cotton on the Walhalla market this

cotton here, and the fact Of an extra

be his endeavor to give the very top
Of the market at all times.

The Court House is being re-
paired under the supervision of Su-
pervisor Phillips and Contractor II.
G. Busch. For some time the roof
had been leaking, and this condition
becoming more serious, it was feared
that damage would result by reason
Of the rains during cold weather.
The coping at the top of the wings
Of the building is being removed
doing away with the concealed gut
ters, where the trouble lay, and q
new roof of metal shingles is taking
the place Of the old. This work is
made to correspond with the main
part Of the building, the roof of
which projects beyond the walls.
Mrs. ]. w. Bowen. Of Mount
Pleasant, who is visiting relatives
here, received word from her hus-

storm at that place was the worst
since 1893. Dr.. Bowen and his son
and Rev. Driggers. of Walhalla, were
together Sunday night at the Bowen
home, which was nnroofed and bad
ly damaged. The doctors office
was blown down and his stables were
demolished. After the roof left the
dwelling the three occupants of the
home managed to get to small
building used as harness house, and
in that they took refuge during the
worst Of the storm. DR.. Bowen
states in his letter to his wife that
many houses at Mount Pleasant we're
totally demolished, and those left
standing are nearly all roofless.

great advantage to the school and
the children to have the enrolment
as nearly as possible complete on
the first day. The faculty for tho
coming session will contain the fol-
lowing names: Fl. w. GasQue, super
intendent; Prof. w. r. Smith, Of
