Harman, having completed his studies in pharmacy .at the [ Maryland College of Pharmacy, is I now at home taking a much needed rest before entering upon the active practice of his profession.

The County Treasurer has paid out during the past fiscal year $4,743 75 past indebtedness of the county and has something over $7,000 on hand to the credit of the county, which will probably avoid the necessity of borrowing money for the present year to meet current expenses. In the report of the County Treasurer the item of $991.30 for jury, witness and constable pay bills for the February, 1901, term of court was inadvertently omitted. This amount added to the total as published, makes the total expenditure for Cnuntv nnrnnsfiR. We have seen a letter from Solici- | tor Thurmond to Clerk of Court ! Samuel B. George in which he makes ' the request that announcement be made that only jail cases will be tried at the June term of court. As there are no prisoners in jail at present there will probably be no cases called, and the presence of witnesses will consequently not be needed at court.

During the past three or four weeks the grim reaper has been active in our community gathering into the great store house of eternity many precious souls. Deaths have occurred with alarming frequency the most of which fcei >g children. The harvest of death lit-- been large and our grave yards aio rapidly filling up. So frequently have they occurred that as to make them the subject of much concern and comment. The reputation of tne dry goods establishment ot Wm. Piatt Columbia, for fair and honest dealing, and | the standard quality of the goods in stock, is growing daily.

Piatt's, and you will get just what you want at as low prices as the j same aualitv of goods can be pur- j chased for elsewhere. Flour Hill Notice.

Hall Brothers, 2w Lewiedale, S. C. Deaths. On last Thursday morning the gentle spirit of little Joe, the bright and promising son of Captain L. W. Redd, Superintendent of the Lexington Manufacturing Company, departed to the land of perpetual sunabine beyond the darkness of the grave. Little Joe had been sick for some days previous to his death but bis symptoms were not of a nature to create alarm, but the disease had fastened a death grip upon his young life and a change for the worse set in and he began gradually to sink until his sufferings were ended in death. Joe was a polite and manly young fellow and of a high order of intelligence. The svixmatbies of the w n_ * i entire community go out to the stricken parents in this their time of 8)re affliction. The young child of Mr. and Mrs. j Sexton S. George died at the home of its parents in this place last Thursday. The tender plant has been taken home to heaven to dwell ' in the presence of Jesus.

The infant child of Mr. Isaiah | Howard departed this transitory life j last Sunday and it was buried in the j Gross cemetery, on upper Main j street, Monday. Another golden 1 j cord has been moved to bind the i j hearts of the parents to heaven.
