CORRESPONDENCE Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Glover. June 9.-While it is a fact
that from a commercial view point
there is very little. if anything more
than usual doing here. it is also true
that during the past ten days or two
weeks Cloverites have been as thor
oughly entertained, amused and in
structed as the most eXacting could
desire.
The protracted meeting commenced
in the Methodist church on Sunday,
May 81. in which the pastor, Rev. II
B. Hardy, is being assisted by Rev. d.
II, Comann of LenOir. n. c., continues
with increasing interest. Mr.. Comann
is a preacher OF exceptional ability
and has delivered a number of line
practical, gospel sermons. AS yet no
opportunity has been given to unite
with the church, but there Is no doubt
that much good has been accomplish
ed. The meeting will probably close
tomorrow night or Thursday.
The whole community as well as
the surrounding country took lively
interest in the old fiddler's convention
which was pulled off in the opera
house on Friday night and it's promot-
ers are congratulated on the unqual-
flied success Of the undertaking.
On last Saturday an excursion train
bearing about 175 people was run
from Chester to this place. The prl-
mary object in operating the train
was to give a days outing to the en-
ployes of the c. & NV. railway and
their families, but these were accom-
panied by numerous friends from the
good town of Chester. They seemed
to enjoy the day to the limit and II
passed pleasantly for all. In the after
noon there was a game of ball be.
tween the Mechanics" of Chester and
the Glover team. At the start the
game promised to be close, interest
ing and exciting, but after two OF
three innings had been played the Me-
chanics lost their grip and the game
dragged to the eighth when the Visl-
tors threw up the sponge. The score
was II to in favor of Glover.
On next Friday afternoon clover Is
to play Fort Mill on the local dla.
mond, and, while the locals are not
at all confident of victory it is thell
purpose to do their level best to inter-
est the visitors While it is fact thal
the Glover team is fully up to its aver
understanding here that Fort Mill Is
sending out an exceptionally strong
aggregation this year hence the doubt
An unusually large attendance OF low
ers of the game from this and neigh
boring towns, as well as the surround
ing country is expected.
Not in years has the fruit crop In
this section. and especially peaches
been so large and Of as fine quality as
that now beginning to ripen. 1t Is
claimed by those in position to speak
intelligently that conditions as to sol
and climate in and around Glover are
very similar to those of the famous
Ridge section in Saluda or Edgehelo
counties, and that should our people
give the matter of peach culture the
same intelligent attention that it re-
ceives there, similar results would
follow. It has already been demon
strated that as fine Strawberries can
be produced here as anywhere and at
as low cost.
DR.. e w. Pressly returned home
last week after an extended stay in
Chicago and visit to his brother in
Birmingham, Ala. The doctor. whose
health has not been good for several
months. reports his condition as
greatly improved.
