YorkviIIe Good Show Town
I've always wondered why so many
road shows pass up Yorkville," said
one connected with the Ona Demorest
Comedy company show that played
Yorkville last week. "Pve been in
here with shows several times in the
past few years and have found York
vile to be one of the best show towns
in the south. All they've got to do is
to show these people that they've got
a pretty good show and they'll attend
The Demorest show left Florida sew
eral, weeks ago and we didn't make
expenses until we hit Yorkville. Here
we have had good week despite bad
weather. I'm going to put all the
best tent shows l run across wise to
this town."
The Fishing is Good.
IF some of you York county folks
want to enjoy a day or two Of reaI
fishing just come down here" said
Chief of Police ]. Cal Steele Of Great
Falls to whom Views and Interviews
was talking the other day. "We've
got the fish in Catawba river and the
creeks around here. There are cats
and carp and bass and perch and ir
fact almost any kind of fish. The
fishermen don't have thing to do eX-
cept throw their nets and most of the
time those who fish with hooks pull
'em off almost as fast as they car
throw the hooks in the water" Fish
ing is q popular sport with people o1
Great Falls, according to Mr.. Steele
Those who do not care to fish may
buy any quantity they want almost
any time and at most reasonable
prices.
