again with the result that the retail
price has hit the toboggan. In this
correspondence several weeks ago

price 1t is estimated 5000 eggs were

Hill Chamber Of Commerce said today
that the Chamber was now busy trying
to obtain quarters for jurors, witnesses
and others who would be- in Rock Hill
within the next few days in attendance
upon the spring term OF the United
States district court. Ever since the
court was established at this place
there has been much difficulty in find

due to the local scarcity of hotel and
boarding house accommodate An
