vicinity are in Columbia today, on ac-
count Of the Inauguration ceremonies.
Cotton brought eight cents per
pound in Yorkville, yesterday, and
there was quite lot sold at that fig
ure. AS a result business houses did
fair business despite the rough
weather.
Appropriate exercises commemor-
ative Of the birthdays Of Generals
Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson
were held in the Yorkville Graded
school auditorium this morning, and a
number Of patrons Of the school at
tended. Following the memorial exer-
cises, the pupils were granted a half
holiday.
-Yorkville is entitled to the inaugu-
ration Of a free delivery Of mail with
two or more carriers; but before the
| postoffice department will consider an
application in this regard, the city
council must name the streets, put up
proper signboards and number the
houses. The government will positive
ly not do this work.
Yorkville is to have q new-busi-
ness house. Harshaw Cloud Co., is
the name Of the new firm which has
just been chartered by the secretary Of
state, with a capital Of $1,000. The pc
titioners are Messrs. E. E. Cloud and
w. o. Harshaw. Mr.. Harshaw who
has been in charge Of the Cloud Cash
Store since its establishment in York
vile, will manage the new business.
Work on the interior finishing Of
the courthouse has been held back
considerably by delay in the installa-
tion of the heating plant One neces-
sary part Of the furnace came broken,
and duplicate is now being awaited
by local freight. Had the heating plant
practicable to do the interior work to
better advantage.
The different items of material
progress discussed at the meeting OF
citizens last Friday night-a public IL
brary, municipal building. the ce-
menting Of the Liberty street side
walk, the enlargement Of the school
building-are all commendable. All
and all have the sanction Of the COM
munity. We beg to suggest however,
that it Is extremely doubtful as to
whether we can have all these things
at once. II it is practicable to get
them all at once, then SO much the
better. If it is not practicable to get
them all at once, 1t will be unwise to
allow hesitation and difference of
opinion to stand in the way Of getting
all. The proper thing, therefore, will
be to agree upon a schedule and work
to it without unnecessary friction.
The coming change in the post
mastership which Is to be accomplish
ed within the next few days probably,
has brought up the question as to
whether there will be any change in
the location Of the office, etc. While
the present quarters Of the office were
ample up to few years back, 1t Is
generally recognized now that they do
not afford sufficient room for the prop
er transaction Of the increased and
increasing business. BY inquiry Of Miss
Maorie Moore the retiring postmaster,
yesterday, 1t was learned that the con-
tract with the government for the
present building expires November 30.
next. Upon inquiry Of Mrs. Nichols.
the new postmaster, she said that she
had given the subject, more or less
consideration; but had come to no
conclusion, in the first place she was
not sure as to what extent the matter
came within her responsibility or dis
cretion, and in the second place she
did not care to undertake anything in
an official capacity until after she had
been duly constituted an official. How
ever, she is Of opinion that II 1t Is pos
sible or practicable to get more suit
able place for an office in desirable
location, she wants the best that Is to
be had, and that so far as she Is con-
cerned she will do everything she can
