There have been but few trans
fers' of late in the town; but
from many infallible indications
these b a feeling that tbe buai
neas outlook generally b better
tban it has ever been. Itb a no*
Uceable fact also that there are
mote would-be buyers of real-es

nittcd to Mr. Lee a proposition
ooking to the bringing of tbe

rh« proposition was virtually an
icceptsoce of the terms ottered
>y Mr. Lee on behalf of the Ca
awba Power company, and al
bongb he did not feel authoi
sed to dose, he, on bis depart
ire left tbe impression that tbe
tower company would accept.
)ae of the conditions of the pro
fited deal is that the Yorkville

dants and construct tha said
tne in accordance with apecifi
ations to be furnished by tbe

ompony agrees to refund tbs

etting tbe right of way will de
olve npon the Yorkville and
lover people entirely. They,

are selling Dr. Howard’s cele
brated specific for the cure of
dyspepsia and constipation. In
addition to selling a fifty cent
