WITHIN THE TOWN.

ALL the ladies will be out to see the
hat display tonight.
- The whisky receipts at the local
express office are so light Eow-a days
as to be Of small consequence.
- The gardeners are becoming clam
orous for laborers, and because the
work has to be done all at once, there
are hardly enough laborers to go
round.
The Thomson company and the
Kirkpatrick Belk company, have some
beautiful show windows, hidden behind

- Mayor Hart Is sorely perplexed as
to where he can get location for
pest house, without concerning the peo-
pie in the immediate vicinity. Author
tiles and operatives of the York mills
seriously object to the location of the
pest house near their premises.
- The ladies of the First Presbyterian
church took in about $45 at their spring
market in the court house last Satur
day. They sold butter, eggs, bread,
cakes, vegetables and fancy needle
work; but their stock was not nearly
sufficient to supply the demand. Ev-
erything was gone in an hour or two,
after the sale commenced.
The "Amuse-U Theatre" has been
re- e-opened under the management Of
Mr.. B. P. Conner. This theatre had
been pretty badly missed By large
number Of people, who found pleasure
in almost regular attendance. The
management now makes the agreeable
promise of nightly pictures with films
twice as long as those which have been
used heretofore. There was quite
large audience out last night, and it is
pretty safe to say that the patronage
will continue in proportion to the SER
vice rendered.
Up to the present time, only about
thirty citizens Of YOrkville have quail
flied themselves to vote in the APP
preaching town election, which is now
only about two months off. Tine people
generally are taking very little interest
in the matter; but all should remember
that those who fail to qualify them
selves as voters within the next two
months, will be debarred from having
any voice in the affairs of the town
during the following two years. Mr..
T. w. C1awson is the local supervisor
of registration, and will provide all
those who apply to him and who are
otherwise qualified, with certificates.
Eligibility to municipal registration
consists in the possession of receipts
showing all past due taxes paid, and
also of a state registration certificate.
Those who have no state registration
certificate have but two more chances
to get them-the first Monday in April
and the first Monday in May. Wise
ones will look after the matter on the
first Monday in April. Those who have
state registration certificates, will do
we'll to get their municipal registration
certificates at once.
A case of smallpox was discovered
in Yorkville last Saturday, the patient
being a negro named Bob Jackson. 1t
appears that the negro mad been sick
nearly three weeks, and was nearly
We'll before his case became known to
the authorities He was occupying one or
the houses on the Southern railroad,
near the depot. and arranged to go to
Whites place. Mr.. White discovered
the disease after the negro moved, and
reported the matter to Mr.. r. f. Mont

health, at once Mr.. Montgomery had
Jackson and his wife moved to the pest
hhOuse, on the northeastern outskirts OF
town. Jackson's wife now has a well
developed case of the disease. Jack
son, himself. is now practically recOv-
cred but will be kept in the pest house
with his wife. The health authorities
have made extensive Investigations as
to the people who have been probably
exposed to the disease through jack
son, and are hoping that there has been
no chance for a great deal of spread.
They feel more confident and encour-
aged, however, because vaccination
was so general during the epidemic at
the York Cotton Mills a year ago.
