WITHIN THE TOWN

Just q few more finishing touches
by the painters and the masons and
the new Associate Reformed church
will be complete.
AT a congregational meeting in
the Associate Reformed church last
Sunday, Mr.. w. J. P. Wylie was elect
ed to the office Of ruling elder.
- Mr.. A. s. Barron, who has been in
the livery business in Yorkville for a
number Of years past, moved his plant
to Chester yesterday and will continue
to do business at that place.
- The Southern Express company
requests The Enquirer to say that it
will carry to the flood sufferers free Of
charge, contributions Of money and
packages Of supplies not exceeding
100 pounds weight Such consign-
ments must be addressed to munich
pal authorities or the red cross OFF,

The ladies are getting busy in be-
half Of their proposed County Fair en-
tertainment and II they do not make
a bigger success Of the entertainment
than has been made heretofore, York
vile will fall short Of her usual repu-
tation in such matters. This County
Fair" by the way has been planned
on an unusually large scale, and it
may be taken as a sure thing, that 1t
will be something worth while.
The Shandon hotel automobile bus
was destroyed by fire about seven
o'clock this morning. The fire was
caused by the inefficiency Of the
sparker on the machine, which ignited
the woodwork and completely destroy
ed the machine. The fire department
responded to the call but was unable
to extinguish the fire. The automo-
bile was valued at about $500 and
there was no insurance.
There are no new developments In
the campaign for the Yorkville post
nlastership, other than that there Is
persistent rumor of another probable
candidate. whose identity has not yet
been made public. While petitions In
the matter are being directed to the
president, 1t is pretty generally under
stood that the final choice will have to
be made by Congressman Finley, as
Democratic president would not think
Of making an appointment Of post
master over the head Of a Democratic
congressman in the congressman's
home town.
"The Winking Parson,' at the Idle
Hour last week, was one Of the fun
nleSI plCtuTeS tIldl ldS DtSH SeeH lOi
some time. AS the result Of a nervous
disorder affecting the nerves Of his
eyes, the parson would wink involun-
tarily. While afflicted with this trou-
BILE the parson accepted call to
new congregation and the fun came
on at a reception where he winked at
the women as they were being intro
duced. Some took the winking all
right, and others took 1t all wrong;
but the big trouble came when the
old maid saw that the parson had also
winked at the widow. The picture
made lots of fun.
THE Rainbow Kimono," comedy,
was presented in the Graded school
auditorium last Friday evening by
the students studying expression at
the school. The cast Of characters
was composed of Misses Martha Mar
shall, Mary Fant Herndon, Rachel
Wylie, Louise Barron, Mary and Ir-
ma Williams, Elizabeth Wiiborn, Miri-
am, White and Nellie Hart and all
carried out their. parts we'll. Miss
Maud Eberhardt rendered the music
of the evening. Readings by Frank
McElwee, Marjorie Wilkins, Margaret
McDow, William Glenn, Sarah Grist.
Frances Witherspoon and Evelyn
Shieder were also interesting features
Of the entertainment. The expression
department of the Graded school is
under the direction Of Miss Olive
Walker of Yorkville, and the enter
tainment Friday night was evidence
Of the fact that the pupils are accom-
plishing much under her instruction.
Quite a large number of friends and
patrons Of the school attended the
entertainment.
