'i Y RE et these v; ird ' !J2 Long Whit< ird Black Glov ird DRY ( KINCSTREE, r Graded School Items. Almost all of our arrangements aave been mad? for commencement. The literary society has decided to aave a public meeting the Friday light before commencement, which 1 will be from the nineteenth to the twentieth of May. The query for J :hat meeting is: Resolved, that the 1 mmigration V>f foreign peoples to the United States is desirable. Mr ? Louis Gilland has kindly consented 1 to make us a talk, and Rev Mr Bishop has also accepted an invitation to open the exercises with pray- 1 ;r. Rev Mr Fulton of Darlington s going to preach the annual 6er- ' mon and Dr Mann of Florence, who 1 will be remembered with pleasure 1 ay many, has consented to make the 1 iddress to the graduating class. We wish to extend a cordial mvi- ' tation to the honorary members of >nr society to attend the last meet- ' ug this year, which will be held I aext Friday afternoon. 1 The old saying, "Into each life some rain must fall"?and which, Deing revised, would read, "Upon iach picnic crowd some rain mast fall"?was certainly fulfilled last Saturday, much to the discomfort of some of the jolly picnickers. The lower grades had a picnic out at Mr Fulton's, which was enjoyed by those participating. The seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth grades decided to go a little farther and thus went to that most delightful spot, the Red Bill. Even if nothing else had been snjoyed, the scenery would have imply repaid any one for going. On last Saturday morning about ;hirty-five eager little (?) hearts were gladdened when they awoke and saw ;hat the weather promised to be fair. For was this not the day that we vere all to go to the loDg-talked-of ] )icnic at the "Red Hill"? We first i net at the school building?and it nnet h?? nnrieratnnd that we were cept straight bj the ever-watchful cachers, Profs. Hall man and Bethea md Miss Ross, who were the only eachers present?and promptly at cn o'clock one wagon started and ben others followed. It would have done any one good 1 0 be along and the happy roices as they sang, "Dixie Land," , 'Good-bye, My Lover, Good-bye," . 'Maryland," "Hang John Brown on 1 Sour Apple Tree," and other lively . longs, as they drove along through . ,he picturesque fields covered with i liasses of beautiful wild flowers. . J Since our wagon was somewhat de- , ayed, owing, to some mis- 1 inderstanding about ihe convey- , ances, it was rather late when we started; and as it was a long drive, sve got very hungry and, at the '' suggestion of Borne very sensible per- ,1 son, opened one box of good things. * Every one can readily imagine how ive enjoyed that. Some of our more i superstitious friends were delighted < vhen they saw a ghost in the person j )f a "scare-crow" in Mr Shaw's lorufield. j After reaching the grounds we all flayed some games, even though ;here was an abundauce of caterpil- ( ars and lizards. Imagine our deight when some one told us that c Japtain Coustine was down there ( vith the ''Mercedes"! Nothing can s more pleasant than drifting along j ipon the glassy surface of Black ji iver on a balmy spring day; and, ji QUES alues Ma i ===== 1-i <m 10 C< s and o cei 12* i es 75 cts. 6o c, 60 C( ioods s. c. indeed, eome of the most enthusiastic even remarked that they would be willing to row down that beauti- ' ful stream forever, provided they had a certain other person to row < down it with them, A very caieless remark! Then, after enjoying this for a little while he steered for the shore and there our teachers showed ? us, much to our delight, I assure you, that they could excel every one fise in foot-races and rope-jamping. 1 Now came another good part of i the day?the dinner. We had all sorts of good things; such as chicken, barbecue, rice, pickles, biscuits, sandwiches, cakes, pies, crackers and coffee. After dinner we had another course; this time lemonade and cake. C'apt. Constine was then kind inough to take as for another one of those delightful trips ou the ,4Mersedes." After landiDg again more games were played and some of the "older and more dignified ones" went down to the river's brink to tell Btories, trusting to this enchanting spot to inspire them. And, indeed, it certainly icaust have, for what visible power on earth could cause ill those things to happen in a certain small mountain town, of which the writer told? We then played a ; few more games and sat down to rest j ind to chat, mayhap the la9t time forever at Black River. We were all sorry when the low- I sring clouds warned us that it was time to set out for Kingstree again. Nevertheless, we a)! got into the ' wagons and after going about a 1 mile, a heavy rain came and many , were the sun-hats which served a | louble purpose?keeping off sun and ' ain. But this was part of the fuu, \ lod as it is a thing of the past uow, we must ge0o work on a far less pleasant subject?geometry examination. \ ] NEWS NOTES FROM SCRAN TON.

The property was insured for only i $1,200. It is thought that the < fire was of incendiary origin, as ' the mill had not been run for three or four days, but no ar- , rests have been made. < Mr Troy J Lynch of Cowards 1 spent Saturday and Sunday in ' town with his brother, Dr W S Lynch. i Miss Hosa Tallavast, of this section, went to Hartsville Fri- f lav to spend a few days with i friends. 1 i The Ladies' Temperance Un- i ion, or Sewing Society, of this 1 place, enjoyed themselves very 1 nuch at a quilting last Wednes- 1 lay which was given in thespa:ious hall over Lynch's drug t store.

Dr W C McKnight and Mr Fred Cowards, paid friends at Cowards a pleasant call Sunday evening. Dr W S Lynch has purchased a very handsome automobile, which will be No 1 for Scranton. Never doubt old Scranton, for it is one among the be6t little towns in the South, although our trolly car line has not yet been completed. Scranton's public school closed last Friday, to the regret of many school boys and girls. The school was taught by Mrs L H Little, who was liked by all the children. MRM.
