J Monday, salesday for April,
brought a fairly large number Of peo-
pie to Yorkville, most Of whom came
on business, while many others came
just to be coming. There were not
so many horse traders present as
usual, and business in their line was
rather dull. There was a good deal
of fertilizer hauled out of town as
we'll as other supplies.
- Many new spring dresses and
hats were seen on the streets Sun
day-worn by the women of course.
Very few men wore spring clothes,
not considering the sun quite warm
enough. It was an ideal Easter Sun
day overhead, but quite wet and
muddy under foot. No man was so
bold as to venture forth in a new straw
hat.
The baseball game between the
Yorkville Graded school and the
Chester Graded school teams, sched-
uled for Friday afternoon, had to be
postponed on account Of the weather.
The game with Chester will probably
be arranged for a later time in the
season. Yorkville is scheduled to
play the Rock Hill High school in
Rock Hill next Friday.
Nearly all the Winthrop college
students who live in and near York
Vile, spent Sunday and yesterday
with their parents, returning to the
college last night. The girls wore
their new spring hats which they re-
ceived Saturday. The spring bonnet
is quite different from that Of last
year. 1t is a plain sailor Of Panama
straw, with a large crown, encircled
by a black silk band.
