?The Yorkville Yeoman says that
a firm which has iis headquarters at
Charlotte is buyiDg up a quantity of
dogwood and persimmon wood from
around Clover, for which they pay $4
per cord. The wood is used for making
loom shuttles. T&! paper says
that the farmers are glad to sell the
wood as it is useless to tbem. There
is a quantity of the same wood in
this county and our farraers would be
giad to dispose of it, and it would no
doubt compare favorably with the
quality of the wood around Clover.
It would be a good thin?; if when that
supply is fxhausted the firm would
try this conoty. It would be a great
help to many.

the most destructive of moral tone.

ENTERTAINMENT AT VFINTHROP.
Ou laf-t Friday evening the college
wae veiled by ihe L'uiee Brthaa;>
Concert Company, which gave one of
it3 noted baited and opera concerts.
The entertainment iroveu to be one
of the most delightiul given here
during the past (wo or three years.
The many lavorable "press echoes"
bad 'ed us to expect much, and if any
thing realization in this instance exceeded
expectation Ibe company is
composed of artists whose talents are
widely recognized. It is under the
direction of HB Thearle, of Chicago,
13 M Ilanford being the business
manager. The demand for return engagements
w!>ich this company receives
daring its annual tour is sufficient
testimony of its popularity.
Those who make up the company
are as follows:
W Guillame JSanolet, pianist; 0!ga
Schnoll, violinist; vocalists?Forrest D
Carr, baritoue; Louis J Mintz, tenor;
t - OHA* T.anltft
Jessie DUiUiiCU iuumuc, auv,
M Bn hany, soprano. Mr Siuvlet is
an acknowledged musical genius, and
Ms piano pieces were leceived with
much applause, lie played with exquiri'e
expression and his mu*ic irust
have s p'talcd even to those who were j
leas-t appreciative of classical music.
Olga Schmoll masters the violin
wiih ea<c. srace and power. She is
paid to be cnly sixteen and plays remarkably
well for ber age.
Tlie solo<? and duetts by Messrs Carr
and MinJz brough? cut in beautiful
contrast tl.e deep lich tonep of the
former and the e'e r -5 h rK-'es of the
latter.
Tfce f.ivorite of the evening was
Louise Brehany, who was recalled
time a? d time again. Sbe responded
to ibe repeated encores graciously and
obligingly. Jessie Monroe sang with
mucn sweetness aud expression.
Pun sccond of the pv-gram was
