WITHIN THE TOWN

| - Numbers Of local citizens who want
their garden spots turned under for
the winter are complaining that they
have been unable to get anybody to
do the work who has the necessary
|. equipment. 1t is stated that II some
farmer with a plow and harrow would
| inquire among the citizens OF the town
and desired such work he could get
enough garden plowing to do to keep
him busy for several weeks at least.
H. w. Witherspoon, farmer of
York No. G, is making preparations to
enter the dairy business here. Mr..
Witherspoon believes that there is an
opening for such a business here and
in the event it should prove profitable
he sees no reason why he should not
| be able to sell his butter fat to
creameries in surrounding counties at
profit. His idea is to start off with
six cows.
- The Mackorell Drug Company
which was put out Of business several
weeks ago by reason of fire which
did considerable damage t o the stock
and fixtures is making arrangements
to reopen for business. The interior
of the building is being worked over
and it is the intention Of the manage
ment to reopen as soon as the neces-
sary arrangements can be made.
A potato storage house with a ca
pacity of several hundred bushels has
been built on the farm Of Frank P.
Morrison which farm lies near the
Cannon Mill and the house is being
made available for the storage Of
sweet potatoes of farmers of the COM
munity. The potato storage house
was built by John c. Thrift who re-
Gently sold his farm to Mr.. Morrison.
The sweet potato crop according to
farmers is turning out unusually well
this season and numbers of farmers
who have recently brought sweet po-
tatoes to town for sale have readily
disposed of them at 81 a bushel.
- Yorkville High meets Chester High
in game of football on the local
field this afternoon and battle royal
is expected While Chester is sup
posed to have a better team than the
locals according to press reports from
Chester, several of the Chester regu-
lars will be out Of the lineup this
afternoon and that is expected to even
things up somewhat. The dope is
that a number of Chester football en-
thusiasts are coming to Yorkville for
the game and an effort is being made
to get out a big crowd Of local folks
for the game, which is to start at $3.50
p. m. Coach Gressette's gang has
been hard at practice during the week
and the boys are determined to give
the very best account of themselves
possible.
-Fraternal leaders in the town and
community are complaining Of the
lack of interest Of their members in
the respective fraternities during the
past several weeks and the statement
has been made that interest Is so
lethargic that it is hardly possible to
get more than a quorum to attend
meeting of any fraternity that has
membership in the town. 1t is re-
,ported that two of the local fraterni-
ties that have been fourishing in the
past are now seriously considering the
surrender OF their respective charters
since the great majority of their men,
bers have failed to pay dues for the
past quarter. One of these local ira
ternities has several hundred dollars
in its treasury and in the event the
charter is surrendered this money Will
go to swell the Golfers of the supreme
lodges.
- The series of revival services in
progress at Trinity Methodist church
during the past ten days with Rev.
J. G. Huggin of Glover, doing the
preaching, came to a close Wednes-
day evening and it was stated that
number of persons had affiliated them
selves with the Methodist church and
other churches of the town as a re-
suit of the meeting. Large congrega-
tions heard Rev. Huggin at practically
each of the services and he impressed
his hearers as being a preacher OF
great power and persuasion. In his
final sermon of the meeting Wednes-
day evening Rev. Huggin talked of sin
and the frailties of humankind in |
many particulars as he has done at |
oil his services and his closing SER
mon was declared by many who heard |
him throughout the meeting as being |
one of the most impressive of the en-
tire series. God doesn't think much |
Of the man or woman who is seized |
with periodic spells of religion, he
said among other things. There are
many of this kind who grow very
pious on Sunday morning and then go
back to their favorite pursuit of negro
cheating on Monday. Some think it is
proper for one to affect reli-
rion while a meeting is in progress
ord then forget oil about it when the
preacher has taken his departure.
