacant ever since. Mr.. o. E.
Grist resigned in January last, and his
place was not filled. The regular
terms of Mr.. Grist and Mr.. w. D.
Glenn expired on the last Tuesday in
May, and no election having been
held for their successors at that time,
1t is a question as to whether there Is
now any legal way Of filling their
places. AS to whether there is any le-
gal cure for the situation seems to be
a matter of very grave doubt.
