PERSONAL
?Hon. John. G. Richards of
Liberty Hill brightened our
sanctum Tuesday night for an
hourorso. He is a visitor whom
we are always glad to meet.
?We were pleased to meet
Mr.?Moore of Savannah this
week. Mr. M. is, we think
connected with Mr. Smith
(Henry A., not John) in the sale
of the very excellent State map
for which Mr. Smith is agent.
?Mr. T. A. Myers, now of
Sumter, paid a Hying visit to our
?ity on Tuesday. We suppose
that he wanted to note the
growth of the new baby.
?Mr. ? Gay has resigned his
]x>sition with the Hotel de Work
man. and has returned to his
home at Jefferson. All who
knew him regret the loss of him
?Our young friend, Miss Bet
tie Hammond has resigned her
position with t he telephone com
pany, much to the retrret of all
who have enjoyed the good ser
vice she gave us as central oper
ator.
?Mr. and Mrs. E. Scott Brown
have returned to us from their
Summer visit to North Carolina.
We welcome them back with op
en arms. They have purchased
the Rich property on Main St,
and will erect a modern hotel on
the site in a short time/
?WTe had the pleasure of meet
lug Mr. Brown, the representa
tive of The Victor Spriug Bed,
the bed that Mr. Geisenheimer
is having such a large sale ou.
Mr. U'rown is quite clever, and
we want all of our people to cull
on Mr. Gqi&enheimer and look
into the merits of "The Vic
tor. "
breTities.
?When "Exhausted nature
seeks repose," what can be more
pleasant than to have a "Victor
Spring Bed" on which to re
pose your weary limbs? Noth
ing can equal it. Mr. Geisen
heimer has them. Call on him.
?Messrs. Hirsch Bros. & C >.
are almost overworked and r.eeJ
more help. Their business lias
grown niammothly since the
commencement of the publica
tion of their ad. in The People.
This is as it should be. Let the
good work go on.
?Are you dyspeptic? Have
you a tired feeling? Are you
affected with a cough or cold?
Suffer no longer, my friends.
Simply go to the Drug Store of
Dr. F. Leslie Zemp. He has
your medicine. See his ad.
?A good thing ts always a
good thing. Mr. Geisenheimer
has it. Call on him and exam
ine "The Victor Spring Bed. "
It is the finest, and once you try
it you will never deny it, aud
will be willing to try it again.
?Do not forget that that ?5.00
offer of The Gilt Edge still holds.
We are not much of a gambler,
but do not consider that offer u
gambling scheme. If it was P.
T. would not play it. Wo play
ed it last week. Lost of course,
but we havt not lost heart.
There are other days.
?It makes one tired merely
to look upon the work that. Ba
ruch, the manager of The Hub
has to compell his clerks to do
in handling the tremendous
amouut of business the firm is
doing. Good values for small
money, however always count,
and The Hub is said to give
them.
Owing to the fact that I will
be compelled to employ extra
help in order to properly han
dle the crowds that I expect
to pattonise "The People's
Restaurant" during Carnival
Week, all are notified that I
will furnish no meals during
that week at less than 35 eta
I will feed you well, and invite
your patronage.
W. A. Schrock, Prop.
?The business of bchenk A
Co., is said to have increased in
a phenomenal degree since the
placing of their ad. in the peo
ple. In wagons, buggies,
they report tine sales, and all
oue has to do is to look at any
workman wearing a pair of over
alls to know that they came
from this tirm if the goods
appear to be the finest.
Mount Ziou Section.
Oct. 81:?The box supper at
Mr. E. P. Shedd's on Wednes
day night 26th. was quite an en
joyable affair. Owiug to the
bad weather uoue but the young*
people of the community attend
ed and the boys seemed eager to
show their appreciation of the
"home" girls Irom the way thejj
bid on the many pretty boxes',
baskets and cakes. Mr. and Mrs.
Shedd deserve many thauics for
their kind treatment to all pres
ent. The net profits of the sup
per was ^l'5.05 which will be
added to the sum already ? 6n
hand and used to purchase a
wire feuce for the ceinetary at

Mr. C. Stokes has decided to
repair his ginnery, and will be
reaiiy for business at an early
date.
Your scribe attended a bbx
{supper at Sandy Grove church
;ou Saturday night last, but
owing to the large amount pf
"booze" the crowd was indulg
ing in, we with several others
were utterly disgusted. We do
not see any excuse at all for a
young man with ordinary intelli
gence to lay aside his self res
peel at any time, but when it
comes to using the church for,.a
place of sport and worldly atn
musement, it is time to call a
halt and see where you are drift
ing. Our view of the case is.
that the young ladies are res
ponsible to a large extent for the
way that the young men conduct
themselves. If they would ab
solutely refuse to associate with
the "rowdies" or any but those
ot gentlemanly manners, it
w6uld cause a reformation parti
al if not complete.
If signs are in fallible we may
have a marriage to report soon.
Guess what young man called
on some girls and did not hitch
the horse and had to go off walk
ing.
