Hickory Grove Creamery.
From a citizen of Hickory Grove
last Saturday, the reporter learned
that the promoters who were recently
working on the proposition of getting
up a creamery secured the subscrip-
tions Of sixty shares; but after the
amount was raised there developed
dissatisfaction among the subscribers
and the probability Is that the pro-
posed enterprise will fall through. The
dissatisfaction seems to arise out OF
the fact that there Is strong belief
that there are not now enough cows IN
the neighborhOOd to make a success
of the creamery, and that 1t will be a
long, up hill pull to put the enterprise
on a paying basis,
Beaten Out Of Board Bill,
Chester Reporter: Mr.. NJ. S. Mitch
ell, proprietor Of the Mitchell hotel,
is extremely anxious to learn the
whereabouts Of ]: w. Crenshaw, az
exceedingly smooth and Well-groomed
stranger who stopped at his hosiery
about three weeks ago, inducing Mt
Mitchell while here to fit up the rooms
in the rear Of his dining room for
fruit and produce business and leay-
ing with an unpaid bill of about $l8.
No further word has been received
here from Mr.. Crenshaw, and Mr.
Mitchell is out about $50 that 1t cost
him to fit up the place, in ADDITION
to the amount Of board bill. 1t seems
that Crenshaw stopped over In Column
bia also, and gave the capital city
taste of his artistic performances. He
bought scales galore, also a type
writer and sundry other articles, CIV
ing checks for the same which were
afterwards turned down. The CO.
lumbia trades people managed to get
all their goods back. with the eXcep-
ton of the typewriter, which Is still
in the possession of Crenshaw. Mr.
Mitchell addressed a letter TO j. W.
Crenshaw & Co. at Tampa. Fla, the
city from which Crenshaw pretended
to hail and where he alleged he had
a fiourishing business in operation;
but the letter was returned marked
"Opened by Crenshaw Bros" There
was no further information about the
man who visited Chester. Crenshaw
came here. so he stated, to start up
a business under the firm name or j.
w. Crenshaw e. Co, which was to
handle Florida produce for use on the
local market and was also going to
buy produce off the market here and
shin the same to Florida. His scheme
attracted considerable attention, and
numbers of persons in various parts
of the county have been to see Mr..
Mitchell with reference to selling their
nrOduCe.
