Notes and Comments About Matters
of Local Interest.
Chester Lantern, August 22: Mr.. l.
Med Hood has received a letter from
some northern engineers relative to
the proposed Chester Great Falls troll
ley line. The eyes of the whole coun-
try seem to be on this route and 1t is
entirely possible that something def
mite will be forthcoming in the near
future. .......A marriage that will be
of interest to friends of both contract
ing parties, is that of Miss Effie
Bowles to Mr.. ]. S. Towns, which was
solemnized at the Methodist parsonage
on Monday evening at $50, the Rev.
M. w. Hook, officiating. Only few
friends were present at the ceremony.
Mrs. Towns is a young woman of low
able disposition and has many friends
who wish her we'll. Mr.. Towns has a
responsible position at the Southern
freight office and is very popular with
all who know him. Mr.. and Mrs. Towns
left this morning for Martinsburg, Va,
to spend several days with his rela-
tives. Death on Thursday last
claimed Mrs. James M. Kirkpatrick at
her home at Lowryville. The funeral
services took place on Friday and the
remains were buried in Zion cemetery
at Lowryville. The deceased was about
65 years of age, and is survived by the
following children: Messrs. Fits and
Fields Kirkpatrick, Miss Bessie Kirk
patrick, Mrs. Tom PRESLEY and Mrs.
Adam PRESLEY. Her maiden name was
Ross, and she has two living brothers
and two living sisters in the west. She
was a loyal member Of the Bethany
Methodist church and a noble woman,
A vast host of friends sympathize with
the children in their bereavement.
Rock Hill Herald, Aug %: Miss Jen-
ME Lyle of Lando, died Saturday of
pellagra after long illness. Funeral SER
vices were conducted at Edgmoor Sun
day by Rev. Mr.. Lummus Of the A. r.
P. church of that place. Miss Lyle was
a sister of DR.. David Lyle and Mrs. w.
w. Fennel of this city,. Sullivan &
Longs steam ditcher has arrived in the
city and it is being placed in condition
for operation. The machine was ship
ped from Greenville and arrived last
Friday. Now since the ditcher has ar
rived, work on the sewerage system
will be pushed rapidly. The work has
been progressing nicely as 1t is, but a
greater amount of work can be done
by steam. The contractors are getting
along we'll with the work. Blasting
has been done in some parts Of the
city and with this exception great
progress has been made. UP to the
present time over 1900 applications for
admission to Winthrop college have
been received. Of this number only
about 700 can be admitted on account
of lack of dormitory room. Here Is
for the lawmakers to ponder
over. Thirteen hundred girls seeking
education at Winthrop and only room
for seven hundred! 1t is a shame on
the state. On Sunday morning
about 3 o'clock, while officers Straight
and Eubanks were peacefully watching
over the city, big coon stuck its head
out of the tiling in front of Birds fur
niture store on Main street, just far
enough for a pistol ball to be lodged in
its Uranium, which was fired by Mr..
Eubanks. The officers could not tell
what it was at first, but after exami-
nation they found they had to their
credit 20 pound coon.
