Warehouse for Sharon.
Uncle Bob" Sherer, mayor Of Sha-
ron, was in Yorkville yesterday on bus
mess. and incidentally to shake hands
with his many friends from all quar-
ters. He said that the corn crop only
promises fairly we'll; but that cotton
looks pretty good. Business. which has
been rather dull Of late, shows signs Of
picking up some, and his people gener-
ally are looking forward with conf
!dence to good business. I'VE are con-
sidering the idea of erecting cotton
warehouse. said Uncle Bob; ,.'and the
undertaking Is pretty well, under way.
You, know the farmers. Of our corner
are some Of the most confirmed holders
Of cotton In the county. They always
have from 300 to 500 bales after the
crop has been sold from all other sec
tions. Now what we want is ware
house that will hold not less than 1000
bales, and to cost something like $2,-
600. We are raising the money on CO.
operative basis Of about $50 share, so
as to get as many people interested as
possible" r.
Rev. Henry Stokes at Sharon. jsfa
Rev, Henry Stokes of Yorkville,
preached in Sharon A. r. p. church
last Sunday morning. 1t was his first
visit to Sharon, and referring to his
impressions this morning, put 1t about
like this: 'I was invited out because
of a few scattering members In that vi
cinity: but what surprised me was the
unusually large congregation. I thought
maybe 1t might be because Of the spe-
cial occasion, and that the previously
announced address of Miss Alexander,
the returned missionary from India
might have something to- do with 1t;
but upon inquiry found that while the
attendance may have been a little
above the average, the Sharon people
attend church with much regularity"
Mr.. Stokes told joke on himself the
fine humor Of which cannot be fully
preserved in print. 1t was to the ef-
feet that he asked one Of the Sharon
folks, "You reckon all these people
came out to hear me?" The reply was:
"Oh, they would come out to hear any
body" Mr.. Stokes was very much
pleased with the address Of Miss Alex
ander and delighted with his expert
ence at Sharon generally.
