Chester Reporter, May II: Local
disciples Of Izaak Walton, Of whom
there seem to be not a few, need no
longer bewail the fact that there is
such a poor sport hereabouts with
hook and line as Col. T. N. Cunningham
has generously offered the use Of sew
eral acres Of land about one-fourth Of
a mile in the rear of his residence for
the purpose Of making fish pond and
persons who have looked the site over
say that it Is an ideal spot for such a
purpose. Col. Cunningham does not
propose, however, that the land that
he shall turn over to this association
shall be used for fishing purposes only,
but suggests that another pond be
constructed for bathing purposes, that
tennis courts be constructed, q club
house erected, ETC., and In short
country club organized. Col. Cum
ningham's offer is exceedingly gener-
erous, and 1t Is not believed that any
great sum Of money will be required
to construct the dam, grade the tennis
courts, etc. Messrs. T. L. Eberhardt
and D. R. Farthing are moving spirits
in the construction Of this proposed
pond and park, which should prove
veritable haven Of delight to the pub
lie on hot afternoons, and those who
would like to become members Of the
association that it will be necessary to
organize should speak to Mr.. Eber-
| hardt or Mr.. Farthing .....Mr w. A.
Pittman Of the Armenia neighborhood,
who has a very fine four-acre field or
wheat, was deploring the fact Satur-
| day, that there Is no mill closer than
Yorkyille where he can have his wheat
ground, and this brings to light con-
dition that the business men or Ches-
ter must remedy If they hope for the
| farmers of the county to grow wheat
TO any considerable extent in the fu-
ture. 80. Mr.. John Frazer, Jr., died
|
few days illness and will be laid to
rest this afternoon in Evergreen ceme-
terry, after funeral services at his late
residence on Mcclure street, by Rev.
H. A. Bagby, d. D.. Plans are al :
ready under way for big Fourth Of
July celebration in Chester this year,

this year, and Chester's celebration

the Grassy Pond section Of the county
state that hail fell fast and furious"
there Saturday afternoon at the time
it was raining in Gaffney. The storm
lasted only few minutes, however,
| doing only q slight damage to grow
| ing vegetation. A longer period or
| the storm would have been almost de-
vastating to the crops in the opinion
Of those who saw the fall. An
automobile in which Messrs. P. L.
Camp, Howard Belue and two other
men were coming from Blacksburg to
Gaffney yesterday morning, turned
over when about mile out Of Blacks
