Exit tho Straw Hat.
York county haberdashers have been
doing a rushing business in wool hats
the past few days, the cool straw hat
of the summer time having made its
exit on September Is. From time I'M
memorial it has been the custom
throughout the country for men and
BOYS to discard their straw hats on
September 15, and change to felt
thereby creating new business for the
dealers in hats. OF course there are
| those who continue to wear their
straws until they get good and darn
ready to change to something else re-
gardless of this unwritten law of
style; but there are not many and
York county dealers having taken good
care to have full line of the newest

: Progressive CoIored Church.
A handsome colored church por-
traying the progress and general pros
perity of the colored people who live
within its bounds. is "Zoar," located
in the vicinity of Piedmont Springs. A
representative of The Enquirer recent
ly passed by the church and was much
impressed with it's good appearance
the edifce being q large wooden
structure, attractively painted and the
grounds surrounding kept in very
neat and orderly. manner. "Zoar,
suppose is one of the largest and most
progressive colored churches in York
county" said Ia gentleman who rs
familiar with most of the a Negro
churches in the county. "Colored peo-
pie who are members of Zoar, that is
the big majority of them are well, be-
haved, hard working farmers who
make good citizens and who spend all
of their influence toward the religious
and educational progress of their race.
The church property at Zoar Is worth
several thousahd dollars"
Tho World's Series.
York county baseball bugs whose
tribe is increasing every year anG
whose ranks include not only the
young fellows but numerous staid and
serious minded older men and not
| few women, are looking forward tc
the opening of the Worlds Champion
ship Baseball Series to be played this
year between the CINCINNATI team OF
the National League and the Chicago
team of the American League. Race
for the championship in the two big
leagues has been more or less CT nip
and tuck affair with several OF the
clubs this year and the record OF
games especially during the past
month, have been followed by fans
with quite q bit of interest. Local
enthusiasts and partisans are about
equally divided this year in their pre-
dictions as to which team will win the
worlds championship, and indeed, ac-
cording 10 the dope of the sporting
writer's, there is no telling until the
series has been played as to the Win
ner, because the result of n baseball
contest is not nearly so certain as
death or taxes, no mater who Is play
ing. Very probably arrangements will
be made with the Western Union this
year as usual to get the daily results
of the games in Yorlville, the local
fans to chip in on the expense.
| As to log LICENSES
Time for the payment of dog licenses
in Yorkville expired on September Is,
and there is very likely to be whole
sale roundup of "yaller" dogs, hound
dogs and dogs Of various and sundry
pedigree. whose owners have not paid
the license upon their pets. The dog
license tax of Yorkville this year has
been increased TO 81 for male dogs
and s5 for females, and it has raised n
holy howl in some quarters, although
the majority of dog owners of the town
are of the opinion that n dog that is
worth keeping is worth paying S4 or
SIS tax on. According to the records
of Town Treasurer J. +. Faulkner,
license tax has been paid on rs dogs
this year as against 143 last year
when the tax was less. A number of
dog owners, evidently with the in
tention of lodging the tax, have sent
their dogs to country friends to keep
for q season at least, some of them
with the idea of bringing them home
after the tax matter has been for
gotten for the year. The tax has prov
ed q pretty heavy blow on several
