Prof. !. w. Williams, superintendent

Mr.. J. 3. Scott advises US that the
estimate Of $50 each on two Of the pigs
he lost by cholera recently, was rather
higher than he would have been will

information from Catawba river yes
terday was to the effect that while
there was lots of ice fringing the banks
of the stream, the ice did not extend
out into the current. 1t takes several
days of bitter, cold weather to freeze
the Catawba across, and this does not
happen very often.
There is reason to believe that the
severe cold Of Saturday night, Sunday
and yesterday will go a good way to-
ward ensuring a fruit crop this sum-
mer. The mild, spring-like weather
was rushing the fruit trees right along,
and it is a question as to whether dam
age has not already been done.
at is no trouble to make business in
this country when one wants to-" re-
marked one Of Yorkville's brightest

The Columbia State, Of last Sunday,
reproduces the paper prepared by D.
E. Finley, Jr., Of Yorkville, on the
Confederate Navy" in competition for
the medal offered to the students Of
the South Carolina university, by the
Daughters of the Confederacy. The
paper fills nearly page Of The State,
and Is an admirable condensation Of
the history of the Confederate navy.
1t tells the stories Of the Merrimack,
the Albermarle, the Arkansas, the Ala
bama, and the parts each played. The
paper is quite interesting throughout
and does the writer much credit.
There should be a general turn out
of the people Of Yorkville and the sur
rounding country to hear DIR. Walter
Cheyne lecture on tuberculosis on Feb
ruary 10. DR.. Cheyne has made spe-
cialty Of this subject for number Of
years, and he Is in a position to tell
pretty nearly all that is known about
it. 1t seems to have been about settled
among the members of the medical
profession that the best way to fight
tuberculosis is to prevent it, and it is
believed that if there was more general
knowledge on the subject, the danger
would be very much lessened. If there
is large audience, especially of min
listers and teachers out to hear DR..
Cheyne, there will be no estimating the
educational value Of his lecture
