Sells It For Cash and For Less See Our Clothing and Get Our Prices Before Buying York and Yorkville. The Kn'iuirer, 3rd. The sum of $5,00 0 in dividends was paid out to stockholders by trie two Yorkville banks yesterday. The Loan &. Savings Bank paid a C per cent semi-annual dividend and tiie First Xational Bank 4 per cent. Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Rooney, who have been living in Yorkville since the first of the year, returned to Michigan yesterday, Mr. Rooney having taken a position in an auto mobile factory which will build trucks for the army. Paul R. Bratton,,of Yorkville, ts included in the roster of Co. B, first battalion, ninth regiment of engin eers, stationed at Philadelphia which according to The Public Ledger is now ready for service, and is expect ed to be among the first units of vol unteers to reach France. James Moore, the 19-year-old son of Mr. W. T. Moore, of Yorkville. is a prisoner of the Germans at Berlin, and his father has just learned of the fact through a letter from the shipping firm S. O. Stray & Co., Christianssands. Xorway. The let ter, which was dated at Christians sands, May 26, 1917, reads as fol lows: "We beg to inform you that we have received from your son. James Moore, who stayed on board our ship 'Storskog,' as an able sea man, when this ship was s.unk by the Germans February last. Your son is in Berlin and is living well there. Should you wish to send him a letter you can send this under address: Frederick W. King, Beuthstrasse, 1- Berlin C, or you can send it to us and we will forward it." Young Moore left Yorkville something over IS months ago, and after working for the DuPont Powder Company at City Point, Va., drifted into the em ployment of another branch of the same company in Delaware, and from there went to France with a cargo of shrapnel, and later he shipped on a British vessel, and came back to Charleston. The "Storskog," It ap pears, was a Norwegian vessel; but as to when and wtiere she may nave been sunk there appears to be no Information. Mr. Moore has written to his son. care of the Xorwegian shipping firm, as he has very little reason to believe that a letter ad dressed to Berlin would ever get through. The letter he received had been "Opened by the Censor," of course. Advertise In The Gazette. PUBLIC SALE OF VALUABLE STOCK. On Thursday, July 5th, 1917, at 10 o'clock a. m..
