aYorIsyills on a, Show Day." azsxszre
The following from the Associate
Reformed Presbyterian, presumably
from one Of the missionaries to Mexi-
CO, is interesting: Sabbath is the one
market day in Tancanhuitz! The In
dians begin to arrive before am up,
and by nine o'clock, the plaza is worse
than "Yorkville on show day" Be-
cause of the timidity of the Indians,
and their habit Of letting other people
strictly alone, the stores have to ar
range their goods in tents and stands
on the plaza to get the Indians trade"
Hail Tuesday Afternoon.
There was rain Tuesday afternoon,
accompanied by hail In Yorkville, and
the circumstance gave reason for ap-
prehension that there may have been
damage to crops; but inquiry or diff
ferent localities by telephone did not
disclose much loss. Corn and cotton
were hurt a little in the vicinity Of
McConnellsville; but hardly enough to
count. Hickory Grove reported hail
but no damage and the report from
Tirzah was the same. There was no
hail at Sharon. There was hail in the
vicinity of Kings Mountain Chapel;
but none at Glover or Bethany.

Death Of Mr.. D. w. Hicks. 2.t
News was received in Yorkville yes
terday of the sudden death Of Mr.. d.
w. Hicks, formerly citizen of York.
vile. but for some years past making
his home in Gaffney. Mr.. Hicks re-
tired the night before in apparently
his usual good health, and when his
wife sought to awake him at $50 yes
terday morning found him dead. He
had expired some time during the
night. The funeral took place In Gaff-
ney this morning at IL o'clock, the
services being conducted by Rev. j. L.
Dill. Mr.. Hicks was a native Of
Rutherford county and was In the $50
year of his age. He came to Yorkville
about 1890 to buy cotton, and on May
IA, 1893, was married to Miss Jessie,
the youngest daughter OF the late
Capt L. M. Grist. He later engaged
In the mercantile business and after
! ward moved to Gaffney. He leaves a
| widow and three sons, Duke W., Oliver
2. and Fred Sims. He Is also survived
by five brothers and one sister, Dr.
Romeo, Messrs. June, r. L., Zeno, b. T.,
and Miss Nora Hicks. The Carney
Ledger of this morning has this to
say of Mr.. Hicks: Mr.. Hicks was q
consistent member Of the First Bap-
tist church of this city, being an ofh-
Ger. He was a most lovable gentle-
| man. Quiet, unassuming and unob-
trusive he made and retained friends
and II is safe to say that few men in
Gaffney were held in higher esteem.
BY reason Of his occupation, cotton
buyer, he caroe in contact with a great
many people throughout the county
and by these was generally esteemed.
In an acquaintance covering more than
half score years we have yet to hear
the first man say aught against him
as a man or citizen. The kindly feel
ing he bore toward others was reel
procated."
